Relegation

[Cozzie]

We're also likely gonna need a "Brighton 5-1" out of nowhere result I think too, which is massively unlikely this time around.

[Bluedylan1]

Trying to look at positives.

There really isn't much is there?

Any?

It's gonna be pure unadulterated luck if we survive from here now.

The positives are the same that they were last week - that the other teams around us are rubbish, and we don't need to get many points to stay up.

[Paddockoldie]

Tell you what BD.. we got that optimism wrong last night. Utter shambles of a performance. Got to turn up against Forrest or that picture may change badly.

[blueforyou]

This time we are more likely to get a 1-5 home defeat...

...Liverpool

Yeah I mean I said, keep it tight, stay in the game Chelsea are flaky and then who knows. Conceding a couple of early goals was not the brief.

[777Kidnappings]

Why pick young then because he is a manager favourite Harrison is limited but has pace but no good old Ashley gets picked

Harrison isn't fast.

[Kerryblueboy]

Harrison isn't fast.

Really he isn’t faster than young stop the blinkered defence of this grock

[TheRam]

Harrison was terrible and played himself out the side.

Maybe he should come back in but I don’t see much difference between him and young in their level of performance.

It’s like that all over the squad.

What?? Did I say that. We don't need wide players that are faster than ashley young. We need them to be faster than the full backs of the teams we are playing.

I'm not defending anyone. I don't like anyone (literally) So so set that you're constantly looking for an argument that not there. I agree Harrison (Stephen hawking and myself) are all faster than ashley young. I don't pick ashley young. My defence is that the other options are also absolutely shite

Just shifting pieces around the cess board isn't it, except all our pieces are pawns apart from a few who are the top hat from Monopoly, the mouse from Mouse Trap, and a half eaten rolo covered in floor fluff and dog hair.

[blueforyou]

We are all snakes and no ladders

I thought last night was going to be that night

[AjaxAndy]

I thought last night was going to be that night

It was, just unfortunately it was for Chelsea and we were their Brighton

[Shogun]

Obviously there's an element of hindsight about this and I'm sure plenty of the fans (probably including myself) were for it but sacking Silva feels like a real sliding doors moment for the club.

The club acknowledging that they'd fucked up with Koeman/Walsh and showing the world that it's now the Brands/Silva show and we're going to act like a proper club and leave it to them to do things right. Club should have stuck with him during the rough time and we'd likely be in a much better place now. Instead they sacked him and Moshiri/Bill continued to meddle, got in Ancelotti so they could tug themselves off at night and then just made a string or even worse mistakes from there.

Doesn't mean Silva or Brands were or would have been brilliant but that's the last time it really felt like we were doing things properly to me.

I don't know if it would have mattered. We'd still be in for a shit next few years as it was the irresponsible spending hundreds of millions under Koeman on players with no resale value and then the rank stupidity of giving Allardyce £50m to spend on Tosun and Walcott that put us in the hole we're still in.
