Hertha Berlin's current Nike shirt is lovely and in the same blue and white as the Albion.
Said it before and I will say it again, I would love the Albion to have a version of the Ajax kit with blue where the red is.
Very insightful and articulate. The calmness of it and the underlying acceptance of his own individual situation while discussing the brokenness of the wider picture was very moving.
Tragically, the people most likely to read this and take on its message are unlikely to be decision-making...
Andrea Orlandi aside, Agustien has the potential to be perhaps our most creative player.
Considering we have struggled to score goals, I think leaving a player like him out of the match day squad is a luxury I don't fully understand.
Steve Sidwell. Remember him being a cut above during his loan spell. Didn't he score two injury time goals to rescue a draw from nowhere as well one game?
The big loser in FFP is going to be fans who regularly attend football matches and have to pay increased ticket prices because many clubs won't suddenly lower their ambitions or halve their wage offers. They will just pass the cost on.
In an ideal world the clubs would take FFP on board and...
One of the best things about football in this country, for me, is the way clubs can move from the bottom division to the top flight. Under FFP this simply won't happen as much, if at all.
Of course, if wages were actually capped at a more affordable rate so the difference between what top clubs...
The one problem I have with FFP - well, the MAIN problem, there are a few - is that once it at settles down and is being adhered to, it will basically sort clubs out by their potential fan base size.
Follow a small club? You won't ever progress higher than the lower end of Championship unless...
If you look at population v the attendance figure quoted above (less, say, 1,000 for the away fans) it still works out at about one in every four or five locals going to home matches.
Population of Brighton and Hove (not to mention the rest of Sussex) divided by a rough average non away fans...
Read somewhere that Government funding to Brighton and Hove City Council will have been cut by 21.4 per cent since 2010 by next year.
Yet people blame the local Green party....
Funding from central government to local councils had dipped significantly and is predicted to continue to do so.
Therefore I have every sympathy with councils who take the decision to increase Council Tax to protect services.
More than happy to pay the extra Council Tax proposed by the Greens...
Am in a similar situation. Loved our approach under Poyet - albeit felt we could have been a touch more adventurous at times - but not anti-Oscar by any means. Our league position is encouraging so difficult to complain too much. But, while I am pleased with WHERE we are in the league, I am not...
