Brighton lost 2-3 at home to Darlington. 92nd in the league. Jimmy Case sacked next day.
25 years on and we have climbed 83 places!
For reference, on 3rd December 1996 Sheffield Wednesday were 9th (and Wimbledon were 3rd )

Is Ferguson injured? Second game now he hasn't featured. Last week the speculation was he might make the bench v Leeds, but obviously didn't happen.

At one point the subtitles came up with "the Liverpool defender defecating..."
Insert your own joke here...

I'd be very surprised if we saw Welbeck in competitive action before Christmas. Not with a dodgy hamstring and cold weather.
Look at the care he has taken with Lamptey to nurse him back.
A subs appearance in the FA Cup in January maybe?

I agree, but usually when he mentions players who have been injured, he'll either confirm they are definitely out, or they are back in training and have a chance to make the squad. Connolly has been in that category for the last few weeks.
But Potter is usually very cautious about bringing...
It made good sense to me. His heel injury has obviously taken longer to sort out than expected. I assume as he hasn't played for a month or more Potter wanted him to get some match fitness and possibly regain some confidence by knocking a goal or two at a lower level.
Now he'll be stuck on the...
There a piece on a West Ham site, basically deploring the behaviour of their idiots causing trouble, and the unfortunately inevitable homophobic abuse

Yes exactly. It wasn't a head injury, it was self inflicted. Arsenal have every right to score and celebrate

That was great, the only annoying thing about the whole thing is that Smith Rowe did not realise that deGea was down. If he had known but shot anyway and the goal had been given that would have been even better!

Fantastic Fred steps on deGea and Smith Rowe scores!
Thank God the ref didn't blow a split second before like what happened to us last season.

Yes but it never works out like that in reality. If you look at Giraffe's tracker you see we often get points in unexpected place (Anfield this season and last for example). People seem to think the last game you play is a good predictor for the next (see Lawro's predictions) whereas unless you...
Why is it "season defining" run of 5 games? Our season clearly wasn't defined by our first 5 games where we picked up 12 points. Our season will now be defined by how many points we get in the next 24 games. (And of course winning the FA Cup, which is a given)

A lot of what Mr Potter says in his press briefings turns out not to be the case.
Why would he tell the Southampton manager who he is going to play on Saturday?
He mentioned the injured players not being available but that was rather obvious from the TV pictures
