And stop editing your posts, I saw what happened with @tedebear the other day, you were bang out of order & it's not the first time you've done it. We're both the same for long posts, I'll edit mine to cut out a bit of waffle or to stop the grammar police, I don't change my entire post & the content to make it look like I'm being picked on. I'm sure I'll get incoming PM's from other members for being 'harsh' on you, which is fine. I do enjoy reading your posts but you are 'cheating' on this board. You edit your posts so much that you make people look like they're being rude to you, it's not fair on them & you should stop doing it.
Well, we found good seats, so....A less elegant translation.

Every cloud.Well, we found good seats, so....
It’s almost a cultural thing with the Albion. A mindset almost. Maybe arrogance, maybe naivety. From a position of strength we don’t push on (leading Forest and Wolves) and when our backs are against the wall we punch above our weight (Spurs). I reckon we’ll sneak past Liverpool in the cup and take at least a point from City at home. But what is the f***ing point when beating Wolves (when you are 2-0 up with 2 mins of normal time) gives you 3 points Versus throwing it away and a gallant performance V City gets you 2 points. The first option is so much simpler and easier. Albion don’t do that.We are Brighton, I arrived at that game with the mindset that given where Wolves were in the table and that we could go 3rd with a win, that we’d quite probably lose. I have followed this team long enough to have seen and now accept it might happen. We got a point more than this mindset expected
Everyone, players included imo thought the game was won when the second went in. Wolves had not panicked all game and deserve an enormous amount of credit for turning the game around.
A cock up with 4 on 1 for 3-1 and 10 seconds later 2-2
Hey ho we move on, gutting but that’s football. Two other games had a later goal
Wait....a few weeks ago it was a high line and we should play deeper. Now we play deeper and that is the problem...color me confused

I think Weiffer will come good. I also appreciate how frustrated he was with THAT pass.
Yesterday was so frustrating. I wish we could kick on and threaten the top 5. That said, we’re in a good place, the team will learn from that and it’s so much better than the 2nd half of last year.
Knew it was going to go wrong the minute “you’re going down with the Palace” rang out. Counting chickens comes to mind.
Possibly but Forest weren’t playing a low block when we were 2-1 up and Wolves certainly weren’t when they had 1 defender back on 90+ minutes.Isn’t about who we play?
Liverpool and Spurs always seem to play end to end football deliberately with risk-reward (apart from the brief Mourinho/Conte spell), giving the Albion a chance.
Whilst ManC, and the usual low block suspects, know how to get results against Potter/RDZ/FH teams. Frustrate, break our momentum with cheating, hang on in.

We are braver v the ‘bigger’ sides but sometimes complacent/arrogant or scared V the ‘lesser’ sides imo. This was during Potter and RDZ times too. As Fab said we need to be ruthless.
After today’s results even more depressing, we’d be cemented in third if we’d wonIt’s almost a cultural thing with the Albion. A mindset almost. Maybe arrogance, maybe naivety.

Only if Arsenal lose.After today’s results even more depressing, we’d be cemented in third if we’d won
Oh yeah, I forgot they have a game in handOnly if Arsenal lose.
I don't need to put my hand in a fire to understand that I will get hurt if I do so personally don't think it should be seen as a learning exercise there was a lot of experienced players out there yesterday not the U16s . The players should have enough about them to be able to recognize what's good and what's bad play. I appreciate some may say footballers are not necessarily sharp but this is about basics.It certainly won't hurt the team to experience what they did yesterday. It isn't nice for us fans but they will deffo learn from that shambolic final 10mins. That was not the resilent and solid team effort that we witnessed at St James' Park last week. They got sloppy, let their guards down at 2-0 and the rest is history.
Minor injury. Should be available on Wed.I don't need to put my hand in a fire to understand that I will get hurt if I do so personally don't think it should be seen as a learning exercise there was a lot of experienced players out there yesterday not the U16s .

Any reason why Hinshelwood wasn't playing or a sub?

The crowd was as cocky and thought the game was over as much as the players. Fans also have their part to play. Maybe this is a lesson to us as well: it's not over until it's over - don't get cocky.Yes, along with the "you're shit, ahhhhh" a moment of cockiness usually before the wheels fall off...
YawnYep we will.
Because I am not ‘entitled’ - I’ve attended matches since the Goldstone days so appreciate and value every progression we have made and are making as a Club.
I thought the game was already won too by the time I lost the stream on the 87th minute so yep, really angry we let it slip
You're making me feel even more guilty now. I even managed to save a seat for youEvery cloud.
