Totally, agree. I guess my point is, any club of any size (outside the mega-clubs and Spurs) can have that one bad season and go down. As I've heard said a few times: "Every week there's a new club in crisis, you just have to make sure it's not you when it matters". In all honesty, I struggle...

Not making any particular point, but I thought that it's interesting that of his 35 apps for Brighton, he's started 15 times and for Paraguay he started 14 of his 19 apps. I suspect it's because of multiple factors (including injury, competition for places etc), but mentally I can understand a...

It's arrogance to suggest that the bubble can't burst for a club of our size, just as it's ignorance to suggest that it definitely will.

I agree. This is one of those rare occasions where International games have done us a favour. He got the game time he missed vs Crawley with RoI and came through fine, so win-win. To add to some of the other points, people have to remember that, other than the first few matches, he almost never...

Although I'm aware that this thread has devolved into conspiracy thread, on this point, I wonder if he'll do that weird thing where he stalks behind her the whole time like he did with Hillary Clinton?

The way he was almost begging Hurzeler to agree with him on the second yellow card was genuinely pathetic. We've all said it repeatedly, yes, it's frustrating to be sent off for it but any top player worth their salt doesn't commit a trivial yellow card offence whilst already on a yellow. I...

This always reminds me of the time John Cleese was complaining that the BBC were silencing people of his generation in an interview on the BBC that was later re-played on the radio

No idea, just plucked a number out of the air to be honest. Suffice to say I don't expect it to be a pay cut going there

Likely total nonsense of a story, however, if (and it's a massive "if") there's any truth in it... The chance to earn 3x your salary for the last 3-4 years of your career? Tough for any player to turn down. Every time someone is linked to Chelsea, people on here say the usual "why would he go...

"Alexa, give me an example of the phrase "You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain" "Elon Musk"

It's a no from me. Mainly because I actually like the concept of offside. I just dislike it's application. If we end up with AI-assisted offsides and introduce the daylight rule again, then that works better for me, but others may hate that. Whatever happens, change it, scrap it, leave it as...

I've put "worse" because I think it has been on a bit of a decline recently, but I do see improvements coming. As others have said, the rebuilding of the Uni buildings in Lewes Road and London Road has been a real facelift for those coming into Brighton, IKEA will be a huge boon to the city...

I took that to mean that it happened in the close season rather than mid-season like the Potter recruitment process. We had the end of the season and the Euros to recruit Hurzeler, whereas RDZ had to be in super-sharpish because he had a game with Liverpool within a couple of weeks.

The third book in the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo series... I read ~1,200 pages over 2.5 books but the 3rd was so, SO dull that I just couldn't face finishing it

Just on this one, you could say this about any profession. I know plenty of doctors, nurses and social workers who terrify me, but I know others that were genuinely amazing. I think public sector jobs like teaching and the NHS generally have people who start on that career as a vocation, but...

I had this conversation with an Arsenal fan yesterday. You cannot have consistency AND common sense. If you apply common sense, the laws will be applied inconsistently, and I'd you consistently follow the laws, you cannot apply common sense.

Totally agree, but look where Veltman throws the ball. It's literally right there. Arsenal are coached to make snidey little nudges of the ball to slow down play to within an inch of their lives. I'm absolutely certain that he threw the ball there knowing full well that Arteta's micro...

Yep, totally average at free kicks. He "only" scored SIXTY-FIVE

Let's be honest, Veltman had absolutely no intention of "taking a quick free kick". Can we stop pretending that he was? He totally engineered that situation and Rice's second yellow was bought and paid for by Veltman. Which is why I absolutely ADORE him.

I actually think the question should extend to "who should be our LCB against Arsenal?". It's no surprise that we're pushing for Boscagli as our left side of defence does seem to be the weaker half.
