Very excited.....but then again I was very excited before every match last season,
so I am not so much a bell weather as a bell end.

Enjoy the ride you never know when it'll be time to get off 
We'd lose all best players the following season.

Disrespectful to the other team to score that many goals in a Champion League final. I wouldn't blame the players for leaving. I would hope the manager gets the sack too.

I'm a "taking it one game at a time" excited.
But then, a 3pm KO on Saturday is exciting enough...

There was quite a bit of damage done last season what with Sami running the show and Burke and his barmy recruitment.
CH is repairing that damage and are crowds are still very good but will get even better as the season progresses.

Even the most ardent could be forgiven for taking a break after the antics of last season and it may need another few weeks to get their optimism back.
I'm thinking our crowds have held up pretty well.

Well what a thread this is.
I was quite looking forward to the game, I won't deny that. Then I read this thread. Bozza is not a man prone to excessive Albion-related excitement, and indeed I believe has suffered a significant loss of Albion Mojo at times in recent seasons.
But it appears that the Dear Leader's mojo is well and truly back. Ladies & gentlemen: if Bozza is getting excited about this, then we must ALL get excited.

As always, as you will guess, since you see me every home game, I am absolutely shitting it. My stomach has been churning all afternoon, and I won't sleep well tonight. I have been following the Albion since 1969, and as each year passes, especially recently, the smell of possible full phoenix rebirth (as a prem club, with full status as a proper club with cudos and expectations), the tension mounts and mounts. I absolutely loved the glory and drama of Plymouth away (promoted), Port Vale away (Championes), the playoff final, but the failures have been crushing. Actually, hang on, I am talking bollocks again. Yes I am shitting it about tomorrow, but basically it has all been fabulous. Shitting it is part of life, and part of life as an Albion supporter. All I need to do is learn to love the diarrhoea.....

It makes me feel so much better knowing that I am not the only person who continually stares at the table in a comatosed stupor.

With you on the last point.
I do think CH will start with Murphy, as he's fresh, whereas SM and LR have played two games in the last week, and LR had dead legs. So, not only am I excited about tomorrow, I'm excited at the prospect of the exciting option you identify.
Murphy is exciting because he's direct, and so willing to carry the ball. March has been underrated by many on here, mainly for his lack of composure in the early part of the season. He's been far more composed in the last three games. Which is exciting.
Would love to see Murphy and Solly start. Real statement of intent.

Solly March came in for a bit of flack, but that seems to have disappeared now.

Drove over from Somerset on Tuesday with my grandson who has done nothing but talk about how good a game it was to watch. Even my wife commented that there was a lot of goalmouth action and she normally notices what's happening in the crowd more than what's on the pitch. She even says she's looking forward to tomorrow.
I'm in the Hughton camp. On reflection I agree it was a good game for a neutral to enjoy but as an Albion fan I'd far sooner a "dull" 3-0 with our goal remaining unthreatened throughout.
Just know it ain't gonna happen though!

From the BBC:-
Brighton have scored once in their last five meetings with Preston, a Marlon Broomes own goal in August 2004. The last Brighton player to score in this fixture was Steve Sidwell during a loan spell from Arsenal in November 2002.
