It's a confidence thing and/or a fear of not making a good chance count when there aren't many chances around. But the fact that three different Albion players have planted the ball in the back of the net from outside the penalty area in the last couple of games should show JR that taking a...

The problem is that, although Reading were clearly better than us yesterday, they weren't (on first half evidence, anyway) four goals better. And with the Albion's customary last-day-of-the-season brinkmanship, a combination of MM not substituting him when he was clearly off the pace, a twitchy...

Fair report in the Sunday Times, including "Kitson gleefully blasted the ball home, but the gamesmanship surrounding the incident took the shine off his subsequent hat-trick".

I actually went to Stamford Bridge last night and, yes, it was a very mediocre match. I was taken by some Russians to their extremely luxurious box, equipped with two long dining tables and masses of food and drink. The first thing they did on arrival was close the shutters so they couldn't...

By the following year, the rather unexciting Mr Goodwin hd made them wear white. Alan Duffy had arrived and some of the other guys had adopted his rather wild hair style. I saw them play at Carabanchel, a Madrid suburb mainly known for its political prison, where the team mainly comprised very...

If you'd like to PM me, I can probably help. I go out there to work three or four times a year and have just shaken off a filthy cold I acquired while wandering through the flood waters at 4am in Havana during Hurricane Wilma a couple of weeks ago!

I think I asked Insider that question last year and got the reply that, once the new company is set up to develop the stadium, past planning expenses drop into the "development costs" pot and will be returned to the club as and when finance is available. So, there'll be an interesting balancing...

Great article by Amy Lawrence in Guardian Unlimited which you can find on brightonfans.com. It's a very good read...

That's St Maarten OK. It's usually fine, except when there are hurricanes around...I go there a couple of times a year to get to a job on St Barths, the next door island. Now THAT'S a hairy landing!

Thanks - but I've spent many years not being fair to Kent and can't think of any good reason to change now... They just didn't want us to win.

The useless bunch of dimwits have just handed the championship to Nottinghamshire.

No chance of him signing imho. Ever heard of a fish wanting to join the Seagulls? (Blimey - just read through all 450 fish jokes and can't believe no one's made this one...)

Don't really understand what happened in Kemptown but, nationally, Hugh Robertson (the shadow sports minister) met Martin Perry at Withdean about six months ago and came away very supportive of Falmer. And, as one of the most genuine and least cynical politicians I know, I think that support...

Afters - I know Real Madrid has just thrashed the pants of Barcelona CdeF, but I hadn't heard they'd claimed the Ramblas as a prize. Not a bad idea, though...

I shouldn't worry too much about B&B. Unless you're staying in a 4/5 star place, Spanish hotel breakfasts are not really for eating... Go for the typical Sp breakfast in a local cafe - coffee, churos and a glass of brandy. It's much better for you. Don't know your girlfriend's view on the...

Hear hear! And the other cheering news of the weekend is that Bill Archer has dropped 110 places and £73 million in this year's Sunday Times Rich list. He's down to his last £150m, poor lamb.

Yes - working miracles is a fair description. If we'd managed to keep at our post-Sunderland league position, it would have been a mega-miracle. It wasn't a great game today, but we really shouldn't expect to beat grown-up teams like Coventry. They had 33 players listed in today's programme...

Sparkie is right - see Insider's answer to my question "Falmer - Planning Costs" in the Ask the Club section. So all we need is the planning permission: Square One - here we come (again!)

Two thoughts - first, the people who should be really pissed off today are Wycombe Wanderers. Second, the real pipe dream is to be playing in the second top division at all. Let's face it, we're only there 'cos of the gross incompetence of Swindon Town and Bristol City. We're lucky enough to...

If 14p a print's OK, just go to www.bonusprint.com, download their free programme, login to the file you've stored the photos, select the ones you want printed, give them a credit/debit card number - and sit back and wait for them to drop through the letterbox in a couple of days. No, I don't...
