At present it’s no big deal, but roll on Monday morning for all those Surrey based fans

9 points with 3 to play for v Manchester in a season is a very big deal
And with have a 50% win ratio v Utd in the PL, more than any other club

Oh come on .... it's brilliant to beat them. Their fans chirp away in every office, school playground, - wherever you go you find them (along with Liverpool), taking over the discussions, the moral high ground, the glory glory trophy counting, mostly from fans who have only been to the north west of England to go to matches..... And just 20 years back, I used to take my son to football training etc, he'd be there in a Brighton shirt ...pretty much alone amongst a sea of Brighton born red shirts.
It's FANTASTIC to beat them, and beat them again, and yet again........ long may it last.

It’s nice as you get one over the armchairs but in footballing terms the win against Bournemouth was a bigger deal

Yep, I have two classes to teach tomorrow afternoon. My lessons are on Google slides. Guess which result will flash up on one of the slides....probably with a lovely picture of Minteh/Mitoma or Georgino. Choices choices lol!

This is it for me. I despise Man United because of this.

No longer a United team you worry about playing. Lovely to beat the little whingers though, particularly that irritating little scrote Fernandez. My hatred for United hit 100 on the scale after their antics at Wembley.
On the pitch it's not really a feat these days, but I'll never get tired of beating those cnuts.

It's a very good question and yes it's still very good to beat Manchester Utd obviously you get the lovely 3 points but worldwide more people watch Man Utd games than any other team so whilst in the main the large audience want a Utd win I've no doubt before much longer you'll see the nippers wandering around Manchester with their replica Brighton and Hove Albion shirts on because frankly if you can't beat em join em

history matters, just because they are shit right now doesn't mean it's a run of the mill away win.

A consequence of their global 'pull' over recent decades makes this result a big deal. There will be 'fans' all over the flat earth really upset. SSN post match could only really talk about them. Not bothered about that.
That we go there with no fear anymore is telling. Fukk 'em.

Only the 2nd team to beat them three times in a row at home is definitely a big deal.

Man Utd will always be a big club with huge support and great individual players who can hurt you. The world takes notice of their results, so our reputation as a club grows with results like this.
