Even though we won everything still felt cack, I was that bored I ended up going down way early for a beer and watching it on the telly, roll on next season, new manager etc.

The highlight of the game was Coleman having a pop at the lad who got sent off.

Not sure what game some were watching. That's the first time I've watched a game totally calm and certain we'd win all season.

Do you really think anyone is likely to get carried away?

Deffo, Everton fans.

 

[Sharpies volley]

I've already paid a deposit on my CHAMPIONS 2018/19 T shirt? Should I cancel the order???

Hahaha it's good to see we still have a sense of humour although I doubt it would have shone through if we'd have got beat.

Before anyone gets carried away. Its Brighton at home.

If we lost we would be in crisis.

This is the problem. If we win it's because the opposition are crap. Must we only win against a big team (which we shouldn't by all rights because we are like a Brighton to them) before we pat the players on the back. Every win against a lower team is met with Meh! Every loss regardless is met with 'we are [Poor language removed]' that was 'humiliating' and a win against a bigger team is usually met with 'they didn't turn up' ' They will never play as bad as that again'. The sooner we get perspective we might actually celebrate wins against anyone in this league. Gone are the days of sitting there with folded arms expecting to win.....we have no right to. The atmosphere at games might improve also.

Watched 30 mins of first half and we were solid.

Good win.

 

[svenboss]

Forgot how good Baines is at making us balanced.

The thing is, though, we finished a very comfortable 7th last season and until the last month had hopes of being in the top 6. Since then we've spent a King's ransom on new players and haven't achieved 40 points yet. No wonder fans are cheesed off.

Where was Gana? Anybody know?

Wins fell so much better when they're rare

Absolute bollocks mate.

We obviously really needed that win but you can't just downplay it because 'it's Brighton at home'. They've been one of the form teams in the Prem recently and we made relatively easy work of them in the end when everyone was panicking beforehand.

 

[Professor Toffee]

We played well and actually had a proper defence, including a left back.
Didn't concede
Liked Gylfi looked classy
Baines was excellent
Please don't like Rooney take any more pens

the same brighton that comfortably beat arsenal last week, the side that have put 10 past us over the two games this year...

 

[Groucho]

Alright easy to say that isn't it when the opposition score am own goal lol should be miles ahead here yet heading towards last ten with the game in a knife edge.

Have a smile mate.

You make @davek look cheery lol
