Bit OTT. That's like saying you wouldn't visit anywhere in Eastern Europe because of Putin.

Given the choice I'd choose to hang out in Portsmouth.

He's not Jewish. Although he is Muslim, so not sure what my point is. Carry on!

Sounds like Rice is trying to avoid playing any competitive international football at the moment full stop. Reading between the lines (mostly based on rumours I accept) it seems like he doesn't want to be tied to Ireland in case he becomes an absolute superstar and could play for England, but...

Personally I wouldn't be able to afford/get the time off to do the away trips, so I would probably find it really frustrating. However, I find it mad that any Brighton fan would not want us to get there in principle. I am confident the novelty of trips to the likes of Old Trafford and Anfield...

It was a closed question though, asking the public to choose between 2 very similar systems. I am a huge supporter of introducing PR, however I nearly voted "no" in that referendum, as I didn't want the only change in my lifetime to be one that made minimal impact.

That's because it really isn't. It's majoritarian system with a slight tweak from FPTP to help alleviate tactical voting (although not that effectively).

I'm not sure it's that inexplicable. Spurs are way better and more dangerous than United. I seem to be in the minority but, dull as it is, I can totally get behind the cautious approach against the top sides. Our two most cavalier performances against the so-called top-6 sides last year...

This. If you have a nose at other clubs there are often t-shirts based on current chants that are popular, players, specific historical references etc. Our have weird shit like a bottle top for no apparent reason with BHAFC on it. The last decent one they produced was the all-time XI voted for...

You can get to Wolverhampton/Birmingham from Aberystwyth in about 2hrs, likewise Chester/Liverpool, although those are best case scenario timings. Not my idea of a fun commute but I'm sure there's plenty on here that do more each day.

To be honest, if (as looks likely) he turns out to be a dud, wasting £16 million on him now that we are a Premier League club really isn't any different from the £1 million + we wasted on Ryan Harley or Kemy Augustien in the Championship, or even the £300k or whatever we spunked on Liam...

Anyone spot the one in Duke Street yesterday? We were trying to tick off the central ones with my little one (3 and a half and really excited by them) and it didn't seem to be there.

A mate of mine (who is an Albion STH but as far as I am aware doesn't post on here) "popped" home to watch the Aussie Rules grand final in Melbourne last year. As in was picked up from the airport, straight to the game, and then more or less back to the airport and back to the UK that evening.

I got a new car 3 years ago and managed to get a new Sussex by the Sea one from the Amex shop, although it wasn't as big or as nice as the old one. I am aware 3 years is a long time though.

In the Europa League playoffs? They absolutely did, at least in the second leg against Olympiakos on TV. Not sure what the point you're making about Sunderland and Newcastle is - of course a big club CAN do badly if they're badly run. Just like a small side can do well if they're well run. But...

However he did switch up the full backs a few times last year. Maybe bizarre was a strong word but I would have thought that, on paper, Bernardo was bought as an upgrade on Bong. I wasn't at Watford but apparently he looked solid until he had to switch sides. However Bong is playing very well...

Bizarre as it seems at left back Hughton is going with a "keep the shirt" mentality, and yet at CB the complete opposite.

This is the issue for me. Basically clubs around Europe (and beyond) now recruit based on ability and cost, and (subject to work permits and some local rules on HGP's etc) don't really care about nationality. Because the English Premier League pays the top dollar, the best tend to filter up to...

There are a few sides who have certainly taken the brunt of giving up home advantage but you do highlight a huge difference. If you follow the game, there are superstars in every NFL team (although obviously some more than others), and it is rare for teams to have long periods of time without...

I presume you mean in this year's Premier League? I think Burnley might get a lot of votes, but for me Eddie Howe would always be at the front of such a queue.
