[Albion] Premier League 8-10/2/22

Wilfrid HAHA. That was amazing. Thank you you insufferable ****. Thank you again for pointing to to turf as if it was the floor's fault afterwards. Wonderful.

It was. His left leg completely gave way as he went to strike it.

Ditto, especially with diving cheat Kane.

“Oh when the Spurs goes losing again” sung, really, really slowly.

Incredible stats away against the big spenders.

We always seem to play within our normal selves at WHL, I’d love the Albion to win there …. this century.

That does kind of highlight how shit we were last weekend.

Hopefully we try a bit in the league match

I always thought you planted one foot and kicked with the other

Not stuck a stiletto heel in at 45 degrees and hoped for the best.

I thought that the 'spurs expose Brighton's weaknesses' narrative seemed a little overstated, but I was listening to the radio and only glancing at the TV, so wasn't overly sure. It seemed like the goals were webster giving the ball away under little pressure, then the defence giving Kane too much time and space to pick out a shot, their second was a wicked deflection that would have otherwise caused us no issue, the third was an embarrassing msicommunication between webster and sanchez (and in fairness, our goal was the result of a wicked deflection, too!). Seemed like they won and appeared more dominant because too many of our players were under-performing rather than because everything was coming together and Conte was starting to have an effect on them.

100 percent. But I'm still utterly gutted that a limited side like Southampton succeeded where we failed so miserably.

Also highlights Stains were trying and we weren't, like GP deliberately didn't blow too hard with his instructions.

If a player or ball is in close proximity his left and right leg has a habit of giving way anywhere on the pitch.
But on this occasion I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt and I think he got confused and tried a dive just before he hit the penalty, to get another penalty.

 

[Mike Small]

It was. His left leg completely gave way as he went to strike it.

Umm no it didn't? He was moving towards the ball at a weird angle and kicked it at a weird angle in an attempt to fool the keeper but merely skidded a bit on the floor. His fault not the grass.

I'm still chuckling at Dibley's disaster. It'll be laughed about for years to come.

Salah does a Maipay or a Gordon Smith. Thank God for Craig Maskell

Jota, a great EPL player.

In the ‘Adama Traore game’ at the Amex, imho Jota was best player on the pitch.
