MANCHESTER. (Sept 24, 2020) — The following statement was released today by Ask The Opposition, through his personal attorney and business manager Solius, Chairman of Solius & Associates National Corp Horizon Outreach, Inc. (“SANCHO”) located in the UK., in response to questions about his future career plans:

“I’m back.”

Yes it's back! I have decided in the last minute that ATO is returning. I will willingly spread myself across the internet for you and ask the oppo the big hard hitting questions before each game.

I need some help from you all though. Please submit any questions you'd like to ask the opposition each time. I'll make on thread for you to submit the questions in the week leading up to a game and then a second thread which collates all the answers, usually the day before or day of the game.

It's quite short notice but since we play Brighton twice I can always move it to the Carabao Cup game if it takes a while to get responses.

Please submit your questions for Brighton fans below.

Not yet mate.
Looks like SANCHO is still at the 'monitoring the possibility of preparing to think about submitting a bid question' stage. :(

Question:

I have been quite impressed with the last few performances from Brighton, and Potter seems to have coached the side very well indeed and made some shrewd signings.

- What have you noticed is the biggest difference Potter has made since he took over the side? And what are Brighton's ambitions this year, survival once again or targeting a cup run, or something greater?

Question:

What hopes do you have for Maupay this season? If he does have a good season, do you see him moving on?

Questions:

There are two swedes in the team, and one of them has played a lot in the cups. How has he been doing, does he have any chance of taking a spot in your first team? And the other one?

Also, you have an assistant coach that is Swedish. What is the picture of him from the supporters?

God a decent amount of questions now that I've done myself to be included with those submitted. I'll leave it open for another half hour and then send these off to Brighton fans.

What does the rivalry with Palace mean to you guys? I got talking to a Palace fan a few years ago and he revealed that he absolutely hated Brighton, which took me aback as I didn't anybody hated you lot whatsoever. Let us know if Eagles v Seagulls is still broiling away in 2020.

Good question.

Are you surprised Lewis Dunk hasn't drawn strong interest from one of the "bigger" sides (no offence), and do you think he should be making a push for the England squad considering the current options (or lack thereof) at Southgate's disposal.

Decent one too. Ok closing for questions now!

Is it true that Brighton is submerged under the sea for three hours a day at high tide?

I'm interested in hearing their opinion on Potter's philosophy and tactics. I've already read a few of @The Boy 's posts on that topic here which were insightful.

Also, this:

I've liked Dunk myself for a while now. His composure helps Brighton play out from the back so much.

The thread is up if you want to read it.

Also everyone hide your faces from Yagami.
