[Albion] Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

Some of those ‘last 14’ are from last season.

Hope I’ve not been wooshed

You are both correct. The Top 10 includes Brentford, Villa and Fulham but not Chelsea, Nothing to see here. We have only won 2 of the games against the current Top 10 this season but our results against the teams quoted including last season are also correct.

Odds were evenly split, but ours have shortened and we're now (very slight) favourites

Away to Champions League regulars, and we're favourites - WTF is happening?

You remember when we used to sing "we're f***ing brilliant"? It turns out it wasn't hyperbole, just a prophesy.

Yes. Although we're loose today obvs.

I think we all know this deep down in our souls and this is why I have chosen to celebrate today's victory before the game. Now I don't need to worry about Kane and his cheating.

Along with ’it‘s just like watching Brazil’….not QUITE there yet, but we’re closer to Brazil than Bradford….

Was it Bradford? I thought it was Barnsley. But then I am very old.

I'm too nervous about today. Usually this would be a free hit, but with the hope of Europe it no longer feels that way.

Retro pub will be showing it.

A win today would be huge for two reasons IMO:

1) I think we need five more wins and maybe a draw or two to finish in the top 7 and thus Europe so a win here would be a big step towards that.

2) Spurs might have eyes on the Champions league and we might wistfully dream of it but realistically neither of us are getting it. We can however drag them into the fight for the minor European places. That would give us 5th-7th to aim for rather than just 6th or 7th.

Also, it would just be nice in general to win. I like winning, it's fun.

I thought Solly had his best ever game in a Brighton shirt today, fully deserved his hat-trick.

 

[Taybha]

I so want us to win this one,a winning goal scored from a corner yes a corner in the 95th minute will keep me smiling all weekend and some.

 

[Seagull58]

Hoping Kane has had his card marked by the ref following his awful playacting last time out but it's almost certainly a forlorn hope and the ref will happily hand over his whistle and comms kit so that Harry can ref the game.

I thought our young Irish striker bagging a hat-trick against Spurs was a thing of the past!

Strongest team (ish) . Ferguson / Wellbeck debate notwithstanding. I can see why he wants to start with experience.

Thought Welbeck would come back in today. Really sensible management of Ferguson.
