That Danny Baker quote

Buzzer · May 4, 2014

'Football. ****ing football. Imagine not being into it. Those poor, poor half-alive *******s.'

He's not wrong, is he?

I was thinking about that quote yesterday after the game, I really do feel sorry for them when they can't experience moments like that.

I can't think of another time in my life where I can be SO overjoyed in a single moment.

Never trust a man that doesn't like football.

Frutos · May 4, 2014

He's certainly not.

I'm maybe wrong here, but my over riding feeling yesterday once the euphoria had died down was one of "things like that don't happen to us". What happened yesterday was the sort of story you too often hear about happening to other clubs, not Brighton.

I remember turning to my dad in the King and Queen and saying "miracles really do happen"

My signature would tend to agree.

Yesterday was definitely a more extreme yo-yo situation, but Dean Wilkins goal against Ipswich in the 90th minute to put us into the 1991 play-offs at the expense of Barnsley was similar.

Also, the moment we scored at Hereford and the moment the game ended, although not for a play-offs place were more ecstatic than yesterday and 1991 put together.

That makes only 2 similar moments in 23 years, so it is fair to say you are right it doesn't happen to us often.

After the Blackpool game someone I know who had gone has a helper with a school party said to me they didn't understand why I would buy a season ticket if that was a typical game. It's hard to explain isn't it but that goal yesterday is why we put up with the less than satisfying fare served up 99% of the time.

I have that feeling when we play Palace but we've not done too badly otherwise. Hereford '97, Swindon '04, West Ham '05, Stockport '09. These moments come around only once or twice in a decade - I reckon we get our fair share.

After the game yesterday I wandered around Horsham town, and I remember looking at everyone I passed thinking: "You don't know, you just don't know something amazing has happened". I pity them

I don't have any close friends who don't like football and drinking.

You should have been walking arund Leigh on Sea. Or rather driving around it screaming out of the window as Ulloa netted ( we get radio Sussex as clear as a bell here) and seeing the bewildered looks from the divs of this parish.

Marvellous scenes...

2 hours on Brighton seafront today - not one Albion shirt or sign of an Albion fan (hungover?)

Can't believe I did. So that's three occasions in 23 years.

That image of Ulloa literally ROARING is superb.

He's not wrong Danny Baker.

They were all in the big Tesco at Holmbush. Two shirts and several training tops in about five minutes including a bloke who was slim but bald. My son said "is that Bruno?"
