[Albion] The Fag End Of The Season

[A1X]

Another incentive would be to finish above Palarse and in fairness to them that has not been the case for quite some time.

Well there we go, someone said it out loud. So we can all wave goodbye to that now...

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Not yet they haven't.

Quite right actually, although came very close to promotion to the old Division One back in the day. Give it time though.

Geography not your strongest point? I mean it's your Yeovil who is your real Worzel innit?

Though maybe not now they have departed the Football League.

No, I’m very good on geography - it’s just that anything west of Bournemouth is south west England and therefore full of cider drinkers, barmaids who say “yes my lovely”, everyone goes “ooh arrh”, pretty cows in the field and the village idiot sitting on the five bar gate.

All the above is of course tongue in cheek if I move the piece of straw from my mouth.

Just can't be positive for this one, the 9 wins stat seems to haunt us, one season we got our ninth in march then went 10 games without a win or something like that although I think we'll get 2 draws, one at wolves tomorrow and west ham end of season

Shirley its a good time to play Manure and about time we beat some in the top half at home. And West Ham, come on, they never beat us...

Man United look like a shower of of shit at present, everyone must be wanting to take them on?

I’d like to see some of the better U23s given a few minutes.

Potter in those press conferences that everyone on NSC likes to say are "boring" and "pointless" - he was asked this very question this week.

In Hughton's 2nd PL season we had our 9th win of the season away to Palace in March on game 29 and then only secured 3 points in the next 9 games.
Three draws from Wolves (A), Arsenal (A) and Newcastle (H). And Defeats to Southampton (H), Chelsea (A), Bournemouth (H), Cardiff (H), Spurs (A), Man City (A) to finish 17th.
Cardiff who finished 18th actually had 10 wins that season but fewer draws and 9 defeats out of the last 12 including a 3-2 defeat to Palace sent them down instead of us.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I'll take 13th now, and would not be disappointed with it. Given it would be the club's highest finish, why would you?

Equal highest finish

 

[BBassic]

It's a narrow view but looking at goals scored / conceded by us and Wolves:

Brighton: 31 scored / 42 conceded
Wolves: 33 scored / 29 conceded

Would say tomorrow probably isn't going to be a goalfest.

Interestingly only Burnley (29) and Norwich (22) have scored fewer goals than us.

I know nothing about football.

Fact.
