The officials on that night were so blatantly shocking and I'm convinced the result was corrupt .

Someone made a lot of money. It does raise questions what with brightons owners gambling connection

I doubt it

Rocked up with us not long after....from nearly being a Cup Final winning goalscorer to becoming one of Billy Mc's bargain basement Scots way before we were oil rich or state funded....

Gordon Smith was a very decent player for City for a couple of seasons. Think he was our top scorer one year despite playing in midfield

Pep was having NONE of their bullshit today. Funny as fuck as he left them hanging time after time

He must have to bite his lip so many times

Hadn't even realised the no win after CL games was a thing - here are the last 5: The Post CL Final Game was Preston friendly not Spurs - Spurs which is made up statistical nonsense with it being the 1st game of the next season.

A more realistic stat is the 2 away games we've played post CL games this season is we are unbeaten.

28.04.2021 PSG 1 - City 2

01.05.2021 Crystal Palace 0 City 2

Behave! The game was a dead rubber - you were already Champs and we were safe from relegation. Hardly worth putting 10p on the result.

Can anyone recommend any pubs before the games please?

Go in to the centre of Brighton & visit the lanes, some lovely bars & pubs... the stadium is then about 15 mins in a cab.

There's nowt around the stadium itself unless you want to go on the University of Sussex campus (which is a nice campus, but probably won't let you in with colours and/or not looking like a student). If you're getting a train, there's lots of great pubs around either Brighton station or London Road station. Near Brighton station, you've got The George, The Albert, The Basketmakers, and The Great Eastern which are all under ten minutes from the station (don't go down Queens Road towards the beach, the only decent pub that way is The Hope and Ruin, and that's a bit more punky, head down the big hill under the station). Train is 10 minutes, but don't know if they have a special system for matchdays. If you're nearer to London Road or want to head in that direction let me know and I'll recommend some places.
