6th. to 8th. then, come Monday night - and we have the slight disadvantage of having to play last and potentially play catch-up.

So, wins for Palace, Wolves (although a draw there wouldn't be unpalatable) and win or draw for West Ham pleaase. And of course, no nonsense upsetting the form book from Everton!

Gonna be weird seeing a Saturday 3pm televised on Sky. Have to think we might start to see the blackout lifted more.

As there are no other west midland teams, this Is a local derby for Wolves, so hopefully they can pick themselves up and win.

I am expecting no less.

In the meaningless lower mid table clash, it'll be fun to see if Frankie boy can continue his magnificent winless run.

If Chelsea carry on as they are until the end of the season, they'll actually owe Graham Potter a debt of thanks for keeping them up.

They probably should have kept Potter, and with Winstanley's recruiting nous, cleared out as much of the toxic deadwood as possible in the summer and start building an identifiable, united and competitive team. I think that was Boehly's plan - and TBF it wasn't a bad one. De Zerbi is doing a great job for us, but there is a lot of aftertiming on here about Potter - we were actually playing some decent football under him before RDZ arrived and took it on further.
Unfortunately for Boehly, he didn't reckon with entitled Chelsea fans. Many of them were grizzling from the start about the insult to them of having to put up with a no-mark from Brighton (FFS!) not a mega-superstar that was their right - and their continuous howls of rage eventually made Boehly lose hs nerve and sack Potter.
His decision to 'solve' the problem and appease the fans by down-grading to Lampard is a disaster though!

As well as Spurs, Villa, Liverpool dropping points it would also be good for us to see Newcastle and Man U lose or draw to make them more vulnerable.

I think it's all going to come together on Monday evening, everyone will have an "on" day and we're going to smash shed loads past Everton. 2 for Undav as a minimum and Solly will score also, so a minimum of 3-0 to us. I'm expecting a record score. Bring em on.

Trouble with Potter is he thought he was the bollocks RDZ has shown him up massively he’s took his squad and supercharged it into a slight but possible chance of top four finish in less than a season. No little Brighton history lessons required from RDZ he would just say we weren’t good enough and need to improve.

Oh FFS. all this after-timing Potter was crap rubbish. He wasn't - he was doing pretty well, and most of us - apart from a few weird Potter-haters - were disappointed when he left, and worried that we'd lost a good manager that we wouldn't easily be able to replace.

The fact that RDZ came in and took us onwards and upwards doesn't alter history!

Bournemouth v Chelsea - come on you pluck little fukkas, you can win this.
Citeh v Leeds - do 'em over good and proper Citeh.
Tottenham v Palace - pass the sick bag. Ideally lots of niggly injuries and cards. Tottenham to batter them and a late OG from Kane please.
Wolves v Villa - come on Wolves.
Liverpool v Brentford - anything but a home win please.
Newcastle v Arsenal - I'm right up The Arse for this.
West Ham v ManUre - come on you Irons. Kick the fukk out of them too.
Fulham v Leicester - whatever.
Forest v Saints - Away win to keep it interesting please.

You've got a direct line to the God of football, and that's what you're wishing for? Can't you wish for a Wolves win or something?
