Had hoped this would have been us cementing 2nd place but the positive I can take out of today is that the last league game of the season isn't our last game of the season.
Just get some early goals reds and lets make sure we're back in with the big boys next year.
Lot at stake for both Liverpool and Chelsea today - minimum £30+M even if you lose all the group games next year - not to be sniffed at.
But let's not forget that there is a bit at stake for both Brighton and Newcastle here. Something like £12M difference between finishing 10th to 16th.
As you say ....

'This game could be worth more to Newcastle'
Newcastle v Chelsea (15:00 BST)

Match of the Day commentator
It's considered vulgar to talk money, yet with Newcastle the topic of finance is never far away.
Is the club any closer to being sold? How much will Rafa Benitez get to spend this summer?
With £2m more in prize money per Premier League place, there could be a small transfer budget boost from winning this final game. Lose - and they could potentially drop five places and lose £10m!
Chelsea missing out on the top four will cost them much more.
They'll obviously start by believing they can still get there, but if news comes through of Liverpool beating Brighton, then this game - prize-wise - becomes more important to Newcastle than the FA Cup finalists.
