[Albion] Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[maresfield seagull]

Good half
Adam the Llama uncharacteristically sloppy with possession on a few occasions since scoring

 

[oldboyroy]

Well I'm very happy that my prediction has been blown apart. Great 1st half by the lads totally dominant

 

[The Fits]

Can we sign Colwill please? Rolls Royce.

 

[pocketseagull]

we're the risk bastards, I love it, we're exciting as hell. Just have to go on and win now, please.

We’ve had worse first halves

 

[Bodian]

Veltman being too friendly there, the whistle didn't go play on!

Just getting in the ref's good books by pretending he's nice and it's all only an accident, and so on. It means his later foul on the same bloke in a dangerous area went completely unpunished!

There is no end to Veltman's dark arts.....

 

[Eric the meek]

You can sum up that first half by 'And Solly must score'.

 

[aolstudios]

Veltman is so so good at dark arts - getting fouls, slowing it down, getting away with his own sneaky fouls.
He has such an innocent little face too.

This ^
Pissing ourselves here at his genius at getting benefit of the doubt. Every time

Yep

Seems all the luck we didn't have at Charlton, we're cashing it in today.

 

[jcdenton08]

Hoddle is great. He actually analyses the game.

 

[Swansman]

I dont think this performance has been anything special really - good but not more than that. But apparently that is enough to pretty much destroy Southampton.

Nice to get three points without needing to wash the kits after the game.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Tried to give one away at the end of the half, could be 3 up

so far so good.

How are Palace doing?

Rhetorical question I know
BUT they re down to 10 men and losing 0:1

Fair trade. I’ll take it.

 

[The Fits]

Gotta love Poyet. Still unhinged. Still passionate. Still loves us.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

2 nil up…. Can’t complain about that … onwards my seagulls!

 

[nwgull]

Yet more evidence the Solly bashers know f*** all.

I think most people recognise Solly as a decent player at PL level. I think you can however afford us all a bit of a laugh about how bad his goal scoring record is compared to the high standard of the rest of his game.

On a positive note, if he was able to covert with any sort of regularity, he’d be playing for one of the £££ teams.

 

[nicko31]

Awesome first half, ours to lose Saints so poor so far.

 

[The Fits]

Hoddle is great. He actually analyses the game.

He just knows good football as well doesn't he. Always a bit of an anomaly in English football. He loves the way we play.

 

[maltaseagull]

Lallana really is silky.

It's like a coach is on the pitch. Always telling players what to do.
