[Silverhatch]

We couldn’t spank a donkey’s arse with a scaffolding plank. Any scruffy goal and a win.

Did you not get some happy pills? I had 2 out a few years ago . . .it wasn't comfortable! Get well soon.

 

[zefarelly]

I am going with great hope but zero expectation

Too many home disappointments to feel any other way!

I'm going with hope and expectation, a bit higher but not too high.
Also looking forward to the ride there and getting out quickly, train free!

Just got in far earlier than expected having driven down from Glasgow this morning

Unfortunately I transferred my ticket yesterday morning having convinced myself I wouldn't get down in time

Best home performance of the season coming up then

I hate the way the phrase 'six-pointer' gets overused. So, I'm not going to claim today's game is a six-pointer, but a fair bit will hang on it for where we finish this season. If we win, it will take us 4 points above Southampton, with a much better goal difference. That'll be tricky to overturn with four games to go. It'll also take us six clear of both Villa and Palace and, despite both having six games to go, that will be a tall order to overtake us (Villa still have City and Liverpool to play, Palace have a much easier run-in though).
If we don't win, we open the door to at least Southampton, Palace and Brentford (also an easy run-in) to finish above us, and potentially Villa too. We're likely to finish somewhere between 11th and 15th, with the difference being c£10m. So if not a six-pointer, perhaps a £6mer.

First home game I’ve missed all year through work.

3-0 Brighton.

 

[Swansman]

Soon lineup time! Woop!

My prediction:

Sanchez

Veltman, Dunk, Webster

Gross, Mwepu, Macallister, Caicedo, Cucurella

Trossard, Welbeck

If Trossard cant start I think we'll get some Maupay.

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Important game this one - it can mark out the progress and a win puts Brighton into the top half.

Was unsure about this one because of a knee problem and the lots of stairs up to the WSU.

Knee is far better today. Shame I tested positive for Covid this morning

4-0 us.

Never had one, never will

Belstaff or leather. Maybe double denim
