Brighton & Hove Albion 0-2 Watford - 25/04/2015

I'd go with Vydra, Ighalo and Deeney to start.

Get them on the back foot, annihilate them from the start.

Gomes

Connolly Cathcart Angella Hoban

Guids Almen Watson

Vydra
Deeney Ighalo

Motta Doyley Bond Forestieri Paredes Layun Anya

 

Four centre-backs and no Tozser?

 

That's better than embarking on a large rogen seth

 

There will be no routine wins now, look at the Brum game, until a moment of brilliance it was a nervy 0-0 and the atmosphere was on the verge of turning

In both games, if we are 0-0 at 50/60 minutes again the pressure is going to ramp up enormously

 

Just 50 hours to go ........


HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Almost onomatopoeic

 

Vydra is 22 isn't he? And hasn't had a serious injury since 2013, I don't think he'd have lost pace in that time.

I think we'll get an early-ish goal in this one, & Deeney will definitely score, 0-3.

 

No. It's stressful (the John Cleese line about it being the hope that gets you).

 

Too early. I hope Stu's planning a 'spicy spectacular' tomorrow night though ...

 

When I was at university in Loughborough in the mid-90s one of the local curry houses had "Egg Vindaloo" on the menu; although I was a vindaloo / phal person I never dared touch this particular option. I think that StuBoy needs one of those tomorrow night.

 

If it looks like the bottom is going to fall out of our world, we need the world to fall out of Stuboy's bottom.

 

Egg curry is actually bloody nice.

I of course have my own take on it. Scotch Egg Curry.

 

I'm sure it is, what feared me would have been the state of my sphincter and the toilet bowl afterwards, and that in conjunction with poisoning oneself with hydrogen sulphide gas.

 

fresh eggs can cause constipation ... yours must be contaminated

 

Ask for a Tindaloo, one hotter than a vindaloo. Bloomin beautiful.


err.. watford win (hopefully)

 

I'd best make sure I'm not sitting behind any of you on Saturday.

 

This appears to have turned into 'Carry on Curry' featuring Methane Minor.

Time for the Spike Milligan turban clad dalek!

Cautiously optimistic but agree with IRB regarding 60 minute mark.

 

Phaal and tindaloo aren't curries at all. They were concocted in British curry houses (probably as a joke towards British consumers).

As authentically Indian as French fries are French.

 

We have a better squad, a better manager/coach, we're more organized, it's in our own hands and we're playing teams we should beat. Am I nervous? Oh god yes. I'm sh1tting bricks every time I think about it and I have no idea why as I'm confident we will do it. I'm getting very little work done at the moment and I'm sure someone will notice soon

 

THIS! I did mention it to a manager the other day in passing over the cup of tea that she shouldn't expect much productivity from me for the next two weeks.

It feels like everything is set for us to do it, but as I said to a friend, if this goes wrong it'll hurt so much more than recent disappointments. Its the hope that gets you, and hope is very high right now!

 

Well at least someone's "sh.tting bricks" because it doesn't seem to be a problem that the rest of the posters on this thread are likely to have ...

 

When I was at uni in Narch I was once a witness to a 'hot curry eating contest'. Two Phals were ordered and then the contestants were asked about rice. "No thanks - just the curry please" were the responses. Both curries were consumed in their entirety then we went for about ten pints each so the contestants could cool down a bit (and I could just get pissed).

Personally, I've never seen the point. Something middling's always fine for me.

 

Nor have I. Ordering the hottest dish means you get no flavour, just heat.

 

I'm a massive wimp. Korma/Tikka for me.

 

I watched the full game on HP yesterday and we were in virtually completely control of that game from start to finish (which was the impression I got from the webcast). It was clearly only a matter of time before we scored, we threatened a number of times before Cathcart put it in.

Outside of Paredes' excellent goal saving challenge we faced little threat, and Brum were comprehensively beaten in every area of the pitch.

I realise many of us are nervous but we shouldn't let our nerves colour what the team are doing on the pitch. They were excellent and thoroughly professional from start to finish.

 

Quite.

The perfect spice level is the point at which you cannot get any spicier without killing the flavour.

Anything else is posturing.

 

Personally I can't seem to stop thinking about Saturday for more than an hour of my day and I dream about it at night.

 

I really can't believe the club have put the whole Brum game up on HP ... why don't they just send Brighton and Wednesday a scouting report instead? ...



Unless of course we're planning on completely different tactics :0

 

Why put anything up on HP then? All clubs have access to the tapes anyway.

 

do they? ... even those not televised?

 

If we somehow lose or draw, he'll come on here. I will wage anything on that

 

I highly doubt a club at this level wouldn't send a scout or two to the club they'll be playing next game to get a good lore of the land.

 

Apparently we have very different numbers of the receptors that respond to chillies on our tongues. Consequently those with the fewest of these receptors can enjoy/tolerate a much hotter curry than those of us with loads of them. So it's not all just about macho posturing although the two guys I was out with all those decades ago in Narch were definitely posturing. Both chemists too so what the f.ck would they know? W.nkers!

 

Totally agree, I really don't think we looked that nervy against Brum, given how important that game was think we looked pretty confident...
