Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[Marvin]

Yeah, that’s great, but do you want City drawing with Brighton and at draw going on at Klanfield at the same time heading into injury time???

Given the number of goals opposition keepers have virtually thrown into the net for them in the last minutes of games, it’s cardiac time if ANYTHING other than a two goal positive City score line is going on as the games draw to an end...unless Liverpool are down by two!!!

I'd settle for a 1 goal lead with 10 minutes to go. I am expecting a very difficult game at Brighton. We knocked them out of the FA Cup semi-final after all and they are a side which usually plays very defensively. They got dragged into a relegation battle but typically have been difficult for sides to break down.

Now they are safe, they might open up a bit. They were certainly a bit more positive against Arsenal than they have been for a while. They'll want to sign off the season at home with a win if they can.

If, by some mischance, we fail to win on Sunday, would any man in City square or anywhere else in the vicinity of the tv cameras please refrain from crying.

Apart from being unseemly and exactly the image the media wants to repeat ad nauseam, it's wholly unwarranted. The correct response is to glare directly into the camera and mouth something defiant like "fuck you Carragher and ratboy, we'll have it back next year you cheating ****s".

To get a bit of perspective regards hard to breakdown, they have kept 7 clean sheets all season, conceding 56 goals, city have kept 20 conceding just 22.

Not sure if this has been mentioned on here before,
Sky sports has an article about what all the Premier League teams have to play for this weekend, At the bottom of the page they have a graph showing where all The teams could finish the season and they’ve got Liverpool at the top of the league.

Do they do this on purpose or is it just a mistake?

I think it’s so disrespectful.

 

[SWP's back]

Why?
You've already qualified for the Europa league.
Relax mate you've got Ole.

No they haven’t. They need us to win the FA cup.

Quite right. Crying about football is for 15 year old's. Like me in 81 *sniff*

Remember back last season when they was already safe they tried to play a bit at the Etihad, I like Houghton but to try and park the bus at home last game of the season would be pathetic

But to them, enabling Klopp to win the league would be the club’s greatest achievement. It would go on their honours list. They’ll park the double-decker.

I wasn’t crying Michael as I was too busy dodging bottles and bricks trying to get back to our coach. At the time I felt, as a 16 year old, that we would be back the year after. That didn’t work out well did it.
