[Football] What a team

[amexer]

WE have in 2 weeks outplayed Spurs and Chelsea away. Unbelievable Brilliant

 

[Stat Brother]

I genuinely don't believe there's a team in world football (palace aside) who could have lived with the first 30 minutes of the second half.

Quite how that could have been better than the first half is anybody's guess.

Julio Enciso seals Brighton fightback to pile more misery on Chelsea

Brighton fought back to beat Chelsea 2-1, with goals from Danny Welbeck and Julio Enciso consigning Frank Lampard’s side to another defeat

Lovely report

Yup. Wonder if Potter watched that? My guess is he went out to walk the dog whilst sobbing quietly into his glow up beard.

He got rich, generations of 'It Is What It Is''s will go to public schools, fly first class, stay in 7* hotels.

But. He deserted the best owner and CEO in football. Fact.

 

[cjd]

I have to say, that after that performance today against Chelsea, Mr. Potter has royally f***ed over Chelsea. The dunce of all dunces could not have done better there.

It is lovely.
I particularly like the way he shoved the apparently Guardian mandated Jeremy Clarkson c. 2005 simile into an entirely separate final paragraph.
I know most of them write like that to obscure their lack of actual understanding, but Wilson does seem to know what he's going on about.

But. He deserted the best owner and CEO in football. Fact.

And a better football team than the one he went to manage.

S

Simply incredible football this afternoon.

There was one side who looked like they belonged in the Champions League quarter-finals with Real Madrid, and it wasn't the one that actually is.

Still be on 4th on MOTD...

 

[Guinness Boy]

I doubt it. Last thing I heard he was in the Maldives or somewhere.

Would you not go ruining my images of post modern misery with actual FACTS?

Plodder will doubtless be thinking "Hey maybe I'm not that mediocre after all". He'd be wrong tho

The first half domination will be used in coaching sessions in years to come

It is indeed.

It's our Golden year.
Enjoy it whilst we can

 

[Beanstalk]

In fairness he stitched you right up there, so well done for sticking with it since.

Grew up about 20 mins from Arsenal who were just about to win their first title under Wenger as well so he really did me dirty. Don’t regret it for a second (and never have).

Jonathan Wilson is one of the finest football journalists out there.

He wrote 'Inverting the Pyramid' which is a history of football tactics and is an excellent book.

I also really enjoyed his mammoth history of Argentinian football 'Angels With Dirty Faces', which I hope gets an updated edition including our very own AliMac.

Brighton and Hove Albion are best in the world, says Pep Guardiola …

Brighton and Hove Albion are the best side in the world ... at playing out from the back. That's the verdict of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola who was speaking at a pre-match press conference before his team take on Leicester City. Guardiola said: "The best team at making the build up in the...

I'm not always the biggest fan of his match reports, but today's was good.
I choose to believe this is entirely unrelated to the fact that we won, and is purely a reflection of the quality of the article.

We have outplayed Liverpool too this season. We'll have a game against Arsenal, have two games agaist Man U and one or two games against Man C (including FA Cup Final). So, we might be able to outplay all of EPL's top 6 clubs this season

Now I feel Brighton can defeat Real Madrid

While watching the stream with family I said "this is like Halifax vs Barcelona". And meant it too. Pure class.
