I'm in favour of an A22 super league. I guess it would include teams like Eastbourne United, Hailsham Town, Uckfield, East Grinstead and Whyteleafe. Absolutely huge marketing potential.

I would have seen you. I was in the front row. You weren’t the guy who gave his name as Arthur Ritis were you?

Just going through this thought experiment in my head. Let's say RDZ is gone at some point in the next 12 months, and GP is available, and applies for the job. What would the board's reaction be? And would it make any difference that fans would be so fiercely divided on the matter? ("Fiercely...

Indeed ... and of course who can forget "the Derby way"?

Gone for 3-1 to Spurs, just because it's a result that wouldn't surprise me, and at least I'd get a rare point on the leaderboard as consolation. But it's "one of those games" that could pretty much go in any direction, score-wise. By which I mean "it's a Brighton game".

Yes it is. It's a very affectionate and accurate reflection of the Home Guard, and perhaps wartime Britain generally, as has been observed on this thread and confirmed by many people over the years. But what made it work so well was the characters, which blended so beautifully, and were...

You could argue that our rivalry with Palace only really got going because incidents and events sparked it in the 70s. Until Venables/Mullery I get the impression there was no real antipathy on either side. In recent times incidents and events have made us focus our fury and indignation on...

For all the "star" players that have been signed and sold on, and all the media hype that has surrounded "Brighton's latest recruitment triumph", it's obvious to most Brighton fans that Pascal Gross was the shrewdest signing of them all, and the one that's probably received the least outside...

Spoke to a very knowledgeable Palace fan yesterday who feels they'll be very lucky to get anything out of this game. I tried to cheer him up by promising that they'll definitely score. But beyond that, I don't really know what to expect. Probably a draw. This fixture used to give me a knot in...

Credit to Luton. They played at 100mph all through the game and never gave our players an inch of space. 5-0 would have been fair. We need a way of playing against opposition as full blooded as that.

Same here. I don't mind though, I find the sudden change of typeface weirdly exciting.

If there was a full programme of games on a Saturday and no live matches to watch on Sky/TNT, MotD would again be required viewing. These days it feels like what it is: a rather undercooked highlights show, on at a time of night when I'd rather be in bed or in the company of friends...

Can, you say ... I'm going to re-listen to Ege Bamyasi tonight for inspration and will have a surefire chant worked out for him by this time tomorrow.

Heard Goldstein the other day saying he had no idea who Johnny Marr was. So some Smiths music came on (presumably courtesy of the producer) and Goldstein asked if the vocalist was Johnny Marr. How out of the loop must a national radio presenter be not to know that Morrissey exists? I expect even...

Ah, Tommy Boyd. I remember reading an article about how the incoming boss of Talk Radio (or whetever it was called at the time) decided Boyd had to go after tuning to his show when he was conducting a phone-in on why butterflies weren't called flutterbies.

Yes, I've come to that conclusion. A low roof can really amplify the acoustics, as you often see in smaller stadia. I know Bournemouth were quiet in the game against Liverpool (at least the bits I saw) but I have heard the fans sounding quite loud at Dean Court even thought there aren't many of...

Drivetime show is really dull. Main presenter (don't know his name) just comes across as gobby and ill-informed.

Bought the strawberry one a few years back, which I used to love, but found it to be incredibly sweet and boring. Anyone else used to get very excited to discover a dry powdery bit where your mum hadn't quite mixed it together properly? A bit like finding six Shreddies still stuck together to...

More likely when we snatch a late goal to make it 1-1. But I take your general point!

It comes with the territory. Nothing to worry about and nothing that can be done. Mind you, I do get a bit fed up explaining to my teenage daughter that the latest social media diatribes she reads out do not reflect opinions that I see on NSC or hear discussed by Albion fans. Even my...
