Shame for GP/WB but it does seem to be a unlucky award. Cant wait for the Leeds match. Got a feeling in my water CMS is going to end his drought :D

a lucky escape perhaps and Birmingham jinxed? Correct decisions in fairness but history says we won't regret missing out on these awards :)

I'm sorry but this talk of jinxing is nonsense. What deity is it who is going to blight your or the Albion's life by Gus winning an award? It certainly doesn't fit with God's persona.

Quite agree CB. Where is the evidence of these awards being jinxed?

If Brighton and Cardiff lose, and Birmingham win, tomorrow, does it suddenly make it a 'lucky' award or does the jinx disappear?

- Oh yes - and you've met God have you? Good friend of yours is he? Let's hope he's wearing blue and white tomorrow!

Claude Back and Cabion fever have it right - there is no such thing about a jinx! Do a quick Google search on 'regression toward the mean' if you don't believe us.

What's all this superstition, I'll bet my lucky seagulls boxers that winning awards has no effect on results. I'll be keeping my lucky seagulls scarf though.
But what do I know?

If gus had to be beaten for the award then Chris Hughton is the one to take the honours,he was treated badly by Newcastle and has done very well at Birmingham

To be fair we never one a game when Vicente was playing before he was injured so if that's another superstition broken then I'll be well happy.

Yep, nail on the head. No jinx, just inevitable that the awards go to people on an exceptional run of form, which on average cannot be sustained. They are stupid awards anyway. Excited for Saturday, just can't see us getting beaten, it's a draw or 1-0 albion for me!

No, God wouldn't go round spoiling things for anyone, ask Job.

Got a feeling for a 4-0 win for Seagulls tommorow,CMS to do well.

I'm afraid the evidence is there to see. It's akin to being passed the black spot by Blind Pew.

Davies must have played exceptionally well to have got the award in front of Buckley. Buckers has been sensational this month, the most dangerous player in the division bar none.

this was a brilliant bit of reporting on MSN earlier...

MSN columnist Matt Holland asks who was the easiest player and who was the most difficult to referee?
"Well, funny Matt should ask that question as he's probably just looking for a name check as he was a real gentleman on the pitch, but the best was actually Gianfranco Zola. I was once a fourth official when France was cautioned for diving, which was just ridiculous, and she just got on with it and gave his name and took it with good grace.

Anyone else spot the mistakes? haha

Yes we struggled last night against a strong, well organised and fairly decent side. Number 6, Trotter, stood out for me. Stong big and quick (rare combination) just the sort of player we could do with at times! Team selection odd and cost us the whole 3 points as I am fairly sure we would have turned them over in greater style if we had played a different team. Still, unbeaton in2012 and shouting distance of the playoffs, so not really much to be unhappy about!!

On another note, Just wanted to say what a disgrace a significant majority of Millwall's fans are. Aggressive, foul mouthed scum who go out of their way to "prove" themselves regardless of who is around them, woman, kids and the elderly. They think they are hard and threatening, but they are just morons who must live in the gutter and want eveyone to hate them. Ally clubs have their hard boys, but few like this rabble and fewer still that would show so much dis-respect for children, woman etc. Apologies in advance to any decent Millwall fans reading this, but many of your fans are just pond life (and thats not even fair to the inhabitents of murky green, stagnant water!
