The circus was in town this time last week.
Now the visitors have gone home and we have tidied up after them.
The debate over Arsenal time-wasting and anti-football, largely sparked by Fabian Hurzeler, has abated.
Hurzeler’s comments gave the many members of national and international media at the Amex exactly what they wanted.
It was a story from the Brighton camp which wasn’t really about Brighton.
It was about a team who attract a lot more eyeballs and online traffic.
We have had that before, a great example being the speculation about Danny Welbeck and England.
National media can come down and do sort of a Brighton story but actually it’s an England story.
But what we are really interested in from the Arsenal game is how did Albion play?
That is what matters going into these final games.
What were they lacking and did they let slip an opportunity?
One thing that became clear from the national coverage of the Arsenal game is that the Amex is officially “a tough place to go” again.

Mikel Arteta, Gabriel and Bukayo Saka said it interviews. It was also referred to in commentaries.
At half-time, BBC 5 Live handed back to presenter Mark Chapman who commented on the hostile atmosphere at a venue which he described as too “nice” at times.
Buoyed by two wins, Albion were good even without a spinal cord of Lewis Dunk, James Milner and Danny Welbeck.
There was quality, composure and confidence across the pitch.
TNT Sports co-commentator Lucy Ward complimented their “tee to green” game.
Some of the football they played looked better watching the game back than it did in real time, when you are more focused on the state of the game, how long left, who’s coming on as sub and all the nuts and bolts.
But the feeling during the match was that the quality, composure and confidence were lacking in and around the penalty area.
And that is where there is room to improve.
Just that one moment which can make a difference in this season and this league of very fine margins.
Hurzeler tried to get the focus on Albion's performance during his now pretty infamous post-match press conference last Wednesday.
But, for the vast majority of reporters in that room, the Brighton storyline was not: How did Brighton play?
It was: What did Brighton think of Arsenal?
There was a lot to like about Albion during 53 minutes of actual action but also things to improve.
The sort of things which win you matches
That bit of quality and composure at the sharp end.
Hurzeler said: “In the final third, we could be more clinical, more calm, we could make, better decisions.
“Then we could even create more chances.
“We have to keep working on the details. We have to keep improving the small margins in the final third to create more chances.”
The Arsenal game will have given a lot of examples of good work lacking that final moment.
And those are the question and answers which really matter from last week’s events.
