I think you may have missed the cruel mockery which was the main intent of my post.
Also you should not confuse my misty eyed yearning for happier days with an actual desire to see Brighton relegated. I wished to go back in time to relive that happy journey. I did not hope to go back to the championship.

Yes it's just a fact that winning promotion in the championship is hugely entertaining and far outshines the 'fun' of treading water in the premier league all the while knowing that your number is up some time soon. I wouldn't imagine many Brighton fans wanted relegation but in the last Hughton years I found myself missing the excitement and value for money of the second tier.

Why oh why oh why?
It's worth noting that in each of our first 4(FOUR) seasons we had 9 PL wins all season.
This season we already have 8, after only 21/38 matches. We'll need to go some to match last season's 18 wins, mind...

Yes, let's face it, we are the fans that have been spoilt recently, not Palace fans. They have been fed the same ground out crud for ages. Maybe that is why they have taken to entertaining themselves in the stands instead of actually watching or caring about the football?

How Palace do business:
A bid for Daniel Munoz was rejected earlier this week by Belgian side Genk, with the Colombia defender reportedly having refused to train in an attempt to force through the move. Asked last week about Palace’s interest in the 27-year-old, Hodgson said: “Yes, I’ve seen a video of him. He looks like a good player. I’ve only seen a video of him, but on the video he looked good.”
When it was pointed out to Hodgson that what he had actually seen was two of his U21 players on a PS4 playing a version of FIFA22 at the training ground, the chippy octogenarian said: "You look like a greek rapist. Why don't you and your shitty dictaphone just go and DO one".
Palace currently have a free weekend, having fallen at the first hurdle in the FA Cup against fellow strugglers Everton.

They are a middling PL team so there is always a very good chance they could beat us.
It all seriousness, just for a moment, it's a big decision for a talented footballer at that age. A real crossroads in what is a short career. What do you do? Live in a dreary, depressing town where it forever feels like 1983 and that 'real life' is happening elsewhere, in the hope that one day you’ll get spotted and plucked from perpetual misery? Or alternatively do you stay at Blackburn for another season?

Imagine he is looking at this seasons young players who have barely featured and when they do the manager throws them under the bus.

Who cares, life is too short and we mustn't let the opportunity to rub it in their faces pass by.

100% this, all this we shouldn’t, I’ve been getting crap for years by Palace fans and for supporting Brighton, I’m loving every minute of it and giving back out all I’ve taken. Yes, they could beat us, but I’m not about to sit politely in the corner just in case.
Up the Albion, we’re living the dream!
They must be shitting themselves that Liverpool will poach Hodgson.
I remember about 20 years ago, the fanzine One More Point (or it might have been Eagle Eye) had a cover advertising for new rivals as we had not had the pleasure of playing you for several years and you seemed to be on a downward spiral. I am sure at the current rate of progress, you may end up putting out a similar advert for new rivals. Perhaps we should draw lots to see who should ask Crawley to be rivals...
Just out of curiosity, if not Palace, who would Brighton consider as their rivals?

older Brighton fans would perhaps say Portsmouth but ultimately their main rivalry is with Southampton of course. In my lifetime we've only been in the same league as them a few times so I can't say I'm that fussed about them. Only bugbear was growing up with Meridian/South Today and them and Southampton getting all the attention
certainly not Crawley as we've never been in the same division as them
ultimately no one is the answer
