    Guaranteed Brighton win this, especially with that **** Atkinson as the ref. He will do his usual of giving the opposition a penalty, or sending one of our players off. Never been so sure of anything in my life. Infact, I'll eat my hat if we avoid defeat here.

    I fancy us. I thought 1-0 but I’ve just been looking and they are conceding plenty, and not looking particularly threatening. The mood we are in we might batter them. Although they might have the hump after our raids…

    3-0

    Seem a good lot Brighton tbh. Glad they're in the Prem and long may it continue.

    Their reaction to the Burn sale was top draw.

    Oh FFS and it was going so well!

    Screw it, even the drag factor of a Lawro predicted win can't slow us down enough 2-0 Win

    My broken & dislocated finger is mending slowly. Still can't bend it yet.

    Nev's black eye has gone down.

    And GG still can't control which direction his pee goeside ro his 'condition'.

    But otherwise looking good.

    The kiss of death.

    But at least the one from The Smiths who is less of a **** that the singer also predicted us a win.

    The bit I liked was that they showed the relegation fight at the bottom of the table and showed places 15-20. First time this season our name wasn't even mentioned <diva>

    It is a bit surreal tbh.

    Also amusing reading Lawro's predictions now that he can't tell the world we're dead and gone with no chance of staying up.

    Looking at the table, I think Soton are beyond us, but we could realistically compete for 10th. But just staying up is obviously the priority.

    This is an important point. What is going to happen to the universe:

    - IF we stay up and
    - IF we spend big in the summer and
    - IF we start to win more games

    Lawro will start predicting we'll win more games - which could rip a hole in the space time continuum and allow those bloody andromedonians to find a way into our universe.

    Maybe chaos was right after all.

    Aye it was. Got a lot of respect for Potter. Seems a good guy and his record suggest he's an excellent coach too. On their budgets they should be in the same boat as us so he must be doing something right. They seem to have a good set up so hopefully Ashworth brings that to our party. Like you say the club acted with real class with the Burn thing.

    So basically it looks like ASM is out. That sucks, but I'm confident we'll win this anyway.

    Fraser--------WOOD------------Murphy
    ---Joelinton--Shelvey--Willock----
    Targett----Burn---Schar------Manquillo
    ------------------Dubz-----------------------

    That team should win.

    Quietly confident Maxi will make the squad for 60 mins this game, also think we could see a bit of rotation with the run of 4 games in 12 days coming up, get people minutes.

    Dubz
    Manquillo
    Schar
    Burn
    Targett
    Willock
    Bruno
    Joelinton
    Fraser
    ASM
    Wood

    Krafth, Lacselles, Murphy, Dummy and Shelvey all to start mid week vs Soton.

    ASM isn't fit.

    Do we really need to field a different team for a midweek game?

    I'd have the same starting 11 except alternate shelvey and bruno maybe.

    Where's it confirmed ASM is out? I literally just watched Eddie Howe say he's training today and they'll make a decision this afternoon.

    I thought it said he's not been training with the team, and we'll make as last minute call, but it pretty much looks 90% like he's not playing as he's not fully fit yet.

    Would you risk it?
