Removing obsolete ways of scouting for the first team, to be replaced with more data and AI, and likely increasing the number of youth scouts and data analysts would be my guess. The club has non-scouting personell working full time with researching the personality, history and circumstances...

Don't think Tony would accept £51m, nor do I think anyone would offer it. I'm in favour of sending him on loan in January though as I don't think he can outcompete any of Welbeck and Joao Pedro this season.

Indeed. The normal situation in a PL club is that one single men's first team player has higher wages than the entire women's squad. This is very likely the case in Brighton as well. The players in the biggest teams in the WSL earn some £60k per year on average and we're probably around £40k on...

"It is what it is". Once the first people connect their brains to neural networks based on AI, they become superhuman, which spells the end of the homo sapiens and the emergence of whatever we'll call the future human. This is obvious. Once a few get these superpowers, everyone is going to want...

Part of becoming a functional adult man is to be able to control your emotions. I know there's a trend right now where everyone is supposed to express their emotions all day all night. Emotional self-control doesn't make you explode, it prevents you from it. Either which way, I seriously doubt...

Bollocks. Its a professional footballer giving two points away in a home game. No one feels more shit, or is more annoyed by his mistake, than Mats Wieffer. Guarantee it. Still too early to judge him with his stop-start Brighon start. Need another couple of months to even predict how it will...

Unfortunately won't be streamed as there's a Premier League game tonight.

Never. f*** smartphones. No other invention has caused as much pain and damage.

Not read any news or watched any football this week, has there been any update on Welbeck? I tried wading through the last couple of pages but feck knows what you're all waffling about.

Did well yesterday. I like the new Wild Igor. The random mid circle stepover against Spurs and yesterday turning away some Newcastle player with some slick movements for no real reason but the good looks of it. I like the flair. Enigmatic. I think the kind of game yesterday suits him well...

Bollocks. He's cheating all the time. But he gets away with it among refs and many neutrals because he's his cheating is sexy. He cheats the way James Bond cheats.

These other people however seem to not be Swedish enough to appreciate destroying a football game and going home with an undeserved 1-0 victory. It appears to be Lars Lagerbäck and Hans Scheike vs Hypno-Disc and Posh Spice all over again. Cultural clashes, to be resolved in some upcoming...

Lessons clearly learned from the Chelsea game just after the last international break, when we used players that clearly had very little energy in the tank. Resting most of the globetrotters was a good call and think we'll go with that again in three days or whenever the next international...

Massive chance for him and/or Julio Enciso now. Either grabbing it or going on loan in January.

All great. Does it beat winning a very tight and exciting game? Not to me.

To me the 1-0 takes it. Spending 90 minutes nervous and excited and then getting away with it just satures me better than a 5-0 walk in the park win, which may be funnier and more entertaining but could never provide the same sense of relief and "we won this war"-sense of emotion that follows...

Well?

Its too popular in South America and Asia to be scrapped. Its also a logical concept - best clubs from different continents facing off - and should have a lot of potential to grow. A lot of the growth potential in football is outside Europe and this is one of the few ways you can have the...

He's quality but nothing makes me happier than the insane work rate.

Spleen or kidney or hip? Either way it looked pretty bad. Busy day for me, saw the game though and happy we won but this overshadowed it quite a bit. Hope he gets well soon, best season of his career so far and very important to us.
