We English would name all US citizens as Yanks, we would not say Yankee though, and Cockney slang is borrowed countrywide when the example is a bit funny.

We won 4-1 like we won 4-1 last week.
We re top of the f ing league
This is Brighton and And Hove Albion mate
We were rusty last week, we weren’t perfect this week. Possibly the best first 2 games we could have started the season with. Almost like an extra mini preseason.
We also had 4 or 5 decent attacks in the 1st half just couldn’t get a shot away

This is a cracking good result -
Nobody is going to catch the Man City Sheikhs - but every other team has some major flaws.
This could be an interesting season

I was completely unaware that I sounded like a cockney until I went to college (in Leicester) and met a shocking number of people who said "so, you're from London yeah?"

No point derailing the thread. It's just an accepted term for Americans in England, there's no point going into nuances that aren't there.
As to your other point. Of course we're rusty, not up to pace from last season. We're only two games in, we've had the spine of our midfield removed, to expect anything less is slightly unrealistic in my opinion. Honestly this is seventh heaven compared to even 10 years ago let alone the 31 years ago when I started supporting the Albion. I'm loving and savouring every moment of it.
Billy Gilmour?

If my Aunt had big balls, she would have played for the Albion.
Firstly, you should - they love it.
Regarding you septics - we're not all sailors that suck on limes
We do all like roast beef though (and anyone who says they don't is a bloody liar)

Football rarely works like that hence the average score lines.
Bit harsh on Luton...
They did, and they do. We did once but now we don’t.
Just got home, had worse days, and topped off by one of the easiest drives back from the Midlands ever. No delays at all 
From where I was stood, we were pressing them so far up the pitch (and in great numbers - often, Steele was the only player in our half when THEY had the ball - that we were always a bit susceptible to a quick counter and that’s where their better chances came from. Their finishing was, however, utter dogshit (again), and ours was properly clinical especially in that magic 10 mins at the start of the second. Great displays from Enciso, March, Gilmour, Estupiñan and Mitoma in particular but everyone had a decent game. Two wins from two with a squad still gelling and being rotated. Happy days.
