Originally posted by Part Time James Firstly I am amused it has happened as they are a rival. Secondly Palace have done pretty well out of the playoffs. However, you are bang right. The playoffs are a cruel system and if I was to comment without bias, the team that finishes 3rd in the league should be promoted if 3 are going up. We all know why it happens though. ..so does the team that finishes third.

In this futility, they're still trying to be us, and falling short. Palace hold most of the records of futility in getting relegated from the Prem; Brighton hold most of the records of futility in not getting into the Prem. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

I don't have the same level of animosity as others towards Brighton for obvious reasons but it would have been interesting to see them back at the top level for the first time since what must have been 1983. (The FA Cup Final year) Wednesday have been involved so many times before in the premier league it would have been nice to see an outsider for a change and to think they were but one goal away from an automatic promotion on the final day, sorry, but that's got to be hard to take. I don't believe they'll get that close again next season or beyond, but they've still done very well for themselves this last nine months.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Brighton Bottled and Broken, Brilliant!' by SloveniaDave Couldn't see a thread confirming their fate after the 1-1 draw with Swfc. Considering they went 22 games without losing and many tipped to return to the premier league, many of us even disputing whether they'd prefer them to come up, how glorious is it that they missed out on automatic qualification by a 2 goal difference on the last day to then get outplayed by the team in 6th over 2 games preventing them from even the satisfaction of a Wembley play-off final. Couldn't have been scripted better in my honest opinion. Edit: oops, apologies for thread misplacement. Edited by Adamoc123 (16 May 2016 11.36pm) The First 90 Minutes Are The Most Important!
