Well we are sort of going from “With all due respect (meaning f*** all respect), we should be beating teams like Brighton” to “Brighton are hard to beat at home but we should win comfortably”.
We are still in the default position of, if we win, then our opponents have had their worst game in thirty years and we (the Albion) were shit poor as well.
Never let respect and reality get in the way of ignorance and narrow mindedness. One day, maybe, opposition fans will concede and say “Brighton played really well and deserved the three points”.

Oddly enough, the one set of fans that did sort of say this were Palace!

Yea I agree, I really didn't expect that level of stroppiness from Everton. Thought they had a little more class about them as a club.
Manager came across as a whiney Arse. Most players the same with diving etc going on. I hate this "tactic" nowadays of an attack breaking down when a player is tackled (fairly) and then the other side counters, so said player stays down as though he's broken his leg. Then the now attacking team kicks it out and the ball makes its way back to the goalie. I like Pickford though, and it was nice that he got a small applause from the North Stand at the end of half time which he acknowledged.
And no one in the papers or match of the day has pointed out that Everton actually tried to play on themselves before March went on that run.
And the MK Seagulls was created!

A few posts on their forum moaning about how difficult it is getting away from the Amex....perhaps they could consider how crap it is watching from part of the away section at Goodison

Useless reporting. They even said Yerry Mina was their best player in the first half?
Not sure who saw it, but Andone put him on his arse with a cruncher early doors. His face was a picture. He didn't look angry though, he looked more like a kid whose balloon on a stick had just popped.. Trembly bottom lip job.
Andone let him know he was there, and he didn't look the same for the rest of the game. I like Andone - he plays like he wants to enter the field in a tank shouldering a bazooka aimed at their defenders.

Forget the lip job - more trembley bottom!

He did come across that way, and yet he has the look of a mafia boss, who would gladly order you and your wife to be stabbed to teach you some respect. He was top of my list of scariest looking managers, narrowly followed by the new chap at Southampton who looks as though he is itching for someone to spill his beer so that he can start a fight to start in the pub..

The more we smuggle on invisible players the better things will get.

It's inevitable really. Most established clubs and their fans still regard as lower league fodder playing above ourselves. We were the same ourselves once upon a time. I remember getting beat at Plough Lane, Wimbledon in 84 and it was mortifying, a couple of seasons after we'd been in the top tier, to lose to a team who'd only recently been non=league. The fact that they had the emerging team (Cork, Beasant) that won the FA Cup 3 seasons later passed us by.
The point is, it's still to our advantage that opposition teams see us this way. It's not about 'respect' for me (I hate that word: that and 'big club' are the most pointless phrases in football) it's about sending them home with a bloody nose!

Couldn’t agree more. I must admit I enjoy being a fan of the Premier League upstarts, especially when the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, West Ham and Everton have left with bloody noses.

Hanging around Brighton station around 6:30 after the game, we look up and Dominic Calvert Lewin is stood beside us with his (quite lovely) missus. My mate's 10 year old boy spots him and quietly sings 'Merry Christmas Everton' with a big s££t eating grin on his face. DCL makes eye contact with every one of us individually like he's sizing up for wading in, shakes his head, and leads his lady friend away. We sniggered like naughty schoolboys and congratulated our young companion with kudos a plenty. The look of contempt on DCL's face was priceless!
The Everton boss scarey? With his neatly trimmed side burns he looks like a narcissistic mediterranean chump. Drinks tiny coffees, I bet. Paolo Di Canio without the facism.

I could be persuaded that he is a down-on-his-luck PI with a failed marriage, battling addiction issues..
When my daughter was a mascot, Brighton had mix of mascots who were there for free and captain mascots who had paid. The free mascots were pick randomly, if you wanted to make sure your child got a chance you could pay. We were lucky and in a financial position to pay as my daughter was desperate to be a mascots and we got it as one of her Christmas presents. To this day she says it the best present she ever had she was 10 she now 16. It was a game against Reading and some of friends were in the away end. So for me it was worth it. I don’t know if Brighton still have this mix, I hope they do as it will give a child who may otherwise not get a chance a day to remember.
