Up the beige cunts

All you soft bastards were worried about nothing.

[Ginolaandtonic 169]

Do 3rd and 4th place still have to play qualifying matches for the champions league? I remember us fucking it up nearly 20 years ago

[wykikitoon 19840]

So glad for Bruno. He needed that goal, but I thought his game tonight was a LOT better.

Nope. Straight in to the group stage.

Straight into the group stages either way I believe

Nice to see Miggy and Enciso having a chat then.

Who do you think is the hardest member of our team? I’m going big Joe or schar, maybe botman. 
 

Is that a RTG question? 

[Isegrim 9689]

Result has been good for goal difference as well. Even two draws could be fine. It would be an epic failure to mess things up against Leicester.

 

Gemmill should do his job.

[Rayvin 5151]

That's the easy one done - now on to the actual banana skin, Leicester at home

 

In all seriousness, we've fucking got this now.

[Chaser 1203]

Almiron MOTM. Just when you think hes gone off the boil again, he pulls his puddings out and grabs nearly every second ball available. Outstanding from him. 

[ackas 311]

Absolutely no sign of choking. We were on that from the first minute. Even when they scored we were controlling the game. Totally outplayed them at their game.

One more massive effort on Monday   Feel a lot better now that Joe and Bruno seem to have regained some of their mojo. Willock will be a loss but its one more game now. One more big night

We knew what they were going to do, they knew what we were going to do. We were quite clearly just better.

[toonotl 2941]

Hopefully Willock's injury isn't too serious. He'll be out for the rest of the season. But hopefully he's back in time for the pre-season to get himself going again for the new season. He's been quality all season and even better than that in the last few months.

 

It'd be great if Longstaff is back for the next match. Otherwise the midfield might be a bit slapped together. I guess the fact that young Anderson came on for Willock shows that we'll start with him in midfield. There's an argument to go 4-2-3-1 though and put Anderson out left and Isak in behind Wilson. That gives us the workrate of Anderson on the left and the quality of Isak through the middle where he's most dangerous. I think that balance works better than ASM, Isak and Wilson all starting together which might unbalance the side in defence.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13762]

Our right side was tremendous, like. Trippier didn’t give Mitoma a kick and Almiron was like the Almiron of earlier in the season. There’s no way that we don’t start in a similar fashion against Leicester IMO. If they’re even the slightest bit fragile and we’re the slightest bit clinical, it could get messy for them

Must admit, having watched all those videos about how Brighton can beat any press, it was great to watch them absolutely fucking flailing in the first half.

At least give us a few days before the worry starts again!

[Monkeys Fist 41931]

Had to listen to 2nd half on radio as I was picking Fist Jnr. up from the Airport. 
 

In summary. 
 

Wilson…

 

BRUNO!!!…

I just want to take a moment to congratulate all those that voted for me to start this match thread.

 

You held your nerve, and you've all been rewarded.

 

For those of you that didn't vote for me, NEVER doubt me again you little CUNTS.

We’d have won 5-1 if @Monkeys Fist had of started it. 

[strawb 4171]

Aye I thought Mitoma might cause trippier some problems but he just pocketed one of the most dangerous players in the league, no bother 

[toonotl 2941]

Our press was fucking fantastic. It wasn't that Brighton were poor. We just outsmarted them and outworked them. That's massive credit to Howe and the coaches. And the players did the business to a tee. Probably was a contributing factor to Howe holding the subs back too because he needed the players he trusted to execute the gameplan on the pitch for as long as possible. Well played.
