In all seriousness, what’s Palace’s justification for not abiding by the deadline, the deadline we and Forest met?
They had no confidence they would win the cup?

Which is nice.

I don’t want to get into Europe based on a technicality.

I don’t want palace to cry about not being able to play, I want them to cry about being knocked out at the first opportunity.
I don't give a shit whether we get in on a technicality or not, I will take getting into Europe by whatever means possible.
 








Absolutely hilarious a lot of you saying you are a much better side than us! Take off your Brighton rose tinted specs guys! Yes, you finished higher in the league than us but that's because we started awful in the first 8 games as we had sold key players and didnt have the replacements match ready + 7 of our players were knackered from Euros, Copa America and the Olympics! Once we got our best 11 out on the pitch we were the better side - 30 games and we out points scored you by 4 points overall. We also beat you twice, once with 9 men, 5-2 on aggregate, we've also won a major trophy this season, you didn't, and we didn't get hammered 7-0 by anyone! It's not even close!
EErrr last time I checked, you nigels finished below us. So yes, over the league season, we are quite clearly better than Palace. Not only that, on paper, much better team bar say 3-4 players.

f*** right off. Yet another half and half fan I see. If you don't want that, then you aren't proper Brighton, plain and simple OR if you are, then you're f***ing weird.

This will be AMAZING.

For those saying "UEFA will find a way to make it work", I'm less convinced. Ultimately there will still be a Premier League team in every slot, it's a question of who.

If Man Utd or Chelsea were involved, they'd 100% try and make sure the biggest commercial draw club came through. But is there a huge difference between us, Palace and Forest in this regard? I'd argue there isn't. Certainly not enough that I think UEFA would bend the rules to favour one over the other.
 




Hmm I think this is another fate twist purely designed to get our hopes up again only to dash them - like a long drawn out negative VAR decision. Begone
