[Albion] What a Lovely Club Chelsea Are..

[portlock seagull]

All of the above, but the biggest disappointment for me is the number of Albion STHs whose first club is Chelsea. I just don’t get it!!

Don’t know any, think you’ve been reading the Holmsdale hyperbole too much

My first visit to Stamford Bridge, I really should go more often!

Is the number ZERO?

Biggest dissapointment is the number who have Brighton as their first team but don't attend games

The funny thing about managers such as Tuchel, Pep, Klopp is that they’re great fun when they’re winning, laughing and joking at press conferences etc, but as soon as they start to lose games, damn the gloves come off and they just look like Whiney children.

Chelsea have always been a horrible club followed by complete bell ends, this isn’t new, I started hating them and their racist fans back in the early 70s ( you can add dirty Leeds to that as well)

The funny part of this thread is the thought of Bushy trying desperately not to blow his cover.

True but that blew over fairly quickly. After all, Pep was relatively generous in defeat in the post match presser and certainly never anything like as bad as Tuchel last night who was an absolute graceless bell end.

Yeah. He’s been moaning loads, but the 3 I’ve mentioned are massive crybabies if things aren’t going their way.

So true!

I’ve forgotten them already. An irrelevance to me. Just another team.

Bushy sums up everything that's wrong with their fans.

Tuchel sums up everything that's wrong with their entitlement.

Tuchel epitomises the club

Exactly. You need to be a special kind of c*** to go and work there given the paymaster

 

[sydney]

just noticed on the box when GP went across to shake hands the bench remained seated apart from Tuchel who had a face like a smacked arse.....when GP realised the rest of the bench weren't getting up he just turned on a sixpence and walked away ......bloody brilliant gesture, not even acknowledging their poor form.

Do share the statistics

I know of at least 10 that I could name off the top of my head. On the basis that I know less than 1% of Albion’s fan base I’ll leave it for you to extrapolate.

Really? I've thought about the 20-30 Albion STHs I know well and not a single one ever followed Chelsea. Funnily enough one of them did follow Palace as a kid

I seem to remember he gave one of his sarcastic press conferences. He can be a graceless hypocrite at times, not unlike Tuchel. Who cares though. Shows we are doing something right.

He won't because he can't. If it were true then there would be similar if not more Arsenal and Spurs fans plus those from United and Liverpool. It's pure fabrication to say that swathes of Brighton fans only follow the Albion when they can't get to see their ' first' club. Chelsea would never be the first choice for generations of Sussex kids because they've only been consistently successful for the last 18 years since they've been bankrolled by Abramovich

Maybe but Chelsea had a big following down here in the 70s and in many cases that gets passed on to their kids esp when the Albion was struggling in the lower divisions. Then came the Abramovich cash and out crawled the “I’ve followed Chelsea since the 70s brigade, and before that my dad did and his dad, etc”.

Look at the age profile of our STH. High proportion of men over 40. Were all of them going to Withdean and Gillingham?

Not sure anyone said “swathes”, and yes there are other top 6 followers with the exception of Man City, whose rise coincided with ours.
