Just got up? Your post match posts did come across as incredibly level headed

Really? Spoken like a true palace fan . Have a word with yourself. They will finish 12th…again . Would you swap places just because they won the FA cup.

Thats it. Ive nothing else to say.

I have

I had a meltdown after the match yesterday for several reasons not least because it was the end of weeks of intensity and hope so anti-climatic - and sincere apologies to all for lashing out on NSC after some piss-taking just after the match, it was just too triggering - the ‘morning after’ embarrassment is truly self-admonishing.

Palace rivalry has been a part of my conscience of what it means to be ‘Brighton’ since that penalty farce and bloody awful cup tie in 1976. Since then, I’ve sort of positioned Palace and us on fairly even footing when it comes to sucess and have even used them as a yardstick to test our own progression in the Premier League. The reality though is that I know many Palace fans, who like many of us, are just huge supporters of their local team. But while for me, it IS largely pantomime now and no longer vitriolic, it is still very much a part of my/our football culture and when they achieve something we have several times come so close to, well … it’s grating - especially when our route had tougher draws.

But it definitely isn’t all about Palace, not even mostly (so although it hurts still to say it, congrats to them for playing a focussed and disciplined final), for me it is about us and after weeks of believing we actually could get back into Europe next season after ‘that’ low point of the season against Forest - that ‘hope’ all but being blown out of the water after the result yesterday.

I’m looking forward to going to the Liverpool match - yes, I am still going to cheer the team on because a good performance tomorrow will be the best healing balm in this silly football lark that has us crying into our beers one minute and shouting from the roof tops the next (metaphorically of course )

Liverpool match will be like a friendly two teams trying to avoid injury.

Hope we haven't hit the beach just yet. We need one more point to, at the very least, finish above that bunch of rubber johnnies and salvage a little dignity in a season where they have done the double over us and beaten us in the race for silverware.
