Clearly nobody cares about Bournemouth on here, but somehow reached 10 posts in 10 minutes....

Just generally curious do Brighton fans still believe they are bigger and better than Bournemouth?

Bournemouth are called cheats on this forum quite frequently in various threads. People believe that the way the current system works is fair and that as long as you have a big stadium then its acceptable to spend what you like as a club, but because a smaller club wanted to compete thats cheating.

Don't see anybody calling Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Leicester City, Derby County cheats on this forum. They all spends tons of money more than us are they still cheats?

Yes we failed Financial Fair play, but can you seriously take the Football League Seriously when they have given relegated teams who have failed in the Premier League massive parachute payments to help them for years?

Dear Inova

Do you still sing the 'Ying tong' song at Dean Court?

The bigger question is why you thought trying to masquerade yourself as an Albion fan would work given your previous posts.

You've started a thread posing as Brighton fan to try and get other Brighton fans to conclude that Bournemouth are a bigger club, despite the fact that you've posted openly as a Bournemouth fan about 2 weeks ago. That's very odd behaviour and says to me that you're two things: needy and thick.

Do you think your "much better manager" would have taken you up without you ignoring the FFP rules or managed a midtable finish like he did at Burnley? Will be interesting to see if he can be a success anywhere other than Bournemouth. As for the "bigger club" shtick, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. As you know, we either play the hand we are dealt and support our local club or we handpick a successful one. So so tedious.

If you judge "big" by how many supporters go onto other message boards pretending to be a fan of another club in a lower league in order to troll their users.. Then no, we're MUCH smaller than Bournemouth.

You're MASSIVE.

Sorry to tell you this but Dean Court is absolutely shìt.

I've been there many times including a very dull psf v Brighton ,where the famous Doc T took us to the worse Pub i've ever set foot in . Next to Pokesdown Station ,I do hope that shithole was bulldozed .

Howe managed to keep Bournemouth in the Football League with minus 17 points and with only 14 players to choose from. He then got the club promoted to League One the following season without spending anything. He then came back and got the team from the bottom of League to the Championship within seven months. Then he managed to finish 10th in Bournemouths first season in the 2nd tier for a very long time. Where were the FFP rules during these times or were they just lucky?

By the way the players you sold to us in Cook and Elphick had nothing to do with FFP it was just poor judgement on your part!

Brighton are clearly obsessed with FFP and Infrastructure. Whats Brightons real excuse for not getting to the premier league in the years they have been in the 2nd tier?

Are Brighton a bigger club? Yes comfortably, but then so is everybody in the top two divisions bar Rotherham and Burton. You have a larger turnover, that's it. If you can establish yourselves in the PL for 10 seasons and build a new ground and then fill it, then yes it begins to become arguable but right now?

Oh fair play. Most other trolls would have been too embarrassed to show their faces after this omnishambles of a wind-up attempt but here you are. The only thing left to decide is if it's chutzpah or if you truly are that needy that you have to know what a club with little or no recent history with your team thinks of you. We're all very flattered.

This wasn't supposed to be trolling. It was a genuine question of why your clubs fans feel the need to call Bournemouth cheats on this forum?

I don't have a problem with Brighton, and I hope you reach the premier league next season. I hope Murray is doing the business for you and getting back to his best.

To call us cheats just because we were better than you and got promoted is truly pathetic.

If it wasn't supposed to be trolling and was in fact a genuine question why did you pretend to be a Brighton fan in your opening post?

Is this you?
