Our GOALS: provide an historical database of records from 1999 to 2022, including current Prem targets & Players apps.

Past REPORTS; Our Mission - pre & post from 2002-03 to 2022-23.
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.

22/23 PREM: Aug - Mar:
7/8/22 Man Utd (A) - W 1-2 = 3.00pt/gm
That proverbial game of two halves but goals change events not possession.

13/8/22 Newcastle (H) - D 0-0 = 2.00pt/gm
It is the winter game but in full summer heat there is no chill in getting a point.

21/8/22 West Ham (A) - W 0-2 = 2.33pt/gm
There is something to be said about returning to a ground which offers points with pints for each outlay.

27/8/22 Leeds (H) - W 1-0 = 2.50pt/gm
Make every goal a winner and even one goes a long way for gaining rewards.

30/8/22 Fulham (A) - L 2-1 = 2.00pt/gm
Which Albion actually turned up after all that talk of going top of the league?

4/9/22 Leicester (H) - W 5-2 = 2.16pt/gm
Every so often, like the park & ride bus, two come along... then three, four... five.

1/10/22 Liverpool (A) - D 3-3 = 2.00pt/gm
Off to a big old stad but in this new regime the order is to attack, attack, attack.

8/10/22 Spurs (H) - L 0-1 = 1.75pt/gm
It becomes a game of fine margins when one side edges it and the other has to react or lose. It is what happens in between those datum points that counts.

14/10/22 Brentford (A) - L 2-0 = 1.55pt/gm
On a night to forget you only actually remember goals and not dominating possession.

18/10/22 Forest (H) - D 0-0 = 1.50pt/gm
It'll be all right on the night... won't it? Only if we take our chances...

22/10/22 Man City (A) - L 3-1 = 1.36pt/gm
No good moaning about slo-mo replays and Refs at big-six grounds. The result cannot be changed, only the next performance.

29/10/22 Chelsea (H) - W 4-1 = 1.50pt/gm
No better way to bag an initial victory than against the bloke whose job you got.

5/11/22 Wolves (A) - W 2-3 = 1.61pt/gm
When you've got a spare man, is that really such an advantage in a crowded final third?

13/11/22 A Villa (H) - L 1-2 = 1.50pt/gm
Anything you say about underestimating opposition was bourne out by facts at the end of 90+8 minutes.

* * * WORLD CUP - QATAR * * *

26/12/22 Southampton (A) - W 1-3 = 1.60pt/gm
Yuletide or otherwise, loving your neighbour is not the way to go when points are at stake.

31/12/22 Arsenal (H) - L 2-4 = 1.50pt/gm
Last day of the year but the lights went out early doors and celebrations were on hold again until '23.

3/1/23 Everton (A) - W 1-4 = 1.58pt.gm
The best bit of winning well after a long journey is the enjoyment going home.

14/1/23 Liverpool (H) - W 3-0 = 1.66pt/gm
Scousers are red, Seagulls like blue, the sky was grey, the away end too.

21/1/23 Leicester (A) - D 2-2 = 1.63pt/gm
Twists and turns, hits & misses, decisions & VAR - that's typical Prem football.

4/2/23 Bournemouth (H) - W 1-0 = 1.70pt/gm
Over 90+ minutes you want the ball to break just once... as long as keep a clean sheet.

11/2/23 Palace (A) - D 1-1 = 1.66pt/gm
So much possession was a springboard for scoring. But a vital slip can end in a splash.

18/2/23 Fulham (H) - L 0-1 = 1.59pt/gm
Ditto above with knobs on - and at home too.

4/3/23 West Ham (H) - W 4-0 = 1.65pt/gm
We luv it when a plan comes together and the planner is sitting up in the stands.

11/3/23 Leeds (A) - D 2-2 = 1.62pt/gm
It had snowed, was cold, way up into Yorkshire and a long road to travel for just a point.

15/3/23 Palace (H) - W 1-0 = 1.68pt/gm
Every now and then a result hangs in balance as obtuse cause & effect takes place.
