Seagull Seesaw (A Match thread)

Tough one this. Both on the same number of points. Very Well run club. Entitled fans. But are they going a bit Curbishley with 200 million spent this summer and a young dynamic manager. Nah. The cnuts got rid of De Zerbi because he was being knob so i suspect this will be a tough match.

Hopefully they are still titting around at the back and we can catch them out. Never liked Seagulls anyway...

What kind of line up? Same one or go winger on winger action?

This game will be entertaining but the optimist in me says 1-1. Maybe we can Everton the bastards (not this season obviously) and hit them on the break and crush them. probably not so 1-1. James Ward Prowse breaks the Premier league free kick record with a scoring free kick and the Brighton fans lose their shit because he used to be a soton-ista.

Would love a win but don't think so even though we seem to be a premier league side which is nice.

Either way we will be above Everton and Fester who are playing each other this weekend which will be guffawing time.

What?
I used to live in Brighton, long ago, and it's a fabulous place. The football team was a basket case since the early 80s until relatively recently and the success has been well and hard earned. They've spent some money that Chelsea stupidly donated and are dealing with some major changes.

Look just go with the narrative alright? Jeez, they are the enemy this weekend and we need to demonise them to get that extra 1%. I also read some of their comments a few years ago and I know all football clubs have these fans but I thought..,.Whilst not Scousers they remind me of Charlton fans a little.

Anyway carry on...

Chicago: Story teller.

Brutal

As a part time cheerer of Hereford (United) FC, I can assure you,

If I had the wings of a sparrow
If I had the arse of a crow
I'd fly over Brighton tomorrow
And shit on the seagulls below!
Shit on, shit on
We'll shit on the seagulls below, below
Shit on, shit on
We'll shit on the seagulls below, below

(Tune of Bonnie flies over the ocean)

I don't get the entitled bit or the Charlton / Curbishly comparisons. And it seems the relative sustained success is more down to a club ethos and structure rather than an individual manager on a run as Curbishly seemed to be a Charlton.

And anyway I've always quite like Brighton since they amusingly took the piss out of us doing the Mexican Wave nonsense about 20 odd years ago when they got one back at 3 nil down (or something). The whole of the lower Bridgford waving their arms about while frantically bowing up and down and making "woo woo woo" noises was, to be fair to them, funny as fuck, the scamps.

Anyway we 2-1 the good guys. Everyone gets excited.

I remember enjoying that moment too. They brought a lot of fans that night and were very loud. I kinda liked them a bit from that moment on. (And not only did ‘we’ embarrass ourselves with that Mexican wave rubbish that evening, we also engaged in a load of homophobic nonsense that was pretty embarrassing).

Does your boyfriend know you're here?

Classic.

I also lived in Horsham for a couple of years in the early 00s. People were, mostly, Palace or Brighton when they were an established lower league homeless basket case. With the odd Crawley Town mixed in who nobody else really noticed or cared about. Anyway the Brightons were alright. So were the Palaces to be fair, but y'know, Palace.

Either way it's a step up in content.

да.
I mean no.
Actuallly, I mean I don't know.

It would be nice if we could use our trip to Brighton to self identify as non-binary, but I expect we'll score 1 again. Hopefully enough for a point.

I have a sneaking regard for Brighton. Dragged themselves up from fuck all. Very well run. They make decisions quickly and well. They play good football with players that seem to come from nowhere.

So 2-2 then

I like them because they serve Harveys on cask in the stadium, and they let you hang around the bars after the game as they know there will be an awful queue for the train.
