I'm pleased to see Bornmuff and Plucky relegated, you can't stage Premier League matches in a Southern League stadium

Think its a player, probably Ryan or Dunk

Back off Gullsworth, Just because I have been away for a month, you just think you can take over my position of the voice of reason on here.
With the Albion, Leeds and Villa all in the same division, we should have some great banter next year.
If it was Ryan, he’d say ‘look’ first.

The most curious thing..
Not sitting through all that dreary dross, just for a notional 30 seconds of being patronised.
Nice stuff from the Beeb’s report:
Brighton's style of play may have changed under manager Graham Potter, but one thing that has remained constant from the Chris Hughton era is the miserly defence.
In fact, Potter has made them a tighter outfit, conceding 1.42 goals per game this season compared to 1.57 in 2018-19 when they also finished just above the drop zone. Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy were the mainstays in central defence back then, but this season it has been Dunk and £20m signing Adam Webster.
Both acted as barricades on Sunday, repelling Burnley's physical attack and aerial assaults. Dunk was particularly outstanding and made a superb block to deny Kevin Long. With centre-back Ben White set to return to the south coast from a very successful loan spell at Leeds, expect Brighton to be even tougher to break down next season.

I get that, but for a new Prem manager if the media believe he is good then they give him respect and that respect gives him more authority, which then will affect his relationship with his players.
And the media look at the stats, not the attractiveness of performances. He has gone one better than Hughton managed, and in his first season. And that one point takes pressure off him because he has proved the doubters wrong.
I said this to you. Potter just needed time. It's startling to bear fruit now. Next season we will be a different team.
Do you still think we'll be relegated next season?
What you on about ? Where have i mentioned being relegated next season ?

Indeed. As I've seen both Liverpool and Manchester City do it this season when it was the best option.
Passing it out from the back - tippy tappy - fannying around at the back - whatever you want to call it, all can be fine, depending on a). where on the pitch you're trying to do it and b). how effectively the other team are pressing you at that actual moment.

Job done for the season, confirmation that Propper and I think Mooy have to be moved on and even though Stephens seemed to realise over the last few games that he was under scrutiny, his consistency over the season is poor. So off with his head too.
Month off or so now, will be interesting to see what developments happen.
Back to 'what shade of pink do you like' type threads for a bit.
I also hope sock boy goes to Maure so that Villa will definitely be cannon fodder and I am sure he will stink there.
