I remember when Southampton were the poster child for youth development, developing players and selling for big fees and getting 3 or 4 managers on the bounce to be a hit and continue that philosophy. Sooner or later. If you get your best players and coaches pinched you go down the toilet. Nobody forever can have such 'luck' in the transfer market hard to know what "tits up" actually means, more that the hype dies down and they slip a bit to a place that is still decent enough and higher where they have been for decades previous i think its more what the PL is, loads of clamouring and excitement about up and coming teams and teams doing things right and how everyone should be more like them...and then absolutely nothing said when that team goes on to do just about **** all...sky et al love the idea of a team flirting with doing something but then also love that chelsea having a "bad" season will spend £300m and end up where they always end up brighton wont do anything, fulham and brentford wont do anything, liverpool will get europe, chelsea might too, the cups will go to a top 6 team or maybe newcastle but how **** exciting was it in the worlds greatest league? rinse and repeat, brilliant for the product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 They have an absolute gem in Evan Ferguson, a complete centre forward and only 18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Lots of respect for Brighton but it’s **** annoying they also keep winning!! I’d love for us both to get Europe at Spurs and Newcastle’s expense! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I understand why, what a player! He made his senior debut at 14, Irish media has surprisingly not really build up his hype until he really got going at Brighton I think Parrott and Connolly have been poor recently after the hype that they calmed down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Yeah he looked completely comfortable against Chelsea at 14 too. Brighton ended up a good choice for him but we should be competing better for the top Irish talents coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Were totally done by the refs today. Seriously it felt like the refs actually were bribed. Really poor and I'd be furious if I supported them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goals, the VAR, the non-pens, the sending off of their manager all ridiculous. Of course Kane comes along to score the winner to rub salt in the wound.

StefanAVFC Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I know they have 2 in hand on us, but to be above them, at this point, after all of the clamour for how brilliant they are, is absolutely mental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Make no mistake. They are a serious team. They could batter us into oblivion. But we have picked up 7 points more than them since we got Unai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have picked up 7 points more than them since we got Unai We actually match up pretty o.k v them. Won down there in Unai's second game and also pretty comfortably home and away under Gerrard. I think that game down there though Ferguson hadn't yet broken through and they had Trossard upfront and Mitoma was ill so those two will add a different dimension to their attack. I never feel playing them it's near impossible to get a result as it usually is for us v West Ham, Brentford and Wolves anyway. Was watching our game obviously so haven't seen the VAR incidents so what actually happened? I did check the live score a few times in second half and it said they were 2-1 up with Welbeck scoring before it went back to 1-1 so I presume that goal being cancelled was debateable and something about a clear penalty that should've been checked? Bad game for them to lose today anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy54 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Just watched MOTD and even the pundits said there were so many wrong decisions, yet VARs chalks off goals and penalty shouts for Brighton. Shocking, I am still convinced of corruption in the game and this shows to me continual biased, unconscious or otherwise that favours the top 6........................... ........... ........ oh wait a minute we are top 6 now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a failed experiment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
