Ian Wright on MOTD 2: “If I’m a Brighton fan, I don’t think I’d get over that.” Alex Scott points out it’s the third time they’ve received an apology from Howard Webb. Wrighty, looking up to the heavens: “Jesus, man.” #BHAFC

There's no point to VAR if Michael Salisbury doesn't refer Stuart Attwell to the monitor to look again at his clear and obvious error in not awarding a penalty for Hojbjerg on Mitoma. #BHAFC #TOTBHA

The standard of performance by Stuart Attwell and VAR Michael Salisbury in the Spurs v Brighton game was awful and they both deserve to serve a suspension. Brighton should have had two penalty kicks. 1.Clear trip on Mitoma and . 2 Holding by Spurs Langley.

Good luck to Graham Potter at Chelsea. #CFC A good man and a fine coach. Deserves his crack at a big next step. I hope he gets a warm ovation back at the Amex on October 29. #BHAFC Life goes on. Manager No.22 to deal with next. That’s two teams!

“Will I still be Chelsea manager if we…” - lose 6 games in a row - go 11 games without a win - go 14 games without winning at home - go 3 months without scoring at home No club or chairman would stand by that manager would they? Yes. #BHAFC
