Stick Lamptey on Van Dyke from corners and set pieces and we should be ok , 1-0 Dunk in the 87th minute sparking a pitch invasion.

A bit of a free hit to be honest, anything we get from tonight would be a bonus.

This game means absolutely nothing. Liverpool probably don't really want to come down to a wet Brighton at 8:15 on a Wednesday night. Brighton players though want to pit their wits against the best and the fans want to watch the best. Let's be honest, it would be nice to win or draw or even hold them to a single goal defeat, but because we aren't there watching the best players in the world this game means nothing.

Just to make sure I've understood this correctly: if we win tonight, we're champions of England, right?

And before anyone accuses me of being "thick", that's how it works in conkers.
