[Football] Terrible i know.........

[oldboyroy]

Just can't wish Graham good luck tonight with his 1st game in charge. Sort of hoping Salzberg win tonight which is unusual for me as I generally hope British teams do well in Europe.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I always want Chelsea to lose. Every game.

This has not changed after recent events.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Booooooooo

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Not terrible.

I really don’t care…..

Would enjoy Post #3 - so perhaps I do……. Thank you [MENTION=35196]Is it PotG?[/MENTION]

 

[Perfidious Albion]

That’s not terrible, it is reasonable.
Years ago I always supported English teams in Europe, when the managers and players were British. Since the Globalisation Of The Prem League, I have lost that support. Now ,apart from Brighton, I could not care.

Get over it.

How many Potter and Chelsea threads are there going to be..

It's like pining after an ex that's dump you.

 

[Loadicus Trux]

As soon as I heard he was talking to Chelsea, I knew he was gone. I did think how fantastic it would have been if he stayed, but then I stopped dreaming. He's the Chelsea Manager now and I d care about him or Chelsea's fortunes.

 

[Loadicus Trux]

That's supposed to be don't care.

This, but with one caveat for me. I'd happily see them smash Spurs every time

 

[Eric the meek]

The real dilemma will be when Chelsea play Palace. Is it possible for both of them to get absolutely slaughtered?

 

[schmunk]

Hoping for a Bernardo winner.

"That's for dropping me and selling me off, Potty"

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Get over it.

A lot. Get over it.

A dour 0-0, several red cards per side and huge fines for failing to control their players, plus lengthy touch line bans for both managers is just about the dream outcome for that fixture now.

A dour 0-0, several red cards per side and huge fines for failing to control their players, plus lengthy touch line bans for both managers is just about the dream outcome for that fixture now.

And the red cards should be for violent conduct so attracting the longest ban and then each club appeals every card, each is thrown out so each player gets an extra match ban.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I normally want the British teams to succeed in Europe

Not tonight.
I would like Potter to suffer a little.
A few months of discomfort in his new role and getting some real hostility from the fanbase.
It's petty of me, I know.
But I do.
He's an excellent coach and if he endures that he will come out stronger from the experience.
I hope he ultimately succeeds, but some pain first would be good.

 

[Swansman]

Will be very interesting to watch and I hope Chelsea win, partially because of GP but... I would have hoped so even if they had Mourinho or Tuchel as manager.

If you think you're the victims of some hideous modern football crime, imagine if Boehly had bought the club, renamed it McDonalds Brighton, switched team colours and then said "this is a new club with no history". That was what happened to Austra Salzburg some 15-20 years ago. Under no circumstances would I ever hope that this team wins a football game.

 

[Soton Seagull]

I've never really got the whole 'I support English teams in Europe'. Thinking of the sides from our fair shores, most of them have irritated me numerous times over the years with their entitlement or 'big 6' swagger mentality. Wht would I want them to get even more cocky?

Frankly the majority of European football teams have seldom done anything to annoy me, so I'd rather they brought the bill big b*llocks down to earth.

Isn’t the Salzburg model exactly what Boehly was talking about replicating for Chelsea to support the academy in his recent ‘vision for Chelsea’ part of the interview

Let’s not forget this also a club who was recently in bed with other top European clubs to force a breakaway.

Potter or no Potter always hope Chelsea lose

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I'm probably in the minority that I couldn't really give a stuff about English teams in Europe, but would like to see GPott succeed (apart from against us, obvs), starting with a win tonight

His departure doesn't change the fact that he's an excellent coach and I wish him well, regardless of how or why he left BHAFC.

No dilemma for me, anyone but palace
