There is an interesting aspect to the fact we can’t drop a place regardless of what happens. Means if we’re behind we can throw the kitchen sink at it with no consequences in a way Brighton can’t and Man United can’t in their fixture.

So the last 15 mins might be fun even if we’re losing. Was going to say the full Avram Grant treatment with six strikers on the pitch but then realised for us to source enough strikers to do a full Avram would mean borrowing some from the U14s and U12s.

I would be absolutely delighted if we can get back in the Europa league for next year.

Cup final by the sea on Sunday.

My first trip to Brighton was 1989. 3 down after about 20 minutes and Brady missed a pen. And it rained if I recall.

I see this as a free hit.

We can only gain something more, we can't lose something we already have.

Even then , we're reliant on a result elsewhere.

This will be a hard game for us, Brighton are doing well, they are bogey team for us and it is their last home game.
But I have faith in the lads to get a result. I can't see us being on the beach. But Man United have been looking like they are on the beach for a couple of weeks. I also think Viera will have Palace fired up.
The Europa dream is still alive.

Is this game being shown on TV? I can only see three games on Sky and ours doesn’t make the cut. I always thought you could take your pick last game of the season.

^^^ Sky have the rights to show 128 live games and BT Sport 52 games in the season. Neither of them wanted to waste their quota showing all of the final games.

They are all being shown live in 150 other countries though.

It's always nice to finish the season with a win.

Anything else that may occur as a consequence is a bonus.

Anyone staying in Brighton, I recommend Billies cafe for breakfast -order the Farmhouse hash, with an extra egg.

You won't need to eat again until Tuesday.

It there's a mob that doesn't do beach mode......it's us.....let alone the manager buying that for one second.

There's absolutely nothing in the history of this group that indicates anyone thinks that way....ever.

Let alone when something is up for grabs.

It's on the NBC streaming service Peacock over here so there should be plenty of decent streams

Time to hopefully end the Brighton jinx..what with Brentford doing to double over us this season, hopefully the two Bristol clubs, Bradford etc never cross our paths for a long time.

It’s amazing, last season it wasn’t officially confirmed we’d be in a European competition until the penultimate game. Just like this season. It was just a case of which European competition. All we had to do was win to guarantee we’d be in the Europa League. 1 year later and here we are again in a similar predicament. Only this time we also have to rely on another game as well as needing to win.

Last season we had the pressure of the Spuds breathing down our necks if we slipped up. This season it’s our turn to breath down someone’s neck. In this instance, Manchester United.

We know we will have the Europa Conference as a minimum. And anything else is a bonus. Whether we can finally end the Brighton hoodoo, who knows. But I fully expect the players to be up for it tomorrow and I am sure they’ll give it their best shot. They’ve had the taste of the Europa League, and I am sure Rice and co will be thirsty for more.

I remember that game - absolutely awful and yes, it rained non stop all day and our stand was open to the elements. Drenched and miserable. A day that is still etched in my memory over 30 years later!

Good point. That's a great feeling

As someone said UTJ, we cant slip a place, we can really go for it and hopefully put pressure on man utd game when scores filter through. I think we need an out charge and early goal.

I mean it doesn't matter if we cock up does it.

No point. It's all pebbles down in Brighton.
