[Albion] We couldn’t could we… Roma at home

[brighton_tom]

I dont expect us to win the tie over the 2 legs. Or probably get anywhere close to that. But I would love for us to win the home leg and at least make thing slightly interesting. A goal for us inside 20 minutes would give some hope and make it a fun evening.

 

[BBassic]

Could we?
Sure.

Will we?
Probably not, no.

 

[Beanstalk]

There's about as much chance as a blizzard stopping play or a floodlight failure.
It's not impossible but very unlikely.

Now you've jinxed it.

Brighton P-P Roma.
Game postponed due to a blizzard causing a floodlight failure.

 

[Brovion]

Not just the excitement it'll bring to the game. It would do MASSIVE good for the rest of the season.
A really good performance, a win, even going out, will be huge.
Crap atmosphere and a poor performance would be a real sucker blow.
It's a huge game because of that.

Yeah, that's where I am. Whilst I don't think we can win the tie, I do think we can win the match. And a good, fighting, heads-held-high performance resulting in a morale-boosting victory will do us the power of good imo, even if it ultimately it isn't enough to progress. What I really don't want is another zero-goal (for us) home defeat.

Of course there's an outside, remote chance that we could pull off the mother and father of all comebacks, but that's not where the smart money is (or even the money that left school with only a GCSE in woodwork).

Not a chance, but we can dream. Lets just make the place bounce just because whatever happens finishing top of the group of death was an incredible achievement, so let’s get behind the team to the full.

 

[PeterT]

For some bizarre reason, even though we are 4-0 down, I’m really looking forward to it. Zero or no expectation, nothing to lose, last European game for a while (maybe a long while) …..

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Not if Jason Steele is in goal, there isn't...

 

[Algernon]

We'll be 0-5 on aggregate down without 10 minutes on the clock then they'll settle for that and shut up shop.
We'll then play some lovely football in our own half and the centre of the pitch resulting in us dominating them with 78% possession, 19 shots, 2 of which will be on target, 3 corners and no goals.
One of our key players will get injured, one long termer will be sent off, and a star youngster shall be introduced and it shall be proclaimed post match that Liverpool would have to pay over £60 mil for him.
The chosen pie of the day shall be pollo con funghi and RDZ will get sent to the stands.

I don't think we'll do it.
But I so hope we do or at least show them how we can play.

















But no, we won't.

1% chance 1% faith
Is there a chance?

Would be nice to give them a bit of a fright

 

[Badger Boy]

Not if Jason Steele is in goal, there isn't...

Many a true thing said in jest!

I believe we can turn it around. Fulham's run to the final starring a certain Bobby Zamora involved some improbable comebacks and we're a better team than they were (depending on who's in nets!). I believe we can make one hell of a comeback tomorrow evening.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I think that putting in a decent performance will be more important than the score line

 

[Affy]

Whilst looking out my window with my Albion tinted glasses on, I saw an old Tesco carrier bag and a seagull which clearly are a sign we can do it. I feel oddly optimistic and I have no reason why. I suspect I will be disappointed but hey, let’s at least go in with some hope rather than write us off before we’ve even kicked a ball.

Two Hopes = Bob and none (one for the kids there).

If 50 people think like this, then 50% chance....if 100 think this, then there's the chance that this board is full of idiots

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Of course we could! Unlikely but absolutely not impossible.
i just want us to go down fighting if we are not to achieve the seemingly impossible!

Two Hope's - Bob Hope, and no hope.

And Bob's dead.

Two Hopes = Bob and none (one for the kids there).

Innit

Look at it lying there, pretending to be injured. Get ON WITH IT!

 

[Hometownglory]

Football's a funny old game, and it could happen.

However my experience as an Albion fan tells me they'll most likely get a goal from a sloppy error in the first few minutes, the atmosphere will go totally flat and we might get one back in the 83rd minute.

And I'm an optimist!

Do you do children's parties?
