SuperMikey Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 It still astounds me how bitter Brighton fans are about us. There's no real rivalry between our clubs and they've won the league. You would've thought they'd just chill out now - but they still analyse NA's comments down to the last syllable to try and pick out some kind of controversy. Fact is, they have had more penalties than anyone else in the league. You could put it down to having "skillful strikers that slow defenders can't handle" as one Brighton fan put it, or you could say that their players go down easily in the box, as another Brighton fan said. Another fact is that many teams and managers have complained about how the ballboys are used to slow the game down at some times and speed it up at others, mostly to the home team's advantage and the away team's disadvantage. Yet another fact is that their players do act very OTT when there's a foul and wave imaginary cards at the referee. That's a pretty common occurence in foreign leagues - it doesn't happen very much over here but does much more in the Spanish, Italian and French leagues for example. If a team does it, I think it's fair game to talk about it. Nigel's comments were incendiary, but why shouldn't they have been? It was a huge game for our club, not only vital for our promotion hopes but also to prove ourselves against the unbeaten league champions, which we did. It's also quite funny that, despite Brighton insisting they're the best team in the league, they've only taken a point off us this season, and that was because they parked the bus at SMS and time-wasted from the 1st minute. Rochdale have taken 6pts off us this season - does this mean that they're the best team in the league?
Seagull Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 It's interesting and its banter, dont take it so bloody seriously! No one in Brighton actualy hates you lol!
Seagull Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 This isn't exactly true given you released a DVD having beaten us last season at St. Mary's and I found myself being called a 'scummer'. Do Brighton fans even know why Portsmouth fans call us 'scum'? I'd have a guess and say no, they do not. Isn't it rather childish to think three grown men are '******s' just because you don't like what they say or who they play for? Hmm. Whatever really, I'd rather concentrate on my team getting promoted. Promotion is promotion - the title would have been nice but we were probably the architects of our own downfall with our terrible pre-season training (or lack of it) and the sacking of Alan Pardew. P.S - Do the grown ups know you're using naughty words? The club releasing a dvd has bloody nothing to do with it! It was Poyets first game, it was a good result and it was on Sky so very easy to stick on dvd and make a few quid. Hardly indicates a burning hatred lol! You may well have been called a scummer but Ive never heard you refered to as scum by our fans! Always been known as Southampton! To think grown men are ******s, hang on a second, we're football fans, we've got irrational hatreds, its part of the game its part of the fun! All the best, look forward to playing you next season.
miserableoldgit Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 I think that this post from another thread sums it up for me :- Agreed. Brighton have made me laugh a lot with comments this season. Nothing beats our 'rivalry' with Bournemouth that we didn't even know about. The same could be said about a Brighton "rivalry".
doddisalegend Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 U really aren't a saints man really are you? I read your posts and I could swear what you say a lot if the time can't come from a red n White man... Give it up, Go back to skatesmouth ?????????????........who was that aimed at?
