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

[JBizzle]

I'm not sure how they can say anything to disrespect us when we've barely been mentioned so far

 

[Flounce]

Getting plaudits for discovering Dan Burn...

I noticed that! Mr Potter takes full credit for that imo

 

[Zeus]

It was the complete opposite. Wright was saying many elder Palace players didn't respect Coppell when he started, and Mark said it's even harder for FH because at least Coppell had a playing career to point at. Perfectly reasonable point. The point was the elder players deserve credit for adapting. I genuinely can't believe anyone could be disrespected by that conversation. Utterly bizarre

A lot of our fans are desperate to be offended.

 

[Flounce]

Isaak getting a MASSIVE build up, game over

Isaak getting a MASSIVE build up, game over

Off with an injury inside 15 mins.

 

[VAL1850]

Earlier they show Newcastles fan hall The Stack... Looked good, Beer Hall with stage... Anyone been?..

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

No idea what smug Eddie is saying … interview on mute

He called you out personally, reckons he could take you no problemo

 

[Gabbafella]

Embarrassing coverage from ITV. 32 minutes into it before we get any real mention and it lasted for only a minute or so.
I hope little ol' Brighton can shock the world by getting a result against these galactic giants

Every time we're on TV you can guarantee there will be some people slagging off the commentators, the pundits, the people in the studio. I guess it's how some people get their kicks.

Does anybody know how many away fans we've taken for this one? I know we sold out the allocation but I'm not sure what that was

About 1k

about 1k I think but someone else(usually Davethehatosaurus) will know better

We originally had 1,500 on sale but when it became obvious we were not going to sell that amount the club moved those that had already bought tickets in L7K and returned about 300 to the toon so virtually spot on 1,200.

Haven't been watching from the beginning then? What with the Webster and FH interviews first up?

 

[nicko31]

Come on lads, get the spirit of 1983 and Peter Ward

Turned on about 5 minutes into it, gutted I missed the few minutes air time they've given the minnows.

Bollocks! They started the programme discussing our conveyor belt!

Talking rubbish. We had loads of coverage at the start lasted a lot longer than the first 5 mins. A lot more about us before Newcastle too.

 

[elwheelio]

O’Riley doesn’t make the 18. I don’t think he’s injured, so a clear sign of where he is on the pecking order right now

Not great for him.

 

[sir_gullahad]

C'mon Brighton!

 

[Littlemo]

C’mon. Let’s scan these barcodes

 

[Si Gull]

Good move within the first minute.
