Our season's basically over now. We're not gonna get relegated, we're not gonna qualify for Europe, we're out of all the cups (okay, technically we're still in the Europa but come on). That said, I remember when Leyton Orient were our sort-of rivals and Nicky Forster was our star player. And...

Roma's a club I've traditionally had a bit of a soft spot for, and I've been really proud to see how welcoming Brighton (the club and the city) has been to visiting European fans this season. But after this, I hope we do absolutely nothing to make the visit pleasant for them. Keep them in the...

If we were full-strength I'd say we can do better than a one-goal defeat, but I think tonight's all about keeping the second leg winnable. Hopefully Joao Pedro will be back for that game and will continue making the Europa League his plaything. Having said that, I keep thinking "we were...

Does anyone have any solid info on the story from a Danish paper's investigative journos about Romano? Apparently he's been a very naughty boy and the people who suspected he was more than a disinterested journalist were right on the money. But I'm struggling to find info in English - this is...

Stayed away from this site over the weekend because the negativity was really getting me down. I feel like some people are interpreting every comment and every interview and every screenshot in the worst light possible just so they can have the dubious pleasure of saying "I told you so" when...

I think you got too hung up on my Ireland example, which on reflection I shouldn't have included because it's not relevant. The Bangladeshi government have confirmed that she is not a citizen. She has been stripped of her British citizenship because the British courts believe she is eligible for...

She's apparently not a Bangladeshi citizen, she's just eligible for citizenship (in much the same way I could apply for an Irish passport if I wanted to). That's what's so insidious about this - it means anyone with a foreign grandparent now has a diminished, second-class form of British...

1/ A publicly made commitment can't be reneged on as easily as a privately made one, and all parties know this; so a publicly made commitment carries far more weight 2/ The club cannot talk directly with their intended successor if he is currently employed by another club

Without wanting to put a downer on things (I'm gonna put a downer on things), does anyone else think it's weird that we're basically telling everyone that we'll be chucking money about in the summer? That's very un-Bloom imo. But on the other hand, this is from a source that seems well-placed...

I'm sure he'd look world class in no time if RDZ was managing him again. But let's take a step back and think about how this story ended up in the media. Somebody at Chelsea - most likely within their coaching team - went running to them with this quote. A quote that absolutely slates one of...

I mean, it's not technically true that there's "absolutely nothing", though it might be "effectively nothing". An employee on gardening leave is still an employee; passing on privileged information to a competitor would come with the same professional (and possibly criminal?) sanctions that...

FFS. So sick of Chelsea, there's nothing bad that could happen to that club that would make me think "they didn't deserve that"

Sorry if fixtures, but I can't stop laughing at this guy. Who does he think is going to give Palace 80 million quid for Guehi? Don't get me wrong, he's a good player. But they'd have been lucky to get that for him last summer when the transfer market was overvalued, never mind next summer after...

They're wiped after 30 years: https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-51190779 But this varies depending on when you studied. I was in the last cohort of students before tuition fees were introduced, starting my degree in 1997. My brother started his in 1996. I finished paying mine off about 10...

Interesting that he's not going for Paul Winstanley, who was our head of recruitment when Ashworth was with us. I'm not completely sure what that tells us, though.

This is all very impressive but I'm not about to start pretending that Wimbledon and Franchise FC were ever the same club.

Oh come on, Swindon are a decent side but I wouldn't say that Celtic are THAT big a step down. (Yeah, yeah, I know, I couldn't resist)

Apologies if fixtures, I did go back a couple of pages and didn't see it. I really enjoyed this piece from Dutch TV about a group from JPvH's home village taking a trip to Brighton. It has English subtitles.

Absolutely agree with this, but I keep re-watching Enciso's goal against City last season and seeing Colwill's role in it - that's why RDZ likes to have a left-footed player in the LCB position. Hopefully Dunk's got a lot of years left in him, but I'm imagining what a central defensive pairing...

Weird that they're not offering to chip in to pay a bonus to the players after this weekend's game. If they think money should go back in their pocket after a bad result, it should also surely leave their pocket after a good one?
