    London Mayor Sadiq Kahn

    Trump only likes you if you are useful. Remember his best mate Nigel Farage? Not invited to the celebration party and then denied a visa to even work in the US. Bannan's on the way out and Spicer's up too. Nato was an irrelevance, now it's really important. It's probably a tactic which is...

    Sean Dyche

    I would be sad to see him go, the big challenge he has is moving from a team who rely on looking not to loseto one which has a bit more about it going forward. I'm not sure who I'd want to replace him. Prior to Dyche we had Eddie Howe who was the opposite (needed to score 3 a match to guarantee...

    Sean Dyche

    Well, a Claret fan who posts on here but not sure I've stepped on any toes... In any case, would be surprised for Sean to go, he's a manager who knows very well how unstable management can be (see his time at Watford). That said perhaps he fancies a different club. If he does I'll wish him...

    Not Another Ashley Barnes Thread

    Claret fan here, Barnes has a lot of qualities which I'm a fan of. I watched him cover two roles (left mid when we defended and the main target man when we attacked) when we played with 10 men at Watford. Superb shift. We play 442 and, as has been pointed out by many a pundit, many teams in...

    O/T Shoreham Pubs

    Hi all, Off few a few beers in Shoreham next week and would welcome any suggestions. Going by train so reckon to start in Buckingham Arms and go from there, ideally via Duke of Wellington but appreciate it's heading away from the main group of pubs. Any reccommendations (and where to avoid)...

    Eurovision 2017 - The Sweepstake

    initially posted a top 10 for us was possible but there were a lot of other acts which could have won it (Moldova, Bulgaria, Italy, Sweden), good result for us and what we deserved. The odds on Portugal were slashed after the semi final and there was a lot of talk about it on social media, but I...

    Eurovision 2017 - The Sweepstake

    Running order has been decided, if you weren't aware this has been thought to affect the chances of an act, the earlier acts don't fare as well (the earliest slot to win was 10th) with the 17-21 slots being quite fruitful. 1. Israel 2. Poland 3. Belarus 4. Austria 5. Armenia 6. The Netherlands...

    Eurovision 2017 - The Sweepstake

    Ha, I had an image of Putin watching shaking his fist...it's true that some neighbours scored Russia highly (e.g. Azerbaijan and Belarus) but other neighbours gave it some of the the lowest marks it received (Finland, Georgia, Lithuania). As I said it's the first time we've put up a decent act...

    Eurovision 2017 - The Sweepstake

    Given we've been finishing in the bottom 10 for the past five years I think it would be difficult to qualify what effect Brexit had were we to repeat this. Generally speaking a number of factors influence why we finish where we do. Quality of the song, act, singing slot and how we pushed the...

    yep - one who is very happy he'll get to visit the Amex again next year, being local it's far better than having to go to Palace to see them!!

    Eurovision 2017 - The Sweepstake

    Sweden's is very good, I'm an ardent Eurovision fan and will be making the jaunt to the Duke of Yorks again this year - cracking night. I've been checking out the Eurovision channel and it seems they are pushing for Italy to win, catchy and gimmicky so should be there. The Swedish entry is very...

    Which of the current squad do you think might surprise us next season?

    Expect this a lot. Some might venture onto the BHA wiki page to do some research but for the main it'll be basics being utterly wrong.

    50k a week

    When we were in the Prem we had a player on loan from Chelsea. According to rumour he was quite keen to make it known he was on more than any player at the club, perhaps why he didn't play a great deal for us.... But yep - it's crazy. I remember Danny Higginbottom doing a fantastic piece on...

    Joey Barton

    as a Claret I can onyl view it as to what difference it makes to the club. Going into a second season in the Prem without Barton isn't a worry, in fact it's been a shame that we've not tried a bit more creativity in the middle. Defour isn't 100% fit but more a genuine threat. I'm unsure if...

    Some views from other forums

    I checked out the thread and there are some idiot posts, there are also posts on there wishing Brighton well and some condemning the homophobic slurs. Fans aren't one person.

    How will Brighton do in the Premier League

    Very much this, one of the harsh realities in going up from any league is that you go from being a fan who is used to home wins/away draws as a minimum to something very different. It's always tough and the important thing is to not get disheartened when you're scrapping for points. As we've...

    Congratulations from a Charton fan + many others

    I've had a bit of a bad day

    I hope your daughter reads this when she's older so she can see what a great dad she has. What you did and the way you handled it shows strength, dignity and class. I'm sure Graham's family will also appreciate what you did in trying to help.

    Trump Bombs Syria

    If it was cost and the Russians genuinely didn't want the strike they would have stayed put in the airfield. They were doing this continually early on, leaving their military advisers in key Assad points knowing that the US wouldn't dare risk it. Moving their assets away from the airfield was...
