Northern voters swung the Leave vote to punish Cameron's Tories and the southern elite and demonstrate they won't toe the line. Now northern voters have punished the Labour party for being too southern elitist and for daring to suggest we might want to have another think about Brexit. Right, so...
I agree that the manifesto policies were not new or original and have been proven to work in other high-functioning countries, but those countries took decades to arrive at where they are now. Labour producing such a long wish list and seemingly every other day chucking in other new ideas just...
Now that we're playing them often some of the heat has gone out of it for me (I saw my first encounter in 1976). Don't get me wrong I loved beating them twice last season, who wouldn't? But frankly these days I get my kicks seeing us take down the big boys like Spurs and Arsenal more than...
But I don't think it is fine that the atmosphere only gets going when we are doing well; the team needs better vocal backing when they are on the ropes. The Police Box crew give it a good go, but stuck out there on the right of the NS their songs don't spread. A singing section in the middle...
Yes fair play to you for trying, but it’s only really the standard ones that are likely to spread. The clever ditties are inaudible beyond your immediate vicinity when only 50 people join in. In the Goldstone days everyone knew that we would belt out “SEAGULLS” at every set piece, and we need...
The NS is supposed to lead but let’s be honest they are pretty useless; half the seats are still empty for Sussex by the Sea, and I just get the impression that they just can’t be arsed...
That's a bit of a schlep to the Emirates; it must be 2 miles from mid Green Lanes. Has it improved down there? I lived off Green Lanes for several years until returning to Brighton in 1994 and although The Salisbury was an amazing Victorian building it and it's clientele were very run down. I...
Waiting for a pal I watched what was happening around their stall for 2 train load of arrivals; I would say it was 90% completely ignored them and 10% took the p1ss or swore at them. I didn't see anyone go up and congratulate their brothers in arms. They did get upset though when a bloke who...
The only person I ever had on ignore was "Alfred Mizen" once of this parish. That bloke epitomised the worst of social media, dropping little bombs of vindictiveness on every thread he visited.
Forget political boundaries, the accents in southern Ireland are easier on the ear than the harsher noises made by people in the northern part of Ireland whether in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland...
Strange indeed, but probably important for kids to be taught about religion in order to understand why the world is the way it is. Of course I'm not advocating indoctrinating them, just informing them what it's all about.
As we are in our eighth year at The AMEX and season tickets have been sold out for most of those it's odd that you talk about us being better off when "flakey middle class Liverpool and Spurs fans with popcorn bugger off". A lot of people have migrated from around the UK to Brighton in the last...
Or you could just choose to accept that a lot of season ticket holders, say 1,500 yesterday, didn't show up due to the appalling weather or other commitments. What's the big deal?
