  1. That has got to be the percentage prediction.

    I hope we're all wrong, and that they manage to do what Bournemouth did.

    It'll be a good awayday at least. Don't know what the ticket allocation will be though, I think the new ground only holds about 22,000?

    Ps. Jose Fonte at the Withdean <ok>

    Probably about 2-2 n a half thousand? Watch it be a midweek in December when we go there <doh>

    As for Fonte watched that only the other day... scenes on the running track behind the goal!

    Can't see them sacking Houghton unless something drastic happens. Brighton aren't a sacking club apart from poor Hyypia who nearly relegated them <yikes>

  10. Houghton is a very good manager.

    He deserves another crack at managing in the Prem.

    Current first 11 is very good. Keeper is great, defence is very solid. Dunk and Bruno should have been playing in Prem before now and hopefully Goldson can come back from heart surgery and be same player. LB is bit of issue.

    CM is solid, Keyal from Celtic is brilliant player and shouldn't be playing in Champ. Stephens will hopefully sign new contract if they finally secure promotion.

    Murray is experienced Prem player and as long as can keep Knockaert then always have a chance to win games. Best player in Champ by far.

    Keep an eye out for Solly March as well. Could surprise few next season from out wide.

    Certainly need few additions at CB, LB and maybe CM if Stephens goes as Sidwell is getting on abit as well.

    Comparison with Burnley is prob fair. They've made Amex a fortress and it may be a case of making sure they get 30+ points at home and picking up what they can away to stay up.

    issue with PL is, any promoted team will flirt with bottom 3. that will make people trigger happy

    True but owner isnt the type to pull trigger like that unless as I say so rhyming drastic like flirting with relegation from Champ which would have killed the club. If they are flirting then he'll know CH will be the best man to get them back up again if they were to go down (and he wanted to stay).

    So sacking him and then going down could well mean don't go back up for a long time.

    I hope they stay up. PL had a lack of South Coast representation for years.

    Will be good with us, Bournemouth & Brighton all in the league.

    Mate, the only ones with cock on the brain are you Spuds.
    You even have hats made up with cocks on them, and you wonder why people call you a dickhead ?

    Not officially. If Hudderfield beat Derby, then they can still theoretically catch them.
    They're 1-0 up at the moment, so it may have to wait, again.
    Their goal difference is 30 worse though, so it's basically a done deal.

    Yeah effectively they're promoted now. Good luck to them. I reckon they'll stay up.

    Good day for South coaat clubs with Pompey n Plymouth going up too.

    Great to see Plymouth getting promoted. They are my 'local' team and they've narrowly missed out a few times now.
