So there I am watching the half time show on NBC Sports when up pops a photo of two upstanding Seagull supporters here in the USA. One in a red T-shirt the other in a blue 1901 t. :bowdown:

So we are only 3 points off of the relegation zone as it stands, 2 if saints get a point tomorrow, getting really bloody close

EXCITING though, isn’t it?

Time for the players to stand up and be counted...

We really need to start treating every fixture like a Cup Final from now.

3 points at Leicester is possible. We need it. Our boys need to fight for it.

They will be fighting, I have no doubts about it, no dodgy refs decisions against us would be a bonus. Depends which Leicester turns up as well, hopefully the good one this afternoon though.

It was double figures a few months ago

Yeah, but we knew we’d probably get naff all from most of Dec, Jan and Feb (look at the tracker). We’re about where we ‘should’ be (in fact a bit ahead). All things being equal, 4 very winnable home games left......win 3, or poss even 2 of them and we’ll be ok.

The three dodgy 1-0 wins earlier in the season when we didn’t really deserve them did us a massive favour.

Could not agree more. But will they? Sadly, I have little faith in their mental strength when playing away from home. The form of the last 2 years has been so poor, though one accepts that it is hard to garner points away from home for teams like the Albion in the PL. But surely not as few as we have managed.

Another for me, contentious point, Wolves player gets his shot off, player has committed late, after the shot, pen given. I think the ref has made up for his earlier mistake... hang on another pen. Outside the box, refs are an absolute shambles. Missed pen, justice.

Now ref gives Bournemouth a penalty that was marginally outside the box. But they missed it anyway.

I remember one of those at Withdean, a foul on Elphick ? (outside the box) and the ref gives a pen that Bournemouth didn’t miss..

I've just looked and you are right. Every team above us has gained more points away from home than us. I assume this is one of the reasons CH has gone 433. We have played better away this season but not better enough to win/ been unlucky.

Dodgy ref decisions? This weekend is totally littered with ref f'ck ups.
