[Albion] What a brilliant game of football

[One Teddy Maybank]

unbelievable quality. Literally nothing not to like…..

Two great teams and coaches.

 

[Simster]

Imagine the drooling if this had been the FA cup final next week. Instead, the whole world will have to watch City absolutely spank United.

United at their best are nowhere near our level at our best. Amazing but true.

Re Steele, tonight really emphasised how MOTD were correct when they discussed everything starting with him. He was brilliant tonight with his feet - some utterly sublime longer balls.

Its insane how calm our players are on the ball - even current fringe players. Cruyff turning and alsorts all over the show in our own final third against the best team in the world. Just an absolute joy to watch!

I've just remembered the Gross turn that Van Hecke did in the penalty box. Humongous balls.

Would love to see a clip of it again

Point of order: I think it’s now been renamed the Gross turn

Please let us give Villa a footballing lesson on Sunday, to beat those shithousers at home and give them the shits about not qualifying for Europe, as the other games are playing out, would be a highlight of the season for me. Yes I do dislike them that much.

 

[Wozza]

And for anyone thinking City didn't really care about the result - well, you only have to look at Pep's reaction to their disallowed goal.

I am still buzzing. Feel incredibly tired after all the shouting and singing and have to teach Y5 this morning somehow with a voice that can only muster a croaky whimper. But my goodness, what a team we have, absolutely overflowing with young talent. And Julio! My heart felt like it would explode when that rocket hit the back of the net, to celebrate like that for a man of my age is simply unsafe! I felt that his goal was most certainly the best goal to grace the Amex and on the way home at about 11pm, Tony Bloom confirmed it and said it was the best, well that's good enough for me. This is dreamland, fantasy stuff from the Albion, more than half a century of watching us up and down the country, in every league top to bottom and never for one moment did I ever contemplate us ever having a team like this, a season like this. I am so happy right now, who was it on here who said they pity the 'poor dead souls' who don't like football - well spot on chap!

I had to pinch myself when Steele plucked the ball off Haaland's foot in the first half... imagine if you could go back in time and show that to him when he was having that torrid time at Sunderland.

That was truly magnificent. It looked long odds-on for Haaland to score from that position. But Steele thought otherwise

 

[Insel affe]

Simply dreamland football, we have come so far, the most exciting thing is…
We are not finished yet, the dream continues into next season…
A thought for those Albion fans we have lost, that have not witnessed this epic season.

I love this County, City & Club.

 

[Stat Brother]

I can't categorise it.

It wasn't a pre season friendly.
It wasn't the Community Shield.
But it definitely wasn't a rank and file EPL game.

All I can come up with is:-

"My favourite bit was when Maximus thrust his sword into the centre spot".

 

[Invicta]

Cracking game with a brilliant atmosphere.

Ready for August already!

 

[Nicks]

4 hours sleep and back at work already here.
Still buzzing from last night and I thought I had seen it all in 50 years of following this team but last night took it to another level of pride, emotion and love of this Club.

A mini dust cloud blew into my eye when the final whistle went.

HD Scenes.

I believe that @Prodnose's tweet when City beat United to the title in injury time was:

'Football, f***ing football. Imagine not being into it. Those poor, poor half alive bastards.'

I've been watching Brighton for over 50 years. That first half performance was the greatest I have ever seen and it was against probably the best team in Europe.

Yes that's the one, I remembered the essence if not the words. Thanks!

 

[Iggle Piggle]

The only thing prior to last night that could have scuppered Europa League was a massive goal difference swing. So what do we do? Go toe to toe, man for man against one of the best teams in the world with a load of kids. De Zerbi's motivation and organisation must be off the scale

@coombes24
I'd ask Brighton to play the u18s for us on last day but they're probably all South American wonderkids so whats the f*****g point #avfc
