Brighton’s results in the league since the beginning of March.

LWLDLDLL

F 3  A 16
5 pts out of a potential 24
We also have a great record against Brighton, they’ve beaten us once in the previous 20 fixtures.
To paraphrase the great SGT Do I not like stats like that!
Have lost once away in 43 years !
The overall record of playing away at Brighton current and past grounds 13 matches played 1 lost.

Away record v Brighton:
Never lost at the amex
Never lost in the Premier League at Amex
Won the last two at the amex

Deal with it.

The Brighton game is heavily contingent on what team we can put out and in what state they are in.
Hopefully we have Emi,Zani. Moreno, Tielemans  back.

Spuds fans are also saying they want to lose vs City to help them win the league. They are not as bothered  as us, seem to be more bothered that Arsenal being champions

Then we will do well to get anything from the game.

The whole "choose one or the other" argument is nonsense anyway. Because there's no way of knowing for sure if decisions taken in one competition affect the outcome of the other one. The only concrete example we've got in recent times was Moscow, and we ended up with neither a trophy OR top 4.

Well we've qualified for the Europa League now so we may as well fuck the Conference off (or play the kids) and protect players for the League games.

I honetly can't tell if you're on a wind up or what?

I know, right? That's how it comes across with some people some times. Of course I'm joking. I want the trophy.

But if it's European qualification etc, some people say they want Champions League more than the Conference. If that's true, why not play a weakened side to aid the cause of the league?

Don’t do it Dave. Those numbers with us winning the co-efficient added are making me cry. We could rest everybody for all the league games if Arsenal and Man City had got their act together.

[devil's advocate]

Their feelings towards Champions League qualification are probably a bit more blasé than ours. They've played in it, what, six times over the last decade or so, including a run to the final?

So while I'm sure they'd much rather be in it than not, it would be understandable if they don't see it as quite as big a deal as we do.

[/devil's advocate]

That, plus some disaffection with the club's higher-ups, is I think the big story for them yeah.

The fact that they don’t need the money anything like as much as we do plays into it as well I think.

Obvious thing to say at this stage, but I think the picture will be a lot clearer by close of play Sunday.  If the 7 point gap is still in place at that point, it will be looking very good.

2 losses for Spurs and a win at Brighton and I think we're in!

So being a Villa fan, I've had a bet on them to win both matches and us to lose at at Brighton.

I'm struggling to think of anything funny from them. I'm sure there's been the occasional gem, though.
