Sheffield set out this season with an aim to stay up. They played it tight, stymied the oppositions style of play, got some luck and developed a belief and a confidence as a unit that saw them over-achieve everyone's expectations. Fair play. They have a style built around counter-attacking the...

I like the phrase 'Football is Suffering', I think you're right that we should be looking at it through that prism. We Brighton fans have experienced a suffering far greater than a bad 3-0 home defeat, and in many ways it defines us, but at the same time we fought to save our club just so we...

I've been thinking about 'top 6 cast offs', specifically those who played for England, and how they've done when dropping down later in their career. You can't deny that Palace have done well out of Andros Townsend and Gary Cahill. Crouch was excellent for Stoke, as was Defoe for Sunderland...

I think the fact that we've had to put up with the moaners constantly moaning on here for months on end, allows us the right to give a bit back at the end of the season. At times it felt like being positive about our team and club was a minority point of view.

Don't know why you're making the distinction, against Villa Sheffield put the ball in the net but it was incorrectly ruled out, against Palace Villa put the ball in the net but it was incorrectly ruled out. No material difference and as far as Villa are concerned these cancel out and they don't...

And if they go down by a point will they take action for the Villa goal wrongfully disallowed by the ref away at Palace early in the season. Its all swings and roundabouts.

Not saying that players won't leave us, but if a new club captain is to be appointed it would surely be from within, not a new player brought in. I wouldn't interpret this signing in that way.

That is quite a u-turn you've done there, I salute you :)

Nice little article here.. https://www.football365.com/news/brighton-forward-motion-hughton-potter-opinion Last year we finished 18th in xPTS - a table based on expected goals (xG). Last two teams to finish bottom 3 in xPTS but stay up were relegated the next season (Swansea and Huddersfield)...

Bissouma was £15m? Blimey

I'd like Villa to stay up, two of my best mates are Villa fans and I can categorically state that they are not the Billy big mouths you describe in your post. They know exactly how poor their team is and have been expecting relegation ever since McGinn was injured and they realised all their new...

Would be nice, they're one of the five teams we've played all three seasons in the premier league and never beaten. If my maths and my memory is correct that is

I guess I didn't watch the Brazil World Cup much. To be fair I do remember the commentators in 2018 saying precisely that about Messi, and I've formed my entire opinion based on those comments :lolol:

Fair enough :lolol: If I'm really going to nitpick is like to see those broken down into home and away, and of course its not the whole story because he's playing in one of the greatest club teams of all time. Obviously I'm wrong. But he's still too one footed for my liking ;) Actually as an...

Messi. Obviously I don't think he's 'rubbish' but wonder if he is overrated. Went to watch Barca at the Nou Camp last year and he scored a hat trick. Every one identical, a left foot curler from the edge of the box into the far top corner. Metronomic. So my controversial opinion is that he is a...

We're all going to be very pissed off when we do sell him to Leeds

Nah, don't buy this at all. Played well first half, deserved lead, and showed excellent 'attitude and commitment' when under intense pressure in the second half. Quite frankly, if you don't come under pressure when leading away to an established, in-form team in the premier league, then it...

Is it possible to be 'not his greatest fan' without being so abusive?

When Dunk leaves we'll be delighted to have collected so many young centre backs, increases the odds that one of them is good enough to replace Lewis.

Oh, and I'm in agreement with you, I think UK politics should be on the main board, as by and large there is intellectual discussion on there - alo gside a few angry people with nothing intelligent to say, but they're usually on the ignore list. No different to threads discussing the Albion...
