We sat back and laughed at them when they said they were coming for us. But now who's laughing? Slate them all you want, but Brighton are going places, while we're going backwards. We've had a four year headstart and we're the ones who look like the newly promoted side. Even if we do somehow stay up, do you really think Parish and co will sort it out with their track record? No. Once Zaha leaves, that's it. We've already proven we can't cope without him. Our relegations inevitable, and with the TV money, a manager who's been there, seen it and done it in the Prem and a group of players that genuinely seem to care about what they're doing, I can't say the same for Brighton. We've been on top for about thirty odd years, but it looks like the tables are finally turning, and by the looks of things, it's gonna stay that way for a long time I'm absolutely dreading that trip to the Amex at the end of the month.

Fair enough, but you can't exactly blame me for not having much confidence. I'm not saying we can't do it - we definitely can - I'm just saying it doesn't look likely Make your mind up.

The place is a lopsided sh*thole in the middle of nowhere and they have had easier fixtures than us. They havent beaten any big guns. After tomorrow we have a chance of going unbeaten to Christmas then lets see what the table looks like

After tomorrow we have a chance of going unbeaten to Christmas then lets see what the table looks like "middle of nowhere" as in situated next to the A27 main road, the main eastward bound railway line, a few yards from Sussex University, alongside the Virgin Active Sports Club,next to the Southern Water offices, Falmer High School and Falmer Village. Just saying.

The only benefit of being relegated (which we won't be)would be the disappearance of our modern day snowflake Premier League "supporters".

As a previous poster says, make up your mind. Why post when you obviously don't know what you think, or are you just trying to get a reaction by posting cr@p. I fear it's the latter. Far too much of that this season without adding to it, unless of course, that's your intention.

Weren't we in a similar position a couple of seasons ago under Pards and very nearly went down ? They're doing very well and I'm sure our current situation is making it all the more sweeter. It happens all the time, really good start and then nothing. Blackpool were great for ages and went down on the last day of the season when they got found out. However, they are looking solid and might do a Southampton, sticking with a bunch of players who got them up who turn out to be Prem quality. We can sell them Benteke and Andros next season perhaps :/

Swansea and Bournemouth are nailed on for relegation, The last spot is up for grabs and it wont be us. Any one of ten teams or so could go down. Including Palace. West Ham and Everton are struggling at the moment. But nothing’s nailed on yet.

The 'weed haven't had a tough run of fixtures yet. Aside from us, they have Manure, Bin-dippers, Spuds, Chelski between now & Xmas along with Burnley and even Huddersfield. Outside the top 6 this division is becoming so close a single win can move you up several places and vice versa. It's all part of the excitement/terror.
Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five! |

That team will only survive if blessed with collosal luck.
