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

[SeagullinExile]

Good feeling about this one.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Part of me is supremely optimistic but another part is very worried that we don’t have enough defenders to cope with the astonishing attacking power of manure. Sanchez, Dunk, White & Veltman have a got a challenge on their hands, whilst I’m sure Biss and Lallana will take control of centre midfield, it’s those fast breaks that terrify me.

Is it worth a punt on Welbeck scoring against his old team?

 

[dstanman]

Feel we may well get a point out of this one today

 

[WATFORD zero]

Marmite Crumpet to start the day off, what could go wrong from now on in....

I do hope that is literal and not some sort of euphemism

 

[The Optimist]

BT Sport tonight right? Does anyone know if you can pause live BT, and unpause about 30 mins later without accidentally discovering the score? Timing isn’t good for me tonight with little one’s bedtime.

Yes you can. But don’t accidentally change the channel as I once did (also for my child’s bedtime), otherwise you lose the pause. Safer to record it.

It’s a bit bare bones for us at the back, and whilst 3 at the back with support from Moder and Gross worked against a poor Newcastle I can’t see it being strong enough to contain Man U.
I hope Ole goes a bit conservative, knowing what they have coming up. If that happens I think we have a chance. I hope Fred plays, because historically he’s been shite against us

 

[KZNSeagull]

Today's the day chaps. 2-1

 

[oldboyroy]

Not expecting anything from tonight but would love us to win or get a point. Think United will have too much quality for us though.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Is Pogba playing? Hope so, but hope the rubbish Pogba turns up. When I saw him v us when we beat them he was utter garbage. Oh no that's done it he will be world class now.

One big factor in our favour is our away form which is excellent, we’re hitting a good patch, Leo, Maup and Welbeck have all scored lately. And GP has a real knack of picking the right team and right strategy for most games these days. Good luck to Ole trying to figure out our line up and system.

Genuinely feel we have it in our locker to get a result today. If chaos falls our way maybe all 3 points.

I am going to be drinking too much again tonight aren’t I ?

Win, lose or draw

 

[Official Old Man]

Which team will be most affected by the WBA result psychologically?
Newcastle, first 'in trouble' team playing today, will hope to get something better than Fulham.
Fulham, thinking a draw would be good at Villa, would be targeting 3pts and at least bettering Newcastle.
Brighton, last out of the traps, maybe will be relaxed knowing we cant lose a place in the league but any wrong results earlier could mean we will need every point we can get.
I reckon the four games today will be
Away win Burnley
Away win Spurs
Home win Villa
Draw at OT.

I think you can only drink 'too much' if we draw. Win or Lose and 'too much' doesn't exist

 

[Frankie]

Can't see it being a 0-0 , really would like us to win 0-1 with the last kick of the game , and i mean the very last kick Mr Dean .

I'd take that.

 

[neilbard]

In the past I would have expected only a defeat but today I believe we can get something. Our form away is better and they are definitely inconsistent. I know that at their best they can trounce anybody, but will they?

Still 12 hours to kick off , (sigh) but I will spend Sunday in hope of at least one point .

Our away form is fairly decent, 4 wins and 4 draws, Man Utd. have lost 4 home games and drawn 3 so every chance tonight.

Obviously Newcastle losing and us getting all 3 would be dreamland.

But most realistically, I think it’s important Newcastle don’t get a result today.

 

[Insel affe]

I think it’s important Newcastle don’t get a result today.

Seconded, the more I hear their fans moan, the more I want them to get relegated.

Loathsome team & fans.

No one. WBA remain dead.
