    Brighton are either brilliant, or they really are the jammiest team in the league. Shouldn't have beaten Brentford but got a jammy last minute winner, shouldn't have beaten Leicester, and really shouldn't have drawn with Palace there.

    Please can their luck run out soon. I know too many Brightonites.

    But you can say THEY bottled their chance to go top. We didn't. :)

    But honestly though, their start of the season mirrors ours from last season: a kind fixture list to start the season. We were never going to get off to a flier this time round with our fixtures. I can't believe people are calling for Ralph's head already. He nearly masterminded wins over both Manchester clubs (the top 2 from last season) for ****s sake!

    You must be used to it by now!

    I mean, we could get Eddie Howe, and then we could buy Solanke and Ibe for massively overinflated prices, concede over 60 goals in every season, and then get relegated.

    Just for reference - Howe's teams in the PL conceded 67, 67, 61, 70, 65 goals.

    During our horror season with the 9-0 etc last year, we conceded 60.

    So...yeah...anyone thinking Howe is an answer to the question needs to give their head a wobble.

    Is the plain back shirt rule a thing of past now? Seems there are a few who don't have one.

    It's a bit of a minefield trying to find out, looking through the Premier League Hand Book it doesn't appear to be a specific rule, merely stating that they have to approve all designs. The problem arose in 2016 with UEFA guidlines (not rules) which specified plain colours around the number and most clubs opted for the plain back to avoid conflict.

    Chance to be a hero by scoring the winner at OT. And Davies bottled it.

    A combination of Simon Hooper and Lee Mason was always a recipe for disaster.

    Not that I feel sorry for Watford, mind you. #Dacoure

    You're never more than 6 foot away from an ex-Watford manager.

    There's nothing strange about the Watford owners sacking their manager. It's what they do. Wake up, have a shower, get dressed, have breakfast, sack their manager.

    New manager already lined up by the look of it.
