east lower Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Might be a very entertaining game to witness. Both sides keep the ball on the green stuff and attempt to play through the midfield. Be interesting to watch how we try to play through their defensive lines. Width I suspect could be crucial, trying to attack their full backs. Don’t know if the chap Estupinian (spelling??) is going to be fit, because he seems to make a big difference to their performances this season. Tricky place to drive or train it to at the best of times, so if you’re going to the game give it plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asvaberg Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) We are all Chelsea and a little bit Crystal Palace fans that day. And not mainly because of the result at Trafford last night, but because: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton_%26_Hove_Albion_F.C.–Crystal_Palace_F.C._rivalry Edited May 7 by asvaberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you’re training in and you’ve not done so - it looks like an absolute nightmare to get on a train at the station after the game. Queues are biblical. Closest free car parking is a mile and a half away (Wild Park area). Your match ticket is accepted on local buses, it’s noted on the ticket that there’s “subsidised travel” included. Problem coming away from the ground is that again the queue for the buses are also enormous. I always walk back, past the university sports pitch’s and through a housing estate back to the car. If there’s anything else that you need to know and I can help, just ask 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the bloody awful M25 as well. Never been by train there though. Let's hope we don't buy anymore of their overrated players, we seem to get our pants pulled down every time we sign a player from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holymoly Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 When I lived down south I lived near Dorking so was more an A24 Worthing kind of guy. Brighton and the A23 was just so Croydon, although Iived there too, pre-riots and pre-tram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Quite a few injured for them (assuming you believe the EPL injury site) . No Mitoma, Jaio Pedro, Veltman, Estupian, van Hecke, March, Milner, Ferguson or Hinschelwood. Edited May 12 by Sciatika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarefreeMuratcan Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) United losing against Arsenal means we probably only need 1 win to guarantee Conference. For Europa we need Newcastle to draw 1 game (they play United) and win both our remaining games or if United beat them then 1 win, 1 draw is enough. Both assume City beat United in the FA Cup.

Sciatika Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 We need Spurs to lose to Man City (likely) and to lose on the last day, Newcastle to drop points to Man United (not impossible at Old Trafford) and to win our games. If we do that, we will be fifth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) It would be extremely Spursy (and as funny as heck). And at Bramall Lane. Edited May 13 by Sciatika 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance for Spurs to lose enough ground was against Burnley and when they went 1-0 down I had hope! I think it will be in our hands to get Europa. Newcastle have 2 away games, I know United are crap but they will give Newcastle a game (they made Arsenal sweat). We just need to do our job. After the season we have had it will be so strange if we go out on a 5 win streak. We are Top 4 in the 2nd half of the season, as were Villa last season, so bodes well for next term.

paulw66 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I think if we win our 2, we will get 6th, although it is not impossible Spurs lose twice..........They could come 7th! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably be more Spursy for them to beat City, hand the title to Arsenal and then lose to Sheff Utd. That way, everyone loses. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy1905 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Trying to figure out what position we need to finish in to qualify for Europe ?? So for example if we finish 6th that will qualify for Europa Cup but if Man Utd win the FA Cup we would enter the Europa Conference league instead. Where would 7th position in the league qualify us for ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be typical W/Ham to turn-up for their game at the weekend against Man City, after jacking it in for the last 3 weeks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
