Kudos, 14 of the 16 years in the Ashley era. Certified one of us, the Scouse history may be forgotten.

Not going to fret on tonight's result. Brentford game was the first that I felt absolutely chill watching. Think we can take it positively - either Leicester concedes ground and we catch up, Burnley's relegation woes persist, or both lose points in a draw.

Amazing feeling to be looking up the league in one short month.

Our Energizer Bunny.

Surely going to include the first 3 years of the 14 any time soon.

We had a delayed managerial bounce and man, what an impressive ride it is.

Great February for us. Games coming fast and furious in March. Expecting some players to be rested.

Wood to get his first goal today.

Howeay the lads!

Aye, some parts of the interview could be omitted and just sharing the plans for the club in general would suffice. Genuine people, think they will learn to be more measured in future.

Any reasons why? Interested to understand the perspective.

Digne?

What a transformation. So much to like about the owners, the manager, the players and people associated with the club. As opposed to the dark days prior.

From the interview.

This part is also great btw.

Not been following the fine details of this chat. If it means we are not even considering Castle Leazes, how much bigger can we realistically expand to at SJP?

Think Norwich and Watford are certs to go down, joined by one from Brentford, Leeds or Everton. Burnley look to have gained some second half of season momentum again. Also believe this is when we are now looking up instead of below.

Eh? I was saying it is hard for Brighton to reinforce DA not interfering with our club in private. Love to know what goes in your mind sometimes, James.

I would rest easy anyway considering the owners wouldn't wait 9 months to get their man. It will be sorted out in time for our summer activities.

There is little to reinforce that though.

So Brighton are going to pay him for 9 months to do absolutely nothing? Doesn't make financial sense nor does it tie in with their "free to negotiate and leave" approach. While being anti-employment to boot

Would love that but also recognise that a more disciplined defensive midfielder replacing Shelvey allows Bruno more freedom to create chances.

Nah, it's time to stop making excuses for them. If Burn and Schar play well, they keep their places and Lascelles will have to wait. Same for Bruno and the other midfielders. There is no feeling sorry for players who cannot perform up to par and they just have to accept that they will see the bench more while being highly paid individuals.

Why would you feel bad for him? It's not like he played well and deserves to keep his place.
