    It's shocking...Rafa out!!

    I mean, it's not as if they were playing Fulham and Southampton while we were playing Man City and Chelsea.

    No, wait...

    And from a non mod. Yes Chris Hughton is a top class manager and Ashley was a DIRE CRETIN for sacking him especially considering the way he returned us to the Prem and restored some of Ashley's profits. But it will be a long time before he will be the equal of Rafa.

    It may surprise you to know that the website of the local Brighton newspaper has its own collection of pboros, who have been calling for Hughton to be sacked for the past couple of seasons.
    This morning is no different - their angle again is that it's all his fault for playing the wrong system in the first half of both games.

    As with pboro, for these guys Hughton can do no right and always gets his substitutions or original team selections wrong.
    One of these tactical geniuses was banging on forever that Albion should have replaced him with Harry Redknapp and missed a trick when he went to Birmingham.
    That ended well!

    Let's not forget that Brighton were playing newly-promoted Fulham and a Southampton team which would have their own fans biting their nails if they we 6-0 up with a minute to play.

    but doesnt matter who you play
    he changed things
    rafa didnt

    and yet again we had less than 3 shots on target

    3 shots

    think of that

    at home 2-0 down
    and all we muster is 3 shots
    and one of those went in

    it doesnt take a scientist to work out if yu create chances you stand more chnaces of scoring

    rafa sat them on the bench

    They get all over the place don't they. Like a bloody infestation or a bad smell.
