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

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Wellbeck our best player this year, so hope it's a spasm.
Fergie needs to go home and watch what he does. When a man over a decade older runs past your through sheer desire you have a f***ing problem.

 

[Zeberdi]

Not so unintelligent is he?

Don’t be confusing me with ‘Zebedee ‘

Does our manager really have a clue about what he's doing? I do wonder looking at our line up.

We watch a different manager and different team.

Verbruggen my MotM today - no mistakes, confident in the face of a battering high press. Some great saves.

The perfect example of stealing three points away from home.

Why can't I bounce the thread saying the manager was poor (posted at half time against spurs)

We are 5th

This one wins my vote this time

Their internet must have stopped working as they haven't posted since.

 

[Triggaaar]

One of the best team defensive displays I have seen from a Brighton team for many a year, very well done.

Of course backs to the wall and desperate defending is not the stuff of dreams, but it's nice to know we can do it. I'd much rather this result than a swashbuckling draw or loss. It gives the feeling that Fab can do something Ange can't.

Have you lost internet?

 

[Weststander]

Definitely deserved. They may have had more chances, more possession and what not - but we deserved to win just for our defensive display and one clinical moment.

That’s football. George Graham, Mourinho, Conte and Hodgson spent swathes of their managerial years engineering daylight robberies built on a cleansheet.

 

[Reddleman]

A truly fantastic result as evidenced by how long it’s been since they lost at home.

Very resilient performance. Good to see Ferdi more involved today. I really hope Welbeck isn’t out for too long but if not Ferguson needs to take the chance, he looked off it today.

Really pleased to see we played a pragmatic defensive line, credit to the manager for that.

 

[Frutos]

Today will be the first time I'll have been to a league game since December 2019.

I've only been to five or six league games since promotion, for pretty obvious reasons, but have never seen us lose in the PL.

And still....

The perfect example of stealing three points away from home.

How many times have we have that done to us? But we very rarely do it to anyone else. Incredibly satisfying!

 

[origigull]

Wonderful result today. The boys played well even though the 1st half was very tough. No much of a high line because we had to defend deep. I hope Welbeck is ok.

 

[Bodian]

That’s football. George Graham, Mourinho, Conte and Hodgson spent swathes of their managerial years engineering daylight robberies built on a cleansheet.

Not really sure we actually set out to be defensive though - I think we just had to be. Newcastle are quick, sharp and forward-thinking at all times.

 

[portslade seagull]

Great win under the cosh

 

[Mike Small]

I am delighted that we have a manager who is flexible. We have so many attacking options, it’s worth keeping it tighter at the back. We’ll score.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Very wrong, Dear Friend, very wrong

Defiantly.

 

[Napper]

that’s why Bart is number 1 !!

Puts the ghosts of Chelsea to bed

What a win this is !!

Roll on wolves

Jeez stream frozen on free kick

u need iptv,

 

[Seagullspoons]

Backs to the wall. Looked more solid 2nd half. First half was heart attack stuff. Hopefully Mitoma & Pervis start against Wolves and Pedro can make it into the squad
