Inigo Calderon says he knows exactly how Albion’s 4,000 fans will feel at White Hart Lane tonight.

He just hopes they don’t lose any sleep about the result.

The Seagulls’ popular right-back has visited several Premier League grounds as a spectator as he immerses himself in English footballing culture.

Some fans might recall the night he scored his first goal for the club, at Charlton almost five years ago.

We all thought it was his first visit to The Valley until he revealed he had found his way there by tube not too long before and stood in a packed away end supporting his mate Manuel Almunia playing for Arsenal.

So he will identify with the thrill of being among a big travelling contingent on a cup night in the capital.

But he insists the players are feeling the highs and lows just as much as the fans – if not more so.

Calderon told The Argus: “I went to see Tottenham against Liverpool three seasons ago. It was freezing but I like football, I like Premier League teams and it was a good day out.

“I’ve been to Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, The Emirates, a lot of stadia.

“I enjoy the experience. I love English football. That’s why I am here.

“When you are inside the game it is even more special when you have been on the outside.

“I’m not going to lie. I know exactly how the fans feel – and maybe even more so.

“When you are a player, you are a footballer 24/7 and you don’t rest well, you are so worried because of the game. You start to think about what you have done, how you can improve.”

Calderon admits he has been taking worries home with him during the club’s ten-game winless run in the Championship.

Since arriving as an unknown free agent at the start of 2010, he has enjoyed some great times with his only English club.

But he is also their lone survivor from what, for a few months, was a battle against relegation from League One in 2009-10.

He said: “When you are in a good situation, sometimes you can even forget about the game (when you go home).

“You recover better because you sleep better, you are happier and, when you are happier, you feel much better.

“So you are ready to play better in games. It is like a circle. When you are on a bad run it’s the same but in the opposite way. You feel worse. You start to think too much.

“After you concede a goal it’s like having a big stone on your shoulders. When you are the other way, you concede a goal and it’s like ‘Doesn’t matter boys, we can do it’.

“That is why we now have to be stronger, we have to be all together and do all the small details that maybe in a good moment you forget about.

“Make sure we do everything right because that is the only way to escape from this situation and maybe have a better life soon!

“Against Rotherham, when we conceded that goal early in the second half it was like a big stone you can’t carry with you.

“But we are not so far away. We have to react now. We have to do the best training session we can, then the best game we can. It’s little by little.”

He told fans: “I’m not going to promise we are going to win. I can’t promise we will put in a great performance.

“But I promise we will try our best to have a good game and try to win it.”
