[Albion] Premier League 16-17/4/22

Not bad for us - but I'd prefer an Arsenal come-back in the 2nd. half. Realistically we can't catch The Arse, but anything that contributes to us finishing above Southampton would be very welcome!

Yep, and a sneaky equaliser for Watford wouldn't go amiss, either.

I'd be fine with waiting a week to make bottom place impossible if it means man u dropping points/losing.

....and as if by magic.

If we haven't already been sufficiently entertained today, Arsenal Fans TV looks promising for an hour's time.

Let the fam and games begin.

There will be blud.

I'll take solace in that, despite the fact I'd rather that Stains had lost/drawn.

And bleedin' Brentford scoring a winner in 90+6. Grrr!

Well I think the bookies won't be taking much more money on the three for the drop.

I know Burnley always wriggle out of it but you can't see them surviving this time?

A great day for the 4 mid-table sides, with Brighton, Brentford, Southampton and Man Utd all winning.

The "Potter to Arsenal" rumours are bound to start again soon as the media look to create gossip out of nothing if they haven't already

Arsenal are shite.

Potter hands them an opportunity on a silver platter.

Same old Arsenal, 15 years of being EPL flat track bullies with winning runs against non-top 6, then fall apart when taken on.

Nah, if you were a shit, lazy journo you’d be looking up the A23 to a young up and coming manager who also happens to be an Arsenal legend……

MOTD we’re on.

MOTD we’re on.

And Potter’s secret ‘shutting off the passing lanes’ tactic completely dissected and exposed by our ex as all other EPL managers sit behind their TV screen, busily filling up their notepads! [emoji31]

Superb analysis on MOTD. Showing how whenever Spurs had the ball, even when relatively deep, we closed down the passing lanes to Kane, who is their main outlet. They then had to resort to playing down the wings, which we were comfortable dealing with.

Hughton a gent as ever, very complimentary

 

[Brok]

Sooo... we go again.
Saudis v Lester. I'm guessing, from a Brighton point of view, that a draw is the best result for us in the long run?

Isn’t it great that we don’t need to support anyone to help us out for the first time we arrived in the PL

Yes, I think so too, but we'll have our work cut out catching Leicester if they can capitalise on their games in hand, so if not a draw, then a Leicester win, for me.

Yep, from my day and level you showed them the line or inside depending on where you felt comfortable. We definitely appeared to just square some of them up allowing them the outside or even inside ball, but nothing direct into the striker’s feet. There was much to admire about our performance yesterday, Spurs we’re only rubbish because we cut off their normal patterns of ball movement:
