Once..
March 5th 1983. Goals from Tony Cottee & Alan Dickens completed a 2-1 comeback win in front of 16,850 fans at Upton Park.
Our total record against Brighton is 18 wins, 17 losses & 14 draws.
We played them 16 times between 1903 & 1914, then twice in 1923, twice in 1933 & then had a gap of forty five years before meeting them again in 1978.
They spanked us twice last season, winning 3 nil at our ground (on a Friday in October
) in one of the worst performances I can remember seeing us in recent years, then 3-1 at their place in February. They ended up 15th last season, two points & two places below us. They're also 15th at the moment, just below us, with five points and their only win was a 3-2 thriller at home to Man Utd.
They've won one, lost one & drawn one at The Amex and all three away teams scored two goals each. So as long as we only let in one goal we're definite winners
I can't see Pellegrini changing the team at all so.....
Flappyhandski
Zab Doowop General Masuaku
Noble Rice Obiang
Yarm Arnie Anderson
I was sure we were going to beat Chelsea & pretty certain we were going to draw with Man Utd so I'm saying nowt about this game, other than to say I don't think I'll be unhappy with the result.
On a side note I recently bought some jeans at Primark in Brighton. They're really fucking tight on the legs & loose around the waist. The material seems stretchy too. Fucking weird.
