Indeed. From League One to moaning about not being safe from relegation in the PL with 15 points left to play for in just 10 years, quite remarkable.

Just because we have been on a remarkable journey doesn't mean we shouldn't want that journey to carry on. Perhaps if we got relegated two season in a row we shouldn't have the right to moan as we would be where we started. We have been in the Prem for four seasons now and it is highly likely to be 5. Brighton never progress on the pitch easily (two seasons to get out of league 1 and 6 season out of Championship 4 of which were concerted efforts of promotion) hopefully our aim of becoming a top 10 team starts to progress very soon (on the pitch). That doesn't make anyone ungrateful or appreciate where we are,just want to continue our journey forward.

Yeye the whole "I'm absolutely not demanding anything and I'm absolutely not ungrateful... I'm just moaning loudly about things I think should be achieved but isnt"... "I'm happy with what I got, hence on a daily expressing my disappointment in not having more" carousel again. Want the cookie and eat it too.

Do you know what. Palace and Southampton have 3 more wins than Brighton this season yet 4 and 2 points above us. The only thing I want at this stage is to win more. Winning is important. I'm not asking for something outrageous. I'm not ungrateful for being in the Prem and my hopes for the future match that of the people who run this club. Even Maupay in todays paper admits he is not happy with where we are. Potter has said we need more wins in the past. so why am I the one in the wrong and these people within the club aren't?

The 13 people that voted for us :facepalm:

It's so improbable that we are going down that it is borderline impossible.

We would have to go into the worst form literally in decades, certainly in our time in the Premier League, and even then we would most likely stay up as Fulham are unlikely to get the 8 points they need.

We will OBVIOUSLY pick up some points from the remaining games. If you genuinely think we're going down, perhaps this is an opportunity to reflect that you are overly negative beyond any kind of rationality?

[emoji106]

Come on, if anyone here genuinely thinks we’re going down, don’t be shy let’s see those betting slips.

Look, I’m definitely not relaxing yet. And will be quite happy to see Fulham lose now. But it would be an unreal turn around if we were to go down from this position.

Hopefully we beat the dirty Leeds on Saturday and we can all relax.

The debacle against Sheffield Utd just cuts out some of our safety net.

If Chelsea don't turn up against Fulham it could all look very grim.

Fulham will beat Chelsea, I'm kind of hoping Newcastle/Fulham is the game of the season and we're irrelevant by that point. . .But Saturdays performance from GP and the players has cast a shadow.

Not that grim.

And Chelsea have Champ league spot to play for.

Don't stress it

Its going to be Fulham & WBA.

No idea how many points Brighton are going to pick up, could be anything between 0 and 9, but I'm certain Fulham and WBA wont find the necessary points.

I'm the opposite.

Sometimes you do see these late season flurries of a team deep in trouble, so I wouldn't bet against one of them getting a few wins and going unbeaten. I just think we'll get a couple of wins as well.

May I be so bold as to ask which 3 games you think will Fulham win from these?

Chelsea
Burnley
Southampton
Man Utd
Newcastle

I can see them getting something from Southampton and possibly Newcastle (if Saint-Maximin does not play) but that is a huge ask. Where is the 3rd win?

There will be unpredictable results still.

There will and it will be very unpredictable indeed - astonishing in fact - if Albion lose their next 5 games which is the only way they will be within a chance of getting relegated.

I was in pessimistic mood. I'd forgotten briefly how good Fulham have been at messing things up. It was more a case of potentially they have 3 winnable games in Southampton, Burnley and Newcastle. Reality is I can quite easily see them getting no points as well

Even if we don't pick up any more points (lets face it we are draw specialists so we'll probably snatch a draw from the jaws of defeat at least a couple of times).

Fulham will do really well, like really ****ing well, to win two and draw one of these games. We will still be ahead of them on goal difference.

Not saying it is totally out of the question but some weird ****ing shit has got to happen for us to go down.

Actually the way this season has gone . . . we're ****ed. :eek::eek:

Even the level of unpredictability is unpredictable. That's how unpredictable this whole season is

I reckon there's nobosy up and down the country (apart from a few tv companies who have to try to keep things interesting) talking about the possibility that we get relegated

Ive invested in Crypto and support the Albion - Why do I do this to myself? Is life not hard enough?

This weekend the sun was shinning, we can now go out and shop or go to a pub and everything seems just better SO why not let my crypto tank and Brighton loose a certain win to balls everything up???
