The hex over The Geordies at Falmer continued (they still haven’t beaten us here in the PL, as a second Danny double of the season fired Albion to 3 much needed points.

What a nice day out. An away win that isn’t a League Cup goalfest at last with Albion storming through to claim a thoroughly deserved third straight victory against ‘World champions’ Brighton Rejects FC at Stamford Bridge.

Another League Cup game, another 0-6 win! Bloody hell!!! Well that won’t be happening next time as Albion ended up with a trip to The Emirates to contend with in the draw on Wednesday. However it was a great trip and well worth it, for what turned out to be The Diego Gomez Show, with our Paraguayan midfield maestro netting a, what would you call it?, double brace aka 4 goal haul, with some spectac...

Well it was mainly a lot of good chat on the train up and back on yet another good day out spoilt by 90+ minutes of football, but us Seagulls enjoyed the trip, the new stadium and the beers of course. Pre match chat leaned towards us looking a bit light up front at the moment and with a rare disasterclass from Wel, the point was emphasised as loudly as Everton’s PA system! Stand or fall! UTA! Salt...

Well Europe didn’t happen thanks to ManUre somehow beating Villa, with help from an appalling reffing cock-up and Forest bottling Champions League qualification…feats matching Man City’s pathetic showing in the FA Cup, but Albion themselves stood, not fell, securing 8th place and coming to within a point of their record PL points total to round off what most will consider a rather good season all...

In the pod squad this week were Russ, Pete, Alan and our latest debutant Lincoln Pigman, a self-described Johnny come lately who has timed his choosing of a football club with uncanny aplomb!

Poor Pawson, penalty chaos, a (probably deserved) 1-1 score line, Minteh centre stage and a JPVH / Dunky double-chest down to the keeps!!! Yes it was an eventful afternoon down Falmer Way. Albion avoided conceding 2+ goals which was a pleasant novelty but saw themselves slip to 10th in the table, an unwanted side effect to the medicine Dr Brighton administered to Brentford a couple of weeks ago, w...

Russ, Andy Knott and The Gent, analysing how Albion managed to get back to winning ways, courtesy of better performances from the likes of Lewis, a welcome and very long-awaited first start in aeons for Solly, some good substitutions at (just!) the right time and three goals that included two absolute thunderbastards from messrs Yasin and Carlos.
