Yep, very clever move but I’m more Sussex than England, so that parts fine by me.
Hearing 2 home games, and 2 away games so potentially 4. If he performs (he’s quite literally one of the best red-ball batsman in the world) and we win 3 or so those 4 games it will certainly help us get promoted.
Completely appreciate what you’re saying - but come on, how exciting is Smith and Pujara in the same batting line up?
This is Division two we are talking about. This is huge! Appreciate Smith’s a cheat but if he brings us success and back to Division one.. I’m all for it :wink:
Oh joy.
Would love to know how much of our budget this sick-note costs us.
Great bowler on his day, and one of the fastest in the world, clearly. But I’d get rid tomorrow.
Arsenal
West Ham
Chelsea (moving closer to West Ham since the whole Marcus Alonso / Graham Potter business)
Crystal Palace
In that order.
I’d say the same to any Brighton fan who hates Totttenham because of 1978, as I’d say to a Hereford fan who hates Brighton because of 1997.
96/97 was a 46...
Agreed… but not surprised.
But the worst part for me is the time it’s taken to announce these time/dates. Waiting for the League Cup draw is not a defence in my opinion, they could’ve assumed Man City & Man United were going to get through and avoided putting their games on the Friday or Monday...
Is there a chance they could be waiting for tonight’s League Cup semi-final draw? Those 2 legs are scheduled for W/C 23/01 & W/C 30/01.
Needs to be soon though - first games in 16 days. Can probably rule out City v Arsenal* or United v Reading from being the Friday or Monday games with the...
Yeah, you’re probably right.
As you know - these transfers windows cause all sorts of nonsense rumours.
This is a club that let Kieran Trippier go though, and replaced him with Serge Aurier so who knows what to think.
Time will tell.
I’d take him at Spurs.
SSN were reporting us signing him as a RWB and if that is the case, the transfer wouldn’t surprise me at all. He can only be an upgrade on Emerson Royal, Matt Doherty & Djed Spence (this might sound unfair given his limited game time but apparently he’s got an awful...
Usually about 3 days after the draw.
Given the first game of the round is in 18 days time, I can’t see them being announced much later than Thursday despite the fact they don’t actually care about match-going supporters.
