Unfortunately nothing to see here, just the usual old dross we are used to. I am going our this afternoon so my phone will be off between 2 & 4pm. All I ask is that we don’t go into the game against the Rags with two defeats.

Referee: Darren England
Assistants: Scott Ledger, Akil Howson
Fourth official: Simon Hooper
VAR: Paul Tierney
Assistant VAR: Nick Greenhalgh

And the rest…

I reckon we'll get a point in a scoring draw (going for 2-2), Spurs showed last week that City are still vulnerable at the back and we won't keep missing good chances...will we?

This next game could be season-defining. These are a good side.

These have 115 problems and the pitch ain’t one.

Lots of interesting stats (plus some weird ones). Citeh have five consecutive clean sheets in away EPL games.

Regardless of the outcome City fans ultimately know they were given a new stadium and have totally bought success and while they’ll celebrate at the time deep down they’ll look at clubs like Albion who are possibly the best example and think I wish we’d grown as a club through hard smart work and not oil money, that will always sting. Bournemouth, Brentford, and even Wolves who have transformed their club over the years deserve a mention also for pulling themselves up.

Not expecting much today if Fabian remains stubborn with his starting 11 but you never know.

A perfect example of how the medias portrayal of us is lapped up as gospel. Really don't get this media obsession of how greatly Brighton are run as a football club. They are a selling club who have won fuck all in their entire history and never will

The same Brighton who would be nowhere without the aid of the loans from the chairman and suchlike. They can argue that they are within the "rules" as the PL cannot sanction them without doing the same for the Arse and that's not going to happen. Fuck them, small minded twats
