Will it be the unfurling of a laughably bad banner along the lines of 'there's some things wot money can't not buy, for everything else there's AMEX' or will we stick to the tried and tested 'we can see you holding hands?'.
Excited to see what the numpties have in store tomorrow.
As for the game, I've got a good feeling. They're a very good side innit, started the season fantastically well when you consider they tonked Everton, beat United and took a point at the Emirates. Something in my bones says we'll get an unlikely result though. |  | | |  |

Brighton are a very very good side and we will do extremely well to come away with a draw.
Our home form is going to be so crucial to us staying up this season. |  | | |

I really don't get the embarrassment over that banner. I don't think it was a dig at Brighton fans - who had obviously been through a lot with previous dodgy owner - but just a light-hearted play on the fact that they are now sponsored by one of the biggest multi-nationals on the planet....who's whole raison d'etre is making shedloads of money off people!
So, there you go, I expect down-votes, or abuse, or both, for saying it, but personally, I thought it was OK. |  |

The use of the Mastercard slogan when relating to AMEX was embarrassing enough for me, even without the snarky undertone. It was just really weird, who even goes out of their way to create that banner for Brighton of all sides. Proper odd IMO. | | | |

The latter and a deleted 10-pager on Sunday.
The optimistic side of me says this is as near a match to our style of play as we'll get this season so maybe we can make it an even end-to-end match where we can nick a point. The more pragmatic side of me says for the same reason they'll show us how far we've got to go to get to their level and they'll run out comfortable winners.
Maybe it's a 'good time to play them' with some of their key men back late from half way across the world but their attacking options are frightening quite frankly. Pedro, Welbeck, Enciso, Rutter, Minteh, Mitoma, Adingra etc. Hmm, having listed them I'm now leaning towards keeping the score down being a decent effort. |  |

This. For the Mastercard/amex mixup alone it was stupid and ignorant. Let alone choosing Brighton as a target for the excesses of modern football. After all they’d been through, the banner made zero sense then and zero sense still. |  |

I didn't realise they had used the wrong logo  | |

I highly doubt either will happen.
I’m looking forward to watching us, who I consider a really good footballing team, play against Brighton, who I hope we are in 3/4 years time. |  |

There was a 2nd banner which got taken down quickly by the stewards. It’s not impossible that it may have made sence of the 1st but pretty close to impossible I reckon. |  |

It's one of those things that make me cringe so much looking back. I like to think it was made by one person and those forced with it in front of them had no choice but to hold it |  | | |

Caught in the Brambles and his crew wasn’t it?
Wonder why he disappeared when we have Blue Action now? |  |

It wasn't him. I spoke to the person behind it at the time. Although it was a little harsh on Brighton given all they'd been through, I think the underlying message, that football is up for grabs to the highest bidder, is undeniable.

I've got a feeling McKenna will have something up his sleeve to knock Hurzeler of his spot.
As good a start to the season they've had, it's involved playing vs 10 men for a big chunk v Everton, a ludicrous* disallowed goal to lose v Man U, and then another red v Arsenal early on to totally change the game.
They are a very good side, and a real inspiration for a club like us with how they have grown over last decade plus, but we've got a much better manager than them and that gives us a big chance of getting something. Bookies odds are laughable on this one - real value in DNB or Double Chance for me.
*Decision was correct, but just the fact Zirkzee couldn't get out of the way of it was ludicrous |  |

You're spot-on re the Man U disallowed goal - it was going in anyway, why disallow it because it hit another player who was offside? Another victory for VAR v football. | |

Looking at the odds, Brighton priced @ 1.42 on the exchange right now. Do Albion win this game 70% of the time? I'm not really sure. | | | |

I'm all for VAR bashing, it's ruined the sport as we know it.
But I don't think you can grumble at that decision. Player clearly offside touches the ball before it goes into the net - has to be disallowed.
Blame the player. |  |

True as the above may be, I think they are really good and have a genuine top 6 chance.
Think we might be in for a bit of a hiding personally, but really hope not. | | | |
