None of us should get carried away with the fact that Albion top their four-team relegation mini-league for the first time since its creation shortly before Christmas.

There is still a long way to go, although I am not convinced catching Bradford or Walsall is beyond the Seagulls.

Albion entered the relegation zone last August after a 4-2 defeat byPortsmouth. They won't be in the bottom three for the first time since then for Saturday's trip to The Priestfield.

Last summer I predicted Albion would finish above seven teams in Division One. Needless to say, I have been reminded of this on more than one occasion during some of the darker moments of this campaign.

I realise it is probably a bit too much to ask but there is a possibility Albion could finish out of the bottom five. Bearing in mind one point was taken from a possible 39 in early season, that would be no mean feat.

Meanwhile, Paul Kitson has joined that minority of Brighton players to express their disappointment about certain sections of the Albion support.

I can see both sides of the argument and, before I'm accused of being a hypocrite, I freely admit that in my 29 years and ten months of supporting Albion, I have barracked players and managers.

It is a frustrating situation. Despite joking that Capital Radio's Doctor Fox had carried out Kitson's medical, there is no way chairman Dick Knight would have sanctioned the signing of an injured player.

On the flip side, the striker has been injured for the majority of his time at the club. A fit Kitson could have pitched in with half-a-dozen goals and the picture at the bottom of Division One might be totally different.

Punters pay their money and are entitled to their opinions. Money is tight and the sight of the crocked Kitson and underused Guy Butters sitting in the stand is irksome.

There's no getting away from it, both players are vastly experienced so therefore will be at the upper end of the wage structure. That is all well and good if they are playing week in week out but in the current situation their lack of activity is bound to upset supporters.

Things can change quickly. If injuries mean Butters plays his part and Kitson scores the goal that keeps Albion up, all gripes will be long-forgotten.

If you think Butters and Kitson are a waste of money, what about Mike Tyson on pay-per-view last weekend. Forty nine seconds for almost £15!

Never mind Cliff Ettiene, Cliff Richard would have given Tyson a better fight. Granted, it was a good punch but for £1million dollars I expected Tyson's opponent to do more than lie on the canvas and take his gum shield out.

The build-up was more entertaining as Tyson initially pulled out of the fight claiming he had flu, only to be offered a further million dollars to fight.

Miraculously, he recovered.

After the fight, Tyson claimed to have broken his back in a motorbike accident but had prayed to Allah and was made better. Osteopaths have been wasting their time for years!

Tyson, before Don King got involved, had the potential to be one of the great fighters of all time. He should have made mega-millions and retired. He is still rich but nothing more than a fighting freak.
