Liverpool getting all the goals out of their system this week ahead of our trip there
I'll settle for 4 right now.
4-1 again maybe, looks okay when you review the season.
I hate having that sinking feeling as soon as the starting whistle goes.

Steve Bruce is out of work - you can only hope!

I have no doubt he’d do a better job than OGS

And the quality of players is the same
So whoever Newcastle bring in is going to make Newcastle fly up the table? Can we get back to this in January when whoever it is has had a couple of months in charge?

It’s one of my hatreds of the prem. I want to watch Brighton be in a game of football on a fairly even ish playing field - last night was just not worth watching really. Saturday will prob be the same. The odd time, mainly with no or little fans or some luck you get something but you have 3 with so much more than others - another 4 or 5 with stupid money who are still starting each game with a huge advantage. Soon to add in Newcastle too. ****s me off!

Still a decent amount, about 70-80%, in the stadium on 75 mins. I can’t imagine the Amex, or indeed many stadia, would be much more than 50-60% full if we were 0-5 with 10 men against Palace on a Sunday evening!

If you can’t afford the World’s best players the next best thing is to watch your team go toe to toe with them. I bloody loved the second half yesterday and yes I do know that City had taken their foot off the pedal but I’d rather lose a few games like that and be as good as 2/3rds of the division than drop to the Championship. As long as we look like we belong in most games I’ll take PL football over winning more games in the lower league.
Sad that any Albion fan can be disappointed with where we are in any way at all imo

Not sure them saying the ‘vast majority’ stayed was accurate. Half of it is theres so many day trippers who just want to watch the full game - the amount filming by the tunnel as the players came out was embarrassing. Including the Liverpool team ffs
That said, I’m sure the Amex would empty a fair bit if we were 5-0 down after 55 mins or whatever.

Not a all disappointed - I just think there’s a lot in the prem league for clubs like us who have been there in all the divisions not to like. I loved the 2nd half too. But I’d rather watch Albion win v Leyton Orient in div 2 than lose 4-1 to one of the worlds best teams cherry picked at £50mil+ per player - per squad member nearly. Just my opinion - I now it’ll never get better than this in the bigger picture.

Nope and whoever Manchester United bring in is also not going to make them fly since the club is rotten from the inside out. Moyes, LVG, Mourinho, OGS.. they can keep hiring and sacking managers like they're changing underwear but ultimately nothing will change unless they appoint someone useful in the DA role. Overpaid, lazy wankers like Pogba and Ronaldo think they are bigger than the club and no manager (and that DEFINITELY inclues Steve Bruce) is going to change that.

Except, other than the Coutinho Amex game, the Albion always give Liverpool plenty of problems, not sure why.
ManC with the £1b spend are the ones who make the most of that colossal financial advantage, routinely swatting aside ‘teams like Brighton’ when they have 11 men. Don’t enjoy those fixtures one bit, I agree with you about the ££££ chasm.
Esp if it were palace we were 0-5 down too.

Fair play to the thousands that stayed as you say, but I wonder how many of those who stayed were tourist types

Going by the mass iPhone filming even after the final whistle, an awful lot.
Hard to envisage Albion supporters filming CP players after a home derby defeat.
