Couple of points, if I may? Check your spelling - almost as many of them say 'homophic' as say 'homophobic' - any survey will lack credibility if it's full of spellers. And 'Do you know any gay Brighton fans?' Where the hell is 'don't know' as an answer? I neither know nor care about the sexual...

All opinions, hybrid, old boy. Reynolds and Simmons, both terrific, (I particularly like Reynolds of the two) but not better than Iain M. for me.

Vicente mumbles really badly, I have terrible trouble understanding him, but as far as I can tell: The team was good. We dominated Charlton, we just couldn't score. We had lots of chances but when the ball won't go in, it wont go in. I thought we'd win. Charlton... (something about centre of...

"Good atmosphere"? Blimey. For about 20 minutes maybe.

I'd concur - Consider Phlebas is absolutely magnificent. The Player of Games was another favourite, but absolutely any Culture novel will enthrall. Gutted to hear this news - comfortably the best SF writer out there at the moment, and though I do also like his non-SF stuff, it's not a patch on...

This makes interesting reading. I'm not sure which source they use for the cost of the squad (they really should say) but according to this we have the 11th most expensive squad in the division, representing the 14th-best value for money per goal, 11th-best value for money per win. Conclusion...

'phobia' is a fear of or aversion to something. The suffix '-phobia' as part of a word is the extreme or irrational fear or dislike of something. So the word fits perfectly. (OED definitions).

The likes are pretty consistent, aren't they? Manager who just get on with it, don't berate officials all the time or think they run the game. I like Martinez and Laudrup. Moyes, Chris Powell, Gianfranco Zola and Kenny Jackett too - all common with others. But lower down I'd say Paul Tisdale...

Pol Pot Noodles - every genocidal dictator's favourite snack...

Donny of course. Other than that I'm not too fussed, though Walsall are to be applauded for sticking with their manager when they had a shocking run, and for batting above their spending weight in the first place. You do wonder what may happen to them if they came up, though - this is a bloody...

He won't come back just for sentimental reasons, and Poyet doesn't have the same affection for him that we do, remember. And at the moment, he's the wrong fit - we need a foil for Ulloa; not somebody like Zamora, I'm not sure they'd be able to play together even if he were here.

Yeah, but 11 runs (off just 13 hits!) and Niese contributing offensively to kick off the season - got to enjoy that. You may well be right, but equally I can't see the Mets being as bad as everybody thinks they will. Probably be under 500, but that's par for the course now - they've been sh*t...

There's some phrase we use on here which is, I think, appropriate on occasions like this. What was it? Oh yeah, that was it... Marvellous scenes! :clap2:

Off to see them this afternoon anyway so this is a bonus. Third time this season, probably my last-ever visit to Underhill. Can't see him starting but it'll be good just to see him on a pitch again, warming up etc.

He seems to have made a pretty positive impression all round. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scotland-debutant-liam-bridcutt-great-1787712 Fair play to the bloke - more than just lip service, that - chucking your international debut shirt to the fans.

What's PPF's profound psychological insight into those who have both dogs and kids then, I wonder?

What a cracking-looking dog, Hailsham. She's a beaut. I'd love a dog - a Dalmation or German Shepherd given the choice - but my lifestyle simply won't allow it, it wouldn't be fair to the dog. Will be moving to a pueblo in the Spanish mountains in the future, though, where we've got the space...

Fair enough, but in my opinion the club's manager deciding to turn down an opportunity to leave (if indeed that's what happened) is something substantial to say. It didn't need to be a Proustian account of every movement and utterance over the piece, but a confirmation (or rebuttal) of what...

Me too. For all that I applaud the club's principle of saying nothing on speculation, that complete absence of a single word of comment from them or Gus on what's been a week of intense media speculation and attention is rather grating now. It's a kind of politburo-style refusal to discuss...
