I am sure I read somewhere recently that because the GB basketball team had had its funding removed the coach could now not afford to pick the two NBA players because their insurance would be too expensive for what little money they had left.
The cup is more important to me because, well, I am not that bothered about getting to the Premier League. In fact, I would probably rather reach the cup final than get promoted even if we went on to lose. The euphoria of winning an FA Cup Semi Final would be difficult to match.
Am pretty sure...
So the players picked and motivated themselves to see us finish fourth in the league?
I am not saying I will sing his name or anything like that IF we ever play a team managed by him. Just without knowing the facts and, let's be honest, nobody on here knows ALL the facts, I find it difficult to...
Only he didn't. Towards the end of the season - after he had asked to leave before the Palace league game (which we won) - we went on/continued possibly our best run of form of the season. We just got unlucky in the play offs against Palace.
I will give him a clap as he walks across the pitch at the start.
He was in charge of the best Brighton team I have ever seen playing the best football of any Albion team I have ever seen and finishing higher in the league than any Albion team I have ever seen.
And, well, I don't know enough...
Strikers are largely about confidence. He has just scored two match-winning goals in two games. Would have thought it made more sense to play him and try and keep that run going.
Never saw Lawrenson. Would put Upson at the top of the list of centre backs I have seen play for the Albion.
Simon Morgan, Dean Blackwell, Paul McShane and Ivar Ingimarsson were all pretty decent in the Withdean years. Before that I guess you have to look at the likes of Steve Foster.
He doesn't only represent the top paid players though does he? The union looks after young players, players in the lower leagues etc.
But that said, he does seem to get paid an awful lot.
Mackail-Smith should be back relatively soon.
No idea on Hoskins. Though as he has returned to training I would expect him to be available before the end of the season certainly.
