[Albion] We dont chant Chris Hughton's name enough

chimneys · Feb 12, 2018

......................... according to Garth Crooks:

"What I don't understand is why they don't chant Chris Hughton's name during their games more. I really don't get it. If fans don't chant the manager's name every now and then, how do you think he feels?"

I think he knows we love him.

It's the 14th Wednesday send him a card

Crooks obviously didn't see the half time send-off on Saturday.

It must be very difficult to hear if you only go to one game per season and your name is Garth Crooks. But maybe somebody should tell him that "Chrissy Hughton's blue and white army" contains the name of Chrissy Hughton and is sung at every(?) Brighton and Hove Albion match.

To be fair to the Fat Lad he did put two Brighton Players in his Team of the Week...

RandyWanger · Feb 12, 2018

Other than that, quite complimentary of us.

Cos we're all shite scare of the raging psychopath.

Those lovable roguish East End types didn't spend their Saturday afternoons singing:-

'One Reggie Kray, there's only one Reggie Kray'

for a very good reason, the same principle applies.

I continue to love Garth, his final summary re Mat Ryan using words like devoid, petulance, heroism and portrayed all in one sentence... my hero.

Rock on Garth.

I will chant Chris Hughton more at games.

This is some of what he said ... without having to click on the link:
Brighton now look odds-on to stay up. However, I hope they don't just become perennial survivors. It's a great place to go and watch a football match. On the odd occasion I do go, I notice their fans are capable of creating a great atmosphere. What I don't understand is why they don't chant Chris Hughton's name during their games more. I really don't get it. If fans don't chant the manager's name every now and then, how do you think he feels?

And Ryan and Izquierdo in his team of the week. Not bad.

We are no doubt just following Chris' wishes as he will want any credit going to the team rather than himself

Bodian · Feb 12, 2018

Isn't it because his tactics are too negative and we're all bored with watching his teams! After all, he's just keeping the manager's seat warm until we get Pardew in, so why would we bother singing about him??

I always thought that GC was a pompous arse. Good summary with some positive comments about our players and performances.
He’s still a pompous arse.

Official Old Man · Feb 12, 2018

Early leaver for his free half time bevvy otherwise he would have heard the 5 minutes of chanting. It's a long walk from the bench to the exit and CH punched 4 stewards, swore at a copper, pushed a wheelchair on to the pitch and kicked a little kid who asked for his jacket, all the time clapping the away fans who were singing his name.

It seems a strange criticism of Brighton fans, when, as you say, it's chanted at every match.

CorgiRegisteredFriend · Feb 12, 2018

Have often thought he needed a song, something quite simple along the lines of Mark McGhee and his pints of whiskey. Maybe the fa cup match on Saturday could be the start of something new. Having said that I don’t think he’s that bothered and is happy being the quiet calm manager that we all worship.

Although 'Chrissy Hughton' is a bit shite.

As Corgi suggests something bespoke, that rhymes, and has Chris' actual name would probably be sung considerably more.

I must say, when I first read it, I was wondering if he was hinting at some kind of racist undertone. Completely misplaced if so Garth.

Surf's Up · Feb 12, 2018

A song for the man, to the well known tune of Daydream Believer.........

Sit down Chrissie Hughton
You're gonna drive us mad
With your pitch side celebrations
The best we ever had........

repeat ad nauseam

or, for the last line...

You're crazy, mad and bad.....
