Yes I know you did, when you were a club worthy to be our rivals Not now tho', you are a club who needs top flight football before anyone will watch you.

The club you've chosen is a much large club than us. A club that has been out of the PL for ONE season since its inception. One that is able to spend 10s of millions, one with much higher turnover than us. In short, a much bigger club.
And stop using the word 'failure' People aren't 'willing' to accept it, but we are able to see things for what they are - and that is NOT failure. It may be to you, but you may have incredibly high standards in life and see things in black and white - many do not.

Eh, I remember Newcastle in the second division playing in front of 15000 crowds in the 80's and Brian Wade scoring 4 against them at the Goldstone, but anyway, that's not the point either. The point is Brighton have never lived up to its potential, well not since Charlie Web listed the Charity Shield in 1910 ! I will use the word failure, its stark, right and apt. They have bottled it in the last six weeks and I want to see Garcia show us that he wont accept failure or bottlers. We want to win and we want a set of players who understand they have to earn the right (as the BBC say) to play in front of big crowds.

We are not in the old top flight as you call it , the names of the divisions were changed, we are in the 2nd division get used to it,meanwhile Palace and Southampton who we trounced in league 1 are in the premier league because there management understand what is required to get there

3rd - don't you mean 4th as there were three teams that went up and no play-offs? Of course, if it hadn't been for the stitch up between Saints and Spurs...

Think we finished about 5th year after cup final as well
All you ever do is bang on about how the players need to earn this and earn that and how failure isn't an option and how we should be better than this and better than that and that they need to show more desire and prove the are worthy etc etc etc, yet you can't even be arsed to go and watch. So I don't really see how your opinion is valid.

Don't believe we have a right to beat teams but I do have an expectation that the players are capable of rising to the occasion. Clearly I'm wrong, but I do have the expectation.
It really is about time you learnt to speak your native language. It's really not that hard, and people might actually listen a bit more to the constant stream of drivel that you spout.
You gotta love a " how far we have come thread"
An honest and accurate post.
