Play today, suffer later. I agree they could be very proud and happy... and also very worried because there is very little that indicates it will get any better than this.

And Manure and ManC.
I expect Tony and co. Have long had a plan for relegation, as it’s always a realistic possibility for a club at our stage of development.
It’s probably the reason why we’re so strong on being self sufficient, reluctant to break wage policy and why most of are signings are for the long term.

What does covid have to do with us getting relegated?
If you look at the money spent and the fact that the club were transitioning from one style to another, its probably had more impact on Brighton than most of the other teams, both when it comes to selling unwanted players and signing one or two additional key names to the squad.

I get that Potter can do no wrong in your eyes but do you really think Covid has impacted us any more than the other teams in the bottom half?
Yes but they are Burnley in 2021... maybe this IS as good as it gets. I grew up having massive respect for them. They were a top side. Coates, Newton and Kindon to name a few.
So it doesn’t get any better than this Swansman.... a town smaller in population than Eastbourne, Worthing or Crawley have to mix it up and go direct sometimes......

Really weak chiteh side Pep has put out- even more likely Fulham get something
Of course he can, everyone is doing the wrong things sometimes. Even you.
And yes, I think so (aside for the newcomers).
Weak... maybe by their standards but pretty much all of them would walk in to Fulhams starting eleven (or Brighton for that matter).

And why is that? I'm not being facetious. Just as far as I can see, all the teams would be impacted the same.

Fair play to Burnley tonight. At least they seem to have the ability to occasionally score more than 1 goal in a game.
Musical chairs between us, Newcastle, and Fulham. When the music stops who will it be ?

Genuinely, I’ve felt for ages that Burnley would not be part of the final showdown. Dyche simply what to do to win enough games.
[This opinion is completely independent of GP, not a comparison].
Fulham will get also results with that defence.
It’s a mini contest between Newcastle and us, imho.

Everton - Champions League? You're having a laugh.
Burnley aren't going anywhere.. It's 1 from 3.

A colossal £600m spent, an Italian lauded coach who’s won everything, yet each game it’s high balls and relentless corners to Calvert, Richarlison, Holgate and Keane. One dimensional.

..... and what did this one dimensional high balls and corners outfit do to us, remind me?
Thats not the case though, as can be seen in the transfer window of the summer. Most of the teams, with some exceptions, invested lots of money in their squad. Others have had their manager for several years building a squad according to the needs and wants of that manager. Brighton had more investement needs and obviously less money to invest (or the new striker wouldnt have been recruited from some lost & found box).
They all love playing this Albion. Fact.
