Bless you my son, Lord have mercy on your cassocks in Hassocks. :angel:

For Gawd’s sake the whole of my post was FOOTBALL related and on a football forum. In terms of defeat though that was a really bad one and therefore lingers in the system a bit longer than a straight forward loss of, say, 1-0 or 2-1. We are all Brighton fans at heart so, like you, I’m looking...

Yeah, right.

To be honest I nearly didn’t go. Streaming cold, hacking cough, dodgy left ankle so I felt shit to begin with. But I went and suffered football’s equivalent of self flagellation. Anyway, after all that I suppose I’m better now thanks. The loved one is still here and fine. :thumbsup:

Of course it is - that’s why it’s football. Check out Bill Shankly’s quote on life and death! :lolol:

Having had the misfortune to be at the City Ground last Saturday I’m still trying to come to terms with why and how everything could go so disastrously wrong. Okay, there have rumblings of discontent in previous games about our inability to shut out games when we’re winning or being unable to...

This just makes me bristle with indignation.

Okay, so we don’t have a fan base. Your interpretation totally differs from mine let’s leave it at that.

He’s been injured, ill, out of form. If sending him out on loan to rediscover his potential for next season that’s fine and everyone benefits. Decisions like this are not made lightly and in my view I’ll trust the board on this one rather than NSCs’ finest experts.

The general concensus at the beginning of the season was that we had a young manager with no Premier League experience, a group of young, promising players also not used to the PL and a zany system for playing those games. Bearing that in mind many pundits reckoned that we’d win and lose games...

Nice to know the success of a team is attributed to their fan base. By that reckoning Leeds would be Champions of Europe for every one of the last 30 seasons. Sheffield Wednesday would be in the top 6 in the PL as examples. So little ol’ Brighton which has a maximum take up on season tickets...

Looks like I’ll be sitting on my own then. :tantrum: We didn’t win the 1910 FA Charity Shield for nothing you know. I mean it was held at Stamford Bridge so we owe them a bit of tea and cake as a thank you.

I love Andy Naylor! He kindly let me and two other Albion fans share his taxi from Yeovil station to the pub nearest to the ground. He refused to take any payment. The only problem was we got to the pub just as it opened and I got rather pissed by kickoff time. Oh well. :drink: :lolol:

Blimey, if you want doom and gloom you should have been at the City Ground at around 2.30 on Saturday. Also, referring to your post would it be any different to any other club visiting the Amex. I was at the Chelsea game back in August 83 and the Spurs game in 1978. Yes, everything that went on...

You are having a larf, aren’t you?

Better still, why not Wembley? A good rehearsal for when we reach the semis and the final. :laugh:

Looking on the bright side it will soon be spring. :shrug: P.S. If, as you say, Chelsea have been given an allocation of 6,000 why would they want to be in the home ends? By the way, for FA Cup ties the away club is entitled to 15% of ground capacity - that’s 4,770 for the Amex. On the basis...

FFS! Give us a break. We all know you like to stir the pot and oh boy you‘ve been working on this recipe all night. We are all aware of the frailties at the moment so enjoy your moment in self gloating - it won’t last long.

I hope you’re right. In the back of my mind I have this default position that this is an inexperienced Premier League manager, coaching, in the main, a young inexperienced but promising set of players. Wasn’t it said many times at the start of the season that we’ll play attacking unorthodox...

At least we didn’t do the Palace fans reaction after losing 4-1 at the Amex last season. Their cuddly little ultra chavs shouting “Kill Roy! Kill Roy!” Be thankful for that I suppose.
