We were arrogant, we were complacent

fosters headband · May 22, 2013

that's what the Palace fans said of us before we played them, now they are having a go themselves.
How much they are going to spend, who they are going to buy, even who they will beat next season.
Got to admit some fans are nervous about the thread, but the Crystal Hypocrite brigade is growing as the thread progresses.

Yes Gus was arrogant and complacent and so were many of our fans

They did us in our manor in the biggest game ever between us, what more do you want.....

They won

Unless they lose on Monday !!

Really don't care about Crystal Palace (well I hate them of course but have no interest in reading about them). We'll both be back to square one in the Championship next season and we all know which club has better long-term prospects, without being complacent.

I do think some of our fans were stupidly arrogant and that's always embarrassing.

Exactly. I'm clinging to Watford winning to completely dilute their freak result win and essentially make it count for nothing. The better side is the one who's top after 46 games right? That's what their fans been saying on here all season! :lol:

See off firms and organisations and helpers (twice)... now let them do the decent thing and pay off these people they put out of work...

I'm surprisingly underwhelmed by the whole play-off experience and can't get too worked up about the fact that we didn't go all the way to Wembley and beyond. I don't know whether it's because we've come so far in the last couple of seasons, but I left the Amex after the 2-0 almost with a 'meh' attitude. Hope I'm not losing my football mojo.

I did a bit... But that's because it's so hard to compete in the prem due to the ridiculous financial difference between the premiership and the rest of the football league. It's got to the point now where it's out of hand.

I don't think the team were complacent at all, there's no way they thought it was a done deal. And fans were hopeful and confident. If some were complacent, so what, they weren't playing, it made no difference.

Palace won because our best 3 shots (Hammond, Barnes, Barnes) were saved, and Zaha's wasn't. That's it.

Exactly !! Gus definitely said it was going to be a tight match , can't quote you his exact words after that but he definitely was not being complacent at all

Freak result? :facepalm:

Win or lose on Monday, the bragging rights are with us for a very, very longtime now. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. To think otherwise just shows you're in denial.

I do hate the fact I can't argue with that.

If you lose why will you have bragging rights, you have achieved no more than us other than a nice day out. If you win then that's another story.

arrogant and complacent? i dont recall much if any discussion of players in, other than where do we need to improve. hardly arrogant to suggest you need to bring in a half dozen players to surive the step up.

If you win, your going to have them for ages and NO Brighton fan can argue with that.

If you lose, then you only keep the rights until we next play, though we did finish above you after 46 games and according to some of your own fans, that's all that matters.

Any season that finishes with a final at Wembley is a good season...No?

If you win yes, our season in 83 finished at Wembley that was not the best.

1. We stopped you going up. End of.
2. It happened in your own backyard, live on Sky including wild celebrations on your own turf at the end.
3. A lot of you had given it the biggun pre-match on how you were already at Wembley.
4. The fallout since looks to have cost you your manager, if you'd won I'm sure the garden would still be rosy.
5. Zaha got both goals despite constant threads about him being shit. Anyone think he's still a shit Bas Savage now?
6. We get a day out at Wembley, even if we lose it's still a great day out and memory. We should also make around a million from the final.

Disagree, and let's face it I'm probably more anti Palace than most on here.

The way I see it is, if they don't go up, they beat us in what was the most important game this club has had in 34 years (barring Hereford) they beat us at theirs and they beat us AGAIN at ours. Until such a time when we either stop them being promoted, relegate them or beat them in a Cup semi they have the rights.

We could beat them home and away for years and it still wouldn't expunge the memory of last Monday.

Edit: In my opinion and mine alone of course.
