Everton who would have finished on the same points as us last season without their deduction.
Everton who kept the second most clean sheets in the Prem last season with Pickford in goal.

Lampard ensured that he was kept busy.
B-right-on
Living the dream
Because Spanish and Italian teams aren't stuck in the dark ages and play hoof ball. Pickford did twice as many more long balls than any other goalie in the Euros, 99.9999% of them immediately giving possession to the other team.
Plus he can't scream at his defenders in Spanish or Italian.
Apart from that, and a silly haircut, no reason.

I reckon the Albion songbook is mainly terrible with a few worthy exceptions, the good ones being:
- Good Old Sussex by the Sea (but stop speeding-up!)
- Albion...Albion (simple but effective)
- Coz we all follow Brighton n' Hove Albion (to the tune of when Johnny comes marching home)
- Sea Sea Sea siders (simple but effective)
- Seagulls Seagulls (underused)
Most of the rest are codswallop, particularly:
- Walking down the Shoreham Road (really?)
- Hark now hear the Brighton sing (embarrassing)
- That John Paul Van Hecke song (best looking Dutch man I know... yuk!)
You're welcome...
I thanked him for giving us the ball back again. And he heard.

- Sea Sea Sea siders (simple but effective)
- Seagulls Seagulls (underused) - Traditionally sung when we get a corner
Most of the rest are codswallop, particularly:
- Walking down the Shoreham Road (really?) - We used to and its OLD Shoreham Road
- Hark now hear the Brighton sing (embarrassing) - Why, its old skool
- That John Paul Van Hecke song (best looking Dutch man I know... yuk!) - That's the family stand version
Exactly.- That John Paul Van Hecke song (best looking Dutch man I know... yuk!) - That's the family stand version
It's a fun song to sing after a few beers but, as @Terry Butcher Tribute Act points out, the lyrics are a little daft given we've probably got enough Dutch players for Barber to be considering a themed 'Netherlands Day' at the Amex.

My comments in red on your incredibly insightful comments:
Good Old Sussex by the Sea (but stop speeding-up!) - Its called Sussex By the Sea - Yes I agree needs to be slow but never going to happen (I think you knew which song I meant)
- Albion...Albion (simple but effective)
- Coz we all follow Brighton n' Hove Albion (to the tune of when Johnny comes marching home) - Its we all follow the Albion and last season it WAS over land and sea (thanks so much but you are talking about a completely different song sung to the tune of Land of Hope and Glory)
- Sea Sea Sea siders (simple but effective) (so no criticism for this? Gee thanks)
- Seagulls Seagulls (underused) - Traditionally sung when we get a corner (no sh1t Sherlock, my point is that we hardly ever do these days)
Most of the rest are codswallop, particularly:
- Walking down the Shoreham Road (really?) - We used to and its OLD Shoreham Road (Yes again I think you knew the song I meant and I've always hated it since I first heard it at the Goldstone in 1977 "all the lads and lasses with smiles upon their faces" for Gods sake. This also speeds-up to 200mph)
- Hark now hear the Brighton sing (embarrassing) - Why, its old skool (because who amongst the morons who sing it are going to "fight for evermore because of Boxing Day"?)
- That John Paul Van Hecke song (best looking Dutch man I know... yuk!) - That's the family stand version
(oh please do share your rude version)

Good Old Sausage by the Sea
I for one think Wieffer and Veltman are easier on the eyes than JPVH 
Brighton Aces is an amazing song, nicked from the Geordies I believe but great to belt it out.My comments in red on your incredibly insightful comments:

Well it is a Geordie song called The Blaydon Races, but we will have to differ about it being "amazing"
I meant it’s up there with my all time favourite Brighton chants/songs and I know a lot of people that would say the same.
What’s yours?

As a bit of a song nerd I’m slightly surprised that some are unfamiliar with the original version of this song.
Whatever anyone’s opinion of it is it’s stood the test of time as it was regularly sung at The Goldstone since the 70s, although bizarrely it was “Alan Mullery’s Aces” despite it being the incorrect number of syllables to fit.

Yes it was sung regularly and was very popular - the extra syllables posed no problem
