Right....and Gus has been saying all of this for WEEKS now, so we return to the pertinent question - What the f**k is your point?

This.

Also if you think we should give up on this season, how about you stop going to games then? You probably wouldn't get so annoyed and you'd save some money. Probably for the best.

Patience we have had since being relegated from the Championship,Bloom has provided the Stadium but may need to bring someone else onto the board,he is a gambler but without the necessary cash to build a promotion winning team it will prove to be the most dis-appointing time in the Albions history
Recent history showed the last Chairman had a very promising start however he ran out of cash which almost led to relegation,we must not go down that path again.

Does anybody actually know what TB wealth is ? Does he have the money to provide a winning team prior to us moving to Falmer and getting bigger attendances or not does anybody know for sure.

Three league games into the season and to be honest only a point behind where most fans thought we would have been at this early stage with predictions for a draw , win , draw. Four 1st choice players are either suspended or injured which you wouldn't expect until November/December. TB has to decide on gambling by bringing in 4 or 5 quality players to get promotion this season or wait until we're at Falmer before the onslaught begins.

Hate to point out the obvious but TB isn't just giving the cash to brighton its a loan. As can be seen in numerous other clubs throwing money at the team rarely works and if it does it usually backfires bigstyle.

Your SO WRONG. Whatever happens this season, it will NOT be 'the most disappointing time in Albions history'. How the f*** can you even say that.
Are you honestly telling us that August 2011 will be 'the most dissappointing time in Albions history'??
Your glass really must be half empty.
When our team walks out onto the new stadium, there will hardly be a dry eye in the place....it will be the HAPPIEST TIME IN OUR HISTORY.
Doesnt matter whether we gain promotion or not....we will be in our new home.
Get your perspective into some kind of order.

Ah, right! I must've imagined sparrow getting both goals at Swindon then.

A goal a game, so far, isn't it? That's not enough and as good as Sparrow is, we cannot rely on midfielders to get us the goals we need.

Look, at the moment everyone wants to give the manager the benefit of the doubt. I'm not knocking the manager or the board, I'm just saying that it is OK and understandable that some fans are disappointed. Maybe after weeks of trying they will succeed in getting the full squad that we need. Let's hope so, because otherwise it looks like being another season of struggle.

your lot have preferred to play in the 3rd/4th tiers of British football, after our last day exploits of last season we're hoping for a season of mid table mediocrity.

Erm no, unlike some we paid our debts rather than ripping off our creditors twice. With any luck your new shower will turn out to be as potless as the last two and you'll get a taste of what we have had to live with.

I should just remind you that both Goldberg and Tangoman were heroes with shedloads of cash to spend when they took over. Both were 'life long' Palace fans as well. Sound familiar ?

Good old NSC never stuggles to panic in the face of 1 defeat.

Lets forget we are only 3 games in, had an impressive opening day victory, a good performance at home and now a narrow defeat away to one of the divisions fancied sides.

Leeds were automatically promoted last season having lost 9 games. Huddersfield got in the playoffs with 12 defeats.

Reality check and relax people you would think we were bottom of the league the way some people are carrying on.

We were playing Sheffield Wednesday y'know. They showed in the first half just how good they are and they were so much better then us then aswell. Second half was much better but we're deffinately in need of a pacey striker and a decent left winger.

i'm with you we need we defenitly need a fast striker how scores goals and someone like lua lua for the left wing but on the bright side i belive that christan Baz has potential i haven't really seen anything of battipedi im starting to like the look of how baz does things

He was not on the train with us, would have shared a Bow with an Old Lanconian.

He had the pleasure of meeting myself, Tubby and Tufty on our train back.

Top fella! He sat chatting for pretty much the whole journey back which was probably quite a chore as I was 37 parts pissed. Tubby had passed out and was snoring for England and Tufty was well just being Tufty.

When quizzed about a striker he said the money is there if Gus finds the right man.

Well he missed a treat, if he had got the later train, he could have spent it with Lord Canning, who had no idea where he was...

Funny really, I don't see Andy Naylor and Gus Poyet getting 90 responses flaiming them for effectively coming out and saying our promotion bid is entirely dependant on the next week of transfer activity...

Typical NSC dullards.
