    We could always raid Leeds like we used to, Cooper is an option , but might have us over a barrel, so maybe Roofe could be acquired for cover? If not then from elsewhere Abraham would be a signing of biblical proportions, as would Gabriel Jesus! However Maupay might just be asking to much in wages!

    We've all heard the complaint that OTBC is sung too quickly in the modern age. On top of that my wife says it's hard to tell what the tune is supposed to be, and she has a point. But how can we sing it better if we don't know what it's supposed to sound like? I've been searching online for any kind of recording (field recording of the terraces in the 1930s, proper studio performance) and the earliest I can find is a video of OTBC being sung in the 2007/08 home fixture against QPR. It's nowhere near old enough to be definitive. Does anyone have some archive material of the song? Or failing that, some sheet music with the lyrics? Anything that would let us work out how the song really ought to be performed? If so, let's be having it, please.

    I hated almost everything about the two seasons we had Hughton in charge. I'm astonished he got another job after what he turned us into - he is a dinosaur who has no clue about offensive tactics and his time has gone, like some others - including Warnock, Pellegrini and the old geezer pundits like Souness, Lawrenson etc. The game has moved on and they haven't. Only Hodgson of the "old" brigade has still got a bit about him. Shame in a way because Brighton probably won't struggle next year now.

    There were a few posts on here after the home game against Swansea saying that Swansea reminded them of how we played last season-quite a lot of possession but no end product-and were saying that they might be the Norwich of next season.

    Jahanbakhsh was a Hughton signing. He tried to get him while at Norwich but he wouldn’t get a work permit. RVW was also a Hughton signing. He spends lots of money on players he doesn’t know how to use. That’s probably his biggest weakness.

    The lectures from outside have started in earnest, just like we were served up. The consensus among a vocal selection of fans of other (or no?) clubs is always that X team (never their own) should at all times keep Chris Hughton in post, regardless of his performance, direction or outcomes, because X shouldn't really be in the Premier League in the first place, and has no right to try to improve for the future, plus did I mention he's an awfully polite chap on TV [not contested!]. Some of the typical know-nothing, patronising, illogical reader comments off the BBC sport article: CH good manager. Brighton were abysmal in 2nd half of season but they survived. Surely CH deserved to retain his job after all he is the manager that brought you into Premier League and kept you there. Wrong decision. An FA cup semi and survival in the Premier League? The powers that be may regret that decision. Chris Hughton has always shown integrity, and his calm demeanour is what is needed under pressure.Sign a couple of decent attacking players and you will be competing. Back to square one now. The club's primary aim at the beginning of the season would have been to stay in the PL - on paper they would have been one of the favourites to be relegated along with the promoted sides. Had a good first half of the season and a poor second half - had the results been more evenly spread through the season I doubt he would have been sacked. Hope they get relegated next year I would have thought that keeping him, then giving him serious money to invest in players was the way forward. He's been very good at the club with little help re investment in new players, I've always thought he was very good coach. I hope, if he stays in football management, that he goes somewhere where he will be respected more. Another football manager having to take the blame for the poor performance of the players he has to select from. Why don’t the owners of football clubs accept the fact if they provide their manger with second rate players they will get second rate results. It would be great to see the board take charge of the team after they have sacked the manager and show that they can do better. Absolutely ridiculous decision ..... remember what happened to Charlton when curbs was sacked... dropped like a stone. Chris kept that up. Even though they list confidence towards the end he still did the job. Brighton be regulated next season as they have a bang average team. It beats me how clubs that are in the Premiership feel that they have a right to stay there,one poor season and they panic, no team has a Gods given right to stay there just ask Pompy,Coventry & Ipswich. A few voices in the wilderness seem to partly get it, presumably fellow yellows: I think Brighton have made the right decision. When he was manager at Norwich City he turned an exciting team into a tedious boring one that only seemed to play defensive football. It seems he has done the same at Brighton even though he managed to keep them up, just!

    Can see Pulis getting the boot at Boro and Hughton going there as well. While no one could guarantee Brighton’s survival I think Potter would be a great appointment for them. The Brighton squad is largely built to play good football, just Hughton always regressed to his preferred defensive, passive style. Can see Potter doing well there, especially with Ashworth in support and a whole summer to shape the squad and coach the players.

    Bethnal, I saw that somewhere. I take the point about the danger of someone nominating their successor, but if it is a shortlist, with the board then interviewing and making the final choice, then I think that's OK.

    Totally disagree with some earlier posters. When Man City went down to the 3rd tier their fans stuck with them. Ok some now are glory hunters but the core of long standing & suffering fans is still there. Could never support Liverpool for what they did to us in the 80s

    The sooner the top 6 teams b*gger off to a European “super” league, the sooner the rest of us (rest of Europe really) can enjoy a competitive top league.

    Without trying to sound like a raging communist (because I'm not) I believe most of the problems in modern society come down to capitalism (or the particular brand of capitalism we have now). Capitalism has encouraged us to become more individualistic and more materialistic and fundamentally makes us more selfish and more shallow. The pursuit of wealth has been elevated above all else so it is hardly any great surprise to see young people now idolizing people like the Kardashians or similar- beautiful, moneyed people living the dream that we're all told we should be chasing.

    My order of preference for the top clubs: Spurs - Not spent a fortune and are by far the most likeable from the top 6 Man City - Decent fans and owners have invested heavily in the surrounding area and Guardiola is class Liverpool - Great club, great manager, unbearable fans Arsenal - Not a lot to like but my dad supports and I remember the invincibles under Wenger from when I was young so I have a small soft spot Man Utd - club stuck in the past, unlikeable team, plastic fans and have been poor to watch considering how much they've spent the last decade or so. Chelsea - Vile, repulsive club, hate everything about them. Every facet of their club rubs me the wrong way. I so hope we beat them next year! It's probably been exhilarating and exhausting being a Liverpool or Man City fan this year but for a neutral it's been kinda dull. Plus the race for the top 4 is always dull, it's an achievement invented by the media and incentivised purely by money. Good for the teams involved, a total yawnfest for the rest of us. Hopefully another team can do a Leicester again soon to spice thing up a bit!

    I've no love for either of them but I do seem to have found myself pleased that Liverpool haven't done it (again!) Man United & Chelsea I can't stand. I love when Man U get beaten and I take pleasure in any struggles that come their way. Chelsea are rotten to the core and deserve misery piled upon them. While extremely unlikely, it would be hilarious & supremely satisfying to see either relegated. I can be a bitter little man when I want to be!

    How do people feel about City really? Go back to 1999 and their demise to the third Division, then getting rich owners a free stadium built for the commonwealth games? Their fans now consist of ex United glory hunters and plastics with a few old fans from when they were crap! At least Liverpool won the league and cups during a period where it was harder to win as squads were smaller and the league was more even. I dislike Man City, as much as Chelsea, both plastic clubs run by plastic owners for corporate pleasure.

    Man City are a new ‘big’ club so are only now gathering their ‘glory hunting’ supporters. Unfortunately because of Liverpool’s history, their fans are everywhere

    Watching the Villa v WBA game, the difference in the way we builds attack’s - quick passes, overloading one of the wings, incisive runs - is night and day more advanced than the way Villa played. I’m confident we can successfully bring that style of play to the PL, but we are going to have to have a pacy “destroyer” in defensive midfield to break up counter attack’s when we lose the ball.

    If we do as well in the transfer window assembly we did last summer and we keep Buendia on the pitch all season I think you may be right. This is definitely the best team we've had going up and probably the best ever to be promoted from the Championship. Provided that Emi is playing of course

    I’d kind of agree with you if it wasn’t for the fact he has said himself he won’t be around for the long-term. While I think he’d struggle to get employed in Spain as he has stated numerous times is his ambition - he’d probably need to be fluent in Spanish to do that. He will certainly be a man in demand already. I could see him landing in Germany while he is already well known by clubs If Norwich stay up then larger domestic clubs will be interested, if Norwich go down then you can see him wanting to remain in the Prem - and unless Norwich have a horrific transfer window of Fulham proportions - then you doubt he’d be short of suitors. Webber is very good at his job, but there are plenty others out there who could probably do as good a job if given the chance. He stands out as there are so few people doing what he does in the Championship.

    I reckon end of next season is the longest he’ll be around. It would be surprise if he doesn't stay for a while imo. He has everything he needs here to develop a football club to it's maximum potential. Everything is in place to improve/develop the club, with Farke and eveyone in position for the next few years. People might scoff, but there is every possibility that we are on the road to real success at the top level, even with our relatively small resources - and who is to say we couldn't get to near the top of the PL over the next three or four years? I wouldn't discount it. I accept the likelihood is that we will do well to be around mid-table, but never say never. We appear to have the dream set up and as has been said Webber has almost complete control. He may just want to see how far we can go - and that could mean to the top. I mean, in less than two seasons we have gone from nowhere to playing what many people describe as PL football....the sky is the limit!

    This is just hilarious - how can he not even be able to pronounce the name of one of the worlds footballing superpowers. Does he not understand they are everybody's favourite second team with a glittering array of silverware to show for hundreds of years success?! Whatever can the reason be? 🤔

    “Gone! Yesterday tragedy struct as Notre-Dame burnt down. At the same time the last female Yangtze Softshell Turtle died. Within 24hrs over €600million has been pledged to rebuild an icon of imagined reality yet the extinction of another species has gone with barely an acknowledgement let alone the pledge of millions of Euros to halt or at least slow the current mass extinction event. We place a ridiculously skewed value on objects that are far from essential to our (Humans) survival yet watch as ecosystems rapidly degrade to the point of collapse - at what cost to humanity”
