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

[Ethelwulf]

It’s not clear we do - Brentford’s are definitely kinder but Bournemouth and Fulham could end up winning as many or fewer points than us

Liverpool at home will be very tough wolves are in great form the best in the league and Spurs
Will playing for the starting line up in europa final I hate to say it but I think we will finish 10th or 11th which will still be on of our best league finishes in our history

 

[Hugo Rune]

Great result for Pawson. f***ing helmet.

When he returns to his dressing room, they'll be a message on his phone from Attwell similar to this:

 

[Eeyore]

I'm not available as the ref's defence lawyer today. I'm washing my hair...

That said, the reason why Albion didn't do owt today was nothing to do with the ref. They were just too poor for long periods.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Not disheartened by that really. A draw was a fair result - and apart from one moment of sheer madness from Ayari I felt that our defending was a notch above recent months. Definitely fought well, and stuck to it.

I think Dan Burn in front of him distracted and grabbed him sufficiently that when he looked up the ball had already been struck and he just instinctively reacted

 

[TomandJerry]

Can't be worse than Mike Dean, Shirley?

 

[British Bulldog]

Good point well earned.

Look at our fixture list, then Brentford's and then look at our coparative GD.

It would simply be a mammoth task to finish above them.

Of course we have a chance but I rate it about 10% or lower.

If Brentford had lost today our chances would be much better.

Liverpool are rotating heavily in these final games by Slot’s own admission - and have nothing to play for now - and Spurs will face us days after the UEL final which is advantageous for us whether they win or lose. I don’t disagree that Wolves away will be difficult.

 

[Freddo]

The Spurs game is 4 days after the Europa final

[SeagullDubai]

Not enough of a contribution from Adringa and Welbeck going

Tbf, he'd been on about 30 seconds

Oh that’s alright then

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Very wrong,Dear Friend, very wrong

Were draw(ered)

 

[aolstudios]

Not a great introduction to the game from Ayari or Gomez but point is probably fair. We did nothing second half and tried to hold on and did fairly well until the handball

Earlier might've been an idea

Spurs play their final four days before , I think?

Good point.

Hardest game of last 4 as Newcastle have a lot to play for. They’ll be disappointed to leave with a point.

Other 3 teams we play have nothing to play for. Not that it means they’ll be easy games.

 

[tstanbur]

Maybe he should get his cards out for Newcastle, he was very quick to book Wieffer

He got 900 things wrong today but that wasn’t one of them.

Wieffer grabbed the ball to delay the restart = yellow.

I did explicitly say Brentford’s run in is kinder but OK - in any case, until they’re out of sight, I’m not busting out the beach towel and sunscreen

 

[fruitnveg]

Ref needs relegating, that was absolutely shambolic

 

[Hamilton]

I thought we played okay today. We were playing a Champions League positioned team who have won a cup final. I don’t think I’ll be criticizing that team performance today. Well played lads. Unlucky.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Bloody hell.

We nearly got away with that, even with the ref having an absolute shocker and giving every possible thing he could to the geordies.

God knows what Ayari was thinking for the p.k. Bart must be gutted, he made an absolute worldy of a save form the free kick only for that stupid hand ball.

At least we didn't lose and the European dream is still just about alive. We'll probably need 7 points from the last three games, maybe 9...

 

[Algernon]

Tbf, he'd been on about 30 seconds

He gets paid ££££££££££££££££££.
He could've let it smack him in the face from 3 yards out and I reckon it would've gone in.
Shocking.

 

[aolstudios]

Oh that’s alright then

Of course not.
Just would rather it fell to someone else
