And hasn't done abysmal at Brighton so what's your point ? No manager is going to be successful at every club with maybe the odd exception

The playoffs are a bit of a lottery as has been seen in previous years.

He was a gee hair away from automatic promotion. 46 games played and lose out by just 2 goals. Joint top scorers in the division.

Typical case of knocking your own.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Exactly. No doubt Norwich fans wished Alex Neil had a similarly 'abysmal' season this year!

I imagine since he didn't play Wes every game and for every single minute some people don't like him (as stupid as that is).

It is possible to be British and Irish and Chris may well see himself as such.

Brilliant job by Hughton. Imagine how many jobs the media would link him with if he was one of those gobby managers who constantly went on about how great they are ala Allardyce or Pardew.
"I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," .... He said 'No-one speaks to me like that'.... and I said, "well I do' and that was that."

Everywhere reporting that they were kept up after last night, while very unlikely, Southampton can still finish a point above them as they've still 3 games to play.

Brighton still to play both City & Liverpool away too.

One of Southampton's games is against Swansea so at least one of those two is dropping points. Hence Brighton are mathematically safe.

No, theyre not LOL Thats my point. Theyre not mathematically safe just yet. While highly unlikely, if Southampton with their 3 remaining games and Brighton lose their 2 they could still be relegated.

No they can’t be relegated because one of those games is against Swansea who can only finish on a maximum of 39 if they lost to Southampton Confused

Look at the table again. Brighton are on 40.

West Brom (28 points, 2 games to play) cannot overtake Brighton.
Stoke (33 points as it stands beating Palace, 1 game to play) cannot overtake Brighton.
With Swansea (33 points, 3 games to play) to play Southampton (32 points, 3 games to play), they cannot both overtake Brighton - as in, one of those two will finish on less than 40.

If Swansea win, Southampton can only get to 38. If Southampton win, Swansea can only get to 39. If it is a draw, Swansea can only get to 40 and Southampton to 39. Regardless, 40 points is enough to beat the lowest finisher of those two.

All that being the case, Brighton are mathematically safe. If three teams below are incapable of getting 40 points, which is the case, they're safe.
