[Albion] Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall **Singed for Chelsea 02/07/2024**

Think Fati could do a decent job if he had a real coach. We'll see next season - wherever he is (not with us) - if he's really no better than Aaron Connolly, or if we just didn't manage to get the most out of him.

I remember someone saying when Connolly apparently was ‘getting bullied’ he would become a top PL striker.

He has maybe ten years left to get there. You never know, he might be a late bloomer...

All down to the Arsenal tosser who luzzed a bottle of Evian at Dele Ali. Barber had a light bulb moment watching that game and here we are.

50 hours of unwatchable football? Good job you weren't watching us throughout the mid nineties. Perfectly happy with anybody from anywhere giving an opinion. The same opinion, slightly reworded over and over and over again, in threads about other subjects, less so.

Was that at a Spurs game by any chance? PB’s team. Good that it was Evian water rather than Co-Op though, standards must be maintained when water bottle luzzing.

I have lost track of who for and when Dele Ali played for them.

Yes please, I hope Hürzy can deliver it! We didn't see that earlier this year, it was quite boring actually.

I doubt you found it boring before we had like nine injuries at the beginning of the season.
RDZ flounced at the end and was always going to happen eventually. Whatever happened he provided European football for the Albion a historic moment.

Spurs v Arsenal

You were not on here when De Zerbi took us to our highest ever finish, nor when we topped our group in Europe. Yet things go wrong and you ride back into town to reinterpret everything that we lived through.

We liked Graham Potter when he was our manager. We really did. We didn't want him to go. It wasn't our fault that he did, nor that Chelsea was a disaster, nor that De Zerbi arrived and made us better. However, because he did, we liked De Zerbi too. He's now gone too and the usual form applies: We're done with the things we liked in the past and are concentrating on the thing that we have always, and will always love: Brighton & Hove Albion. We're not concerned by what has passed. We all sincerely hope that Hurzeler is better than De Zerbi. We know from what we've experienced, that it'll be a hell of a high bar.

We all get hung up on things, but please try to understand that your constant revisionist attacks on De Zerbi are of interest mainly to you. By all means write them down, but then keep them to yourself or head to Marseille's board and share them there. Without wishing to offend, it was our lived experience and very few of us care what you thought, from another country, months later. We were in the ground. We watched the football. At it's peak, it was by a country mile, the best football we've ever seen our beloved club play. Yes, we all knew that RDZ was an arrogant ideolog and we knew it would probably end in tears, because we had already had the same experience, at a lower level, with Gus Poyet. However, we enjoyed some performances beyond our wildest dreams, and in the Chelsea and Marseille games, some of the best atmospheres we've ever had at home games. We lived and breathed it. We were moved by it. I suspect that I was not the only person in the ground wiping away a few tears on the final whistle against Marseille. Our tiny club actually experienced one of those European nights that we'd been watching the big boys have on telly for decades! No dry, tactical analysis can possibly compete with our lived experience.

If you want to support Brighton, then by all means do so. Even better, travel over and do it. Love should be shared and everyone is welcome if they want to ride this train. Please stop endlessly finding fault with the last driver. We know very well what you think and finding a hundred different ways to argue it is not going to make anyone else care. We're travelling on down the line with a new driver and both Potter and RDZ got off at stations somewhere behind us.

What an elegant post with so many things I can relate to. DeZerbiball at it’s best was so far ahead of anything I have ever seen as an Albion fan. I sincerely doubt I’ll ever see anything as good from the Albion again. Made the ego trip and disinterest from him for quite a bit of last season depressing for me, I will never believe it was just about injuries, and I do believe there was an element of “found out” by other managers too.

Surely everyone was bored as Mitoma, March and Enciso ripped through Wolves at the start of last season. No wait everyone was really excited for the season ahead then we started getting injuries and that was the only time all three of them were on the pitch together all season.

Last season was historic filled with great memories no matter how the season finished and how many times some Potter fanboy troll from Sweden tries to re-write history and tries to tell us how we should support our club over and over again.

This is one of my favourite posts on here. Well said.

I hope he enjoys the cups and the bench.

Haven't seen a lot of him, but glad we didn't sign him because his posh sounding name coupled with scraggly beard was a bit too trustfundy for my liking.

In all seriousness, that new bottletop design must be a nightmare for staff behind the counter because they are, by design, not meant to be pulled off easily (so to speak).

Yes, let's. He's signed for Chelsea, not for us. Whatever the reasons, that's it. I'm not going to say that fatuous phrase, 'thread closed' - but it's high time it slipped down to page 2.....then page 3........page 4, etc. No need for any more contributions, is there.

Didn’t realise they only played the one game together, depressing. We were so good that day

And yet, by posting that you’ve pushed it back to the top

Another one to boo if he even gets in the squad when we play them next season
