Before anyone gets carried away. Its Brighton at home.

If we lost we would be in crisis.

Be happy mate, we won, also one step closer to Sam getting sacked

Okay 3 points but I still have zero confidence in Allardyce, lucky IMO to get to 1 up, an own goal!!

We were by far the better side. Own goal or not we weren't 'lucky' to go 1 nil up mate...

All a matter of opinion, ignoring that goal just think how likely were we to add to that before Tosun managed one? That is what I look at, we are just getting that bit extra.

What does that even mean?? Doesn't that just describe any team that wins games?

We weren't 'lucky' at all today mate, we deserved both goals and the win. Pretty simple. Enjoy it.

Beg pardon, meant we not getting that bit extra, remember Burnley, Watford???

3-0 win. Just one of those games we turn up in before we go back to sleep for the rest of the season.

Bah close.

Thought we played well in second half.

They were poor today. Bit uncharacteristic of them considering they've generally performed well this season.

Theyve been in decent form of late aswell and with us being poor i expected more from them. Maybe they think they are safe and just wanted a point

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.

I am as cheesed off as anyone but I enjoy a win and don't try to down play it. I will down play any Liverpool win but not an Everton win. It's like we won but.....forget the but lets just enjoy wins rather than degrading wins.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

It does perhaps seem slightly odd to me that in a season were wins have generally been in short supply (particularly comfortable ones) that some still can't seem to enjoy them when they do occur..

I get it... we've largely been dog meat this season and no one on the caching staff or the board are especially popular with blues these days, but does that really mean that you simply can't enjoy a good performance and a win?

Jeez.. things are worse amongst the fanbase than I thought.

We won , ladies and gentlemen . Enjoy the evening . None of this " It was ONLY Brighton " rubbish .

Keane giving Knockaert a friendly pat on the back after he's sent off, while Coleman is giving him an earful. Don't be consoling opposition players who've just tried to break your team mate's legs, Michael.
