How can the cross going through the legs of a player five yards from goal NOT be interfering? The keeper has to position himself to cover the threat of Armstrong, thereby leaving the ar post exposed. If that goal gets given against Saints I guarantee this entire forum would be fuming.

With the keeper and defender's decision making. We might not like it but that was the right call. Armstrong went too far, too early.

Surely Armstrong is interfering there.

FFS, offside.

In the same way as sharting yourself at a funeral ‘changes things’, but yes.

Probably the same thing he did in training when he was scoring 4 in 30-something for Sheff Utd. You can’t just buy anyone and train them to be good, like in football manager. Downes not quite aggressive enough with that push, he could have been sent off by h.t. And beaten the traffic back down the A27.

And that’s what happens when you shop at Poundland in the Premier League. Archer just as guilty of costing us a goal as Suga, Downes and co have been in recent weeks. You can’t win games doing that at this level.

TBF the keeper was out of position, I think Downes was trying to catch him off his line.

Downes and KWP must really, really like the showers at the Amex.

KWP really going to town with the shirt pulling, another senseless booking.

Sugawara is the most brainless, gormless, clueless defender we’ve had since Olivier Bernard.

No worries, we’ll tell him to stand near Brighton's penalty spot, facing the goal and try to control it.

Christ, how long was Welbeck unmarked then?!

What a pointless yellow in the 11th minute, Welbeck was in his own half for crying out loud.

The fact that we’re talking about a man who, in half a season, has managed 0 goals, 2 assists, the mobility of a P&O ferry and can barely stay fit for half a game, just shows how pathetic the rest of our options are.

Russ on Sky confirming it is an injury for McC.

Can I just point out that losing Adam, "a top professional and great lad to have in the dressing room," Lallana doesn’t seem to have hampered Brighton in any way whatsoever, to the same extent it hasn’t helped us either. Perhaps we can finally put this myth to bed and stop coming up with such nonsense reasons for signing players.

Wasn’t McC playing with a slight knock last time? Perhaps he’s aggravated at some point in the last five days, hence Lumley.

Pleased to read this. A long way to go obviously but this is a bill which will help the most desparately suffering members of society.

It is that bad. Premier League teams have a Premier League team and Premier League players on the bench to change things if needed. We just about put out half a Premier League team, the rest is Championship level filler.

I never said that he would.

Correct. We had the talent to take the lead but the mistakes made by the likes of Downes, Suga and threw away those games. Trying to guess points totals is a mugs game but I was expecting to be comfortably bottom based on our squad and if someone had told me 4 points after 12 games, I wouldn’t have been the least bit surprised.

What are you on about? I was disagreeing with somebody who was literally saying our squad is good. It isn’t. As to the rest of your post, teams with no fight about them don’t lead Arsenal and Liverpool with an hour on the clock, they’re usually 3-0 down by half time. The team is clearly trying, they just lack talent.

What’s your point? You’ve just named two clubs who were either relegated or are also in the relegation zone. Are squad is not a good one. Any side who gets promoted and gives contracts to Wood, McCarthy, Fraser and Brereton Diaz is not aiming high.

So no medical diagnosis of terminal illness then, a made up scare story which conveniently skips the massive safeguard of a judge having to sign off on two independent doctors diagnosis.
