Brighton are top of the Premier League at the moment.

Not sure being precious captures most of the disgruntlement I have read about Hope’s recent piece and general slant on things. Creating drama, colouring ‘the news’ in ominous tones, just doesn’t sit well with me/many people. For every person getting fucked off with it, there are probably three getting unnecessarily worried or angry about the ‘soap opera stylee’ way our club business is being portrayed. Be a better man, Craig. You’ll feel better for it.

… on a bike. It is how he chooses to do it. The focus taken, which gets people’s backs up. Maybe it gets him more clicks/a bigger profile. Doubt it personally. People used to justify the appalling level of journalism and valueless rumour mongering and scapegoating in the British tabloids of old by highlighting their impressive sales. Point is though they all contributed to a lowest common denominator cesspit of disgusting slights and subnormal reasoning. If they had more integrity and actually just, preferably entertainingly, reported news they would have likely sold as many and diminished themselves and the nation less in the process. Same applies to modern day online hacks. They choose to take an angle, or just can’t help their true self leaking out in the focus they take. Wish they’d try harder/do better.

Mmmm 🤨 you can’t control whether the team you support wins anything. You can control how you relate to other supporters. I’m pretty certain anyone not ‘caring’, which in your world comes across like all or nothing shit or bust nonsense, would celebrate just as much as you if we did. It’s not like how much you crave it makes any difference to whether it happens or not.

That tash knocks £50m off his value for a start. I hope they check his birth certificate as I’m sure he featured as washing machine repair man in an 80’s porno.

Absolutely. Gazump the fuck out of them.

I’ll be watching in Majorca with three (prone to sledging…) Man City supporting kids. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst!

He’s obviously being professional, just doing his job, until his job changes. Can’t knock him for it, but if he’d chucked the dummy/refused to play etc then it would be done by now.

Hope so. Seemed to nullify Southampton, at their place, better than we did, at ours. But not fair to compare in the circumstances.

I was so moved by that interview. I don’t care who we sign. I don’t care where we finish. I feel incredibly proud of our club and our fan base; and our player: Sandro Tonali. Well done bonny lad. This is, at its best, what connection with a team, a club, an institution is all about. Howay the lads

What you doing typing when you should be tidying up! (…hope she’s on the mend).

Fair point. Some fucking long tunnels along the way though.

Well my NFL named man, that is frankly ba… mystifying.

Howay man. They’re not a nothing club. They are a tiny club. Jack Russell little fuckers need their head bitten off.

Caught the end of the live prematch presser and Eddie signed off with a sharp ‘That was intense’ (not there on available recorded version). Don’t think he’s enjoying the focus of the questions recently. Quite incredible how much fishing there was re Tonali’s ‘issues’ for example. Louise Taylor, in particular, is making herself very unpopular.

For what it is worth @Groundhog63 I was shocked nothing was given/looked at. In real time looked like upper arm to chest with no attempt to play the ball, which was live/would have been reached.

Three goal scoring chances when the attacking player missed the ball with his head and came off his shoulder/upper arm (two us one time). Must be quite rare. Think they were at different ends so rules out angle of the sun I guess.

This is better. Much better.

Gordon to the right?

We look shit at the moment.

Great block Burn!

Was there really nothing wrong with that block on Longstaff? Genuine question.

Really disappointed by lack of guile and fluidity going forward. Isak and Bruno doing ok. Kelly tidy and safe. Murphy must have had three times as much involvement as Gordon who just isn’t on it; for whatever reason. Can and must do better all round.
