Good post and interesting to see that table. Makes me pretty proud to see that!
Anyway, that goal feels done to me, in as much as for the last 3 or 4 seasons, I’ve been looking at how we achieve Europe, not nervously down at how we escape relegation. And I’m normally an Eeyore, not a Tigger...
He gets us out of our seats with the direct way he attacks and, of course, he smashes in a couple of worldies every season but he has two things in the debit column (inconsistency and selfishness) and, to be brutally honest, we have better.
Anywhere close to 40m Euros would be brilliant...
An against the run of play opener from B.Johnson (21) followed by a B.Gruda equaliser (27). HT 1-1.
B.Gruda gives Albion the lead (53) before K.Mitoma confirms the result (62). The last half hour becoming a dull and pointless training session.
Spurs 1 Albion 3.
Couple of value bets that stand out for me:
1. Albion to win the second half (20/21) which I would say is a given, bearing mind the Spuds players will surely run out of steam.
2. Gruda is 11/1 for first or last goal. Seems the bookies don’t get everything right because Harry H and Solly are both...
Thanks and cheerio, Joao, especially for that Marseille goal. Not that bothered because I think we will be well stocked in his position(s) next season. Hope - and expect - we get top dollar for him.
Just catching up with this season’s thread. Tremendous work, all. I’m still very much missing my playing days but a metal knee has me cooked for good.
GL to all you active players/relations of active players and keep up the reporting, regardless of standard!
Ignoring the chorus of “meh” here (!), I’m going and taking my boxing mad 20 year old son. And I’m buzzing. Strong undercard and, whatever the merits of JR and Conor as boxers are, there’s genuine animus there.
Unoriginal, unambitious and, frankly, unexciting prediction:
Blue Moon 1 (Foden because he always bloody scores against us)
Blue and White Army 1 (Dat Guy)
Brighton and Hove Albion 2 (Minteh freshness; Hinshelwoodifhecouldandhedid)
Fulham 0
Yep, it’s happening, we are finally going to beat Fulham in the Prem.
