I don't think that is what @London Irish was meaning at all. If he is like me, I am delighted we are finishing in such a high position and I am acutely aware contextually how that lies in our history. However I am also aware that without a little bit of bad luck with injuries etc, things would have probably been different. It is a stretch to say that if we miss out on Europe then we shouldn't feel disappointment, we are indeed good enough to have finished top 6 but lacked a few breaks.
Your disappointment is borne from the season being a success - disappointed that it hasn't delivered a bit more, but that doesn't make it a disappointing season. Feeling disappointment is one thing, calling it a disappointing season is quite another.

Yep, the Liverpool fans were classy. We were sitting right next to them with some young boys at their first live football match, so I was fearing they might see some of the less-than-friendly fan interactions, but there was absolutely none of it. No goading, no screaming obscenities at each other, no w*nker signs every time anything at all happened. Pretty sure some of them even clapped us at the end of the game too, as some of ours did them. They were in good voice pretty much throughout too, apart from when we took the lead, which was nice 🤣
I bet that was funny

I think it was a communication error. Everyone was shouting at him to take it into the North West corner but he must have misheard as it ended up near the North East corner. Hurzeler went absolutely ape shit at him afterwards.

Disappointed with the 2nd highest finish in the club's history, potentially 1 point behind the highest points tally, all while being profitable and within FFP. Tough crowd.

Let us not confuse disappointment with feeling like there wasn't room for improvement, but imagine talking to someone who knows nothing about football or Brighton and you have to tell them that you're disappointed with the 2nd highest league finish in 124 years.

We've had many many disappointing seasons, we could write the book on what a disappointing season is, and this is certainly not one of them.
We have to move away from the 124 years argument.
That was then, this is now.

We are very much in the PL on merit, and are actually a good top 10 team, with potential for even more. Our policy has been spot on.

I get the sentiment, but I have found this season frustrating as per our numerous discussions. Felt like there was a real top 6 opportunity, as we continued to develop and teams came towards us.

You can’t be disappointed with 8th, but it just feels like it could have been more.

Next season is already very exciting, so who knows.

You are missing the point entirely. I am not disappointed in the season at all. However I am disappointed that we probably haven't qualified for Europe as I think we would have with better luck etc. That is not the same thing at all.

Second best season in our history. :shrug:

If the club are as ambitious as some of our support, we're gonna win the league.
When?
Soon.
How soon?
Tuesday.
