Your team will have to work a lot harder this coming season. You won't have the ball half as much as you did in the Championship. The players you're chasing will be faster and fitter. With that exertion will come more injuries. It's paradoxical; you need a settled, consistent 11, but players...

I think when you play teams is important, but each club's ambitions would be better helped by different permutations. I want a nigh impossible game to start with like Chelsea away, give the lads a shock and then on to some tricky fixtures where we could get some points like West Brom at home...

Manchester United aren't even a proper "United". They've two clubs in their city, how's that "United"? If saying "Manchester" first is too much of an effort, just call them "Man U" as we did throughout the 90s and 00s.

If you pay tax and NI, if you can go to jail, if you can serve in the military you should vote. I would argue that the young have more invested in the future than the elderly. They're also less likely to have entrenched views based on outdated misperceptions. Fwiw I think voting should be a...

Tedious supercilious demagogue whose aim isn't to get to a truth, but to promote his "brand".

Corz ve do me owld mahcka, no bovva, innit. ;)

"Like" wasn't included to baffle, nor was it included randomly. It's part of my speech pattern and I choose an informal tone online as the more formal style can seem dry. But sure, I will absolutely change the way I type out my thoughts for you, Mr anonymous Brighton fan on the internet...

Cool cool cool, but that's kind of the point I was making. You're celebrating the stuff that's important to you and your club, and no ornery Man Utd supporting child on twitter should (or could) lessen the celebrations. My point was simply that the reason we didn't celebrate is because it's not...

What did I say that's incorrect like? Or are we only look at the surface? If the latter is the case then could you do me favour and put a note round to the rest of the league to stop whining on about our resources, our manager and the rest? I mean we won the league, so our £55m summer spend...

I think "expected" can seem pejorative, like we thought we'd walk it. We didn't. We were confident of getting straight back up, but expecting promotion makes us sound deluded. Championship is a tough league (as our North East neighbours are going to discover) and to finish in the Automatic spots...

I think you've unrealistic expectations there, expectations that will be confounded further next season. Liverpool fans aren't going to pop onto Wikipedia before chanting "You've never won **** all", West Brom fans aren't going to bother learning your history before mocking you on twitter after...

Lovely broad strokes there mate. I mean, it's utter nonsense, but kudos on it regardless. You know why we didn't celebrate promotion? Because it looked odds on for the majority of the season, it was in the hands of an excellent manager, and we never should have been down in the 2nd tier anyway...

Yeah, meant £12million a season not game.

That's £12 million a game. Have I been wooshed?

To give you an idea of match day revenue in the top flight.

Cheers, there's all kinds of predictions about us at the minute; Rafa will go Rafa will stay until the end of the window then leave Rafa will stay for ten years We're going to spend nowt We're going to spend £150m We're going to come straight back down We're going to get top half It's...

Gutting way to lose the title for your boys, but Brighton were excellent all season and you should be proud of your lads. Some cracking performances from your team and we were neck and neck all season. Didn't manage to get tickets in the end and had to watch it in Nine Bar under the stadium...

Agree with that on the whole, but what about an American/Indian/Korean fan who, at a young age, chose a "soccer" team shown on the tv. It happened to be Man Utd, then he follows them the rest of his life. Unfortunately because of the distance and the prohibitive costs he rarely getting a chance...

You're a Spurs fan aren't you? It's in your blood.

Away fans are the lads worth talking to, to be honest. Far too many tourists and day-trippers at the home games. Was guilty of this myself when I was working in London, I'd go to Fulham, or, when cheap/free tickets came my way, Spurs and Chelsea. I couldn't get to as many Newcastle games as I'd...
