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

[Dick Head]

How's the app working for you, it crashed during the Spain v England game, seems to be working fine again now.

It didn't work today. I watched the match on the radio.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Only one shot on target in both games. Clinical.

Our defence get all the plaudits, while this Stat shows how much our CLINICAL strikeforce contribute

I actually feel slightly sorry for Rafa. He's on a hiding to nothing there. The Toon fans are all turning on Ashley, not Benitez.

I'm not buying that.

Ashley has backed Rafa.
He knew he could hide behind Ashley's general shitehouseary.
He's acutely aware of the club and how it's run, and he's still there picking up his large pay cheque.

If the Toon Army weren't so myopic they might realise Rafa isn't the manager they think he is.

Superb finish from Kayal.

 

[BensGrandad]

Superb finish from Kayal.

Dont think that he knew much about it but all credit as it went in for the winner

 

[Insel affe]

Well fought for and deserved 3 points but must admiot I thought thst they would equalise. Locadia looked ok when he came on as did Bernardo.

You started on the whisky already......

Our first win at 3pm on a Saturday since February.

Looking at it now , it looks like a superb flick. He deliberately pokes it behind him into the corner .

Championship at best.

Sums up Kayal’s career. League One standard, but he keeps getting luckier and luckier.

Championship at best.

Dicker would have flicked it up and bicycle kicked it in.

Rafa says we were time wasting from the first minute ..bless him

Keep faith, it does work when its in the mood!

That's fair enough. He's been wasting his time for the last two and half years.

 

[Nottseagull]

Maty Ryan is too short for the PL.

Like Powney, he makes up for it in other areas.

 

[Dolph Ins]

Having watched that 350,000 times I think Kayal did that on purpose ................................ but the deflection from the toon player makes that impossible. There case solved.

I don't think the defender touched it at all although it's difficult to see how Kayal managed to divert it so much.

All the chat before the game about how hard their run has been so far, but no harder than ours. Now all the chat on the radio is about them again and no mention of the Albion. Happy to be under the radar, but the media really are so bloody one-eyed in The Prem.

Just focus on the defender nearest to the penalty spot throughout the clip. He definitely deflects the ball.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Will we see Andone play? Seemed like the ideal opp to bring him on and once again we went for Locadia. Surely Andone should be knocking on the door by now? He's on the bench.
