NewCorkSeth Odd one but I guess they have been reletively likeable for the past 2 seasons?
When you support a team as massive as Brighton I guess you have to choose some hipster club in the championship.


Bristol likeable?

With all their smug gifs etc, no thank you


Their manager is one of the least likeable people on the planet. He is AIDS in football manager form.

Ok I take it back!

I cannot convey to you in words just how punchable Lee Johnson's face is.


yeah he is an utter cock


Problem is if anything happens with Clement and Bristol City start like they finished last season he could easily end up here. Depressing.


If Lee Johnson came to Reading I'd go and be a Brighton fan

interesting to see them drone on and on about supposedly derisory offers in "today's market" for just about average 29 year old strikers with less than decent goalscoring records, whilst they bitch and moan about being asked to pay a substantial fee for a relatively young English centre back who still has potential to improve.

Perhaps it is they who struggle to understand the current transfer climate.

Was thinking that myself. They seem to have an incredibly over inflated opinion of Dunk as well.

Feels bad that Moore has to play for that shower of oxf*rd.

The current financial predicament is that being as they are in the PL they have shit loads of money which we don’t

When you see some of the obscene figures being quoted (27m for Divock Origi) then 10m for Moore is a steal

Reading Football are delighted to confirm that striker Sam Baldock has signed a three-year deal with the Royals, moving to Madejski Stadium from Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.

Sam, who turned 29 in March, has more than 100 career goals to his name to date and he will take squad number 9 in Paul Clement’s Royals squad, committing his future to Reading until the summer of 2021.

With Aluko providing all that service he’s going to get shedloads.

Can't grumble too much about this. Time to get behind the team now until they give us reason not to.

You know how low you've sunk when you're signing players from tinpot Brighton's reserve team :wink: .

Not the sort of goalscoring centre forward we need but hopefully his endeavour will help us scrape enough points to be safely ensconced in mid table.

If the fee really is about 1m, that’s an absolute steal

Our 4 forwards for the season have cost about 4m combined, which kind of puts things into perspective a bit when you see Leeds spunking 7m+ on Bamford

In fact, take Aluko (what a weird signing that was) and Ilori out and we are proper bargain basement - could have a keeper, a back 4 and a first choice midfield all free transfers or academy

...which is why I'm trying to reconcile how or why we find ourselves in such (alleged) financial difficulty?
