When was the last time we had one of these? Been completely overrun/outclassed, but somehow won? I guess our way of playing doesn't lend itself to that, but would be good to occasionally experience it.

Certainly what I did to Bet365 when Fulham @ 5/1 was mentioned on here.


Oh and we did it to Forest way back when in the early days of the AMEX.
We had one shot, in injury time, and won 1-0.

0-1 v Newcastle. Spoke to PBOBE at the airport on the way home, I suggested we’d mugged them. ‘Thought we defended very well’.

Yes but we would be Happy if we did it ?? That’s football
To a degree. But we’ve become more educated / snobby since Potter took us over. Maybe since Poyet in fact. I remember that Spurs game away under Hughton when Erikson scored late for them. I remember being embarrassed by our play and negative tactics - and would have still said that if we’d got a point. So personally, the manner of wins does count for a bit!

We were awful in that game…..aimlessly hoofing it upfield time after time with no-one there. Almost worked though !

Worked, yes. Any pride to be a Brighton fan that night - no! I feel 20 times more proud of our lads today despite an unfair loss than I did that night away to spurs with a more respectable loss! We’ve all had a real pro football education since the day Poyet took over on the whole for me!

Should have stuck those 5cumbags on a slow train back to London via Margate stopping at every stop that should suit them perfectly.

100% agree. That game was embarrassing.

The biggest smash and grab that I can remember for us was away at WestHam Bobby Z was playing for them and they were battering us, I don’t think we were time wasting, just sh!t, but Guy Butters scored the only goal with a header from a free kick and our only shot at goal.

At last someone who answered the question!

Loads of examples against us, struggling to think of many times in recent years we've done it to others.
