[Albion] Joao Pedro Suspension - 13 points from 15

[Greg Bobkin]

I think Hinsh should have taken it. Warren was NOT happy about that.

The guy who missed in the cup game? Nah.

 

[London Irish]

Half were penalties. 10 goals from open play across 2 seasons. Maupay figures

Here we go - penalties don’t count in winning games apparently

 

[Si Gull]

With the game still in the balance we shouldn’t have been giving penalties to other people just for personal milestones. If it had been 3-1 in injury time then maybe

Agreed. Pens should be taken by the preferred penalty taker, there's no time for sentimentality when building a winning mentality within the team.

My son told me that he saw JP driving his fancy car around Withdean yesterday, supposedly he took over Glenn Murray’s house there (don’t hold me to that rumour). But if it’s true I’m gutted to lose him from my neighbourhood, often used to see Glenn walking his dog and in the little parade of shops with the nice Chinese takeaway. Hopefully JP passes house on to another player

 

[METALMICKY]

Will he get booed whilst playing for Chelsea against us at the Amex next season?

Booing might be too strong. Massive indifference seems fair. Unless of course more details of the bust up emerge and don't look good. In that case my booing muscles will tested for Chelsea!

You keep pedalling this Maupay thing.

How many assists did Maupay get in two seasons? How many of those penalties would Maupay have won like Joao Pedro did? How many goals did Maupay get in cups and Europe like Joao Pedro?

To try and compare the two players is just a fuckin joke.

Whilst he's a skillful player, he's not a team player nor a BHA club type . . . . NDP lines have been crossed.

I hope we make a good profit and I don't care if we don't see him again.

so much young talent with the right attitude rising Up. . . .

 

[Chicken Run]

We don’t have to stick the knife into him. He’s been a great player for us coming from Championship level and if he goes now, I’ll wish him all the best

I hope Glenn gives him all his deposit back

 

[chaileyjem]

Incredibly Brighton have now missed 1 penalty in three seasons.
And that was against Villa last season when Pedro headed the rebound.
They've effectively scored 26 in a row. 26 !!!

All well and good Jem, but apparently penalties don't count as goals

That is just bollocks. Hate this rewriting of history to fit an agenda.

He has always given everything for the team when on the pitch. He was made captain earlier this season because, in the manager’s own words, he’s a role model to the other players.

And stop the NDP rubbish, it doesn’t exist! We’ve had plenty of dick heads and more issues than most clubs when it comes to players wanting away!

 

[Zeberdi]

Yes, Mitoma is one word.

My Harry, are you on the slosh or just feeling end of season belligerence (born from anticipation of a long, boring summer ahead with no football obviously)

I was going to say, every time I watch him he’s putting himself absolutely in the thick of things. He’s often the trigger point for our press, and often the out ball when we’re struggling to keep hold of it.

I don’t personally see him as a 9 and I don’t personally think he’s looked comfortable there for much of the season, but he’s tried as hard as anyone in most of the games I’ve seen.

Agree. He's been excellent and grown into a leader for us. Having said that, if he left for good money I wouldn't be too upset as it happens. He's done his bit, given great memories and goes with my (irrelevant) blessing.

If Mitoma leaves, I'm crying

 

[Beanstalk]

He’s scored ten goals this season, that speaks for itself. If he goes, we’re going to have to compensate for that from somewhere. That’s really all there is to it

Big goals as well. Just this season; Fulham winner, United winner, City goal and assist for the win, same at Bournemouth, clearly the best player on the pitch at Arsenal and scored the equaliser.

16 goal contributions from a 23 year old is pretty fantastic in this league for a team finishing outside the top 7. He’s operating above most in terms of goal contributions per game and just under the level of Palmer this season (JP = 0.59 gcpg, CP = 0.64 gcpg).

Lightweight! What's wrong with harakiri to really show your pain?

 

[SkirlieWirlie]

I think Hinsh should have taken it. Warren was NOT happy about that.

I'd agree. If O'Riley had missed. But he didn't. A brilliantly taken penalty in the end.

It's all opinions . . . . And your first sentence is testicolos grande in mine.

given everything = tries too hard to do it alone = selfish = not a team player. That's been this seasons progression.

he has been brilliant on many occasions, but in the last 6 months has got a bit too cocky, and a liability, finally getting sent off . . .

as for the NDP . . . . . I have a copy, with Tonys wax seal on the bottom corner. You can stick it in your pipe and smoke it if you like.

The NDP doesn’t exist. It’s propaganda for the gullible. I’m not into slagging off players pointlessly as I don’t believe professional football should be limited to choirboys and middle management trainees. But even in our EPL era you could create a pretty boss Albion team of known “dickheads” who would entertain and win for us superbly. People who don’t think we have had a load of prima donnas and stroppy misfits through our doors in recent years haven’t been paying attention. And we will continue to have those players for ever more because every club does!

Bored with negative Natalies, moaning Minnies and whiney Wendies.

Oh Mitoma wins MOTD goal of the season.
