No Words Needed ULLOA!!!!!! #bhafc @BrightonTogs #playoffs
Meanwhile, ten years ago
Come on then who's goal was more dramatic mine or Leo Ulloa.
4. In amidst the love for the Man from Argentina, Stephen Ward brought us right back in it.
"He shot, he scored, it must be Stephen Ward." #bhafc Thank the Lord for Stephen Ward.
But, whisper it. It was a patchy performance.

6. Remember it was Burnley keeper Tom Heaton who kept out Reading
Must say Tom Heaton was outstanding for Burnley. Thank you!
Tom Heaton's stunning late save so crucial for Brighton. Stellar performance again from Burnley. Ings ending the season with 26 goals
Thanks a lot to Tom Heaton and burnley. I heard that he made an unbelievable save late on in the game.#bhafc#playoffs#comeon
We didn't need Agent Barnes after all...
7. Oscar to CMS "Just go and do Something"
'The manager said go on and do something, I have waited and waited. It has been a long road. It is fantastic to come on and do something like that for the team. We can take a lot of confidence from this.'
""He couldn't play for a long time and he's getting fitter and fitter..To be involved in the goal made me feel very pleased for him." Is it the best substitution he has made this season? "I think I've made some good substitutions this season to get here," he said with a smile.
8. We did ourselves proud

Definition of marvellous scenes #bhafc
What. A. Moment. #BHAFC
@CISimonNelson No Brightoners are blue in Nottingham today! #bhafc
Here's what it meant in all its shaky, euphoric, swaying glory

meanwhile, back home...
And obviously you're going to bump into TB on the train clutching a can of Strongbow
Tony Bloom is a true man of the people / fans #bhafc
Brighton's fans once again summed up the phrase today: Football without fans is nothing. Exactly what this sport is about.
9. Matt Le Tissier became rather excited on Soccer Saturday
"The Brighton fans are going mental"
10. News at the City Ground didn't quite make it down to the Madejski
Reading fans didn't realise Brighton had won
Word eventually got through...
That's it. All over at Brighton, they have snuck into the play-offs in the dying seconds. Our season is over
Adkins: "The dressing room is low. It's not nice when you don't achieve what you wanted to do, but you finish where you deserve to."
"not his usual chirpy self"
This man not his usual chirpy self. Reading finished with one win in at home. Perhaps fortunate to even finish 7th
11. Tactically, Oscar got it right again
Oscar Garcia/snuck in the play offs based scenes #bhafc
Amongst his subs it was Kaz who provided the run for CMS to make *that* assist. He also kept faith with Leo despite a frustrating afternoon until the 92nd min.
OG's softly, softly style continued and paid off when it mattered most. Goal was constructed from deep via JFC. #bhafc
12. For those at home Kaz was right in our living rooms...
So this just happend, whole new meaning to 3rd eye? @SoccerAM @RocketSoccerAM
.@kazenga25 Ha! #bhafc
13. You've already watched this about 50 times haven't you...
"No complacency, but over the season they've tried to play in a similar style as us, but just haven't done it nearly as well. Looking forward to a trip to the seaside. Bring it on!""They play a possession game but aren't really that forceful Pretty to watch but quite pedestrian. If we don't beat these over 2 legs then it'll be a bit of a let down.""The two legs will be good games to watch, and I fancy us to beat em. And if we lose, we lost to a team playing the right way and I can take that. Rather that than be kicked off the pitch by those thugs at Wigan for 180+ minutes."
Over the last few weeks we have cemented our place in the play-offs and our level of performance hasn't dropped, but we are taking nothing for granted.Brighton will be buzzing after defeating Nottingham Forest and qualifying for the play-offs so we will take that into account.
15. Oscar - "we will be ready"
"I don't like to think about favourites and underdogs," said García. "It will be difficult for us, but we wanted to play this game; we will be ready, and we will be full of confidence."

16. So it ended like this. 13 points behind Derby.
But lets worry about Thursday next week. And after we've sorted our tickets. For now.
FT: ALBION IN THE PLAY OFFS!
UP THE ALBION!!!
