....getting to within a few points of auto, and then getting crushed by palace as they march onto the premier league.

not forgetting our manager arrived late to the 2nd leg (important) palace game and didn't give a sh1t all night as knew he was leaving...........and the fall out is that our management team are suspended and the club are still send out marketing emails.

what a complete balls up......and if anyone wants out, they have to pay £50 to cancel their season ticket.

more like vodafone or debenhams than a football club.

i'm off till august and hope there might be some better news.

after palace going up i now really don't like poyet - i blame him 100% (irrational maybe but thats the way it is).......no metal, no bottle, all ego.....do one.

We didn't get crushed by Palace. They beat us 2-0.

If Barnes shot had been 2 inches lower, we would have gone 1-0 up and the game would have been completely different.

We had the best record going into the play offs and in the nicest possible way, you really do need to get a grip...despite having no manager, we are STILL in a better position than 1996.

none of us like what's going on at the moment, but you'dve thought by your post thatwe had just been relegated to the Conference!!!

Exactly (except Barnes's shot was saved onto the bar). People here do love a drama.

Yes totally this. Some of our fans need to get grip.

hybrid_x · May 28, 2013

if you would rather grip onto records in a season where palace made us look like complete mugs......and our team and management implode at the end of it.....then its you who needs to get a grip i would say.

for me, i would rather have finished mid table in a calm building season, than this palace defeat and the Poyet "this season or never" type of attitude with contracts, the club, and himself.

we gave it the billy big bollox and got made to look very very silly.

Probably a lot of the 22k newbies since Withdean.
Up and down,rough and smooth, glory and misery........it's called being a fan.
I left a season seat in the Lower West before the end of the first season at the Amex, after some Jabba the Hut fat ba stard complained because I stood up in anticipation of a sheer genius move by Vincenti ( less than 2 seconds later he hit the post from 25yrds- my heart was heavy that no-one else around me told the pie muncher to go read it in the Argus if he could'nt get his fat arse out of his seat.

Education takes a while. :clap2:

James Bond's body double · May 28, 2013

I am still buzzing from a great season, but a crappy ending. Still a great time to be an Albion fan, some people can't be educated I'am afraid.

Right, so after a decent first season back in the Championship where we finished a creditable 10th place, you'd have been happier had we finished our second season lower down on 12th or 13th? Rather than 4th.

I'm fairly sure you wouldn't, in fact I'm fairly sure you'd have been moaning all season about the lack of progression and how we were going backwards and it was all Poyet's / Barnes' / Barber's (delete as applicable) fault.

can't wait to get back to the Amex next season! even if we're managerless and Bloom has to pick the team himself! you always support your team in the best way you can! if that means buying a ST and traveling to every away game up and down the country then so be it... or if it means attending a few games throughout the season and listening to the rest on the radio or catching the updates on gillette soccer saturday then so be that too! Come on Albion! we always bounce back from blips. just look at our f-ing history!

Bill Shankly actually said something similar, along the lines of "If you aim at the stars, you are likely to reach the ceiling, if you aim at the ceiling, you're likely to stay standing on the floor."

Surely as a Brighton fan you would be wishing that PALACE FINISHED MID TABLE not us!!!

Personally I am very pleased with our final position - 3 places higher than I expected/predicted.

brightn'ove · May 28, 2013

I don't care where we finish. So long as I have a club to support and a stadium to support them in. Both of those things we could very easily not have had.

Yes, palace getting promoted at our expense is crushing. But it doesn't really matter - we will still be going to watch the Albion next year won't we? Does it matter if we are playing the likes of Bournemouth and Yoevil or Manchester United? Not one bit.

Don't get me wrong I'm absolutely devastated that palace got promoted, but in reality, why does it matter? We have a fantastic stadium and we mostly all hail from the best city/county in the country.

I would rather live in Sussex supporting a team in the basement division than have to spend a second of my life living in Croydon.

one.

What an utter wet slice. Unbelievable how many people on here are so soft. Embarrassing.

Durlston · May 28, 2013

I'm glad to be taking a break from football for a couple of months. So many things to be sorted out and come back refreshed in August. The time WILL go quickly but I'm more focused on the cricket and tennis now.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
