Very excited .................... but (something first experienced in the 1957-58 season, and frequently repeated over the years).......significant part of the text excluded by the respondent to make it match their slant!.......
Come on the Albion - make my Easter weekend!

That was Brighton 6, Watford 0 with Adrian Thorne scoring 5. Heard the score over the tinny tannoy at Hanbury Park Stadium, Haywards Heath as too young then to go to the Goldstone alone. Now feels like yesterday. Repeat, please.
No, what I was referring to was, for example, at home to Norwich in September 1957 after six victories at the start of the season;
- at home to Reading (1-2) in November '57 after a good run;
- at home - to Norwich again - in January (in the cup);
- and less than four weeks ahead of that Watford result when we were gunning for the title, a shocking 4-1 defeat at home by lowly Northampton Town......I could go on through the next fifty odd seasons! However, I've now got a match to follow........................................
