[BN41Albion]

Gonna be carnage today trains all screwed up. Club suggest fans make alternate arrangements. That should be interesting

Feel like I've made the right call not bothering with this game, especially as its against Burnley which are very rarely worth paying money to watch anyway

 

[Icy Gull]

Could we have a delayed kick off?

 

[Icy Gull]

Correct. As said before, we are the footballing equivalent of the AA.

“Has your season broken down? Not scored this year? Last won in Black & White? Then call the Seagull line and let’s get your team back on the road. We’ll get your firing again in no time. 3 points will be yours and we’ll even thrown in a free red card if your colours are claret and light blue…”

Whilst sitting comfortably in 9th in the PL. I knew GP was good but I’m now moving towards “Miracle man” as we continue to be the go to team to break non scoring stats, whilst having our best ever season

It reminds me of the saying 'you have a face for the radio'.
I imagine that would describe most Burnley games.

I seldom enjoy a Burnley match. Lots of big units dishing out dirty challenges and all marching up en masse for the inevitable goal scored from a corner. Can’t stand ‘em.

I do sort of admire Dyche though.

It's amazing how some are focusing on the negatives despite our position. See also Stat Brother's response to me on the Sean Dyche admiration thread.
Just weird.

We all know we’re pretty shite when it comes to beating teams in lower half or struggling. But raise out game against the best. It was only a well known general characteristic comment, no need to be so precious.

I went to school with someone like that - he's now a radio presenter...

But it’s NSC not the Teletubbies. Grab some gallows humour, you’ll need it when we’re back in L2 Of course we’ll lose to Burnley, precisely because we’re expected to beat them! It’s “The Brighton Way” and I’m not abandoning my defence mechanism that’s been the only way I’ve coped following the Albion for over 40 years now just because we’re in the era of toxic positivity. Anyway, I’m off to watch Non League today and have to say looking forward to immensely. Pouring Rain, Muddy pitch and no shelter. LOVE IT!

He's not been then.

It's always a crappy view when you watch Burnley.

‘All seven of ninth-place Brighton's Premier League wins this season were against teams currently below them in the table.’

Except you are so very wrong, all our wins this season have come against teams below us

As it happens I agree with you, I knew Ronaldo would score and I can see us losing today, my post was actually serious

Nothing wrong with that. The teams below us are there because teams like us beat them.

 

[Hendrax]

Brighton to Falmer trains running as normal though?

Duh, of course that’s now the case. Currently is a key word. I and others referring to general trend over the past…oh forget it. ‘‘Twas only what was commonly known observation amongst Albion fans until a few minutes ago it seems. The short memory brigade is out in force today seemingly along with pendants and fun sponges.

“Very wrong”

 

[Bodian]

In fairness the beer price down here must seem extortionate. But only because they live in a beer bubble it’s so cheap in Burnley, like the government is carrying out some social experiment. Meanwhile the rest of the country pays what’s known in economics as ‘market rate’

Last time I went to Burnley for a match about four or five years ago it was £1.80 a pint in town.

 

[Weststander]

The Albion are flying high, but the weather is shite.

What do you reckon the real attendance will be today, out of c. 31,800 seats?

 

[Gabbafella]

Hardly any fans on the bus, it's going to be a very low attendance today.
