    [Sussex] Name a famous Sussex person.

    Smith is from Crawley - and a QPR fan. He was probably born in Redhill (East Surrey hospital)?

    [Other Sport] Birmingham City Football Club

    Unless Fulham thought they had a player like Evan Ferguson who was guaranteed to hold his own in the Premier League, there was no way they were turning down £10-11 million quid with 4 unremarkable Premier League appearances to his name. I doubt even the big clubs in the Championship would have...

    [News] Huw Edwards

    Admittedly I haven't done that, so maybe two tier is the wrong thing to say. But there does seem to be a disconnect between proportionality of sentences across different crimes. However, I still maintain there is a huge two tier issue in British justice. We all saw how Nonce Andrew was...

    I don't think I need to be "helped" thanks. I pointed out the two tier nature of justice and gave an example. Had he genuinely "incited murder", he'd have got more than 3 years, so I don't really accept your explanation. But let's say he did invite murder - if that is the case then Huw Edwards...

    This. Absolutely ridiculous state of affairs. Retweet something nasty - 2 years inside Pay to watch children being raped - nothing, and keep your £200k paid whilst suspended pending investigation. Disgraceful.

    [Politics] Trump under fire.

    Millions of Americans own millions of guns. I don't know why they bother. They seem to keep missing their fat, moronic presidential candidate and they don't ever win any shooting medals at the Olympics. The only reason I am convinced the average American even knows how to use a gun is that...

    [Albion] Crawley

    The reason I put Winchester and Southampton in the same sentence is that Winchester is very clearly inside Southampton's catchment area - that's all. And you appear to be confusing Southampton with Eastleigh. I mean yes there are shit bits of Southampton (Lordshill, Millbrook etc) but there...

    [Albion] Crawley

    Well I don't mind them as I lived in Winchester for some time. One of my brothers supports them, the best man at my wedding supports them, and my cousin's husband was even the bloke dressed up as their mascot 20 years ago! The city itself is a bit dull I suppose, but hardly "intolerable" IMO.

    They are absolutely shit and have 3 points from 5 games. It's all very very pleasing.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Ipswich Town *** Official Match Thread ***

    I changed my mind in the score competition when I saw everyone was going for 3-1 including me. I saw 1-0 had about 8 votes so I plumped for that instead. Glad I did. No chance we're scoring 3 goals today. I'd very much take 1-0 now.

    That was an insane second half. Hawthorn captain threw it away by hitting the post after taking a mark in comfortable scoring range with a minute to play.

    [Albion] Would you take four points from the next two games?

    Back in the Ipswich and Forest glory days of the late 70s and early 80s, would either have accepted a point at home to us? Of course not. Well these days it is us who are the provincial side doing well, and as such I think we're more than capable of 6 points here.

    [Football] Lee Carsley - The National Anthem.

    Always amusing to see the Dutch line up against the Spanish, with the Dutch declaring loyalty to the King Of Spain while the Spanish stand there in silence. There must be Dutch people who object to their anthem too.

    [Football] Lee Carsley - The National Anthem.

    That doesn't follow at all. Anyway I agree with the OP. I wouldn't sing our crap NA either.

    [Albion] Have we, at some point in our seasons in the EFL/EPL, occupied every position between 1-92?

    It really isn't. I didn't save it. But let's pretend it's 56th loosely based on a visual of distribution.

    [Other Sport] Queens Tennis - Draper vs Alcaraz

    Henman wasn't a choker - he just wasn't the very, very best. He reached 8 grand slam semis including 4 at Wimbeldon, which is exceptional. He only really choked once, in that he had only one very winnable semi match at Wimbledon. In 1998 and 1999 lost to world #1, Pete Sampras. In 2002 he...

    I thought it would be interesting to see how many different FINAL league placings we've been in according to this site. I put it into Excel and here are the placings we've had: League Position No. Of Seasons 6 1 9 1 11 1 13 1 15 2 16 2 17 1 19 1 22 2 23 1 24 2 26 3...

    [News] Ofwat to basically deregulate water companies….

    And they'll answer "nothing" and you'll have to suck it up as you have no choice where to get your water. The fact that the only way to ensure water companies get what they richly deserve will have the affect of tanking pension funds of innocent people means they get away with it scott-free...
