Bit easier against a team that do not challenge you. I think this season we have missed an awful lot of decent chances from corners, at least once every game Duffy gets a free header. At least once he game he tries to destroy the ball with his head and puts it over.

I was thinking more of the clever routines, for example the free kick in the first half where Izquierdo just shot wide(and was incorrectly flagged for offside).

You're right though it certainly helps if a team defends as risibly as Arsenal did in the first half.

Shocking refereeing takes the gloss off it. Stephens booked for a totally fair tackle, Kalasinac not booked for a shoulder charge that knocked Schelotto unconscious, Isqiuerdo given offside when he was a yard onside. Commentary team were absolutely scathing about the appalling decisions.

I'm hoping all this will be flagged up on MOTD tonight

Think that was partly because Arsenal were holding a ludicrously high line. I have not seen anyone defend free kicks like that since Leeds under fatty Evans, we destroyed them too. Credit where it is due though, as the players worked out what to do with a peculiar way of defending free kicks.

I think they are going to give February Manager of the month to Klop. Looks like Hughton knows this and he is going after the award in March.

In the first half that 2-1 scoreline flattered Arsenal. They couldn't have complained if they had gone in 3 or 4 behind. Until the 42nd minute that is!

Doesn't matter. We got the three points.

Fantastic performance , best of the season for me.

On a side note did anyone see the Arsenal suns warming up at half time, they were awful, couldn’t pass looked uninterested I thought it was shocking and disrespectful to the Arsenal fans.

I'm quite happy to see Arsenal fans unhappy. I know quite a few and they are all cocks. Doesn't mean all Arsenal fans are cocks, just every one that I know are. Thanks Albion for adding to their week of woes.

We got away with that, Jurgen should have been on for Murray.

Yes Trig, would be been nice to see how the Arsen all defence dealt with him, and to keep the ball in their end.

I work with two arsenal fans (who have seen more Brighton games than arsenal games this season) so I'm really looking forward to work tomorrow
