[Albion] Opening paragraph of Guardian match report
- Thread starter bhafc99
- Start date
'but the smattering of boos in the ground at full-time belied a fanbase whose expectations have been raised by the champagne football of recent months. Not all of them, you suspect, were there for the Withdean and the Goldstone years'
I wasn’t there yesterday, ergo I didn’t boo. But had I been there, I wouldn’t have boo’d. I’d probably have just muttered “FFS” (increasingly, my default response to most things these days) and rued the £100+ I’d just spent on day out for me and the kids to watch a 0-0 in which we pissed away chance after chance. Again.
Having said that, I was at the Goldstone and Withdean regularly - but that doesn’t mean I should have my expectations of our current crop of multi- millionaire international footballers forever calibrated at division 3 & 4 levels, no matter what some bloke at the Guardian thinks.

While 200 000 kr per week would be less than 200 000 £ per week, it would still be very nice...
They seem to be forgetting that we did play at this level at the Goldstone and probably scored more goals too!

In that case why let Zeqiri go out on loan?
Sugar wasn't a fan. His was a business venture. And the expectation at Spurs was to repeat the great double winning feat. No chance.

Or…..
How dare little old Brighton fans dare to want to challenge the football establishment, don’t they know their place?
I think we’re trying to get by until we have a ‘grow your own’ product……

Does the article mention Joe Linton is shite, who would you sign and happy to spend someone else’s moneyIf not I’m out.
Outta here? Good idea
Indeed. I've said before I find most sport coverage in papers dull as ditchwater but The Guardian gets it right.
Yes, quite.
And why must we always hark back to that game at Gillingham against Darlington? We have fans who go home and away, can legally drink and illegally shove their noses full of hooter who weren’t even born that day. Move on FFS.

OK. I'm going to support Chelsea because I think they are the best team in Europe and are bound to win something this season.

Buying your Burberry as we speak no doubt
The team were also booed off following a draw despite winning at Anfield in the league under the same manager.
Looking into streaming GB TV, and voting for Boris, but only if he can guarantee he'll win, or I'm out. Tomorrow belongs to me.
Sorry but Division One was not a patch on this league.

You can still support Brighton without mentioning something that happened before our "yoof" were born every five mins.
A lot of the fans that went to Villa on my train last week wouldn't be able to find Gillingham on a map.
In 1979 we went up to the top division and used to get 30k crowds as well. Earlier that decade we were getting MAHOOSIVE crowds in Divisions Two and Three, taking massive Derby to a replay in the League Cup and attracting Brian Clough as a manager.
Which bit of our history should we stop at? Or should we accept we've been both slightly massive and massively slight?

Finally. Do us all a favour. You can spout all of your Internet forum, grammar police, patronising nonsense on the yutes of SW London.

You keep saying this although you can largely bet the Nunez deal would smash the wage bracket & transfer fee if it ever happens.
