Especially when virtually all of our foreign-based signings under Eddie have been a resounding success.

I’ll clarify, not for *us* there isn’t.

Robert in his third season was outrageous. Carried the team for long periods in the first two thirds of the season. Taking away the intangibles, there’s no valid argument that Ginola was better than Robert.

Good post.

He scored 10 goals the season that was a thing.

He’s fighting a losing battle now, mind. At least beyond the short term. Coming out with similar, rather weird (partially lost in translation) shit as Capello.

I think Pardew going to Palace was one of the happiest days of my adult life up until that point. Bruce was worse. That’s the best thing I can say about him.

Schar was always class. That waste of air Bruce not seeing it doesn’t change that. Shelvey was a lazy twat who Eddie binned first real opportunity be had to do so.

Gillespie and Alnwick being used as evidence we used to be one of the best scouters and developers of young keepers in the country is pretty rich mind. Even Given tbh - he was a 21 year old already part of the full Irish squad and had PL experience when we bought him. Multiple sides were interested. We got him because Kenny knew him from Blackburn and we were the 2nd best team in the country back then.

I’d rather a club with genuinely passionate and committed fans do well. Brighton have 30,000 (if that) customers. They’re an insipid, soulless club unfortunately run by smart, ambitious and forward thinking people.

I thought it was inevitable someone would lose their job for last summer’s shitshow. What a job Eddie and the team have done in spite of it.

Mid 30s / Mid 20s. Bit different. And nowt wrong with a smoke.

He’s also been figured out to an extent. Back off and show him the line and he’s not likely to hurt you. Goes for all 3 of our wingers in truth.

Again, loved HBA in context, but would Ginola have rocked up in July having gained over a stone or whatever it was? Redundant comparison.

I’m going to frame this.
