Back on topic after Skate education lesson.......thought Brighton would struggle after losing a couple of key players but got to give Poyet some credit, bought good replacements. Similar to ourselves in the fact they have a good manager, have good team spirit and are very organised with a winning habit. They'll finish in top half of table which I didn't think they would when promoted.

I'm not a skate and I can't fathom this out either! I think you meant "I would love to know what the f*ck you are going on about" but that is being pedantic isn't it? So let us analyse "Why would it, when we played so well? By the way how's your neck? Must be aching with all the looking up you're doing". I guess this is a reference to a form of hoofball played by some teams that are not very good at the beautiful game? which team is that?
 
Who listens to any pundits we watch the games with are own eyes and they point out the obvious ie 'Brighton have had a great start' we know 'Arsenal have had a dreadful 'start we know' Pompey only have twelve players' we know .That part of any footy show bores me to tears most of them are bias as it happens.
 
It's just possible that between them, Claridge and Gus "Mr Sour Grapes" Poyet could make me start to really dislike Brighton. But on balance, I can't be @rsed, and actually wish them well. Not too well, though.
 
You cant argue with their results so far.

However.....

1) I think once things start to go wrong, or they get a few injuries the winning mentality might fade. Squad is thin'ish and riding the wave at the moment.
2) Poyet may well end up at Blackburn or Leicester etc as some point soon.
3) Everything seems to be going their way at the moment. The goals they are scoring in particular are either 25 yard screamers, or total gifts from the opposition. You cant keep scoring wonder goals, and you cant keep being gifted goals. I wonder how they will get on when the good fortune dries up a bit. That said, they arent conceding many either, and Mackail Smith should grab them plenty of those "scrappy David Connolly" goals that solid teams get.

The other thing to remember is that they have beaten Portsmouth, Doncaster, Cardiff and Peterborough. I would suggest that Cardiff were the only real test there and Leeds, Leicester, Barnsley away, Ipswich away are fixtures that they will have to keep playing v well in if they are going to keep it up.

As I say though they look good at the moment and all of the above are mights, ifs and buts!
