Yes!

Really chuffed with that. If manure had won you just knew what the draw for the round would bring for us....

Snigger.

My Brighton 3 nephews will be estatic, particularly after Man U beat Brighton at the Wembley semi on pens a few years ago!

So, a post mortem now where Brighton will hardly get mentioned and a period of national mourning announced for Newton Heath.

Bless.  Some of us have had more seasons than we care to remember when there was nothing meaningful to play for before January was out.  What goes around, comes around.  They just need to experience a relegation or two and then they can start talking about being real fans.

20 trophyless years in the wilderness with a relegation thrown in wouldn’t do them any harm.

100% this. Like we got passing mention for beating Spurs, Man U will dominate the conversation landscape in the media. It won’t be about how good Brighton were today.

Darren Fletcher (the commentator numpty, not the latest numpty in the Yanited dug out) wittering on about the Red Dimwits facing their lowest amount of games in a season as the red card is brandished, totally ignoring the action on the pitch.

All the dregs seem to commentate on TNT.
The twat has just said they will try and qualifying for the CL🤣🤣

I wouldn't rule it out, no doubt they'll get plenty of help from the powers that be.

Neville apparently wants Ancelotti. Heard a few of their fans pre game saying similar.

Ancelotti, Luis Enrique or whoever are v good coaches/ managers.

But they aren't miracle workers. See Ancelotti's stint at Everton.

Look at the muck they had in the starting XI and on the bench today.   Amorim was doing well having them near 6th, TBH.

He had done mostly terribly for two years, though, so can't really have any complaints. 57 points from his 46 games, in charge. Fewer than Forest, Fulham and Everton. He was shite.

Neville, Ferdinand, Scholes and Company are deluded and living in the past. The club are and have been for some time, a root and branch project away from being back in the big time.

Let's call it: the home side were pretty much at full strength. BHA was pretty much a reserve team.
Nuff said.
