Maybe Brighton will surprise us like they did Man Utd, and go a goal up!, then it could get nervy on Sunday, but... I doubt it. I think we'll easily win. However, I thought that about the Stoke and West Brom games, I just hope the boys are focused and haven't got one eye on the final..

CL is sealed. We are not losing on Sunday and in fact I don't see Chelsea winning away to Newcastle anyway

We should be right but the possibility of a complete fook up will remain right the way through the last game.  Right now we have 11 players who do not want to miss the CL final and they know nobody on the bench threatens their spot. Mentally that can't be could good for the Brighton game.

Well hopefully Klopp's mate at Huddersfield has made our task against Brighton a little easier. The same couldn't be said of Rafa but who knows Newcastle may just stuff Chelsea on Sunday !!

That has been one of our problems in recent weeks.

With a week to recover and prepare for a home game I just can't see us losing to Brighton. We're undefeated at home in the league.

For me, weekend is more about us winning and hoping spurs drop points v Leicester so we finish 3rd rather than not letting Chelsea beating us to top 4.

The Chelsea fans were calling Rafa a fat Spanish waiter when he was their manager, I'm sure he will want nothing more than to beat them on Sunday. Shocking how they treated him.

Everything has gone in our favour concerning the top 4. If we mess this up we have no one to blame but ourselves. If we lose to Brighton we would have gained 2 points out of a possible 12 points.. which would be appalling as the only tough game was Chelsea themselves.

True. He won them the Ueffa League/Cup too and they still abused him.

Mind you, I've not much sympathy for Rafa. WTF was he doing there in the first place?

Presumably he got a load of money from Vlad the Impaler Abramovich, that's why....

We'll beat Brighton making it 5 out of a possible 12. Not stellar but considering we had a CL quarterfinal and semis should be taken into account when judging.

It was a top offer and he's a top manager,its not his fault Chelsea fans wouldn't recognize the word class if it was on a billboard in their fucking front garden.

We can still finish third yet if Tottenham draw Sunday.
