[Albion] Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[lawros left foot]

What is Scholeschar going on about in that press release? I've read some incoherent rubbish in my time....

I thought Das Reich was on your ignore list.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I'm excited for this one. A very rare realistic chance of beating Man utd and moving into fifth in the top flight.

Which probably means we'll get a good hiding.

that should say very rare chance of beating man u at old trafford AND moving into fifth.

 

[Beach Hut]

Gone past the Tesco's at Watford yet, I'll at you

Too late, approaching the Keynes

Precisely.

We've been here far too many times before, during this current Premier League incarnation.

Arriving at a 'top 6' ground, in good form.
Potentially even the better form of both sides.

Only to be rather humbled through tactics or ruthlessness.


I fear that's coming today, which personally probably isn't a bad thing.
After our 3rd consecutive home win if I thought we'd school Utd today I'd be a hyperventilating mess by now and would probably end up missing the game.

I will stay up for the first half, but have to be up at 6 am, so will miss the second.
So, 3 goals up in the first half please so that I can wake up to a 2 - 3 scoreline in the morning.

 

[Triggaaar]

Would like to see the Albion 0-2 up with renditions of “Teeeeeeaaaaams liiiiiiike briiiigggghhhhttttton” to the tune of play up Pompey, as the camera zooms into a troubled looking Ed Woodward in the stands

If we're winning away at Man U, the last thing I want to see is the equaliser.

If we're 3 up, I don't see how you'd be able to fall asleep. Go to bed early and get up as the second half is about to start. If we're getting stuffed, just go back to sleep. If not, you can watch the important half.

 

[GT49er]

Would love a win, but would settle for a draw now if offered!

oh very good

Will have to be up for a long time before work starts !
The 3 goals up comment was tongue in cheek, I think we we will lose 2 - 1, after a spirited performance.

 

[Frankie]

Moss the dross referee doesn't fill me with joy, definitely a big team homer so we'll have to win by 2 clear goals.

 

[GoingUp]

Annoying this is not on TV. Im going to have to rely on updates.

 

[Brok]

Lovely crisp, bright, dry day up here, and for those driving up, the roads seem pretty quiet.

Going to bed now, but will watch the first half in the morning.

The shit bit will be checking the final result after the drive to work.

 

[Triggaaar]

oh very good

I don't want to do myself down, but I doubt I've ever come up with better.

 

[portslade seagull]

Grrrr Mrs PS is dragging me out to lunch with friends who don't like football .... heathens .... will have to keep updated via mobile

 

[Muzzman]

Moss the dross referee doesn't fill me with joy, definitely a big team homer so we'll have to win by 2 clear goals.

Agreed. He always finds himself struggling to keep up with the action. He'll be huffing and puffing after 5 mins trying to chase Trossard around... assuming he starts.

 

[Dick Head]

So excited (just leaving Euston)

Or not, train has a problem not left Euston yet....now we are moving

were loose

 

[Swansman]

While I think Brighton is overall the better team in a long row of aspects, I fear Daniel James might have a very fun day against a defense that could be described as "not that ****ing quick". The fact that he got a year of Potterball in him, he probably have a lot of tactical inside information that could turn quite costly. I think United more than any team will be trying some extremely aggressive high pressure the first 20 minutes or so. If we can survive that part without conceding, I think a win is likely.
