Half time, well done Fergie and the team.

HT: Brighton 2-0 Southampton

A brace by Ferguson means Albion lead, 45 minutes to go til Europe, what a beautiful football team!

Easiest half of the season?

We have been good but they are seriously shit!

 

[OzMike]

Can wait to see Ronald's coverage.

 

[Zeberdi]

Playing this level of football, I can even see us taking points off Citeh - Brighton are beautiful to watch when we play well. It’s why we are 6th and why Saints are going down.

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Arrived and in ground!

Left Shoreham at 11.30am. Park and ride for me next time.

Is taking the bus to Old Steine and on to Falmer an option? Speaking as a tourist, of course, not a local.

Let's not let them back into this in any way. We need to do it today. Playing okay, but definitely look tired still, and quite a lot of wayward passes - and it can only get harder in the next two games. All about keeping our concentration now.

 

[The Fits]

Understandably nervy start, great second goal. Great to have Fergie back. Mitoma could've had a hattrick.
Great stuff all things considered.

Try Optus

I went to a very important league SiTe and got a perfect optus 'signal'

could be 4 or 5- 1 already . . .

This is putting the first smile on my face, this week. UTA!

 

[AlexBH]

I can’t believe the Southampton goalie has let the first goal go straight through him down the middle.

I think we were more dominant v Wolves, but point taken

Not the best that we've played all season and Mitoma's missed a sitter, but we're doing comfortably well enough to take all the points.

Relieved to see that Saints chance go past the post, but in truth that's why they're going down.

45 minutes away from history. And time to look for that passport.

 

[US Seagull]

Great first half, but job's not done yet. Need to not start celebrating. 45 minutes to go.

 

[Mustafa II]

Decent first half. Soton obviously poor. We do not look our best - clearly a lot of mental and physical fatigue lingering - a few too many mistakes.

Mitoma did great for the assist - he's still super confident on the ball, but seems to lack the confidence he once had to finish (could just be tiredness again).

Ferguson is an incredible finisher of the ball. He's the kind of striker we have been dreaming of for years now. Would love it if he got a hat-trick today.

Mac Allister and Caicedo barely put a foot wrong so far. They will be sorely, sorely missed.

Anyway, 2nd half, we can't take the foot off the pedal. A goal and they're back in it. Need to finish these off (with style).

 

[portlock seagull]

I did and then we scored, can I stay with you for a few months?

You can stay forever!!

We're good but not that good. Playing well but Citeh would have buried their 2 chances. They demolished Real Madrid a few days ago.

Doesn't take away from the fact that we're f-ing brilliant.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Good stuff so far. A tonking on the cards?
Would like to see some of the other kids (Ayari, Facu, Moran and Peupion) getting some game time if poss.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

We look well on top. It'd be fantastic if the second half could be as comfortable as the first.

Would be nice if the crowd could get a bit of atmosphere going, it sounds pretty flat on my stream. We're 45 minutes from history lads and lasses...
