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

[Professor Plum]

No doubt still 5th up on MOTD, bollocks to them...

Fantastic result for us but for a scrappy 0-1 isn’t going to be above Tottenhams’s 4-1, Leicester’s 3-2 fightback, Arsenal’s defeat, ManU win etc in the eyes of a non-Albion TV audience!

 

[Cordwainer]

Didn’t see any of that..but what a great result against the jumped up barcodes.

 

[kevo]

Woah I’ve seen two away wins out of 3 this season - already ahead of my record of 1 in 9 last

Don't tell me you are catching the coach back?!

 

[pasty]

Looking forward to smug Eddie’s excuses on motd tonight. Oh, and hope Shearer is on too.

 

[el punal]

It looks as if our manager has thrown in the towel before the game has even started. What a truly awful line up. Newcastle won't be at all bothered by that team.

Run this one past me again?

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

Literally just got to Newcastle !! I’m up here for work this week. Good to see the odd patches of blue and white . Love a Sunday kick off.

Fell down the stairs when celebrating and managed to fracture my foot in two places. Just back from the emergency room with a shiny new cast.

Worth it.

Now that’s what I call LIMBS!!

Get well soon - make sure you’re sitting down when we win next time.

If Shearer’s on, the actor will offer not heartfelt praise (playing the positive game to keep his ££££ job), before explaining how the NUFC finishers lacked coolness in the moments.

It’s three points, no matter what anybody thinks.

Danny's news cheered me up, now this! Heal fast matey.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Good news. Danny Welbeck is sitting on the British Airways flight home per the clubs announcement on Facebook. It seems he is battered and bruised but ok.

Sorry to hear that.

Maybe move the TV away from the stairs. Perhaps in front of a sofa or something?

Quite rightly. We should be on last. It's only annoying when one of the non plastic clubs have a great game and still get dropped down the order.

It seemed they weren't sure whether his back will recover in a week, or take 3-5 weeks. Does being on a flight change that?

It means he didn’t hang around in the hospital very long, which is a good sign.

I noticed with Baleba today that when he came short to offer for Verbruggen he generally played it straight back to Bart, taking no chance of getting caught in possession. This is an improvement because he is very one footed and uncomfortable facing his own goal. Let Bart do the progressive pass after drawing the press.

Yes he did .
Sometimes does a brilliant turn,shrugs off the guy that pressed him, progresses strongly in midfield, then loses the ball or misplaces a pass - when he cuts that out he. will. be. awesome!

 

[essbee1]

You can see already that Baleba's getting better each week. He's going to be awesome.

5 hours down, three to go. For some reason it feels so much quicker coming back - something good must have happened around 5pm!
