[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea *** Official Match Thread ***

[Icy Gull]

The BBC sports channel raving about the performance and the atmosphere today! Surely we’ll be first up on MOTD tonight?

not seen March this half. must've blown a gasket carrying Cucurella around for 45 minutes.

I'm not surprised, he kept falling out of Solly's pocket

 

[Kosh]

Glorious.

I don’t think there’s been a sweeter result since we snatched a point in that epic 4-4 against Orient under Gritt - I was there, this...

Well, it was poetic justice.

Rock and roll football.

 

[Official Old Man]

MotM Solly March. Well deserved but to be honest given to him by an out of form, slow Cucurela.

Quote from the Shed End:

A "master tactician" Potter couldn't outplay his previous mid table team with better players at his disposal.

Lolz

 

[Eeyore]

What a day for me. My three teams are Albion, Aldershot Town and Whitehawk. All three won. Combined score 13-2

In a restaurant celebrating my in-laws 50th anniversary with my watch buzzing the updates. Wish I had been there but will remember it as if I had've been.

This better be Sky's match of the day.

To think how well Potter knows every one of our players. He and his entire backroom. To think he's trained them for three seasons and signed almost all of them. An absolutely staggering result.

Graham Potter and the First Half Rinse.

MotM Solly March. Well deserved but to be honest given to him by an out of form, slow Cucurela.

Cucurella not a great defender, boy did Solly have him looking silly today.

One of Solly's finest, also thought Gross, starting as a right back had a good game. And I wrote him off last season, good job I'm not in charge!

On boos from Brighton fans: "I have nothing to apologise or say sorry for. I think I did a good job at the club and left it in a good place but people are entitled to their opinions.

"It's part of the process. You have to suffer and feel pain in order to grow and get better. Nobody said we were the finished article. We have to take the pain today and learn from it."

 

[Originunknown]

Anyone else think the ref started giving every 50/50 tackle as a free kick to Chelsea in the last 15?

Yep, disgraceful but couldn't turn the tide.

Oh how I dont miss the Learn and grow comments. Lol

Potter on radio 5

"If Brighton could generate that atmosphere every home game they'd be a real force"

cheeky bastard

 

[The Fits]

He's got a great sense of humour. Seems a great bloke. Take that though Potter.

 

[Seaview Seagull]

I'm gutted. Woke up this morning with sore throat and tested positive for COVID! Missed the best game of season. Well done all!

Dunk and Webster always look incredibly formidable as a two. Wouldn't be surprised to see Veltman at RB rather than RCB when he is fit.

And De Zerbi prefers a back 4, think it was always matter of time before that became our default starting defence. If Estupinan plays like that every game, with Veltman back then that is a really formidable back 4.

He has plenty to apologise for, stripping the club of it’s entire coaching staff would be a start, shitting on Tony Bloom is another. Yes I am entitled to my opinion you arrogant fucker. It is what it is.

 

[The Fits]

Do we bother playing a striker again?

Is that an actual quote or satire? Genuinely can't tell.
