So nice to watch the highlights with a ManUre focused commentary...as their hope slowly fades after each goal 😎
Is that the one, where the commentators claim that United's early chance (Hojlund falls over in the box trying to reach a cross) would have been GOAL OF THE SEASON!?

Bizarre.

Well it may have passed you by, but we're quite good at turning rough diamonds into word beaters. Equally, don't be surprised if they're not all that when they leave (especially if they go to Chelsea).

What the Albion do very well is not overpay and just move onto other targets. If West Ham or whoever want to pay more for a player we want, and we walk away then that's fine with me.
In a roundabout way we are saying similar things. Happy to pay under 10m for an Ajax player. Nothing more.

Seagulls still flying in the market

Pound for pound, Brighton are one of the greatest teams in English football history. In the past 18 months, while enjoying unprecedented success, Brighton have made a profit of over £150m, and the starting XI that undressed Manchester United in their own fortress cost barely £20m. That’s less than Chelsea reportedly paid for Graham Potter, never mind any of Brighton’s players. It’s like watching a flyweight flatten a heavyweight – again and again and again. Brighton’s victory at Old Trafford was their 12th against a “big six” side in the last 18 months alone. They are defying logic, gravity and the culture of a league that burns money for a laugh. There have been shoestring success stories in the Premier League before, but never with a team that also plays football from the future. It can’t last for ever, so we should all appreciate – OK, Crystal Palace fans are exempt from this – a uniquely charming story. It will make a cracking book one day, especially if they finally reveal their transfer algorithm. Rob Smyth

He’s slower than he looks you mean ?
Yeah. It was like turning a barge in the centre of midfield, but was so technically perfect that the Manure just watched him in awe forgetting to close him down.

This is fascinating

His first point about Brighton is worth listening. The pass map is a thing of beauty.
