Gus
Poyet's Attire:
Gustavo appeared in his suit, no tie combination
along with a standard issue training jacket |
 |
Weather:
A cold evening with light drizzle that became
heavier as the game approached its conclusion |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
The Valley is a fine stadium. Three large stands
make up the home sections of the ground, with
the main stand and behind the goal featuring two
tiers. Away fans are housed in the smaller Jimmy
Seed Stand behind the goal, which although dated
allows for a good atmosphere. 8/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
Poor. Not just Potter's, but also Walmsley's
hotdog both fell apart. This was particularly
disapointing as the lubricated penis type
promised so much |
 |
Entertainment:
Nothing on offer. 0/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
Delightful. People were happy to stop and chat
about the trials and tribulations of being
Brighton fans and the people in general were a
joy to converse with despite being only four
miles from Millwall. 9/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
Being London, there were an insanely high number
of attractive women in and around the London
Bridge area. The stadium itself however seemed
to be devoid of the female touch. 6/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
Allowed fans to stand and
were generally helpful, especially when turning
a blind eye to people who were too lazy to walk
all the way around the back of the stand in
order to enter the upper area of the
accomodation, and as such just climbed over the
top. 7/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
The Crocs flag was not taken to this game |
 |
Match
Report:
The Albion made it four points out of six
against the much-fancied duo of Leeds United and
Charlton Athletic thanks to a 2-1 win over the
latter at The Valley. Inigo Calderon opened the
scoring with his first goal for the Seagulls,
before a screamer from Elliot Bennett secured
the points despite a late consolation for the
Addicks. |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
McCarthy and Potter were able to consume
virtually an entire meal through the taster food
in Sainsbury's, which lead us to question if you
could live off it if it was available every day.
Probably not if every branch employs the Nazi's
that plague Haywards Heath after Potter was
informed he was "greedy" by one delicatessen
worker. |
