[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United *** Official Match Thread ***

[Gabbiano]

Concerned that after two tight and fairly lucky wins over the Geordies this season, they'll have turned up really up for this, meanwhile we have been so poor defensively recently and half the attack is injured.

An optimistic 2-2 is my prediction, but Brentford will beat Man U and overtake us.

 

[swindonseagull]

Likely to be a few more empty seats at KO than normal, as the EDF buses are taken the slowest possible route via the A27.

We got to EDF at 1, and should have been there between 1.30-40, but now we're on the stupid route it's saying 1.50 and getting later.

FFS.

So you arrrive at public parking a few miles away an hour before kick off, knowing there is roadworks on the A27 and you blame the bus which probably has to stick to a defined route.
Unbelievable Jeff!!!

 

[jcdenton08]

No Joelinton for them is a good thing but they have so many quality players who can hurt us

 

[dolphins]

Half an hour into the Sky coverage of the game and no Brighton so far, apart from Smug Eddie being interviewed pitch side. Loads on Chelsea, and a similar amount on Liverpool. Sigh.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Adingra. Hmm.

If he carries on as he started the second half against West Ham it'll be fine. It's the first half Adingra that worries me.

Good sign for us then. Written off already is perfect for us.

 

[slimes]

Great to see Harry Howell on the subs bench!

It could have taken 3 different routes, but has taken the most stupid one possible.

We'll miss KO now, but yes it's my fault for assuming anyone in charge has a brain.

PBOBE will be wondering why takings are down and so many seats are empty with the exchange open.

Agreed, I wanted him subbed at half time, in the second half he looked our most threatening player for the first 20 mins.

Anyway if we turn up and compete with some obvious structure I’ll take whatever happens and TRY not to have a match day moan from my sofa in France

Filling a 1901 lounge with Newcastle fans will not endear him to the premium season ticket holders. I am told the WSL lounge has a raft of them in there.

I bet it's warmer in France.

 

[boik]

Adingra has had a terrible season, is it not fair that people don’t want him on the pitch in light of this?

You're right. Apart from a few moments, he's been poor. But surely we should be encouraging him to come good rather than just saying how crap he is.

 

[Flounce]

I bet it's warmer in France.

Thunderstorm incoming. Pray for me that the electricity doesn’t cut out for me. It is quite warm though

Is it cold at the Amex?

How have Newcastle fans managed to get into a 1901 lounge?

 

[lawros left foot]

I want us to stop conceding at least two goals a game. We have two right backs on the bench. I want to see one of the start.

If they are fit enough to be on the bench for the last two games one of them must be fit enough to start.

It absolutely inexplicable that he can look at our defence performance in the last few weeks and think he doesn’t need to do something different.

The 2 goals we conceded against West Ham came down the left
T, not the right, where our first choice left back was playing.

Just saying.

Anyone see where Verbruggen went, was involved in the warm up but disappeared?

Any reason you didn’t go and tell the driver there was a quicker route??

Thought not!!!!

Ps sunny but chilly at the Amex

Corporate hospitality. Sold to us as a premium supporters lounge but times have changed

 

[maltaseagull]

Wow. Lot of hate for Simon. I thought us supporters were supposed to, you know, support our players?

Some on NSC have to have a target for attacking a player for some reason.

Munich?
