Tommo_b Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Couldn't see a thread about them so thought I would make one for them, firstly to congratulate them on a remarkable season and promotion to the Premier League and first time back in the top division for 34 years! This club has an incredible community spirit about it and from nearly dropping out into the non-league, to playing home games at Gillingham's stadium to returning back to Brighton to only play at a 5000 seater athletics stadium, it's been an incredible story and one if you're not familiar with, really is quite remarkable. Congratulations Brighton And Hove Albion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 They have been the best team in the league by a fair margin this year. I think you called them as the best team ages ago didn't you @Tommo_b? Fair play. Really like Hughton as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Wonder if the Prem will kick up a fuss when they get 10 Friday night games at home on sky again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Good club. They deserved it last year so huge credit to Hughton they were even better this season. Key is how Knockeart does I think. When Leicester went up in 2014 he was more important than Mahrez was but pace of prem was too much for him so interested how he does this time. Get in a decent striker and they'll be bottom 6 but o.k I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 A lot of it hinges on the quality they will bring in and how Knockeart performers. Knockeart is absolutely terrific at this level but unlikely to be as influential in the Premier League. He didn't do that well with Leicester at that level better is probably a better player now than he was then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2017 I was touting Hughton for our job this season long before we even got relegated. We probably wouldn't have got him but he clearly know what he's doing at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Hughton has proven himself to be a top class manager, very unlucky to have been sacked from the Norwich and Newcastle jobs. Edited April 24, 2017 by Tommo_b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
