Brighton are the only team with a 100% record in live televised Saturday 3pm kick offs (In the UK)
Arsenal are the only team with a 0% record in live televised Saturday 3pm kick offs (In the UK)
Alexis Mac Allister is the first 5th substitute in PL history to be involved in a winning goal (probably - haven't watched the others)

Any more?

Jake Humphrey is the only c*** to be shown on TV before the watershed

Guendouzi is the only David Luiz look alike to be more annoying than the person he aspires to look like.

Graham Potter is the only person to have managed both a Swedish and an English team to victory over Arsenal on at least three occasions.

Lowest gate at the Amex.

First two might be a big call with the new Mickey Mouse cup - I guess they are technically competitive and could well be below 300 gates in some of them. Although U21 so difficult call.

Just waiting for 'the first Albion game I've not seen at the Amex' there must be one or two who will be claiming this.

I saw something this morning about Arsenal being unbeaten in 3pm Satuday kick offs for 23 somethings. (I think games, may have been months).

Barring the apocalypse going into overdrive again, surely we will always hold the record for the longest a team has gone without a win in a calendar year?

Nope. Imagine someone really shit going the whole second half of a season winless, going down and then not winning till December. Of course they’d probably have to be owned by a lying DIY magnate who hates football

Brighton’s first double over Arsenal?

Certainly is. We haven't played Arsenal that many times over the years.

I remember the hammerings that they used to dish out to us home and away back in the early 80s.

Although we beat them twice at home in the league in 1982.

Actual facts / tenuous records:
- First GP Premier League game where we've come back to win after going behind
- Latest winning goal we've scored in the Premier League at the Amex
- First Albion 'double' over a 'Top 6 side' (haha) in the Prem
- First Saturday night on NSC after a home game where no-one's moaned about the support (though if I look hard enough maybe somebody has)
