Better squad in fact.

If you're using us as a measuring stick at the moment then you're in trouble!

Only "great" side in this league atm is Newcastle

by westisbest Sat 19 Nov 2016, 8:25 am

Was using Norwich as anything.

Never good when your left back decides to become the goalkeeper after 40 seconds

I heard Neil is meeting with the board tomorrow. Curtains?

Nothing he is doing is working so I wouldn't be surprised.

Problem is the board will likely just promote Alan Irvine from coach......

Hahahahahahahahah rob green

by westisbest Sun 20 Nov 2016, 1:43 pm

Poor goal to concede.
Should have pushed it over the bar.

I hate that goal celebration when a player puts te finger over the mouth to say shush.

Gabby does it.
Not a fan of it.

by westisbest Sun 20 Nov 2016, 1:48 pm

Has Darlow been on the sunbed?

by Guest Sun 20 Nov 2016, 2:29 pm

Gayle for England

Rubbish game of football Friday night, as expected Villa showed that they are a decent side and proved a much more difficult game than Norwich provided. They were very much the better side and we were lucky to take a point.

Game overshadowed by the shambles that continues to be Southern Railway, thousands of fans from both sets of supporters still stuck at Brighton station at 19:45 and stuck post natch as well. Fans forced to be crushed and walk the A27 as a result.

Only highlight of the game i missed, which was the outstanding Murray goal. Beer and a pie was calling.

Fulham next Saturday, lets hope for a better performance.

by westisbest Sun 20 Nov 2016, 7:30 pm

My brother went Nick, he mentioned the trains were pretty poor.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 20 Nov 2016, 8:20 pm

Anyone who gets beer and food during play deserves to miss goals. I hate you sort!

by westisbest Sun 20 Nov 2016, 8:28 pm

Nothing wrong with going to get beer and food couple of minutes before half time to beat the crowd.

by westisbest Sun 20 Nov 2016, 8:30 pm

I've only done it a few times, couple of minutes before half time, but generally wait till the half time whistle.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 20 Nov 2016, 9:21 pm

No no no! You're there to watch the football!

by westisbest Sun 20 Nov 2016, 9:47 pm

Nah really Wink

Thing is, if you wait to the half time whistle to go, you're probably not gonna be back to the seat until the 50th minute at least i recon. Other grounds maybe better, but the AMEX is so hard to call as it seems to be different people every-week! Some very prompt and some terribly slow. Some other grounds are dreadful, QPR i recall i went down in the 41st minute, not to return to my seat until the 54th minute and that was only getting a bottle of water and a hot dog!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 21 Nov 2016, 7:01 pm

Football match getting in the way of a beer...go to the pub then!

by westisbest Mon 21 Nov 2016, 7:36 pm

Thats what half time is for, for the fans.
Toilet, bite to eat a beer chat about the firse half etc.

Should they not serve food either as that can take a while to.
Should we all just sit in our seats for half time.

Surprised this bothers you dolph.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 21 Nov 2016, 7:53 pm

Should just get someone else to get a beer for you imo

by westisbest Mon 21 Nov 2016, 8:27 pm

Bit lazy that.
Why can't you get your own beer?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 21 Nov 2016, 9:27 pm

Get it at half time then. Not during the game. Football is a sport. But people who get up early cos they are desperate for a beer...dunno, think its a bit sad

by westisbest Mon 21 Nov 2016, 9:38 pm

Each to their own Dloph, but find that very strange.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 21 Nov 2016, 9:53 pm

Its bothered me for years. You get people at 40 mins going to the bar. The same kinda people who miss kick off cos they were at the pub. Its like they cant handle more than 10 mins without a beer in their hand.

Again that goes back to my point, if everyone did that, you're looking at not returning to you're seat until at least 5/10 minutes into the second half.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 23 Nov 2016, 5:04 pm

Then don't get a beer. You're at a football game!

by westisbest Wed 23 Nov 2016, 5:50 pm

Is it people drinking at a match you don't like, or just leaving their seat in general?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 23 Nov 2016, 6:30 pm

I can accept the need to pee, although it does annoy me when theres bloke who leave every 10 mins for a beer, and every other 5 to pee. But it really bugs me that people miss bits of the game cos they "need" a beer. Its not something id think about on a day to day basis or anything, but I sigh when I have to get up cos some bloke wants a pint

by NickisBHAFC Wed 23 Nov 2016, 9:24 pm

Get up? You should be standing up at a football game?

by Guest Wed 23 Nov 2016, 11:39 pm

I'm with Dolph on this. I've never understood the need for a beer at a football match. You wont die if you go without a pint for a couple of hours, and you'll save yourself some money. Everyone wins!

by Guest Sat 26 Nov 2016, 4:43 pm

Rafa has paid the price for focusing on Hull next week. Poor stuff.

by Guest Sat 26 Nov 2016, 4:46 pm

That's a coupon buster. Bubble had to burst sometime.

Rafa does love his cup games.

Haven't developed one still

Ironic that we were pounded by 11 men in Brighton

We're reaching derby levels of bottling now

Just achieved it

Odemwingies a moron

by NickisBHAFC Sat 26 Nov 2016, 7:59 pm

Fantastic come back by the lads today, first half was shocking, the only positive was we were only 1-0 down thanks to Stockdale, not having a Stockdale performance.

Second half we were fired up, 2 lovely goals, second goal was thanks to some generous defending by Fulham. But a fantastic 3 points and even better that Newcastle somehow managed to drop points at home to Blackburn, but thats the championship for you, its gonna happen to every club here and there.

O and i know its not championship but Palace Laugh

by westisbest Sat 26 Nov 2016, 9:38 pm

Stam doing a fine job for Reading.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 27 Nov 2016, 9:33 am

Indeed.

by GSC Fri 02 Dec 2016, 9:45 pm

Decided to make it harder than it needed to be but got the points in the end Smile

by Geordie Fri 02 Dec 2016, 11:18 pm

I hope this doesn't come across as sour grapes, it's really not meant to, but that has to be one of the worst refereeing performances I have ever seen!!!

I would be putting a complaint in if I were Newcastle.

Absolutely shocking.

Making waves across the pond!

by NickisBHAFC Sun 04 Dec 2016, 8:45 pm

Decent point in Cardiff yesterday, probably should of won, but a useful point. Best part was post match in the pub, Cardiff fans performing some quite wonderful hymns.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 09 Dec 2016, 11:13 am

I see that plucky underdogs Brighton posted a loss of 26m last year

by NickisBHAFC Sat 10 Dec 2016, 3:56 pm

Great win last night against Leeds

First half we were in complete control and the only disappointment was we only went in at half time with just the 1 goal lead. Lovely decision by the leeds player to handle the ball and get sent off.

Second half was very poor, but who cares, got the job done. Top of the league.

Well Newcastle are 2-0 up, so that was fun while it lasted!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 13 Dec 2016, 1:50 pm

Fully expecting villa to thump us tonight

by westisbest Tue 13 Dec 2016, 3:08 pm

I bloody hope so.
It will be a tough game for us.

Still not great away from home.
We need to start stringing wins if we're going get in the play offs soon.

Trust me way we've been playing it really won't be a tough game

Our players have zero bottle or commitment

by westisbest Tue 13 Dec 2016, 6:55 pm

Yes, but this is Villa we are talking about.

by westisbest Tue 13 Dec 2016, 8:32 pm

Pish poor first half.

All I can say about that.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 14 Dec 2016, 8:06 am

Why didn't you, you know attack? We can't defend for toffee and you came for a 1-0
