I would hardly say my post was full of bluster and bollocks, saying it would be easy., and that we were going to win the league, or indicating that we were now above the likes of Norwich, Burnley etc
It just said that given our respective starts, the results, it was difficult to see how this could be predicted as a draw.
No triumphalism at all, If my post was about us playing City, Liverpool, Utd, Arsenal, Leicester, Spurs then yes you would be right. But it was about a team that has started very badly, even given they have had some tough matches, against a team that has had its best ever start in the top flight, with one of the best defensive records this calendar year-not just this season, and we have played not just weaker teams.
I even said it would be a "Brighton" thing to do to not get a result, so why would my post make the board blow up if we get a bad resulyt or two.
Its the opinion that we are somehow not worthy of our position, and we are expecting it to all go wrong and lose the next 7 and that our league position is completely false that is more of an issue than one expressing reasonable optimism that we have a better than even chance of beating the bottom team

I’m naturally extremely pessimistic yet also extremely optimistic at times - I’m an oddball!

So the footballing oracle has gone for a Citeh away win, hasn’t even given us the luxury of scoring either.
With their current form I think he could be right this week. As much as I would dearly love a repeat of the classic at the end of last season, I can’t see it happening.

He agrees with the largest number of Albion supporters on the predictor thread - not much cause for complaint with Lawro today! (Still hope he's wrong though!)

"People are probably used to me being wrong with my predictions, but before Brighton went to Liverpool last week I did an interview where I said that, if the Seagulls go to Anfield and try and take them on it will be asking for a hiding.
They went there and played three up front, drew 2-2 and should have won. I have been laughing about that one, but it was just more evidence of what a good job Brighton manager Graham Potter is doing." He is slowly waking up to reality, although its not just GP, Brighton is clearly a very well run, enthusiastic and supportive club.

In his own inimitable way he cleanly forgot to mention that we are undefeated away from home this season.
