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

[Bridcutt]

WIN TOMORROWWWWW

 

[Bold Seagull]

Arrogance from some plain and simple. We have no divine right to win tomorrow. We need a good performance and support.

As fans we need to go tomorrow with BELIEF and TRUST they can get this over the line. Not a load of tension and hand wringing from the stands - that’s the last thing the players will need.

Before your time. You’ll learn our ability to f*** up is beyond compare.

 

[Mike Small]

Beat saints and it would have to be 0-10 v City and 0-6 etc v Villa to claw back a +15

?? If Villa were to beat us by 5 it would be a 10 goal swing. Minus 5 for us and plus 5 for them.

Well today has exceeded my expectations. Was hopeful we'd need a win to secure conference league, wasn't expecting to need a win to secure (all but) Europa League! Incredible stuff... please for the love of God let's not fvck up tomorrow...

 

[The Wizard]

Am I mean for kind of hoping Villa miss out all together? I’d love us beating them final day meaning they miss out altogether, they’ve had one over on us so many times with hideous cheating and time wasting, I genuinely can’t think of a game I’ve enjoyed watching us play them.

And the accent is f**king shit as well.

Nobody's saying otherwise are they?

Or overconfidence and a casual approach ala Charlton where we think we will just turn up and win because we are playing a League One/relegated side.

We need to be up for it, and some of the posts here are saying “job done” and we haven’t kicked a ball

The frustrating part about that Villa point is that even if we win 5-0 tomorrow it's not MATHMATICALLY over.... so no big party!

It is, really.

Too much partying after the Wigan game - but we had further opportunities against Norwich and Villa and blew them both. It still rankles. It will be great to leave VIlla park next Sunday in a celebratory mood instead!

2 down, 1 to go...

 

[Solid at the back]

Tomorrow is gonna be a tough game, players under massive pressure, Southampton on the other hand have that huge weight off their back and come come and relax. We see it all the time, relegated teams pick up once it's confirmed they're down.

I'm not sure if there is much difference financially between Europa league and conference when Premier League money is considered.
On the one hand, you get to play better European opposition in Europa, while confererance gives you a good chance to win a trophy.
Europa League gives the possibility of Champions League football if you win it which is very unlikely for a club like Brighton on league position despite this great season.

Can guarantee there will be plenty of Dark Arts on display up there next weekend.

No one is saying we have a divine right to win? But we are 6th placed playing already relegated 20th place at home

We’re not kicking a ball! We’re there to show we believe they can do it. They’re the ones who need to prepare against complacency, we need to prepare that they don’t need to feel any tension from the stands.

 

[Lever]

We need to live in the present moment and not waste energy uselessly stuffing our minds with a result that may or may not be in our favour tomorrow. Right now I am enjoying the ride.....

No one is or has.

I just think making any kind of Europe would be an amazing reward - along with a club record finish. A few lads here getting onto me, I’m just seeing complacency and calling it out. I’ve been here before.

I have no doubt that we will, but if the game goes against us who knows. The crowd were fine against Everton, but when you keep conceding what can you do?

Good point, well made. I maintain some people here are getting too ahead of themselves.
