Yeah, heard that Knockaert was good although haven't watched him yet. Is he a traditional speedy winger?

He's certainly a game changer if he's on fire. Yes, he's fast with amazingly quick feet when he has the ball. Hopefully not telling you our secrets, watch out for Solly March if he's selected, he just gets better and better.

Cant wait for the season to start for us this Saturday, I know we have a fantastic squad. But i will be even more excited if i see Foden and Diaz on the bench if reports coming out are set to be true

Not going to try and name the starting 11 because we have so many options - Just want a nice win to start us on our way to lifting the title this season . The pre-season friendlies have shown us a glimpse of what we can expect this year and it bolds well

I can't see football fans doing this. Concourse beer is normally bad and the flow is always straight out with perhaps a quick stop in the gents if needs be.

Arsenal fans says it is easier getting out of the Emirates for the trains and might even be quicker getting back to Brighton. Concourse beer is too soapy for my taste. Beer and food is also available outside the ground before the game between the train station and the north and east entrances. This looks edible but there are queues.

Bridge Car Park B is a mile away from the ground, not five minutes unless you are Hicham El Guerrouj.

Not wishing to sound smug about this, but Brighton have got this right. The concourses are big, bright and wide as opposed to the Black Hole of Calcutta jobs that most clubs have. Apart from the bog standard lagers and ciders (Fosters, Kronenbourg, Strongbow), also on offer are Harveys beers (local Lewes brewery) and a guest ale. The proof of the pudding? The record number of pints served on a match day is 41,000!! Not bad for a 30,000 seater stadium. Anyway,give it a go and see what you think.

I ain't going. Holts pub for me. I understand going to the supporters club / clubhouse afterwards as I've done that many times in the lower and non leagues; but 41,000 isn't that much for two before the match and one at half time.
 
I think we'll see.

Thanks Mate, how do you expect your team to line up and who should we be looking out for?

Brighton played 4-4-1-1 against Atletico. Two banks of four in the traditional rigid style.

Star players. Bruno (RB) older then the ref, Knockaert (RW), Dunk (CB). Brighton went up because of the overall strength of the squad rather individual stars. Six first team squad players to come back after long term (most of last season) injuries, notably Solly March and Liam Rosenior. I was going to say Beram Kayal as well, but he has broken his leg.

The old fashioned way to counter two banks of four is 4-3-3. Under Oscar Gracia Brighton were masters at exploiting three at the back, but Chris Hughton never faced it in the Championship.
 
Looking strong with nearly.a full squad available.

Cannot evem predict the team, but expect.us to win.

More importantly what time in the afternoon is some well lubricated city fan of a more beer barrel figure is gonna get stuck on this

It's very difficult second guessing Pep teams but my guess is he will go 3-5-2. Three cb's and two wing backs, Yaya, KDB and Dave with Aguero Jesus/Stirling in front of them. Hope it's a great advert for football and you guys have a real go at us. Too many teams park the bus and try and hit on the break. I suspect that won't work as easily against us this season as we have pace everywhere. Good luck for this season.
 
So; what time will we concede the regulation soft goal then? I'll go for somewhere between minutes 27 and 42 in the first half.



Sorry; last season's habits die hard!
