[falkirk goon]

Next up after tonight's dead rubber it's back to the real stuff and Brighton at ours. They todgered us unlubed up the fartbox at the back end of last season,and they've boabied us a good few times the last few seasons This is a definite banana skin.

They are finally paying the price for selling their top players - not the same as last year, but still with a few dangerous players - Ferguson and Mitoma good enough to cause us problems.

If we play as we did v Villa but be more lethal in front of goal we will win ( same old problems of not being clinical )

That's the thing though isn't it Stuart, we can beat anyone IF we take our chances.

Also they are playing tomorrow night, so we get 2 days on them in terms of rest and with Martinelli and Saka having been rested both of them will (hopefully) be Fresh and Raring To Go!



Arsenal Win! 3- 1.

If we put some effort in then I think we’ll win. They’re not as good as they have been over recent years.

The toils of European football.

I acknowledge that De Zerbi is entitled to a lot of the praise thrown his way since he joined Brighton, BUT imo he should be getting some stick too cos he is rotating the shit out of that squad to the point that I think their disjointed performances are down to too much rotation. I was at their game in goodison last month and they were poor imo, and their right back and right sided centre back are dogshite imo - their centre back seems only able to pass backwards All that being said, I think I read a stat during the week that they have won their last 3 games at the emirates - if true that is a deeply worrying statistic. For all the acclaim mitomo and ferguson are getting, there can be no denying that Gross is the heartbeat of their team and most assists come through him
