Charlton a late equalizer to deny Southampton a chance to move into the top 2 of League One. 1-1 draw.

NBC · 04-09-2011, 04:31 PM

Glorious day at the Withdean. 20c and a 2-0 pasting of Sheffield Wednesday.

13 points clear of Soton. Should have promotion guaranteed with a victory against tue Daggers on Tuesday.

SEAGULLS!

May be 13 points clear but it's sure nice to be in that top 2!

Attendance at Brisbane Road was ~7000 today for Saints/Leyton Orient, over 3k of that was Southampton fans.

I've been of the opinion for months now that Soton would be the other team to win automatic promotion. They just have the look. I also can't see them dropping too many points from here on in. Just felt that Hudd. would drop something against 'Boro or Charlton away. My only regret with this season is not placing a bet in Albion winning the league way back in August. I think he odds were 40-1 to win and 13-1 to go up thru he playoffs.

Albion promoted to the Championship with a stunning 4-3 win over Dagenham & Redbridge.

Currently the fans have invaded the pitch at the Withdean. Knuckleheads.

Championship football at the Amex. Couldn't have scripted it any better. Gus Poyet is a legend.

Congratulations NBC. By far and away the best team in the league this season.

Even though you couldn't beat the Cherries

Thoroughly deserved, I hope you have a good season in your new home.

Just hope that Bournemouth can re-ignite some of our form from a couple of months ago... we're out of the play-off positions now, after Rochdale beat the Saints.

rich76 · 04-16-2011, 09:59 AM

Nicely done on wrapping up the league, NBC.

100 points must be the next target.

Arabia City win over Man Utd 1-0.

Scholes sent off for a high tackle while, amazingly, Balotelli somehow manages to stay on the pitch with only a yellow to show for it.

You dont need any advantages.

NBC · 04-16-2011, 05:33 PM

I think that 102 would be the desired number as 101 is the previous highest total points in a season in League 1. I believe it was Fulham.

I'm just happy for the club and its long suffering supporters that they are moving into a beautiful new state-of-the-art stadium for the first season in the Championship. You couldn't have scripted it any better. The Withdean is a terrible place to watch and probably not much better to play on. The guys that I know in the squad are really excited about Championship football at the Amex. Gus and Tony Bloom have got BHAFC on the up and up.

cheevers · 04-16-2011, 06:46 PM

In a way its too bad you guys couldn't stay at Withdean stadium as that has been an absolute fortress for you guys. Either way congrats on going up and the new stadium, totally deserved. As a Charlton fan I am very jealous after our shocker of a season.

NBC · 04-17-2011, 01:06 AM

Withdean has been kind to them this year. I think last season it was a bit of a reverse. Albion's home record was worse than their away record.

604flames · 04-23-2011, 10:19 AM

Southampton steals 3 points at Brighton. Huge in terms of staying in the top 2.

NBC · 04-23-2011, 10:19 AM

Agreed. It was Grand Theft that was.

rich76 · 05-14-2011, 03:59 AM

Wish us luck - just off to see the playoff game, Bournemouth v Huddersfield.

Don't hold out much hope given our recent form, but hoping we can pull out a win at home.

How was it? 1-1 isn't bad. Still have a chance on Wednesday in the 2nd leg.

SeoulFire · 05-14-2011, 10:39 AM

Sad this is no longer valid:

d_phaneuf · 05-14-2011, 10:43 AM

was one of my favorite signs, hope City finish 4th and draw Bayern Munich in the play-in and don't even make it to the group stages

Great game, we dominated Huddersfield for most of the match. Hard to believe that they've not been beaten for 26 games.

Would have taken the draw before the game, but having sat through the match, I'm a bit annoyed that we didn't win. We also missed a penalty in the first half which may have cost us quite dear.

Am feeling more positive than this morning, anyway. We can definitely do them on Wednesday with a performance like this. I think they'll be under quite a bit of pressure. Fingers crossed.
