Bigger budget of what ? Wages ? Squad cost ?

Yes. But if you want to remind us of the draws then you also have to acknowledge that If we'd not beaten - all "pressure games" by your definition - City, Liverpool, United (twice), Newcastle (twice), Spurs (twice) , Chelsea (twice) then we'd have been below Palace and not a pen away from...

Well we get knocked out of the FA Cup. But were there no pressure games(Chelsea ? Newcastle ? ) leading up to the QF ? or no pressure games in the PL (we won 16 times ? ) . And weren't we expected to win v Southampton (A) - won, Ipswich (A) - won , Spurs (A) - won, Wolves (A) - won, Norwich...

Fair enough. He wouldn't have been "pushing" for Champions League - we're closer this year than we've ever been including in 22/23.. He'd have secured it then. !

Two more stats that support idea that FAB had a good season statistically. Resilience. Joint top of the table for points earned after going behind. and top of the table for subs with the most goal involvements.

We were 5 points off a Champions League spot this season.

Joint top of that table in 24/25.

We've won MOTD Goal of the Month 4 times since being in the PL. Mitoma has won it twice for Wolves (A) in 23/24 and Chelsea (H) in 24/25 - the best goal i've ever seen live i think - and Enciso won it in May 22/23. Both Mitoma and Enciso also won goal of the season . Remarkable stuff. but who...

Hurzeler had a better points per game record than RDZ in his first season 1.57 - P38 W16 D13 L9 RDZ in 22/23 was P32 W14 D7 L11 or 1.53

Incredibly Brighton have now missed 1 penalty in three seasons. And that was against Villa last season when Pedro headed the rebound. They've effectively scored 26 in a row. 26 !!!

Club and the Foundation do a lot of admirable public health campaigning - eg: PSA tests, Alzheimers, Fitness and Health sessions, well being and mental health - so protective steps and tactics to raise awareness of Skin Cancer i'd argue is no different. That does not = make sun cream free to...

No. Since Palace were promoted in 2013/14 they've finished between 10th and 15th every season since then. This season they will definitely finish no higher than 10th. FWIW and i know its a tiny comfort - we've now finished higher than them for the last 3 seasons out of 4.

We remained in the top 10 all season.

Albion now going a bit further in terms of clean up . They are now "unamused" at stories er, like this one, suggestions that he's leaving and "insistent" he won't be sold...

All summer , most of the squad - purely on basis there's some random X post saying "X have bidded for..." or because someone will give a funny look after Spurs next week or well, why not ? - will get the NSC verdict "HE"S OFF" . Its a time honoured tradition from now and until the end of the...
