Enjoyed that. Started badly but came on really strong and unlucky not to get the win in the end.

Potter really is an excellent manager, he got the starting formation wrong but his changes in system and personnel throughout the match really made a difference.

It may not have been intentional but I thought Jame's assault on Burn was dangerous play, he got a yellow late on, could have been red.

James had enough poor challenges to get sent off twice

We should have won. We were the better team. I'm sure most Chelsea fns would agree.

Brighton are a load of dirty cheating scumbags. Chelsea were by far the most SUPERIOR side and yet again get CONNED out of 3 point

Mr (scrabble hand)’s goal was a good finish but BLATANTLY a fluke.

Brighton are down by April, hopefully it’s Palace that do it to them.

Horrible Horrible team

Chelsea had nothing left in the tank after beating Arsenal 2-1. Lampard will need to learn from that. FraPard!

I cringe at the precious posts but before the game, apart from a brief chat about Mooy it was all Chelsea, even though we are at home, now they are all over us like a rash.
When are the TV companies going to learn that we do exist and we are a decent side.

It might be a gift from the almighty, whoever that is, but it was a player giving it his all for his side. That is 3 points (1 against Chelsea & 2 against Bournemouth) that I never thought we'd get.

I disagree. Thought it was a brilliant, strong but fair challenge and he was excellent throughout.

Thought the Burn challenge was just an unlucky 50/50. But he's a strong lad, and doesn't mind putting himself about a bit - some of his other challenges were very close to the mark. And then he gets booked at the end, not for a tough challenge, but because it was a 'professional' foul. Wouldn't mind him in our team to be honest.

I don't like agreeing with you, as I feel you are often wrong/misguided. In this case you are correct. He was strong and physical but not unlawfully so. He is a really good player, unlike that moaning sod Azpilicueta

I agree with him. If we cant beat the likes of Chelsea then we're down by April.

We need to learn to finish off these mediocre teams

BBC comments are worse than those on the Argus site. I very occasionally click and immediately regret it.
