[Albion] The Chelsea wins.....and reactions to them.

[Reddleman]

So called football supporters who come across as dull as dishwater and just shrug at a defeat or don’t get to high at a win and come out with statements like it’s never going to be linear and question why people are showing actual Emotion are plain weird in my book.

In real life I’m actually responsible for people’s lives in a way and football is a chance to let off some steam.
If you couldn’t care less if we win or lose and follow the clubs progress like a companies stock portfolio to me that doesn’t sound like much fun.

Who really cares if we lose our heads at getting stuffed 7-0 or throw away 2-0 leads twice in injury time against poor sides. We are only venting letting off steam and doing what millions of football fans do across the globe on weekly basis.

The stuffy prawn sandwich brigade may not feel that raw emotion and that’s sad in its own way is something they don’t understand so they insult those who do.

Couldn’t agree more

Just because we don’t agree with you doesn’t mean we don’t care or lack emotion.

Are you satirising yourself here? It’s one of those I don’t want to leave a laughing emoji as there is an element of being whooshed about it…I mean brilliant if it is.

And you are a self proclaimed wind up merchant so the problem is no one knows if your relentless negativity is real or made up - neither is a great option. Football is indeed a chance to let off steam for virtually everyone on here, we all care about this club, we all hurt when we lose and love it when we win but it doesn't mean we have to be brain dead and instantly call for a manager's head when we lose or a player to be dropped if he makes a mistake because anyone with half a brain knows that's not a way to run a football club and is what the worst fans at the worst clubs do and almost always leads to things getting worse in the long term. Raw emotion is great - to be honest that's why I've been going to football for 42 years but it doesn't have to go hand in hand with idiocy.

At least FH knew he messed up at Forest burnt the tactical plans for the Forest game in front of all the players, respect that. We all get things wrong it’s admitting it that’s hard.

 

[pocketseagull]

I think the 'outers' just thought that the squad were capable of better and perhaps a manager with different approach could get more out of them. Happily enough FH has changed and we have improved. I certainly thought the direction of travel meant he was likely to be gone end of season and again that could still happen.

You have no idea about me and what I have to deal with in my life on a daily basis. But that paragraph DOES describe me - to a point. But a 'so-called' football fan and 'plain weird'? Fack RIGHT off!

Yeah, my opinions and feelings might be different and not as extreme as many others, but that certainly doesn't make me part of a 'stuffy prawn sandwich brigade'! What a bizarre way of looking at it. I completely get why people reacted in the way they did - it's human nature. My issue is with fans stating one extreme view - 'Fab out', 'there's no way back for him', he's lost the dressing room' - and then backtracking.

I actually think fair play to those who still aren't convinced by him or sticking by their original views. I hope they turn out to be wrong, for all our sakes, but at least they aren't voicing and changing their opinions like the wind!

Yours,

A 'so-called' fan of Brighton and Hove Albion.

It won’t… unless he does a Potter…!

 

[nickjhs]

I have been “on the fence” about him all season.

The last two results have been brilliant, but they follow the trend of us doing well against decent sides (besides Forest/Liverpool). The big test is Southampton next week and whether we can finally start seeing some positive results against those down the bottom of the table.

For pities sake this has been the issue from Potter onwards, it's about our style of play, the team is renowned for their flowing attacking football which makes it hard when we are up against defensive counter-attacking teams. This time we let CHA have the ball and we counter attacked, also (unlike many teams) we managed to do it without killing the game. FH as a young, relatively inexperienced coach in charge of a squad of young relatively inexperienced players, is doing a bloody brilliant job. If we can hang onto this squad next season is going to be a blinder, not that this one is looking all that shabby either.

Bookmarked for when we lose 1-0 to Southampton next week.

Give it another week and you'll be screaming for a policeman.

Yeh, I agree. And you know what - I think it's run its course now. Run out of any interest that it may have had at the start ................ so, only one thing to do?


Where's that button again?

I'm pleased that most people seem to understand why I started this thread.

A few words (four, was it?) flicking two fingers at the....what's the word? Bedwetters!

And even after the Albion dicking Chelsea again, a few silly sausages remain more offended by this thread, still posting peevishness, than delighted by the wins.

What ever.

You needed to read 274 posts over the course of a week, to reach this solemn judgement?

I salute your decisiveness

At least under RDZ we didn’t have these tedious threads, well only up until his tools were all broken in the box and then without his best players ‘obviously’ he had been worked out

Bring back RDZ, and the end of tedious threads!

As protests movements go.....that seems to be lacking a little protein.

The title was dictated to by the quality of the banal and frankly embarrassing comments following Forest. The thread itself was, and still is, entirely justified. If the twits among us can have multiple "Fab out" threads, surely the rest of us are entitled to a "Shut the f*** up" thread
