    Win for Cardiff tonight - really drags Brighton in, some nasty fixtures left for both teams

    Brighton
    Wolves (away)
    Tottenham (away)
    Newcastle (home)
    Arsenal (away)
    Man City (home)

    Cardiff
    Liverpool (home)
    Fulham (away)
    Crystal Palace (home)
    Man Utd (away)

    Place your bets......

    Brighton’s best chance of points from those games will probably be us so if they lose to Wolves this weekend I selfishly hope it will be them. They also seem to have lost their way in the last few weeks whereas Cardiff are still fighting.

    We need to win this weekend so we can finish season positively rather than looking down.

    Was chatting to a friend who is a Brighton fan last night and said exactly the same thing - think I would also take pleasure in seeing them go down after the promotion crap they dished out. Feel sorry for Hughton though

    I still have the Brighton champions scarf I bought to mock them with for jumping the gun and getting them printed in the first place.

    WOW!!!

    That is going to be tight than a nuns....!

    Honestly think Brighton will grind out 2 draws or a win and a draw out of those 5 but Cardiff could take 6/7 points depending on if ManU are playing for anything come the end of the season or if Ole does what SAF use to do and play the kids for the last game!

    Brighton look ****ed but its tight. So difficult to turn it around now. I had them down as winning that one because they had to. I can't see Brighton picking up more than 3 points. That means if Cardiff can conjure up two wins they are ok.

    You never know but I think I'd say Brighton to go. I don't like Warnock, I like Hughton so that would be my preference, Cardiff to go. I don't really give a **** though.

    Yes <laugh>

    To be honest though I think we will beat them. They looked a mess again. We're a decent away side too at times. Depends which Newcastle turns up. We are pretty weak in central midfield with Longstaff out. Hayden has been in poor form again, Diame looks a write off now, and Shelvey is persona non grata. Ki does his thing but doesn't pull up any trees. The problem for Brighton is they have championship standard centre mids too so its a battle of gashness. Whoever wins that will probably win by the odd goal. I think we offer more of a threat.

    I'm sure Brighton fans called Rafa a fat Spanish waiter so, yeah, fuk them, I hope they go down.

    I think Brighton are most likely to go down. Its hard to see them picking up more than Cardiff.
    Cardiff have been unlucky with decisions but look like they're up for a battle.

    Feel for Chris Hughton though.

    Well that’s pretty decent of the Man Utd fans. I would have thought they would have been particularly anti Rafa.

    So we are officially safe now after Cardiff lost today. They can start working on Rafa's contract.

    Think it will need Man Utd to take points off City this week and I can't see that happening. Utd look to be in a Pardewesque run of form.

    Unlucky Brighton held on for 88mins

    So will it be on Saturday when they next pick up points

    Seems as if the FA have decided on a Brighton result by appointing that **** of a ref Mike Dean
    Twice he has shafted us this season alone

    Brighton are battling for Hughton. No surprise to see him galvanise them for a fight. I think we will do well to win. However if Hughton thinks he can outscrap, out negative, out defence, and out battle a Rafa Benitez side, he may be in for a nasty surprise.
