In London on work nearest pub to hotel is The Sussex Arms - I feel an omen coming on.
I've noticed that there's comparatively little coverage of us on the radio networks. They're forever banging on about Newcastle, Leeds and even Huddersfield. To be honest, I quite like it. Slip under the radar (as much as a Championship leading club can, obviously)...

I keep thinking it could be 3-0 either way, then I think the ref is going to give them a dodgy penalty then we might miss a penalty then we could have a bit of a blip but then I think no way the pressure is on them we'll do them tonight! Jesus Christ!

Hopefully up until the final whistle? I would rather be 3 -0 up with 10 mins to go

I just hope all the hype doesn't turn into rash decisions on the pitch or we will fall apart.
The players should try and stay calm and play to their strengths.

I tweeted my Seagulls (and Seahawks) supporting mate in Seattle to let him know the game is on in the states. He said he's on the East coast this week so the time difference shouldn't be too bad and thanked me for the heads up.
The world is watching this one.
Don't need to water the pitch but it says the rain will hold off for the game:

Gawd knows what train to a catch though.

I would not call it hype about this one. Not OTT. Ticket demand almost unequalled for an Albion home game? Think of a game when home and away was sold out a month before KO. There have been at least two, probably more?
Checked my season ticket and put the TV on record. Now just cook the pancakes.

Sat did take the pressure off a little, so a draw tonight would be ok. If Shelvey is "at it" he could run the game ... or he could get sent off.
Personally, I'd take a draw now, but it really ought to be a good game of footie, all things considered. At least we can put our strongest team out, so no excuses for a lacklustre display.

Just hoping for no red cards or injuries. It could be a boring and feisty 0-0 or someone sneak a goal playing badly, or could very well turn into a 4-3.
Will be watching 3:45am local time, just got to decide whether to get a few hours sleep in first or a few beers

This morning I listened to The Football Ramble podcast.
One of the 4 presenters being 'Castle fan Pete Donaldson.
They had, what was for them, a long look at the Championship, but didn't mention either the Albion or Newcastle.
The pattern is talk up Newcastle when they are on top, stay silent when the Albion are.
How can you have a division review without mentioning 1st v 4th?
