Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[kaz7]

Brighton fans would sooner have a 2-4 defeat than a 0-0 draw, especially if the goals are from open play. Not many home goals at the Amex in recent weeks.

Press too hard and BHA will fall back into deep defence and it will be a closed game.

So long as we have a high tempo and pull them about we'll get past them,so long as we do it from the start and not just the 2nd half

 

[SWP's back]

As for Brighton, of course they're enjoying the attention and of course they're talking themselves up. They're professionals: I wouldn't want them to throw the game or whatever (well, maybe I would) and Pep and the lads definitely wouldn't want that. We play over 90 minutes, both teams give it their all and the winner is the team that scored more.

They aren’t talking themselves up or saying they want to win it for their fans. That’s the point. That cûnt Gross said they’d do their best to get a point to help Klopp and Liverpool.

I’d be fucking livid if I were a Brighton fan, although I’m sure that if I was a Brighton fan, that would be the least of my worries.

 

[SWP's back]

I agree. What are the meant to come out and say? Nah mate we're gonna bend over and pull our pants down, fuck the Scousers. What I do find funny is the hate we are getting on the Brighton forum. Lots basically calling us plastics... BRIGHTON ffs.

As above “we want to win the game for our fans”. It’s quite straightforward.

Just give the home fans something to cheer is all they want. No need even to get a draw.

Wolves are a different kettle. They are capable of scoring.

Ok it’s only Thursday and my arse is already twitching, I know ... fanny wipes. C’mon City just win.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Indeed. If Carroll ran more than 2k in that game I would be amazed.

If he has run that far all season I would be amazed

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

The ref will be key to this. If they dont send one of ours off we should win, but I fear they are lining up a cracker of a decision for us.

Other than that, our own nerves shouldnt affect us, Pep manages that out of his teams.

2-0 City

Aye, fair enough. Hadn't seen it in full. Fuck 'em then.

All the talk is of Brighton doing something - when there is a big chance Wolves will have a massive say this weekend.

We just do our job and that is all we can do, strive to get the win and retain the title

Wolves may get hammered but they could also get a draw or snatch a win if the game is tight and Liverpool overload the attack late in the game

However it wont matter one jot if we get the win

 

[KDBtojesus]

Anybody worried? Think we will do it as Brighton are rather poor and Liverpool don’t have an easy game

Wolves have got a good defence, although one man short of being even better. Beer money on it being 0-0 at Anfield.

I'm sure that really their fans would love to see the PL trophy in the flesh

They'll probably never have another chance to

Deep Down every one is worried, title is on the line, why wouldn't one be worried? Hoping and Praying we, ll come through

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Anyone thinking our scouse rivals might be a bit leggy after Tuesday? Here's hoping so. I'd go all out fast paced tempo if I was Nuno. They'll be fucked 2nd half.
Or will Salah make a remarkable recovery with Firmino to indicate he sandbagged the semi and got away with it.
City to win by 2 hoping for a clean sheet too for Eddie to win the GG.

 

[davek1808]

It's in Our HANDS and that is what we would of all wanted.

 

[ManieH96]

We have conceded 5 goals in 17 league games this calendar year, not conceding in the last 4 games.

Brighton have only scored 2 goals in their last 8 league games.

Gotta fancy our chances of keeping another clean sheet.

Besides going goaless away at the dippers, we have scored in every league game this season.

As much as the odds are stacked in our favour, i'm still gonna be a nervous wreck, bring on Sunday. Come on City!

 

[aguerooooo]

All the Liverpool hysteria since Tuesday has been doing my nut in even my favourite columnist Martin Samuels has implied that Spurs are closer to CITY but Liverpool are in a class of there own FFS If we dont get the business done on Sunday and the Nivea dicks pip us i would consider cutting Sky Firstly the impartiality of having a devout scousers Rednapp Souness and Spitty praying for a City slip up, while we hit back with a meek and mild Goat then a summer full of New nivea adverts Ex players managers and Klopps beaming overfilled gob will be seen on everything from EastEnders to loose woman please City win the league so i dont have to emigrate to Korea

 

[Mike N]

Pep will have his serious face on now. The players will be just as determined to complete the job. The next two games are a chance for them all to go down in history.

We didn't score at Chelsea either, but I think that's the only other one.

Brighton saying if we win it they’ll make us wait while they do their lap of appreciation. Surely sky won’t be happy with that with the tv scheduling
