[Albion] Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Beach Hut]

So so excited

Not been so excited about going to a match since Queen of the South vs Rangers in Scottish Cup Final in 2008 - (our one and probably only appearance). Just got to be positive remember Wigan beat city in cup final so it’s doable

Picked the kids up from school at lunch time yesterday, did the long slog up out of Cornwall and got to put hotel in Wokingham fairly late, but now refreshed and starting to get excited

Is this going to be the quietest live match thread ever?

Will you be drinking anything stronger that apple juice ?

Luckily we can have a beer here in Dubai. Just a case of being sensible.

Do you have to sign a piece of paper confessing to be an alcoholic to get beer as part of the weaning off process ?

We played football in those days, I know we got relegated but we played with a better style than we do now.
I support Brighton and love football, just wished we would start playing it again.

Not the time or place for comments like this. Not today please.

Is the game on Sky or normal tv ?

Here's some music to get us in the mood.

Turn up the volume!

My neighbour has just banged on the wall. Assume that means he wants to hear it again!! Good on 'im!

On BBC1

Might try and see if I can stream the BBC, or might be able to do an on demand purchase if on foxtel.

Even watching the most negative interview with Hughton on Sky will not dampen my mood. UTA

 

[ManOfSussex]

It's the Saturday morning of an Albion match day, but I'm going to watch them in The FA Cup semi final at Wembley later - This is feeling a bit trippy now.

Buzzing with excitement.

I love watching us use the same old negative tactics away from home. It's so exciting not knowing how long it will be until we concede our first goal. I find it quite inspiring, I'm sure the players do too, hearing Chris inform us how slim our chances our, how magnificent Manchester City are. "They will need to have an off day and we........ blah, blah, blah." Why not say "I have complete faith in my group of players, we are massively up for this game and I know we have the ability to cause an upset." It's a one off FA cup semi final. Let's have a go for f***s sake.

If we're going to have any chance at all, then the Abu Dhabi All-Star XI needs to have a massive off day. Thinking the job is already done is our best hope of that. This is the easiest hurdle on their route to the quadruple as far as they're concerned, so let's hope it creeps into their play. Talking down your chances and putting all the pressure on the opponent is the oldest trick in the book for a game like this. I doubt what Hughton says in public will match the message the players are receiving.

Thank you Mr D Head - even though factual I found the summary rather depressing. Excitement has now turned to nerves.

 

[Spicy]

Brilliant and that cheered me up.

I just watched the highlights of the 4.- 0 drubbing of City in FA cup game in ‘83.
Couldn’t help but notice the freestyle of play, it was really good to see that.
