Back in the Poyet days it was easyjet from Gatwick for the games up north. Once had a very entertaining time waiting for our flight to Spain in a north terminal departure lounge full of Brighton players in club tracksuits waiting to board their flight to Manchester (we were away to Blackpool the...

And the interesting comment frm the Sky commentator at the start of the game - 'De Gea is one of only two players on the pitch who have won the premier league with Manu U - the other one is Danny Welbeck'. Man U no longer have a team packed with serial winners so #TeamsLikeBrighton have no need...

Maybe it's just me, but for a club the size of Everton, with their history, invading the pitch to celebrate avoiding relegation seems decidedly tinpot

But isn't it the lino's job to tell the ref if the keeper has come off his line early?

But the pitch invasion was direct action at the club. What these Stop Oil protestors are doing is the equivalent of protesting about Brighton's ownership by invading the pitch at St Albans versus Carshalton Athletic. It's the right protest in the wrong place. instead they should try gluing...

Having been in the ground for that if I never see it again it will be too soon, it was a very hard watch. I'd rather look forward than back to that

Well lucky you! Getting to the ground from the West has got harder since Mithras House P&R closed. Also we have to be lucky that there are no train problems on both Coastway Easy AND West - you're just going the one stop. You might as well say it was easy getting to the ground from central...

Same here. I didn't celebrate the goal as I actually thought Gross was quite a way off when the ball was passed to him but that picture makes it look much closer. Whatever happened to giving the attacker the benefit of the doubt on offside decisions - didn't that used to be the case?

You might just as well title this thread 'The waning appeal of going to the Amex' as that's probably a major contributor to the deteriorating atmosphere. Think back to when we first had the stadium and in the heady days of being competitive in the Championship and then playing in the prem...

Exactly - the turkeys voted for Christmas and got it

I’m certainly not generalising every Russian as innocent but you certainly seem to think that being Russian automatically means wanting to brutalise anyone in your way. I agree that without the Germans there wouldn’t have been Nazis, the main difference being that Hitler had far more popular...

So the actions of the Red Army in the 1940's - btw in the immediate aftermath of the Germans doing the same and worse to the Russians they invaded - frame what you think is happening in the Russian army today? The world - including Russia - has moved on from the 1940s. I would agree that our...

From your response to my earlier post I guess I'm one of the 'tiny few' who you think are defending Russian actions - I'm not. What I am doing is pointing out that there are a significant number of young Russians who have been duped into a fight by their own leaders and don't want to be there...

I was at 3rd Shoreham from mid 70s to about 1980. Bob a job week was common then. Living on Shoreham Beach at the time there were plenty of large lawns that could get mown and cars washed. The wooden hut was all I ever knew until one day back from uni I saw the phoenix that was the new building...

Unlike you I don't. My view on this - and I accept that this is not necessarily going to be a popular one - is that a lot of the Russian soldiers/sailors are also victims of Putin and his desire to recreate the old Soviet Union. Most of the Russians fighting are not seasoned professional...

This works for me for plain basmati (not the brown stuff) and doesn't result in a gooey, starchy mess: 1. Don't prewash the rice 2. Get a pan of water boiling 3. Put the rice in and while it's coming back to the boil stir it gently for a few seconds only with a slotted spoon to make sure the...

Some years ago I want to an AEL Limassol game when on holiday in Cyprus. Only a small crowd compared to the Amex but they certainly made some noise and chucked a lot of flares/smoke bombs. I don't recall anyone having first aid or screaming for a policeman. These are also very different to the...

Altetico are awful to watch. It's not just the defensive football, it's the non-stop time-wasting, theatrics every time a player is tackled and the constant waving of imaginary cards. It's not football it's anti-football and I hope City give them a pasting in the second leg

The comparison in that article made to Allardyce at Bolton and Hodgson at Fulham are blatantly unfair. At the time each had money of some sort thrown at the squad, especially in the attacking department. Potter has had relatively little to work with. The reason we were doing so well earlier on...

My 82 year old step mum doesn't have a problem with this sort of technology. When not using her smartphone to go to the football she is often using dodgy streams to watch away games. She does however have a problem with younger people stereotyping her generation as being techno idiots...
