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

[Quebec Seagull]

Commentator saying towards the end that he thought we were a top 4 club this season and deserved/belonged in the Champions League. Pointed out the erroneous VAR decisions, injuries and match congestion as the reasons for us dropping the necessary points. Nice to hear!

During THAT Wigan game, I remembered posting just to say I was there during one of the greatest days in our club's history.

6 years later, I am honoured to say this... this post is a reminder that I was here, the day Albion qualified for European football and obtained our highest ever finish for the first time halcyon days indeed as an Albion fan.

Victory for Brighton - and European football is theirs!
Jubilant scenes in the crowd, as the players embrace on the pitch.
A huge achievement for the club. Yes, the Seagulls are going on a European tour!

Well done to those at the AMEX.
You made us proud.

Nice to hear but not quite... not yet

Sweet Caroline playing at the Amex.... Happy Happy days. A historic season!
Today was a calm professional performance- job done...
With the goal achieved we may not get any more points.... but We ARE in EUROPE !

 

[Weststander]

Phew.

No “f*** VAR” today.

Bloody hay fever, my eye’s are watery.

Job done., Europa League it is.
Nighty night, just woke wifey up and she is not happy, hehe.

Leave the poor girl alone

 

[SuperFurrySeagull]

So proud

Amazing season, what a team, manager and owner. What a club BHA have become.

Well only just after mid-day here and it's the granddaughter's birthday that we are celebrating at a country club.
I might have a couple of drinks and give it large to the Flamengo and Palmeiras supporters present who told me they couldn't support a small club like Brighton

 

[Brian Potter]

I am beyond happy at the moment. So many years of struggle, shit football, ground sharing, squatting at a shitty little athletics stadium. And now we find ourselves here, with European competition to come next season. So f***ing proud.

Agree re: CL. Team are still a bit too diamond-in-the-rough-y to succeed at that level.

Definitely one of those big Albion life moments that will be looked back on with ever-increasing fondness and appreciation in years to come.

One for the youngsters who missed out on 1983 and 1997 to remember and claim as their own.

And in turn, one for them to tell their children and grandchildren about in the future.

"I remember the day when Albion got into Europe for the first time..."

There you go, dad, and don't forget to pay St. Peter on the gate. See you (not too, I hope) soon. x

It's all a bit surreal

AND f***ing GREAT!

I tested my passport last weekend, thankfully it still works.

When they equalised the emotions were something else. Thank god for VAR. at that point it was emergency measures. On the opening day of the season my daughter and I were walking in Aviemore and she found a pebble by a Loch she wanted to keep. I put it in my pocket and forget about it. Later that day I watched us beat Man United and decided it was lucky. I have kept it hidden away until this afternoon when we most needed it. I am claiming full credit for the win.

Well, something had to put a downer on the day!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

What an incredible, unbelievable, achievement. Europe!

Brighton in Europe!

Apart from in my very youngest years supporting the Albion I've never thought I'd see the day. De Zerbi and the players...
