Remember last season, when every day brought a press story about how we would have to beware becoming the new Southampton, selling the family silver and falling down and out of the division. We all scoffed. "We're too well run" we all said. And then if you take away the first 7-8 fixtures of...

Well then let's not be fair. They're paid professionals who've been on the beach for at least a third of a season?

And the very next day… The Mail on Sunday comes along to underscore my point. Take an event and then simply recast it, disregarding the facts, to suit a (poisonous) narrative. The Guardian does not do this.

Yes. The Guardian has a political leaning in its editorial pages and it is firmly to the left. But… I challenge you to pick up an issue on Monday morning and find anything in the news pages that isn’t based on fact. Seriously. You’ll struggle. You can dismiss it in your own head all you...

No on both counts but it was obvious I'd done the run because I was walking like I'd just sharted...

Not a fan of the pooch in the pub, if I'm honest. Post Brighton Marathon, my running buddies and I ducked into The Southern Belle for some swift rehydration before the walk back to the AirBNB. The visit was well and truly bumfuzzled by a six footer of a hound. Into everybody's face, bags...

Right now, I’ll settle for scoring at all. I’m looking forward to seeing how the club’s social media handles Goal of the Month, when all we have to offer is that one against Burnley. You have to laugh or else you’d cry :lol:

I shall have one final nibble before seeking to draw a line under this little exchange and moving forward in unity. First… the nibble. 6 points from the final 13 matches would equal 0.46 PPG or 17.5 over a season. Let’s be generous and round it up to 18. It would still be… really very, very...

The reason why Tony might consider removing RDZ was contained in the section of my post that, for whatever reason, you chose to delete: a strictly hypothetical possible return of 6 from 39 points in the final third of the season. I don't disagree with your remarks. I don't want to see RDZ...

I'm not convinced. I keep thinking back to Hughton's removal. Literally the day after the end of the season when we had med the required target by a hair's breadth. Tony will have a target in his head and I imagine it will have been recalibrated along the way allowing for injuries and the...

Current form table over the last ten matches. Ouch! I knew it was poor but not that poor. Injuries notwithstanding, I think we’re allowed to expect slightly better. Critical summer coming up. I have no idea what the best way forward is.

There is no way Bloom would sack RDZ before the end of the season and when we are in no danger of relegation. However… I would not be astounded if he were given his marching orders the day after the end of the season. If we limp to the end of the season with only another point or two going...

The Palace Situation. Hilarious in February but we don’t look nearly so smart now.

Was busy all day yesterday so this point has probably already been made several times but… I’m getting really bored of United undeservedly reaching the final on penalties. :angry:

Think he mentioned it in one of his episodes. Somebody in Mauritania gave him a Man United shirt and he said something along the lines of “I’m Brighton”. He also ran in the Worthing kit.

Running. The silver bullet that changed my life. It took me out of a mid-life crisis and gave me a renewed sense of self-esteem. And photographing my wife running led to a hobby becoming a decent side hustle. I shall be photographing the London Marathon as part of the official crew for the...

My vote will be tactical, with the LibDems being the best route to unseating my bee killing, forest selling, gay bashing, hard Brexiting wazzock of a Tory. For this reason, I’ve voted LibDem in this poll. I’m a Green Party member and would vote that way under a different electoral system. But...

Not kidding at all. The Nigels defended like their lives depended on it. Compare that to the clown car that rocked up at our place.

Who knows? We’re all different complex cocktails of emotions making up the stuff of life. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. No need to feel bad about it. You’ve just found other outlets for your jollies. I’m 51. Never been able to get a ST because of work and geography. Hoping I stay...

Just seen the Palace goal on MOTD2. Annoyingly superb in its simplicity. The sort of goal we scored last season. Glasner’s been in charge about the same length of time it took RDZ to get things moving. Have to hope the vultures do some shopping in the summer because the buggers are getting...
