[Albion] Middlesborough vs Brighton and Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

I'm getting pretty annoyed with Poyet constantly telling the press all week that the players are fit and fine when they quite clearly aren't.

Why tell the opposition what the prospective line up will be ?

 

[Sussex Nomad]

deserved it then imo.

Unless you're an NSC lovey and can celebrate someone's death ... this place is full of hypocrisy.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

come on you super seagulls

 

[Freddo]

Why? he's made it clear he doesn't want to tell the truth about which of our players are fit, as he doesn't want to give the opposition extra information. You know the score, we all knew Kaz and Buckley were out.

maybe he does this to keep the opposition guessing

Of course that's the reason why, and it does make sense. However it doesn't make it any less annoying as a fan to see the team considerably weaker than everyone was expecting!

 

[Sussex Nomad]

You don't think he should be banned for that?

Only if everyone that celebrates someone's death gets banned too.

 

[yxee]

3 minutes to kick off

perfect time to play elongated interviews with both managers

 

[portlander]

me too
how you doing mate

Recovering from a little surgery, which means no interruptions from the wife asking me to do things around the house! You doing OK?

 

[fleet]

Here we go

 

[brakespear]

C'mon Albion!

 

[Meade's Ball]

Only if everyone that celebrates someone's death gets banned too.

Wishing to murder a Brighton player and being satisfied that an evil cartoon figure has perished are clearly two different things.

PS come on the ruddy Seagulls!!!!!!

The only weakness we weren't expecting was Kuszczak. It's annoying we're missing players, but it's not annoying that Gus didn't tell us in advance. I'm glad boro haven't had a week devoted to taking pot shots from 30 yards.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeagulllsss!

 

[portlander]

how you doing mate
