Berating the ardent 'East Standers' for leaving the stand empty after 80 minutes is one thing, but what will the reaction be when they don't return at all next year after another season of disappointing Championship mediocrity?

Out of the League Cup already, there will certainly be much gnashing of teeth if there is no appearance this year at the Amex of one of their proper teams in the FA Cup.

Well if it's good enough for Crystal Palace. Your 24,362 Premiership 'hardcore' became 15k then 12k pretty quickly. Doubtless you'll have won back another 4k plastic fans for your next home game based on current form, but of course they're not 'plastics' or 'fairweather fans' are they because they're Crystal Palace fans and quite distinct from the rest of the footballing fan fraternity.

Tut tut, Botty. What do Crystal Palace fans have to do with Brighton fans berating Brighton fans? I simply speculated on their response should said fans not return at all, given the accusations of non-parisanship being levelled at them by their own fans. You're beginning to sound like Hitler, confusing the whiny bleatings of your own fans with that of our perceptive comments and ruminations.

Well, where are they all? They're still above us by a point, might as well make the most of it until saturday.

And a weed finally posts. Subject: Attendances!

Would be nice to see some insight from Wolves fans. Just a few posts from their forum:

"Ward will continue to struggle against really good wingers in the Championship (let alone the PL, and God forbid he isn't our left back if we go up this season!), but there aren't any others anywhere near as good as Zaha really "

"I thought we played reasonably well and didn't deserve to lose and we only lost because of the sheer quality of the one stand out player Palace had. He's far too good for the Championship"

"Just seen the goals. God Zaha is a good player. Ward however... couldn't have dealt with him any worse."

"I didn't go and relied upon reports on Sky-we seem to be controlling the game, from what I was hearing and then were done by Zaha (who won't be at Palace after January, but in the PL-he is as good as Oxlade-Chamberlain for me, from what I have seen of him)"

Ah but what do they have to say about 'Kaz'???

I think what he means is

"We've been found out and don't have a plan B"

What he leams is what he says.

Basically that the other teams will come and try to stop them playing and stop them scoring goals. BIZARRE!!!

We know that already.

I particularly like the observation that it would be easier for Brighton if they could be 1-0 or 2-0 up. Surely it's something the FA need to look into?

21) Zaha is shit and just falls over and has no end product. That is why they have a 100-page thread about him.

[Soarin' Eagles]

42) EPPP will help the small clubs

[SJ'sLoveMonkey]

500) We are too big for Palace already should we get new rivals

This was a good one in chatting to one of them in a pub a few weeks back

"You really need to sort yourselves out and catch up with us"

Remember what goes up must come down. Bye Bye Palarse...

So basically

Poyet is blaming everything but himself and his team because they can't handle the pressure

Without CMS they are shite

They can only beat lower teams in this division and when they are tested they either lose or draw.

Good stuff

Now after their amazing start and our worst for donkeys years we are only separated by a point

[Easy 10]

So a few dilberts on NSC have a massive overreaction after a couple of disappointing home results, and post a load of old shite. Well what a SHOCKER there then. Funnily enough though, that is EXACTLY like it was on here after your less than auspicious start to the season. The howling, whining, wailing panicking, eye-gouging, self-harming and gnashing of teeth was truley something to behold from some of your lot. Not from *everyone*, but from a fair number of you.

Its quite easy to pick out all the most extreme, ridiculous posts (whether they be "we're going to win the League" or "we're garbage, get rid of the manager, sack the board"), collate them into a little montage, and then try to present it as how EVERYONE is reacting. But thats bollocks really isn't it.

The truth, as ever, is somewhere in between. Some are level-headed enough to recognise that, some others are attention-seeking drama queens. You have yours, we have ours, and twill always be so.
