[Albion] Pascal Groß just getting the train home

[Herr Tubthumper]

I sat next to him on a flight to Berlin a few years back. Seeing the photos of him on the train after yesterday’s game, I feel like he has cheated on me.

If you truly love someone, I guess you have to let them go.

"In May 2017, Brighton & Hove Albion signed Groß for a fee of £3 million"

Yes, it was the week before the play-off final. I’m not sure if we’ll have resigned our EFL membership by that point with the Championship season not yet concluded.

 

[chrisg]

Do you have me on ignore?

No. I have nobody on ignore

 

[Springal]

We signed him after the end of the regular season but before the play off final had been played. I think that technically we were still a Championship club.

But why was his girlfriend already on a train watching us in the Championship ? How did she get tickets

As Ken Dodd said, "better to have loved and lost than not loved at all".

 

[Albion my Albion]

Wonder what English words he now knows if he's only learned it at Albion games...

I don’t know; I was just being a pedant!

Perhaps his missus was watching YouTube vids of us in the Championship?

Looks a bit like Gareth Bale in the first pic

 

[Sheebo]

The club offered security to travel with him on the train and he said no as didn’t want to waste anyone’s time. What a legend.

 

[jcdenton08]

The best player to ever wear the stripes.

Certainly up there. Hard to disagree. So consistent. Absolute quality and club legend.

 

[Stat Brother]

Security for Pascal on the 'Albion' train coming home.
F##k me that's a job so easy even Rishi could do it, (probably).

 

[Lever]

I absolutely agree that Gross has become an Albion legend; but I think there are several players (not least Dunk and Murray who were also essential to our early Premier League survival) who deserve the same status, even though Gross is my all time favourite!

If it's purely about survival, then Duffy is every bit as important as the other 3 mentioned.
But for best ever player, Gross is top of the list of the Prem era players.

I commented on that at the time: "He just doesn't stop".

I seemed to spend quite a lot of the second half just watching him. He's always thinking and directing - his football brain is something else. Jack Hinshelwood will be learning a lot from him - Pascal was often gesturing to him where he should be to give a passing option.:

There was a moment watching the West Ham game on TV when we had to go three at the back with RDZ telling Hinshelwood to move into a more RCB role. You can clearly see Pascal telling Hinshelwood "You'll be fine, you'll be fine". I think those two are really working well together.

Class. Maybe headed to an airport to get a flight to Germany (or a sunny holiday) or something, I'd imagine quite a few of our players have a little bit of time off now given our next game isnt until the 22nd?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Acknowledged by my Stoke mate as "class". Probably not many opposition fans will notice him most weeks as he is mostly dirty work and assists. Definitely in the top 3 Albion players of all time and maybe in the Top 1.

My chief concern for Pascal on that train would be that the tsunami of free drinks offered to him, would see him turn up at his stag do already absolutely twatted.

According to naylor the team are in Dubai already

 

[drew]

Heard he was travelling to a friend's stag do

(Someone on the train had asked him)

I just love Pascal!

If that's the case, he's gone down in my estimation. Going on a stag on the 6/7th is no way to prepare for Wolves on the 22nd!!!

Best of luck to them, they deserve it, hope RDZ allows them one night out on the lash (well a couple of glasses of wine!) at the start of the week to celebrate the amazing first half of the season...
