Our GOALS: provide an historical database of records from 1999, including current Prem targets & Players apps.

Past REPORTS; Our Mission - pre & post from 2002-03.
PRE-MATCH; was to let Brighton fans and other web browsers know a few things about opposition for the given fixture,
by way of facts & figs (stats) and one line opinion (or quotes) - apparently it was not just small talk.
POST MATCH; we thus built a database of records from turn of the century - when the web was a virtual phenomenon
and smart phones something for our future.

E-TALK: comments per PL fixture H & A
23/24 PREM:
12/8/23 Luton (H) - W 4-1 = 3.00pt/gm
On a good day things go right, on opening day you hope for a good one.

19/8/23 Wolves (A) - W 1-4 = 3.00pt/gm
On another day you get a good one, things go right and hope for more.

26/8/23 West Ham (H) - L 1-3 = 2.00pt/gm
It was another day but one when nothing went right and a helluva lot went wrong.

2/9/23 Newcastle (H) - W 3-1 = 2.25pt/gm
Good days, bad days, any day can be defined by who gets the goals.

16/9/23 Man Utd (A) - W 1-3 = 2.40pt/gm
Away days, good days, better days and suddenly terrific ones too.

24/9/23 Bournemouth (H) - W 3-1 = 2.50pt/gm
Home again and a Sunday to boot. But proof of the cherry pie is in the...

30/9/23 Aston Villa (A) - L 6-1 = 2.14pt/gm
On the road again after a good start to this campaign but things fall apart and it's a long way back.

8/10/23 Liverpool (H) - D 2-2 = 2.00pt/gm
We go ahead, they level then lead. We all stop for refreshment. We resume and equalise. And so it goes on...

21/10/23 Man City (A) - L 2-1 = 1.77pt/gm
If you see a flat performance for an hour do not expect to win in the last half hour.

29/10/23 Fulham (H) - D 1-1 = 1.70pt/gm
We were all over them like a rash but they rubbed it in after turnaround.

4/11/23 Everton (A) - D 1-1 = 1.63pt/gm
Keep ball can be because opposition let you have it. But beware their counter attacks.

12/11/23 Sheff Utd (H) - D 1-1 = 1.58pt/gm
An early goal can be a flash in the pan, as one is not enough to kill off opposition.

25/11/23 Forest (A) - W 2-3 = 1.69pt/gm
Going behind early means there is still plenty of time to change the score-line.

3/12/23 Chelsea (A) - L 3-2 = 1.57pt/gm
Play them off the park but concede twice and it's a mountain to climb.

6/12/23 Brentford (H) - W 2-1 = 1.66pt/gm
Give them a free hit and then play catch up. But still ok if scoring twice.

9/12/23 Burnley (H) - D 1-1 = 1.62pt/gm
As Xmas draws nearer it can seem like the time of goodwill to all teams.

17/12/23 Arsenal (A) - L 2-0 = 1.52pt/gm
Top sides will punish you unless you are at it for all of ninety plus mintes

21/12/23 Palace (A) - D 1-1 = 1.50pt/gm
In a derby do you go for broke from kickoff or save it for a final push?

28/12/23 Spurs (H) - W 4-2 = 1.57pt/gm
it was getting close to end of the year and suddenly the clock was ticking slowly.

2/1/24 West Ham (A) - D 0-0 = 1.55pt/gm
A new year, a new beginning and a first clean sheet!

22/1/24 Wolves (H) - D 0-0 = 1.52pt/gm
A warm-weather break away to practice scoring but the return to action was goalless.

30/1/24 Luton (A) - L 4-0 = 1.45pt/gm
Seagulls came home to roost when frailties of the flock were exposed in nose dive.

3/2/24 Palace (H) - W 4-1 = 1.52pt/gm
Our 'local derby' but a wide miss-match in terms of where we are in football.

10/2/24 Spurs (A) - L 2-1 = 1.45pt/gm
Its all about game management in final minutes, especially away from home.

18/2/24 Sheff Utd (A) - W 0-5 = 1.52pt/gm
VAR envokes rules and these decisions are turning points at any given moment.

24/2/24 Everton (H) - D 1-1 = 1.50pt/gm
Patience is a virtue when on top but failing to net. Then suddenly you are chasing the game

2/3/24 Fulham (A) - L 3-0 = 1.44pt/gm
Is it ok to make excuses when you get beat by three for no return?

10/3/24 Forest (H) - W 1-0 = 1.50pt/gm
What really matters at end of ninety-plus minutes? The score obviously.

31/3/24 Liverpool (A) - L 2-1 = 1.44pt/gm
You go to a top side and give it your all. But it's the result that finally counts.

3/4/24 Brentford (A) - D 0-0 = 1.43pt/gm
A fail to score plus a clean sheet equals a nil-nil result.

6/4/24 Arsenal (H) - L 0-3 = 1.38pt/gm
Competing at high level is one thing. Having sufficient ability to compete is another.

13/4/24 Burnley (A) - D 1-1 = 1.37pt/gm
Seeing a comedy of errors may not be that funny for travelling support.

25/4/24 Man City (H) -
