    Football League Awards

    I doubt they give a s**t really - especially after their team of the "decade" tonight which featured Gareth Bale, who had 1 alright season at Southampton in the Championship and is also managed by Eddie Howe......which has puzzled many, many people on Twitter. Sure he has done alright with...

    Congratulations to AFC Bournemouth on securing promotion to the Premier League

    Their squad is probably worse than the one Palace went up with, it will probably be rather funny to watch. Hopefully they dont go up and get screwed when then inevitably fail FFP.

    Train Derailment - Brighton Station

    You mean the nonsense that happens to pretty much most railways ? Mainline services have now resumed but only using a single line past the derailed train, delays to last all evening. Line via Arundel is now also shut, due to a fire.

    the chase football question!

    Funnily enough, only the people I work with who DONT support Premier League teams have an alright knowledge of the Football League, the PL supporting ones dont have a clue - one was shocked to hear that Brighton were in the league below the Premier League !!

    Train Derailment - Brighton Station

    Running between Brighton and Three Bridges/Haywards Heath. Major disruption/service suspension will last the rest of the day, maybe even into tomorrow. Polegate level crossing has also just failed, adding to the total sh*tfest on the railway on the East Coast line.

    Train Derailment - Brighton Station

    Never know, they do happen, as do SPADs. The driver could be in massive trouble if it is !! Trains have also been screwed most of the day between Eastbourne and Hastings due to issues with new signalling equipment at various locations.

    Train Derailment - Brighton Station

    Services on the West and East Coast lines are starting to be restored but with major delays until further notice. For travelling between London and Brighton, going via Lewes will be your best bet. Mainline suspended.

    Train Derailment - Brighton Station

    Currently, though it is expected to reopen soon as it isnt affected. Replacement buses are now available.

    Train Derailment - Brighton Station

    Normally thats around 35 degrees air temperature, metal temperature is always much, much hotter than that. I highly doubt thats the cause though, suspect a points failure. One of the reasons trains get stopped when signalling fails is to potentially stop things like this. Regardless, something...

    Train Derailment - Brighton Station

    Taken from Twitter, not a serious one as it probably happened at low speed, though it is blocking the London-bound line. As West and East Coast lines dont appear to be affected, they will probably be opened as soon as power can be restored. Mainline trains will have disruption for a while though.

    Train Derailment - Brighton Station

    Reportedly an empty train with no passengers on board. Could be caused by anything, points/signalling failure, track defect, object on the line. It will get investigated though, which will mean a lengthy blockage.

    I have the MLS show on in the background this morning

    The game last night was poor, the attendance was about Under 8s level as well !! There are some good teams in the league, Chicago and Philly arent - they are probably the Rotherham and Blackburn of the MLS - never going to win anything and just dont want to be bottom. Writing the league off...

    [Albion] ticket news for middlesbrough last day of season

    £31 to go on our longest trip which comes with a 3AM start to the top of the country for a meaningless game with a stupid KO time (thanks to Sky) which will probably also be televised (thanks to Sky). Think i'll give it a miss.

    Top Gear's Clarkson suspended by BBC

    Disappointing, but you cant assault someone and get away with it. Top Gear on the BBC is dead - simple as that. The best hope they have is to cash in on the brand to another channel which would continue to have Clarkson, May and Hammond fronting it. ITV and Sky could be licking their lips here...

    MLS kicks off Friday

    2-0 NYCFC - Patrick Mullins, who last season was actually drafted by New England, comes on and within 1 minute scores with his first touch. As it stands, last seasons MLS Cup finalists have failed to score in 2 games, after a previous 3-0 defeat to Seattle.

    Twitter quiz

    Maybe not something big then, but for 30 minutes a week, it isnt bad - it also wound up a Palace troll who is actually following the club !!!

    Twitter quiz

    Its something to connect the fans, sure the questions should probably be Albion/Football related though. Still, people won stuff taking part, would be interested to know what.
