[Albion] Premier League 18-20/1/25

Maybe the senile ones remember it that way, but no that wasn't what the moans used to be about.

What did the moans used to be about, in your recollection?

This whole Palace being “good” business is deeply unsatisfactory. Why won’t it stop?

I’m fairly ambivalent about Potter these days (the moment he was sacked by The Chavs, to me it was job done). His Albion tenure seems like a long time ago now …. in those very long non-winning rarely-scoring droughts, was it a case that we were pretty good in our approach play, tons of touches in and around the box, but was it very often a case of woeful finishing, not grasping chances and half chances? Hitting the woodwork counts as a miss.

Would be interested to know the views of others regarding those long non-winning periods, including from @Han Solo. What was the main issue?

It appears this West Ham squad/team is woefully impotent, despite at least three much coveted players.

Don't care whether he succeeds or fails, but I do like a good laugh

NSC is 95% happy clappy

Have you never been on a match day thread?

It’s added another potential funny Schadenfreude opportunity on a PL match day. Always football silver linings.

Really don’t understand players taking their shirt off after scoring. They know they’re going to get booked. Utter stupidity. I’d go mental if I was their manager.

Score 5 miss a game.

Leicester fans on their forum are not at all happy with Ruud Van Nistelrooy. To say the least. Makes our traditional post-match binfests look positively civilised. They want him gone yesterday

They had Steve Cooper who would have likely kept them up. However they got greedy and wanted more style so they sacked him and got in RVN, a managerial novice. They are now reaping the 'rewards' of their decision. Their results are fully deserved!!

Leicester let player/fan power rule, yet again. If Cooper absolutely had to go, then why RVN?

Potter’s Un-‘appy ‘Ammers beaten 0-2 at home by Palace without registering a single shot on target.

Leicester lose 7 league games on the bounce.

Makes our result there even more depressing

It appears this West Ham squad/team is woefully impotent, despite at least three much coveted players.

The main issue in the non-winning periods was having a young bottom six squad in a league with twenty teams. It means sometimes going on winless runs. Like with Hurzeler now recently although the squad is comparatively stronger than it was back then.

It even happens to good games. Wenger had a 10 winless run or so.

The simple but boring reality is that sometimes you go on good runs when everything seems to go your way and sometimes is the opposite. Its nothing unique for Brighton or Graham Potter or Premier League, its just how football is and always has been. There's no single reason or person causing it.

Yeah it’s far to reactionary we can go from crap to Europe in 90 minutes

“We’ll sit down as a group on Monday, take time to digest this, then go again.

For anyone booing, you really need get over 1966, there were 8 other Englishmen in the team”.

Honestly if he said this I would take back every single cheap Potter joke I’ve made over the last few years and start crowdfunding the statue

Just not allowed to happen in Germany

It happens in Germany as well.

Yes, but that counts as happy-clappy to that poster.

Wanker Arteta finally gets booked for coming out his area to scream at the officials! Unbelievable.

Arteta is such a drama queen.
Hope he is sacked when they don't win the Premier league again.
