    How do you know Ulloa did, and Deeney didn't. Sorry, I'm not really seeing your point here. Players always want to leave when someone higher offers a contract - if they don't go they generally carry on. Calderon is a good example.

    W1A

    It's always come across as very 'The Thick of it' light to me. Is it still particularly relevant to take the mick out of corporate speak? It doesn't appear to have many other strings to its bow.

    Hughton out

    New thing? Have you forgotten the amount of shit that idiots gave Dean White when he was here? Blaming assistant managers is one of the top idiotic things it's possible to do as a football fan.

    Football programmes, are they outdated?

    Feel like programmes could still serve a purpose, but we stopped buying them because they got way too expensive and are just full of too much guff. Would definitely pay a pound or two for a simple squad list, managers notes, opposition notes (always thinking "where have I seen him before?) and...

    Schoolboy goalkeeping.

    You can never say with 100% certainty where a free kick is going to be struck, obviously, but that's the whole point of the wall. To position a wall and then at the very last moment step behind it is a very strange thing to do. Obviously it could have gone that way and then he would have been in...

    Schoolboy goalkeeping.

    I find to astonishing that people are able to write so much guff defending Stockdale in this case. He's not,a bad keeper, he's fine to have in the team, but he made a howler there. What's the point of the wall if you step behind it when the ball is struck? When we see it again, I'm confident...

    Orlando

    Pick what you want to do and buy tickets! 7 days is not enough to do all the parks - don't try and go to one every day as it will be miserable. I would go to both Universal parks, Magic Kingdom and Busch Gardens. Try visiting one of the Disney resort hotels (Polynesian Village, for example) as...

    Why the gate?

    Can't you just walk through the seats rather than the concourse? We do that between North stand and West Lower often.

    Concert Ticket Prices

    Not really bothered how much the heritage acts charge - you know you're paying a massive amount for that kind of 'see them once before they die' thing. It amazes me how quickly newer bands prices go up now though - bands with one album should not be charging upwards of £20 for a ticket at...

    Restaurant 2015

    From memory they have the three draught ales, which I assume will rotate, a selection of Euro fizz (Heineken, Numbers etc.), Samuel Adams, a couple of Meantimes (think it was Yakima Red and London Pale). Can't remember if they have Brewdog on tap though.

    Restaurant 2015

    Me and Mrs Spider decided to try out The Urchin tonight. For those not versed, and it's definitely missed some buzz because of the hype around The Salt Room, it's the first pub owned by the people behind Small Batch Coffee. It is where The Bell used to be, in Hove (handily around a 3 minute walk...

    i360 is going ahead. Former potential investor has been arrested.

    Why would West Brighton be a no mans land without i360?

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    Well this is fun... Was all set to be going to Ryan Adams, just trying out my earplugs after giving them a wash. Sadly the little filter that goes in them didn't come out with the rest of the plug and is now lodged down my ear canal. So at the moment doesn't look like I'll be going anywhere for...

    i360 is going ahead. Former potential investor has been arrested.

    £6m private backing, £4m lottery money (or something), £36m interest loan from council. It's all very well talking about interest and wider community benefit, but if the tower fails financially (which, as I said before, based on their projections is a very real possibility), we're stuck with a...

    i360 is going ahead. Former potential investor has been arrested.

    I'm of the opinion that the i360 could be a boost to that particular area - you can see already that businesses are arriving and banking on an upsurge in tourism when it arrives - trendy eateries like The New Club and The Salt Room are both examples. Given that it's slap bang in the touristy...

    Comedy 2015

    Stewart Lee. Not interested in many others. And just the mention of his name means your plea for the thread not to descend into bitching and sniping will likely fall on deaf ears!

    Pearson gone ??

    I don't tend to get too wound up about the off the ball antics but it has been very weird watching the collected football press set coyly trying to pass off Pearson's behaviour as just 'bizarre', when, if it was many other football characters who are less highly thought of, there would be...

    WTF are the doing here in the first place?

    I'm not convinced that sorting people who are willing to put a small bit of effort into being given permission to enter the country and those who are willing to put none (the thousands you talk of) would be such a bad thing?

    Question Time Wrexham

    Is Welsh NHS worse than England's? Blah blah blah blah blah Dimbleby asks - 'does the fact that people don't pay for prescriptions in Wales mean there's a lot less money to spend on healthcare?' 'Yes' answers everyone. Well that was hard.

    Death Of The Hat-Trick Lottery?

    It was a disgrace when they changed it from a proportion of takings from tickets sold to a flat rate £500. Anyone buying them now is being totally and utterly mugged off.
