[Albion] Premier League 20-22/5/23

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Willing RDZ to put out the strongest at kick off and not with 2nd half substitutions !

This. Maybe chuck Buonanotte on for the last five minutes or something when we're 3-0 up

 

[The Fits]

Get the f*** in Brentford.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Marvellous stuff!! Spurs to finish 8th or worse would just be fantastic.

 

[Triggaaar]

Quite pleased with that

 

[Reinelt 62]

Well, Yves, my little old fruitcake, you should have stayed with the big club.... (ditto Cucu)

Lucky to stay on though. Looked a red to me. Otherwise having an excellent game.

Deeply unimpressed with Brentford, Spurs generally have been very good. Kane has been excellent.

Brentford’s one tactic is to get it to the left wing and put in a cross. This is all well and good, but without Toney they have nothing to aim at. Neither Mbuemo or Wissa are threatening much in the air, so they’re stumped a bit.

Quite impressed with Schade for them, though. Jensen also looks tidy. Just can’t see outside of a set piece how they’re going to score, and even then Spurs are defending them well.

You’re welcome lads

I saw Ivan Toney and said I was worried that Tottenham might win. He said 'I wouldn't bet on it'

I actually turned over to Stockport v Salford as I found the Tottenham match too tense. But I have a friend who is an avid County fan so I'm feeling the drama of this too.

I'm not supposed to get over excited. This never ending season is too much.

My partner was born in Stockport, so we've been watching this. It's tense too. And then attention turns towards Fortress Anfield

 

[Stato]

.....and us.

Indeed. Whatever happens in the Liverpool v Villa game, we - Brighton & Hove Albion are one win away from qualifying for Europe! Who'd a thought it? I had always presumed that @Giraffe had added that line just for a laugh.

They’ve had 7 bookings in normal time!

Actually this thread this afternoon has been rather like the real time match reports on NSC circa 2001, crooners to the Albion and Mrs Butters telling us about Guy's latest chicken consumption, and all that, for all those who remember.

 

[Sheebo]

You’re welcome lads

They weren’t offering anywhere near enough first half yet the space was there. Fair play to Frank.

 

[Sheebo]

On another note I see there’s rumours of Southampton playing some youngsters - not sure if that’s good or not though…!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Another Blue Peter Badge for Kane right there

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Come on Pool!

 

[hart's shirt]

One down, two to go.

 

[Official Old Man]

Now the 1978 revenge scenario is on. If we and Villa both win this weekend and we beat City midweek, we'll be in the Europa and can play out a 0-0 at Villa Park without a shot from either team to give Villa the Conference spot whatever Tottenham do at Leeds.

Yes, and no. Villa lose to Liverpool by 1 goal please. Then Villa will have to better the Leeds Spurs game plus 2 goals against us. I'd be happy to lose 3:0

 

[jcdenton08]

COME ON LIVERPOOLLLLL!!!!!

 

[nwgull]

What a great start for us. I was only able watch the first half and at that point fully expected Spurs to cruise to a win based on that - they could/should have be 2 or 3 up. Nice surprise to check back in and see Brentford had turned the game in its head!

Villa are 6-1 to win at Anfield. Any takers?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Liverpool look up for it but not a lot happening at the moment.

McGinn is a nasty piece of work
