It's weird. I like Manchester, I like a lot of things that have come out of Manchester, and I like a lot of Mancunians. But Man Utd fans, as a subset of all of the above, set my teeth on edge. I think they deserved a longer period in the football doldrums than they ended up enduring.

Got the coach home and it took three hours ... not too bad in the scheme of things. Son tried his luck on the trains, and got home (to Seaford) six hours after the game ended, having paid a £65 taxi fare from Brighton because he was too late for any connecting trains. (He'd failed to board two...

It's OK. Players gave it their best shot and penalties are a lottery. Someone had to make a mistake and maybe it was for the best that it was a player who is widely loved and has been playing the football of his career. I think most of us actually thought we would win yesterday, so there is a...

RIP. Saw him in Eastbourne on his tour last year. A very funny man.

The Times also has an interview with him today and it’s almost identical.

I agree and so does my wife.

Since 1979. The question I posed contained the phrase “in the Amex era”.

Interesting to gauge how fans feel about our recent managers. I've used the word "fondness" in the question because it covers a lot of ground. I guess you can base your answer on a number of factors, including the results they achieved, their attitude to the job, the manner in which they left...

I always celebrate St George's Day. It's my birthday.

I don't think anyone's trying to manufacture a "rivalry" with Chelsea. They don't give us a second thought, I'm sure. This is more a simple, visceral dislike of a club that has been using dodgy money for a couple of decades to buy a level of success that its supporters now feel entitled to. A...

I can't claim 50 years of Palace hatred but other than that I know what you mean. I forced myself to stay awake last night just to savour Chelsea losing 2-0 at home to Real Madrid. I devour all broadsheet coverage of Chelsea's travails and mismanagement with glee. These days, it's not enough...

Seem to remember some unpleasant bits and pieces after the Man City semi final, and to be honest all of the idiots I saw seemed to be our idiots. It didn't make me particularly proud to be a BHA fan if I'm honest. I wouldn't call it widespread, or old-school hooliganism, though.

We're in Row X ESL and I think in 11 years we've only got slightly wet twice, when the rain was fine and the wind was really swirling around. But that's obviously a fair way back. We've seen people in the first 10 or so rows get a soaking for sure.

I used to go to the Buckle pub as a kid in the early 70s, with parents and grandparents, and it seemed magical. It's not really recognisable as the same place these days. Just seems a bit confused and slightly tacky, and the outdoor bit is not very inviting. But people do love Seaford seafront...

Bizarre line to take: "Would you have a problem with it"?

Going along on Friday for a day of fun and frolics. Free tickets were available and it's a sell-out.

The more you think about it, the more it becomes evident that the team that would suit Potter best, in terms of its recruitment, long-term vision, patience, loyalty, style of football and potential is ... Brighton & Hove Albion. He could have potentially spent a decade here, doing what he does...

If anything I was surprised we didn't indulge in more "game management" last night. At times I just wanted us to keep the ball and/or slow things down, but (a) Bournemouth were pressing us too much to allow that and (b) I don't think it's in our DNA to stop attacking. I think the players were...

Occasionally I spend a few minutes here and there just watching Caicedo, on and off the ball. It seems to me that whenever he wants the ball, he gets the ball. And then when he's decided where the ball is going next, that's exactly where it goes. Nothing ever seems to interfere with his...

Amazing performances from our teenagers, with more coming up through the ranks too. If we do qualify for Europe, I wonder if the recruitment team will be looking to bolster our ranks with some older heads (the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlaine etc) or whether we'll simply give the kids more game...
