How can last nights winner be described in this way? Sounds like we're in 6th place 1 point ahead of the chasing pack, bl00dy idiots!

strong and stable with me, or...
Fantastic stuff.
Hughton couldn't pay the press enough to do what they're doing. We've got to be chuffed to bits with the coverage we're getting.

If you think this is bad now you wait until we (Fingers crossed! One day soon!) become a Premier League side.
We could be sniffing around the top two and Sky and it's pundits would still write us off.
Nobody see's Brighton as a big club, and nobody outside of Brighton is interested in reading or hearing about us.

'Alive' in that we could lose the next 6 and we'd probably still make the play offs!
I want us to be plucky little Brighton in the Premier league, a bit raffish and unpredictable, but with a heart of gold.

Agree with this. It is only a "marginal gain" but the absence of media fuelled hype around our players must be an advantage in terms of them maintaining their positive focus on one game at a time.
Burnley players felt the need to throw their shirts in the crowd and practically celebrate promotion on Saturday. Last night Dyche had to face interview questions about the wheels coming off at the wrong time and how they could arrest their drop in form having taken only 3pts out of the last 9....
I love this Albion team and manager. Skilful, committed, professional and seemingly decent blokes.
Was listening to the radio on the way back last night......Burnley, Boro, Hull, Derby.......then talk about the bottom teams.......we seem not to exist.........

To be honest, I quite enjoy this kind of thing. When we were at home to Bristol City in October, one of the previews started with "City have the chance to lift themselves out of the relegation places this evening as they travel to the South Coast etc etc". A feeling of righteous indignation is not entirely unpleasant.

All season, the media – Sky, especially – have treated Albion like upstart gatecrashers to a party that only the grown-ups are allowed to attend.

I think the management have done a stunning job of keeping the players collective feet on the ground, while at the same time quietly going about their business.
There have been no over exuberant interviews, or premature quotes, like that of Michael Keane after Saturdays game where he was quoted as saying that Burnley now want to go on and win the league, as if they had already achieved promotion!
Keep plugging away, and you just never know what might happen to such a nice, tightly knit team, with no mega egos!

I did like the comment the other day (think it was on Sky) that was along the lines of
'If Brighton manage to get to the Premier League it will be one of the biggest rags to riches stories of all time'
I think IF we do go up, the press coverage will be massive and bigger than that of the winners (if we come second)
