A couple of decent saves mostly routine tbh.

What you believe is that Newcastle won three on the spin and credit to them, whereas we took one point from three games. That is really all there is to it. In the three games previously, Albion took 9 points, Newcastle 1. It evened out. Unfortunate, especially as a keeper cock up caused it, but ask yourself this: Would you have taken 2nd place two months ago?

I'm over it. We are going up. That said, I'll try and avoid the media who will be all over the awesome Newcastle. Fair play though, they did what they needed to do.
If I'd have been offered automatic promotion before the first ball was kicked this season, I'd have shaken their hand so fast and tightly I'd have broken their fingers.
If we'd have secured second with a draw today we'd be going batshit mental right now.
UP THE ALBION.

The part about mentally checking out after the Wigan game is hard to argue against.Another ludicrous comment, and from someone who probably hasn't been to a game all season. [emoji38]ol: They've just won promotion. To the premier league. And you think that makes them unprofessional?43 games of the highest standard this season and you feel comfortable sitting on your sofa, beer in hand and complain they look devastated? Just wow.

The first one was more of a kick of my wife's serving tray.

You matched our 93 points from last season....so can count yourselves a bit unlucky not to lift the trophy.

I'd have taken play offs again, looking at the quality of clubs that came down. We have outdone expectations without a doubt. But that 89th minute howler, oh boy. I shall go get my hair cut and forget it.

I'd rather win titles than be satisfied with finishing in the bottom 5-6 in the PL. Winning titles leaves lasting memories. Today could have been a wonderful life long memory and now it's something to look back and be greatly disappointed in seeing the same old same clubs win the titles while we have people happy to finish second.

I fully agree. And we wouldn't have been playing for the title today if it wasn't for his performances this season. None of that will be making him feel any better right now. That's the only point I'm making: he'll be devastated and I feel really bad for him.

Takes the shine off of it, but it's still been an amazing season.
Looking forward to seeing how we fare in the top league now, which may or may not involve our Nigel friends.

Very disappointing last 3 games, but a fantastic performance over the previous 43 to get in that position.
Nothing wrong with moaning about the last 3 (and no, it doesn't make one less of a fan to criticize where it's due), but it would be wrong to look at the last 3 in isolation.
Immense credit to the club to get us in a position where we're sad about not winning titles despite wrapping up promotion weeks ago.
We succeeded where we failed before.
We're playing Crystal Palace again.
We're Brighton and Hove Albion.
We're Premier League.

Depends how many games you've been to watch I suppose
Would offer you some perspective, something you CLEARLY are lacking in.

Seems more than a few people really aren't that disappointed. They are so enamored with the plastic PL they aren't that fussed about missing out on something the club has never achieved in winning the title.

I wouldn't worry too much, I have seen Sunderland lift the Championship title twice (or whatever it was called before) however its not something I really even recall. If after today you stay up for the next 10 seasons say you will not remember what happened with coming second.
The biggest moment for me was the loss in the Milk cup a couple of seasons back, proudest day walking up Wembley way that day, more than beats winning the championship and should be the sort of things Brighton strive for in the PL
