My pals and I used to stand at Withdean Athletics Track, in the rain, clutching soggy hot dogs, and shouting for the Seagulls. That was when we were in League One. And we almost got relegated to League Two.
And now ...
We are in The Prem !!
We stood on the pitch at The Amex, sobbing pathetically, and singing (equally pathetically). And then ... we got completely trolleyed.
I'm feeling very fragile this morning.
But, to everyone who supports a team in The Prem ... look out next season ... WE ARE COMING FOR YOU !!
Hi JJ !
When you visit Anfield next Season,spend the weekend in Liverpool, and have a great time with your mates. It's a fabulous City !
Redman says that unfortunately there are no Cable Cars here, just a Ferris Wheel !!!!
There were a lot of wet afternoons at Withdean, Ark ... it always seemed to be raining.
We will definitely make a weekend of places like Anfield.
LiK, the person who really has Brighton blood in his veins is our Chairman ... everyone says that if you cut Tony Bloom open, he'd have blue and white stripes inside. He's put loads of his own money into the club, he secured the funding for The Amex, he's stood by the team and the Manager through good and bad days, he didn't let anyone buy our best players last season ... and he was there yesterday, singing along with us at the end of the game ... all clubs should have a solid Chairman like him.
Brighton are a club where everyone gets a big hug!!
It was Anthony Knockaert ... the Championship Player of the Season. He's just signed a new contract, or he's about to. He's staying with us, anyway.
He also has one of the cheesiest song-chants of all of our players. It goes:
"We've got Knockaert,
Anthony Knockaert,
We just don't think you understand,
He only cost two mill,
He's better than Ozil,
We've got Anthony Knockaert"
Don't forget to join the Fantasy Football next year Jogger, and join us in the AB mini league. Well done, but wait till you get up the "Brit" before telling us you "are coming to get us". We once made Gomez cry when he was playing for Tottingham. :))
