(to end the Brighton dream of Europe I would think sadly). and drawn against the highest flyers of Arsenal, Man City and Newcastle in 3 of the next 4 matches. sigh. sigh. sigh. All not lost yet. Just general fatigue I reckon. I think we still have a chance for Europe but has been a fantastic season whatever. I'm hoping to see them live in August. We're off to the UK for 7 weeks on July 22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably weighted in Brightons favour by a mile, yet a 5-1 scoreline. 15 corners taken, 23 shots at goal, they are probably thinking ,how did that happen. They have the ability to beat anyone,and Arsenal/Newcastle are there best bet for a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Show Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Fantastic stuff Pete, you'll love it. Make sure you get some fish and chips in Thurso, best I've ever had. The Mothership's family come from the Orkney Islands so I spent a bit of time up there and in the Highlands when I lived in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hope you enjoy your trip with Barbara. Spending June/July/Aug in the UK would be great. I lived there, in Hull for 2 years, and the trips away, particularly into the Yorkshire Dakles were unforgettable. Best beer in England My family are Geordies, and I presume you also have a connection there Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always loved the way Newcastle fans were so enthusiastic about the game despite being shafted by useless owners.So good to see them finally get the team they deserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Go to Inveraray Pete. The best whiskey shop you will find anywhere, from the cheapest to the dearest . Just learn your Gaelic as most have labels that are printed in it. Brilliant shop ,not big but stuffed full of Whiskey. Then travel on loch Fyne on the paddle steamer. Was cold even in the middle of summer. Edited May 10, 2023 by Globederby19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turny Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Pete, if you have a contact get Brighton to sort out their back 4, what a very dangerous game they play short passing in the red zone, hard to watch. Good team tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
