Empty seats everywhere. I think there is a decent hard core support but the rest are made up of double fans. A lot of people from Brighton have a second team. It’s very strange. They are doing remarkably well for a football club. Mid table in the PL, European runs, semi-finals etc. they didn’t even have a stadium 20 years ago and had to travel to Gillingham for home games. Easy to forget the shit times. I hope our supporters don’t.

Aye. The story of their decline was funny but they are officially shit now so let’s just move on. Having an entire pundit team made up of Reds (either ex players or scouse ex players mocking them) means it will most likely not go away until they are good again.

The semi finals at Wembley tarnish the final for me. It’s all about the wonga though.

I think the gloss comes off a Wembley visit the 28th time. I quite like supporting a shit team (in terms of trophies). It makes winning things (or even getting close to them) all that much special.

Yeah. I was thinking that as well. I didn’t watch Man City (a) game but I assume something similar happened? he went full press v Brighton at Amex last season and they just bypassed us with a long ball up to Evan Ferguson every time. Think they did the same against us at home this season (used Welbeck and Ferguson is memory serves).

Lloyd Kelly update. Vital 2-0 win today puts them in 4th but they are still 3 points off 8th (which I think means he’d be back with us).

A semi final is nothing to them these days

It’s not going to be Forest’s day.

If we press high and man for man we’ll get beat. Just sit in and hit the fuckers on the break.

I had a look at their forum today and they are fuming. When they look back on the season then it must be the best they’ve had for most of the fans lifetimes. Still, no pot in the cupboard though.

Dracula probably didn’t fancy a relegation on his CV whereas big nuts Howe had the perfect sized cajones to do the job.

In other news, Wrexham are promoted to the Championship.

The villa midfield was bossed as well. Wharton was good. They are pretty lethal on the counter on their day as well. Watkins was tragic today.

Everyone loves Willy.

That’s the grey midland look.

Villa have made amazing progress since Gerrard was in charge. They can’t be too disappointed but THEY WILL BE. Boring beige pricks.

Fucking magic

Villa have spawned this so far. They should be 3 down. That means they’ll get through.

Is Martinez overrated? He lets a lot of soft goals in.

Parish:

Villa win fuck all for me.

I would love to see a Palace win here but Villa will have too much for them.

The press becomes less impressive without him. Willock will need to recapture some form, hopefully quickly.
