Bit more tense than perhaps it should have been but fantastic result
Really? Ok the end of the first half wasn't ideal, but that's as relaxed as it gets for us.

Such has been the tension built up inside, I'm on the verge on crying.

Do peeps remember Hammers fans saying after we beat them earlier in the season ‘’ we shouldn’t get beaten by teams like Brighton’’...What now?

We met a West Ham fan whilst on holiday in December, who still smarting about our win, said it would never happen again. Said with arrogance about 'minnows who got lucky on the night' in his eyes.

From the BBC:
"Bong summed up Brighton's attacking endeavour. He touched the ball more than anyone else on the pitch. The left-back spent so much time attacking that 55 of his 78 touches came in the West Ham half. With Bong a constant outlet, 54% of Brighton's play came down the left side."
Did you see what he did with the ball? Ummm nothing. He panicked and sometimes passed the ball backwards or if he was feeling pretty adventurous, sideways. I'm sure West Ham were happy to let him have the ball in their half because he has nothing to offer in that area of the pitch. He played ok but technically, imo, he is so poor for this level.

For the record, I'm bloody delighted we won before people say "some people are never happy" etc. Thought we were great today.

I thought he had a good game but I know there are plenty of Bong haters out there who won’t want to give him any credit.

They have Newcastle Utd syndrome West Ham fans they seem to think their club are this massive club. It's lovely bringing them down to earth with a bump.

Did anyone else see Murray and Duffy have a go at each other after the Wet Sham goal? At the time it felt as though the spirit in the team was a bit off. Murray was excellent today, aggressive but not in nasty petulant way, more lets have a go at their back four.

Ulloa looked like he belonged, a true PL player with the confidence of being a (semi) regular at this level.

First half he told Knockaert to get up off the floor from their penalty area after Knocky had done an awful shot and flopped down.

Well I didn't get that feeling when watching, but then I wasn't specifically analysing him, so maybe I missed it :shrug:
