Why the obsession amongst some of our fans with clapping Chris Highton tomorrow?

Some fans seem to be taking some sort of perverse pleasure in Brighton's promotion at our expense, practically falling over themselves to give them a standing ovation or a guard of honour.

F**k off. I hope we smash them. They won't care but if at least hope our players want it enough to try and burst their bubble a little bit. And anyone who gives a standing ovation to them or the man who basically got us relegated is the type of fan straight from the "cult of Delia" who has contributed to our downfall over recent seasons by being too concerned about being nice and lovable and not concerned enough about genuinely competing on the pitch.

I've actually nothing against Hughton (it was our idiot board who kept him on too long) but I hope we can at least temporarily p**s on their chips.
