Klopp had the Blues after his team were held to a draw down by the coast, amidst ‘controversial’ VAR calls, or so the painfully skewed media would have you believe. Here at Brighton Rock Towers we’re more grounded in reality and know the decisions, although marginal in some cases, were the correct calls and they allowed Albion to collect a thoroughly deserved point. Andys Bravery and Knott joined...

Another game, another moan, as Albion were denied once again by shoddy refereeing types! Not that we felt the need to whinge about it for 2 hours or anything! Actually we didn’t.
