For some reason fans singing 'xx is a shithole, I wanna go home' really winds me up. Especially as much of the away crowd won't have actually spent any time in the town anyway, so won't have the foggiest what it's actually like.

Counterpoint: I had one person American person who was apparently confused enough to think that Brighton and Hove Albion were two different teams. So there's that...
Always thought they were posh those Hove (actually) residents
I bet they were really fed up with some of our songs.
We are Brighton, super Brighton
Give us a B
Hello, hello we are the Brighton Boys

Going to Fulham away and all you can hear certain sections of our fans sing is anti Palace songs

Pretty sure I saw an American sports report where they complained that it didn't seem fair that for World Cup Qualifiers the US had to play 2 teams in one day, USA v Trinidad and Tobago.
The way the game at CC went we needed 2 teams . That`s a great point , i am not strong on American sport but , i can`t think of a single team that shares 2 Towns/Cities names ,possibly Twintown`s Minnesota ,is that a thing ?, i was lucky enough to know a lady from that area a very long time ago , so very distracted .

Soccer, no no no it’s football.

We all sang the same songs and it was always excepted but , if it came up in a discussion or we were called Brighton on the box it was called a lack of respect and most definitely frowned upon . It`s a bit ironic really because i have a couple of really good mates don here , both Muff fans , i usually offend them by calling them Mouthbourne , but call them Boscombe and they are all smiles - go figure
When we have completely outplayed a side and got the 3pts only to get back , we gave you 2 easy goals . Reminds me of the great John Motson circa 1970s when he said that would have been a great goal if it had been on target .
Especially that vile Zaha one which a sizeable contingent joined in with. Shame on you all.
Away wins. Wasn’t it just Spurs away where we won without a striker?
I thought Arsenal as well?
....and a coat rail.
Welbeck played the full 90 minutes at Arsenal. Even at Spurs Welbeck came on at halftime.

The games you are referring to last season also included two quality players in the line up we no longer have. Take the ineffective Mwepu out and replace with Bissouma push Mac up the pitch and have the defensive qualities of Cucurella different game.

This with bells on! Aside from the poor performance and result on the field, I would go as far to say that my match experience was pretty unpleasant due to some of our own fans. The row in front of us had about 10 lads in late teens all tanked up and I suspect a couple had been on the marching powder. I would assess that they spent 90% of the time hurling abuse at Fulham fans sat to our right as we were right next to their end and the segregation tarpaulin. What made it more ridiculous was that the demographic of the Fulham fans anywhere near us was all middle aged many with families who weren't remotely interested in responding to our idiots. Two sensible guys in their 30's in the idiots row eventually cracked and politely asked if they could step back into our row and we were happy to accommodate. Aside from the constant volley of abuse and endless wxxker signs they were pushing and shoving and either falling back on us or on the row in front.
They think we have forgotten
