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

[Frank the tank]

Not that long ago they were playing in front of one man and his dog at a leisure centre
Be funny watching them. Go back. Down the leagues when the owner turns off the tap

 

[Houston_Blade]

What did we ever do wrong to Brighton?

Chelsea, Everton and Us for the drop.

Talking to an Ipswich fan yesterday who was having a little dig too. Not about United, but northerners. Said we don't get a say in anything because we put gravy on fish n chips. Was spoken in jest, but I knew deep down he felt that as a southerner, he was superior to us

He’s not even a Southerner, closer to fucking Belgium, weird cunts.

 

[Steelcitysenior]

Quite happy with the gravy sandwich, but I think Brighton could be a sausage variety

 

[The Crab]

Brighton, cheap assed sausage made from earholes lipholes and arseholes. But covered in an expensive sauce to make it taste like it belongs amongst the big hitters

 

[Charlieblade]

Not at these prices it won’t:

…. and the Brighton ground capacity is ……

 

[DSB-91]

Let’s see if they are much better team on Sunday …if you don’t like the reaction to the “View From” I say this Tough Shit

Alright pal, you Google search that LOL image all by yourself?

I don’t care either way, and I hope we win on Sunday but you can’t blame them for backing themselves lol.

 

[Houston_Blade]

…. and the Brighton ground capacity is ……

About 300 less than ours!

Feck me, are they the new massive, sad pricks.....

You taking my name in vain.?

 

[bigblade]

Thanks Roy as always...

Nah mate.

You’re the Big Hitter of big hitters

"Low block side" is a comment that is increasingly used in football and it makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

It basically means 10 men behind the ball and defending your 18 yard line.

EVERY team does it when defending a lead, or when they come up against superior opposition. Mourinho has done it for 20 years.

The term is a load of bollocks.

I disagree, but against Villa our line was incredibly high and we pressed high, the opposite of a low block.

Fucking bunch of candy-floss salesmen

Nail on the head. Another example of having to give something which has been around for ever, a new name to try and make it sound technical.
High press / low block / quick turnovers - ahh fuck off.
Won’t be took long before a name is invented for a long ball team. Oh they play High percentage football or summat equally nobish.
Don’t get me started on how truly irrelevant ‘expected goals’ is.

 

[Grappler]

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.

These entitled fuckers forget when they were at that shithole Withdean and fans of other clubs were attending to"save" Brighton from oblivion...tossers

Guess we saw

I recent history the blades maintain a higher average home attendance in the EPL.

I case my rest.

Your point was that they would earn less in revenue if they had a full stadium. Thats wrong, their capacity is very similar to ours and they charge more.

Attendance is a different debate entirely.

Attendance is not a different debate. It is linked to prices. Sheffield and Brighton are different demographics.

My point is tha Sheffield United is a traditional northern club, supported by affordable match day tickets and season tickets. Perhaps that why the Prince is so poor ..

Your point was about income from maximum attendances (see your post below). Theirs would be higher than ours because they have a similar capacity and charge more per ticket.

Again, attendance and demographics are a completely separate debate.

Their income from maximum attendances will be lower than ours.

Demographics drive prices so they are connected.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I don’t disagree with that but look back at your statement, it was a statement that at maximum capacity we’d earn more revenue than they would.

We wouldn’t, very simple.

 

[Charlieblade]

Only if the clubs enjoyed similar demographics and pricing policy.

 

[Houston_Blade]

In the same way that if we had a similar sized stadium to Man Utd/Liverpool/Arsenal and similar prices we’d have similar Matchday revenue to them, but we haven’t so we don’t!
