  1. Told you! I just wish I had the balls to suggest he'd score at the death rather than the 74th minute! Anyway, we were crap today. Very poor, but then we have injuries piling up now. I hope Southampton have similar excuses because if either club plays like that in a regular basis then they might yet be in trouble. All I can say is that this level of performance wasn't really standard for us, even if the result was.
  2. You'll be booing Maupay. He will miss a sitter early in the first half, then get kicked and one of your players will get booked as a consequence. You will then open the scoring despite having 7% of the ball all game, but Maupay will equalise in the 74th minute with just his 7th presentable chance and cup his ears to the home fans before celebrating in front of ours and then being booked himself. I do love Neal Maupay. The game itself has draw written all over it. 😄😄😄
  3. Defensively we're as good as anyone in the bottom half, and we have Bissouma who is the best midfielder I've seen at the club - we won't keep hold of him for more than another year. Arsenal will be fine once they stiffen up their defence. They need a Bould/Adams type of player to take control of things at the back, playing alongside White. Even without that, they'll have far too much to get involved in a relegation fight.
  4. The only team I feel is nailed on to go down is Norwich and I fancy 2 from Watford, Burnley and Newcastle to join them. Watford are a bit naiive, Newcastle are crap, Burnley are surrounded by uncertainty after a recent takeover and have stalled for some time now. If they do get reinforcements I think they'll be OK, but it's a big if. Don't think Brentford will go down (I backed them to stay up at the start of the season and there is nothing to suggest that will change) - they are just too well run. You'll be fine too (even without strengthening I think you'll be 16th at worst), and we (Brighton) will be nowhere near the relegation places this season either IMO, although we need a left back and a goal scorer if we are to kick on significantly.
  5. I know Plucky Little Bournemouth isn't a proper derby for you and all that, but I look at the fixtures and can't help thinking how lovely it would be if it was you who officially relegate them. We (BHA) don't much like PLB either and after their smugness following their 0-5 victory at the Amex last season, I only wish it was us who got the chance to send them down. See you next season chaps.
  6. We (BHA) are at a crossroads. Our form is poor, but performances haven't been. Equally, we took 9 points from 3 successive games earlier in the season, and didn't deserve that either (we could have had no complaints if it had been 3). Yesterday's game against Burnley, nothing really went our way and the same goes for Watford at home where we thrashed them 0-0. So this crossroads - our next 5 league games are Leicester, HUDDS, Palace, CARDIFF, SOUTHAMPTON. By the time we play you we could be out of sight given your own fixture list, but if we haven't pulled away from you then we are in real trouble. At the moment, odds of 9/1 on BHA to go down look about right.
  7. I don't remember wanting you to "sink like a stone" and I didn't say we have a rivalry. I said "sort of", by which I mean we'll be looking out for the Southampton fixture more keenly than say West Brom or Stoke because we're in the same region. But hey, you don't feel it, that's fine - plenty of our fans feel the same. Personally I just don't see the point of fans insisting they only have ONE match with any extra bite, which seems to be all the rage on internet message boards.
  8. My best mate is Southampton as are the wrong side of my family. The right side are all Albion. We had a thread on NSC asking whether we have a rivalry with you. The answer is...sort of. It goes back to 1978 when you stitched us up with Spurs, but also 1982 when we stopped you going top by beating you at the Dingly, 1986 when you beat us in the 6th round of the cup, and obviously league one fairly recently. Clearly, there are regional bragging rights to be won, but we've always considered ourselves broadly similar to you whereas you've always considered yourselves a cut above (which to be fair, you have been as far as results go). But now it really is game on, two clubs in the same region, similar support, catchment area, stadium and training facilities. I'm not surprised you don't feel it with Bournemouth - they play in a shoebox and no-one cares about them. (Noddy outfit, but we don't much like each other). But in reality, whilst we'll want to beat you, our secondary rivals are probably with Portsmouth more than yourselves. That could all change, what with them being all tin pot these days. Nothing compares to Palace for us though, much as Portsmouth are incomparable for yourselves.
  9. Look what we found: http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=543661 Absolutely marvellous levels of delusion there from some of the Greatest Fans In The World :lol:
  10. Please. Pipe down. The greatest posters and threads will be on a Pompey forum somewhere - home to The Best Fans In The World
  11. Greetings from Brighton - some of us are already on both sites.
  12. I used to know Mike Thornton as a colleague about 20 years ago and considered him a friend back in the day. He's always been fairly local, and is a decent chap very likely to serve the community well IMO. And importantly has actually done some WORK in his life rather than being another cack career politician.
  13. It is utterly laughable that anyone should try and compare Pardew's sacking with that of double promotion winning, and now creator of a fairly solid Premiership side, Nigel Adkins.
  14. What an absolute bunch of *****s you've got running your football club. I don't dislike Southampton at all but I reckon I speak for plenty of neutrals hoping you drop like a stone now.
  15. Southampton are up, in my opinion. Reading and West Ham are both faltering and whilst I could see one of them blowing it, I can't imagine both doing so to let in the 4th placed side (or below). That said, we're only 9 points behind them, and have run into some form (Saturday excepted), and have to play the pair of them. But I still think even if we won our last 8 games, either West Ham or Reading will win the 4 or 5 games required to put automatic promotion out of our reach.
