I know it's late, it's like 2:33am when I have started writing this. Didn't get home til 1.15am and I am on such a buzz! I never did drugs, I prefer to kill myself on alcohol and tobacco, but if I were on drugs then this is a high octane feeling... powdered pure petrol and 20 grams of it snorted in one! Probably more expensive than crack anyway.
Tonight was sublime, seeing Vicente orchestrate a football match must have been like watching Beethoven in some grand hall in Vienna back in the 1800's. I'm sure Beethoven had his favourite musician and Lua Lua played it out perfectly tonight, hitting all the notes as battened by the master. And the performing cast weren't to bad either. The symphony was perfectly played in the great Amex hall.
Nights like tonight have all of us, one and all, the family of Brighton, swooning with admiration and it is a pleasure to come home and read it. I would have read it on my victorious chariot back to London, alas, sadly my battery went out on the great handheld story teller.
Getting away from pompous shite I am writing... it is nice to see everyone together tonight, it is unusual and heart warming. I still think we need to learn a lesson or two regarding the high horse posting. I totally disagree that Derby were dirty, they made a few bad challenges, but we have seen that all season, and as their forum rightly points out, who are we to judge? Whether we deserve the accolade or not, we sit on the base of the dirtiest teams league. I actually felt refreshed by the refs leniency because yellows and reds just ruin games.
Apart from the final ten minutes when we seemed to go into underdrive and made the stats look better for Derby, we were just 100% in control. We bossed the game from the back to the front and vice versa. Until the final few minutes I don't remember missing a heartbeat because of a Derby threat. It was for all intents and purposes the finest performance I have seen us put together this season (for the games I have seen). Not just for the dominance, but the pressure of the play offs and on the back of a pretty ordinary performance on the past Saturday. Immense would sum it up for me.
I hate to see (as many now know) the constant barrage of negativity towards our manager, players, squad, coaches, et al. We have far to many moaners, whiners, NSC Brighton managers, people that think they can talk good tactics and yet at the end of the day, personally, I find it all very embarrassing that some of you can actually write these things, post them and live by it. We all make embarrassing posts, don't we? But sometimes the same people post the same shit over and over again, to the point where you think they really do think they can do better jobs. Through thick or thin I think we are better off just sticking with what we are given and enjoy the ride. From the depths of League 1 to 4th in the Championship with some 8 games left til the end of the season tells me that our club are doing something right, despite the detractors.
So can I just put something to the table here. Can we try and agree to push the team home for the remaining few games... show positivity and catapult them to the finish line. Please? Pretty please? You know you want to, you know you love BHAFC, so let's go that extra mile for the last few and be positive. Well I will be whatever... I wanted safety in the summer and tonight we got it mathematically. The rest is a rollercoaster and I'll support it whatever twists and turns come our way.
Can we all do it as one voice? I'm sure I'll get a volley of abuse somewhere from this, but I'm a bit buzzed up right now so I don't care.
Wow that took me 23 minutes!!!
