Brighton (A) - Thu 25th April, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

A boring, drama-free 1-0

If it's 1-0, it won't be "drama free", personally I'd prefer a drama free 3-0 ;-)

 

[skillman]

Don't think Pep will insult Alvarez this badly however out of form he has been. Think maybe Doku drops out and Foden/Grealish are the wingers.

Agreed, sadly.

3-0 forfeit after Brighton have their 5th man sent off in the 8th minute.

Rest and go again on Sunday. :-:

Don't know if you're going to be stood on the south stand at The Amex this evening ... but if you are, probably best not to make homophobic comments or gestures. You don't want to be getting yourself a FBO.

I wouldn't want to cause any offence to anyone, it was just a shit joke.
Far far worse things in life but i do take your point and deleted my post.

nobody cares about city and yet everyone wants arsenal to win the league now, man united and liverpool fans included. they can’t stop talking about that little, irrelevant club hahahaha.

i don’t care who plays, don’t care if it’s a beautiful or fugly performance, 3 points, nothing else matters.

I can assure you that Tottenham fans don't want Arsenal to win the league. What's up next. A trip to Spurs. We'll drop points there and win the other 3 games I reckon.

Please be 4 up after 20 minutes lol

 

[supercity88]

The bitterness is hilarious

Doing it for clicks but a bit ridiculous. They're a club who used to have about 200 people turn up, most of whom supported the dippers and rags. They're yet another well run club that ends up making a couple of bad decisions and being not so well run and down in the championship again.

Southampton were an excellently run club with an excellent strategy not too long ago.

 

[blue aura]

Looking forward to this. One things for sure, I won't politely clap if albion score a screamer like last season.

Come on City 3-1

Dan Ashworth was poached from Brighton, he’s now done the same by shitting on Newcastle to join the Rags but for some reason The hatred is reserved for our club despite never doing anything to hamper their progress, weird.

Believe me, our hatred is aimed full on at Chelsea. Oh did we laugh when they came to The Amex last season for our first game with them after Potter & Co had gone to Stamford Bridge. We beat them 4-1 and ended up doing the double against them. And then they paid us a fortune for Caicedo ... and then bought Sanchez from us.

I'm sure most Brighton fans (certainly myself anyway) would love you to smash United in the Cup Final. We should have played you in the final last year but somehow United scraped a 0-0 and beat us on pens. I had to walk past their end after the game to get my coach. Not a fun experience, their behaviour was disgraceful - getting right in the faces of young and old scarfers.

[Blue Til Death]

Today is really dragging , come on 8pm !

At this stage of the season that’s like wanting a dental appointment to come on :-(

 

[Crooked_rain]

I would have left Vikingo on the bench for this were he fit.

We've played better without him !!

Let's not forget his goals vs Everton and Brentford not so long ago dragged us to victories in games where none of our other players were looking like they could hit a barn door. He saved us dropping points much more than he's cost us points.

He's still by far the best goalscorer we have and has been the difference maker many times. we should never underestimate or under appreciate the importance of that.

Either way, we should be able to beat this Brighton team with or without him, so no excuses. Big game.

Ha, indeed

 

[its a Barm]

It's now are biggest game of the season only the 3 points matter.

 

[Silva2021]

No mate, that was the Real Madrid game.

Exactly that was, this is!!

hahah yeah they hate you very much. is that the biggest london rivalry or?

 

[chickaroon]

We also played better with him in the team more times than we hadn't.

Erling would have been perfect for tonight. Brighton hold a high line. Kev would have found him in behind. Maybe Doku can do that for us.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Dick Veins kit tonight?
