As a neutral, yep horrid performance, Salah had a rare off day and the rest looked like they didnt know which way to turn

Chelsea were little better tonight either for that matter

Anyone for a Brentford equaliser

Once again no one mentions Brighton, except Stu C! ?
A great goal from Welbeck and a well deserved draw!

Pieces post not exist then?

If you want to mention them crack on....

fwiw if you had a proper striker youd have been disappointed not to win the game

I hate it, but I agree with you.

We lost to Arsenal a few years back after Jarvis tried to get a shot away after being taken out it bobbled 2 foot. no pen given. Manager was furious. The problem is it's so bad, the faster players a la Mane and Salah can run and plant their leg in an unnatural position waiting for contact, almost forcing it. It's actually a skill.

A skill which ruins football for me.

I agree, but also sick of the odd time our players are honest and get punished for it.

Vardy is the king of moving the foot towards the player to initiate contact which is a different thing, but luckily the refs sometimes look out for that now.

the really sad thing is it is encouraged by managers and praised by commentators as "earning" a pen/free kick

call it out for the cheating it is, punish them retrospectively and continue to do so until its not worth them spending an hour a day on simulation in training!

Salah, Kane, Sterling, Vardy, Lacazette - theres 5 nice high profile ones to start with and make an example of, plenty more behind too

What, "Tidy header from Welbeck at the death"?
No mention of Brighton.
Oh, and Chelsea has millions of pounds worth of strikers and like Brighton, could only put one past us. ?

Agreed, although england captains should get double punishment.

As you might expect sir, you will find no disagreement from me on this point

Getting punished to begin with would be a start.

No need for sarcasm.
I just get peed off with constant posts about Man City, Liverpool and Man U to name a few. But not just Brighton, it'd be nice to read some positives about other teams too.

Well post about them then People post about their own side, their rivals and then invariably the bigger sides, thats just how it is. Happily discuss Brighton, would certainly make a nice change

Let me assure you there are no constant posts about City. I’m fact you are the first to mention City ( and there rammel performance ) tonight.
