It's still the case that Albion are one of only two teams in this division averaging more than two points a game. That is normally enough to ensure promotion.

If you have grandchildren, don't mention it. If you do mention it, you are not permitted to post anything except daft ideas.

There never were any "plans". The introduction of the name was merely a decision by the Ministry of Transport to indicate that the roads in question were now controlled by the government, not the local county council. That remains the case to this day. As an example, De La Warr Road...

The "Folkestone to Honiton Trunk Road" was the name given to what is now called the "South Coast Trunk Road" when the Ministry of Transport (as it then was) took over responsibility for maintaining and repairing a series of local roads that had previously been looked after by the County...

Optimism.

It was a decent payback for the hours that Newcastle spend on the training ground, practising flukey ways to defeat the opposition.

Am I alone in being confused? It's a piece of cod that passeth all understanding.

Oh. And one more thing ... Can we all respect the geordies when they sing their great anthem? I had two grandads. One of them lived on the Scotswood Road. The other lived in Blaydon. Neither of them ever went along the Shoreham Road to see their football team.

... and I can still get on an eastbound train within 30 minutes of the final whistle, even after hanging about to clap the team off and watch David Stockdale give his gloves to a young lad. Despite the fact that, these days, I hobble about with a walking stick.

It does at least bring the benefit of ensuring that at least some of the home fans don't have to see what's happening on the pitch. If I was a Palace fan, I'd appreciate that.

That's exactly what Gus Poyet told a Seagulls Over London meeting about Ranieri when he was at Chelsea. Why won't experienced, senior players support their manager? Or do we blame Ranieri? Poyet undoubtedly put the blame on Ranieri, not his Chelsea colleagues.

I see him regularly in the North Stand.

I recall giving evidence at the final public inquiry into the Falmer Stadium planning application to the effect that a city like Brighton and Hove could realistically expect attendances at home matches to be not very different from what Leicester City might expect. I'm not sure whether the...

Some people seem to imagine that reports in local newspapers tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

The programme was based on the geographical area of the South Downs National Park. This includes a bit of Hampshire called the Western Weald, which was originally intended to be left out of the National Park but, at the last minute, was included, when the government took the decision about the...

To the best of my knowledge, he has no ill-feeling towards the stadium.

If you can believe what his Uncle Ray said when Tony bought the Club, he did it to restore control of the Albion to the Bloom family. Selling the Club to the Chinese (or, indeed, anyone else) would simply negate that original intention. It won't happen.

In the case of South Sudan, it has only been an independent nation for less than six years, having gained its independence from Sudan, the Arab nation to the north in 2011. Sudan left a heritage of civil war that lasted on and off for over twenty years. Establishing peace is a huge challenge...
