I may be doing Lewis a disservice, if indeed he's been a victim of our injury crisis and hasn't been playing at 100%, but I did some stats on another thread 3 games ago and the data ain't great when he's started, so I've updated them. Appreciate it's a team game, it's not all on one player...

The last The last paragraph wasn't directed at you or others that are disappointed with 11th - I'd be disappointed with 11th but moving forward I'm very optimistic, it's how others react, there's a big difference between not jumping for joy and relentless nonsense posted ad infinitum by...

You can dice up the numbers any way you want to suit an agenda but at the end of the day we are not in danger of relegation this season, so for whatever reason, as long as there is a sense of optimism (obviously split on this board!) we go again next season. Everything is relative is a great...

If people's expectations are above those of the Board, then the sentiment will be one of huge disappointment and some, based on their postings on here, may resort to self harm ;) If people are aligned with the Board, we move on to next season with a sense of excitement :D

Are we not currently Top 10? A lot of this comes down to interpretation - our target is to become an established Top 10 Club in the EPL - I interpret "established" to be over a number of years and that also means that some years we may not achieve Top 10, otherwise the wording should be...

Mine was a general comment not aimed at anybody in particular. Most of the nonsense revolves around factual things, different expectations than those confirmed by the Board, assertions that we are the only team that don't pick up points against the bottom six etc... Also there are examples of...

From a personal perspective, yes it's disappointing that we've had plenty of opportunities to gain more points and I do get the "what if". But equally there have been highs where we've got 3 points or a decent draw from bad positions against opposition we apparently shouldn't be entitled to take...

"That we haven't achieved either of the stretch means we haven't overall performed at best." That's totally dependent on how you define what a stretch target actually is - if by not reaching it, we haven't performed at our best, then by definition we have to be at our best to attain a stretch...

Bournemouth lost at home to Ipswich Fulham drew at home to both Ipswich and Southampton This is NOT a Brighton specific thing, as much as you like to think it is, because it fits your agenda......

would that also be the same old chestnut of the games where we've got points from losing positions (Man City, Spurs as examples) which you may also be brushing under the carpet.......

I've always been the one to "take one for the team" 👍 I have my standards and I'm not raising them for anyone ✔️

I'd like Amanda Holden to cup my genitals before I fall off the perch - I suspect Brighton have a better chance of winning something than this 😜

Point is enjoy the moment, we are doing incredibly well within our constraints compared to other "bigger" teams. Plenty of smaller clubs have indeed one things and also some bigger ones, but where are they now? Hence the goal of becoming an established EPL team, not a spaff a load of cash to win...

It turns out that Ayari was actually thinking along the lines of "Pervis, why did you give away a penalty" :ROFLMAO: ;)

Oh dear :rolleyes:
