Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Brighton

[Roygbiv]

Sorry for how late this is but I had a real tough time trying to get enough quotes to make up a post. The Brighton fans seem pretty nonplussed by this game.

Pre-Match View From Brighton — The View From

"Realistically it's getting to the stage where we have to get some 3-pointers otherwise Euro qualification starts to get really difficult, nothing left on the table please" "I’d imagine they learnt something from the other week and we are going to stick to the same tactics so this could well be...

First

 

[Sandygate Blade]

Second . My best ever

 

[Sandygate Blade]

Rushed to get second place. Now read comments. Another set of fans who have forgotten where they were a few years ago. Hope we stuff them on Sunday.

Gravy sandwich???

 

[vas borbokis]

Sandwich gate will follow us and Wilder for years.
It's "Funny as.." though!

 

[Houston_Blade]

Brighton fans with a massive sense of entitlement, didn’t take long. Did they even like football before 2018?

Imagine living in a seaside town but your beach is full of pebbles.

Must be like having a mclaren on the drive without an engine in it.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

What the hell was that sandwich bit all about??

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Gravy sandwich???

We all love gravy up here.
Me and some other skinheads are going to jump em outside the station.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. It's amazing how endlessly playing for fuck all every season gives them that certain sense of over inflated opinion. I wonder how long that'll last as the inevitable cycle of starting to be less competitive every year turns into relegation battles.
That said, 2-1 to us

 

[FlamingLip]

Enjoyed that, with the exception of '...from the lower reaches...' comment.

What 'reach' befits Brighton? Reach-around aside.

 

[BigBed]

Revenge, just simple Revenge!

Cheers Roy

Cheers Roy

They made me laugh to be fair. Some invention at least. I must have been dreaming when I sat on a scaffolding stand on a Tuesday night with a hand full of these tossers in the other stands. I thought they might have some memories but alas no. I do think they might might be right on Wilder though !

 

[Auld Reekie Blade]

Cheers Roy!
Another set of entitled southern wankers. Anyone would think they’d been in the top flight for decades.
Lets stuff lads

 

[Charlieblade]

For as small club, they really do have an unjustified, high opinion of themselves don’t they?

This sounds a bit like a pig comment.

In just about every metric they are ‘bigger’ than we are at the moment.

 

[Shoes_On]

Well they're a creative bunch, aren't they?

 

[Carlton Blade]

Sandwiches

Brighton - BLT - Wholly reliant on one ingredient (bacon/rich owner). Remove that and it's dull, overpriced, vegan nonsense that'll be left unbought in the reduced price section every day.

 

[Charlieblade]

Their income from maximum attendances will be lower than ours.

 

[originaltrueblade]

What a bunch of absolute entitled twats this lot are. Wilder gets his tactics right on Sunday and send em packing back down the M1 to the shit hole that is Brighton

Thanks Roy

 

[Houston_Blade]

Not at these prices it won’t:

 

[Shirty Blade]

Hmmm! Dip your bread! That's the way I was taught as a young un. Never made a sandwich out of it. : Bread was always too wet. (but bloody delicious). These guys just have no local knowledge!

 

[Harry's Game]

“Wilder’s agent is (or at least was) ex Albion cult hero Peter Smith who still lives in Tunbridge Wells. Last summer they both came in my local. I was sitting at the bar when they both came in. I clocked them and did a bit of a double take. You could see Wilder thinking here we go someone is going to ask for a selfie. I said “you’re Peter Smith” and started blowing a bit of smoke up his arse telling him he was one of the few good reasons for watching the Albion back when he played. We chatted for a couple of minutes until Wilder got the hump and said “c’mon Smithy, you are going to be dining out for weeks that someone has recognised you” he picked up their drinks and stormed off.
So I reckon he might be a bit of a self obsessed tosspot.”



This unfortunately feels believable..

Now I'm confused. Is the Houston Blade who talks about Brighton fans 'massive sense of entitlement' in post #7 a different Houston Blade?

Personally, I cringe less at opposition fans calling us Sheffield (why the fuck should they care about our seeming sense of entitlement to be called what we demand?) or labelling us 'agricultural' than to see one of our own on here getting uppity because a fan of another team that happens to be doing better than us thinks they should probably get three points against us.

What relevance is there to the team having low crowds or no stadium 20 years ago?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Got most of the sandwiches spot on. Is he the Pommpey of Brighton?

Yeah, the reaction to the ‘View From…’ is always the same. Any team’s fans that say they expect to win are “arrogant” or “deluded” or, if they’re not a traditional top 6 side, “forgot where they came from.”

Obviously Brighton fans think they should be beating us, they are, right now, a much better football team than we are, as the league table shows.

Should we not expect to beat Gillingham because we were in League One a few years back?

Stormed off?

Sounds a bit dramatic. Why stop there? How come he didn’t pick up the drinks through them at the fireplace and stomp out?

He stormed off so much that he managed to hold both of their drinks intact.

Maybe he just walked off and went to a table as they were originally planning to do? Only the fan, having already decided to ignore Wilder and focus on his colleague, had already decided he didn’t like Wilder and that then reflects in his write up.
