And they beat the CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE just before that...
To make this thread even worse, CONGRATULATORY isn't even spelt correctly in the title!

NSC never fails to make me smile.
Judging by the tone of your post,.... I find it difficult to see anything at all that would make you smile.

Jesus, that put's it into perspective
Who would of thought THAT on those rainy, miserable away days to northern outposts like Scunthorpe not so many years ago........
Been an amazing week to be a BHA fan. Correct to 'milk it'
Yep, feck anyone who doesn’t like it imo. That really was gutters to the stars stuff, we have not hit these heights before since Hereford. If you can’t enjoy it because you were anti the manager a few games ago, that is your problem surely.
“One swallow”, “we’re not safe yet” etc might be correct but I am loving what we’ve achieved recently. Well aware that it could turn to shit again, but I’ll worry about it when it happens not now. Hey, just maybe it won’t happen and the corner is turned and that’s my mindset at the moment
My old body is aching in these damp winter conditions, the Albion winning in style are a big upside to it

“NSC never fails to make me smile. ”
And that’s why we love it ! ........We are either over the moon or sick as a parrot, as the saying goes.
Of course, now we have beaten Spurs and Liverpool it will be shocking if we don’t win every game left .
Smile sometimes but other times grit your teeth and shake your head, but still love it!!
I think we are.... couple of contrary folk on here like to be different but I’ve loved it of late.

NSC has been absolutely brilliant since we beat Liverpool.
All the negative, moany, miserable gloom and doom which was polluting thread after thread has been swept away.
We're doomed. We just can't seem to put teams to bed. One nil wins are not acceptable. Potter out.

Ever since about 10pm on Wednesday evening this board has become awash with thread after thread, post after post, from anyone and everyone with a Brighton bias, pretty much claiming that we are now better than Barcelona.
A few improving performances including two straight wins has seen Graham Potter instantly promoted from villain to hero, and claims that pretty much our entire playing staff should be shoe ins for their national sides.
Ok so l exaggerate wildly, and yes, our performances do seem to be on the up, but doubtless defeat at Burnley on Saturday will see those very people we have been holding higher than the Pope brought crashing down to Earth again.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
I was thinking about Gus this morning. I've been watching the Albion for 54 years and he's the only other manager that we've had who's completely transformed the playing style of the team.
There are two big differences though. First of all, it's a lot easier to transform a team in the third tier than it is in the top one - there's certainly not such a big gap between top and bottom teams for one thing, and there's less media pressure for another.
Secondly, Poyet transformed the team but was making doe eyes at every Tom, Dick and Reading while he was doing it. The fans all knew he just saw us a stepping stone. I certainly don't get that sense from Potter; I feel like he's genuinely signed up for the project. And that's why I wasn't too bothered when we were failing to win, we were always going in the right direction.

Blimey. We have our best away win in years and a fellow fan gets the needle because a fans forum allows itself to get a little giddy after weeks of gloom.
I bet you're fun at parties. Mizzog.
The very fact we still talk about the Forest game the Liverpool league win and 2 cup ones. Comparing results. Arsenal last season, the double. It proves the tag "little clubs like us". To other supporters our euphoria at beating Liverpool might appear to be over the top but we are fledglings still at the top table. I think that many of the previous wins were more astounding given that we do now have a far more competitive squad and the margins, apart from the values attributed, and the quality of the players are closer.
