    [Misc] Owen Patterson M.P.

    Thinking of setting up a GoFundMe so I can get access to my local whinger Bottomley. He's too busy whining about his pay to answer any questions on local issues but it seems that offering cash seems to do the trick.

    [Politics] Assisted Dying

    Just interested to know if you are saying there is never a justification for taking another life? For example, taking one life to prevent one or more others being taken (e.g. police shooting a terrorist, a war such as WW2). If you would accept that "thou shalt not kill" is not black and white...

    [Albion] Neal Maupay's post-match red card

    Maupay was fouled on more than one occasion and got nothing. I get that football is a emotive game and you don't just switch off at the end. I get the ref was useless. I get that he was frustrated and venting. But I'd be far more minded to forgive the bloke if he'd been showing the same...

    [Albion] Conclusions from the ESL fiasco .......

    Excellent point. I doubt very many people below board level at any PL club don't experience the connection between the club and the community. The clubs are global brands and even at Brighton we have seen the interest from abroad with some of our players. It's unrealistic to expect clubs...

    [Albion] Conclusions from the ESL fiasco .......

    At the moment I would 100% say he would not and I was encouraged by the candour of the club statement. I think what's difficult to gauge is how any chairman may be if in the position of being in a club like Liverpool, Man U, Man City. If Brighton were a powerhouse like them, used to success at...

    [Albion] Conclusions from the ESL fiasco .......

    Agreed. I have made similar points on the big ESL thread. I really hope this debacle allows some change as per Atilla's OP but my head says that we shall just revert to the status quo and what's worse is that I doubt that any owner of the any of PL clubs would have done differently to the top...

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    I don't think it beggars belief. Fans of teams in at least the top two tiers of English football have been sucking up the rampant commercialisation of the game for decades. They, we, me have shown time and time how easily we can be bought, how we might moan and grumble about the cost of s Sky...

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    Welcome news that the ESL is dead but this idea is the culmination of years of the shift in football from the working class game to a commercial enterprise focused on corporate relationships. The irony of the Premier League complaining about money grabbing should not be lost on anyone. Us fans...

    Just popping by to say hi. Looks like people are staying pretty motivated. I did the Centurion virtual 100 miles in a week event in November which was a proper challenge. I decided to raise some cash for the RNLI and so ran from my local station in Littlehampton to Shoreham in the middle of...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers *** Official Match Thread ***

    Agreed you can't predict the own goal but Burn was torrid against Leicester when pitted against a pacey right winger. The writing was on the wall in that respect.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield United *** Official Match Thread ***

    Agreed. It's just the desperation of what has been so promising for weeks now. I so want Potter to succeed but the table does not lie and I think the cracks in the squad are showing which is not an encouraging sign.

    [Football] Millwall fans covering themselves in glory again

    I would hazard an uneducated guess that there is a correlation between the people who boo taking the knee and those who get all het up about black people being shown celebrating Christmas on a TV advert. They don't actually know that much about the real issues, they just know it's "PC gone mad"...

    [Albion] Was TB right to sack Chris Hughton?

    Yes. Of course it was harsh and shocking but frankly I would rather it be the way it was than have seen a downward spiral through the autumn to Christmas and crowds baying for his head on a platter. We shall never know if CH could have pushed on but all the signs were there that it was not to...

    “Be careful what you wish for Brighton fans” - How the football world owes us an apology

    100% agree on the JB position - whatever way you look at it the CH sacking was harsh. However both TB and CH were in a no win situation. CH did get us to the PL, kept us up last season and got us to an FA cup semi but there was no doubt that the football had lost it's way. How many people here...

    Just checking in on the running thread and looks like everyone has been very active. I managed my first marathon distance just before my birthday in May - essentially the Arun River Marathon up to Rackham Hill and back - and I have run at least 5K every day through June so far, in fact 10K...
