    Brighton & Hove Albion (nicknamed The Seagulls and Albion) are a professional football club based in Brighton & Hove. The club was first formed as Brighton & Hove United on 24 June 1901, and the name was quickly changed to Brighton & Hove Albion. The club took the place of a defunct club, Brighton & Hove Rover, in the Southern League In the Southern League they won their only national honour to date, the FA Charity Shield, by defeating Football League Champions Aston Villa in 1910. There had previously been Old Brightonians, representing the area in the FA Cup in the 19th Century. The club initially played at the Hove County Ground, with a few games were also at Goldstone Ground that was used by Hove F.C. From 1902 onwards, Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. and Hove F.C. shared the Gladstone Ground. In 1920, 19 years after the club was formed, they were elected to the Football League's new Third Division.

    Mismanagement brought Brighton close to relegation from the Football League to the Conference which they narrowly avoided in 1997 and 1998. A boardroom takeover saved Brighton from liquidation, and following successive promotions they returned to the second tier of English football in 2002, from then on playing in the second and third tiers of English football until the conclusion of the 2016-17 season, where the club earned promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history, marking the end of a 34-year absence from the top flight. Bighton's fans consider Crystal Palace to be their biggest rival with matches between them termed the M23 derby, and they play their home games at Falmer Stadium.

    Half-time: 1:0
    Full-time: 1:1
    too feckin obvoius
     
    I don't think I've ever seen such an obvious result as Brighton vs Man Utd. 1-1 obviously
     
    Drop Maguire and Ronaldo. Play Lindelof and Rashford/Elanga through the middle. Imagine Fred will come back in if he's recovered in time.
     
    Probably 1-1.

    I would play Lindelof for Maguire and Elanga for Ronaldo, keep the rest as is.
    De Gea
    Dalot Varane Lindelof Shaw
    McTominay
    Pogba Bruno
    Elanga Rashford Sancho​
     
    People weren't kidding when they said it was a quick turnaround for the next game, I'm sure the usual suspects will start but I'd try this.


     
    Considering this is on Mon 15th of Feb 2021 we have a good chance of winning and a chance for Mason.

    We really couldn't have asked for a better set of fixtures since Ralf was appointed yet..
     
    We are so short on players where it matters I honestly have no idea what to do different. Put Rashford as CF. I don't see how he could do worse than Ronaldo, who played 90 minutes today. And Cavani is probably unavailable. Lingard and Sancho to his sides, I guess. Lindelof for Maguire, no doubt.

    No chance this ends in anything but a draw. Christ...
     
    Shaw, Maguire, Mctominay and Rashford will all start and we'll draw or get beat in a borefest.
     
    Another game closer to May so I can forget about this team for a few months.

    Glazers out. 9 years of failure and it's all on them and their stooges.
     
    Barely can bring myself to care anymore. It's at Old Trafford, so you know we're dropping points. I'm just looking forward to June-July which is always the best time to be a United supporter, while there is still some hope for the season ahead.
     
    We’ve really missed Fred battling away and disrupting. If he plays I think we win as Pogba goes attacking and then we have options again to mix things up. Sickening to be drawing with these kinds of team given the embarrassment of riches at our disposal.
     
    Yeah I’m not watching this game. Too depressing as it is. PSG vs Real Madrid is on at the same time. More entertaining.
     
    I’ll save you all the anger and frustration you’d get watching the game by telling you this will end 1-1. We’ll go 1 up in the 1st half while looking decent but will fail to score the all important 2nd and 3rd goals. We’ll then turn to shit in the 2nd half and they will score an equaliser and we’ll need De Gea to bail us out again to prevent them coming away with a win.

    Totally unrealistic, never could happen.
     
    Bruno false 9 (it won't be this though)...

    De Gea

    Dalot Lindelof Varane Telles

    Matic
    Pogba Fred

    Elanga Bruno Sancho​
     
    He will obviously play, but I really hope we sit Maguire out for a bit. I would play any of our options ahead of him right now. No idea where Bailly is right now, but even if his leg is hanging off, he still gets the nod over Maguire.

    But more realistically, just put Lindelof back in the team.
