Well.
Not that old shit again, do you really think Tony Bloom would compromise himself by telling his team to lose especially with a chance of European football? Any disgruntled employee from the players, management and staff would soon spill the beans on that, Bloom made a fortune analysing football games, not fixing them.Hmmm odds of around 8/1 for an Everton win,maybe the brighton owner has had a Bob or two on ..

That’s not to say spot betting hasn’t happened previously (or even now on certain games, leagues) but it’s been direct from the offenders to the players through intermediaries.
It means that they’ll have confidence at the back of their minds that even if we go a goal up it won’t matter cos they’ll feel they can win their last two games after us - ie as you say they won’t be as desperate against us.I actually think them winning today is a great result for us ahead of our trip to Goodson.
They will have real hope (and be less desperate) and will be slightly more motivated to have a go at us, which will open up the pitch more than if they lost this.
It’s what you do with it. Having the ball is the most important thing in football because you can only score when you’ve got the ball and the opponents can’t (unless it’s City v Boro!).Brighton 0-3 Everton
Brighton - 76% possession, 0 goals
Everton - 24% possession, 3 goals
Possession is so overated
I’ve been done!I think he was joking mate
