Loving the Brighton love from John O'Shea

I've done a few trips through Central and South America where it's not uncommon to meet men called Jesus. It's not pronounced the way we do here but it's still an abundance of Jesus's.

I've just never met an Ashley! Many Perry's, quite a few Nigel's, Jody's male and female, a few Jesus's and a number of Geoffrey's of every spelling variation. While I'm aware of the existence of Ashley's and have watched several of them kick a ball, I'm just yet to make the acquaintance of one...

A team that had two Ashley's, and yet in my nearly 49 years I've never met a single man with that name. Surely the only time Ashley's have outnumbered John's or James's in the history of sport. Makes me wonder if there was a sudden crisis about the Ashley-quota in English football so they had to...

Maybe they are filming one of those extended, dramatic, signing-reveal videos? Moody shots from the streets of Lancing, the sound of Seagulls, RDZ checking the size of his balls without actually revealing his identity, early indicators he's going to be Buzz's Bootroom champ dropped in as...

Great minds etc!

To the Jakub Moder tune. May need some work. Tony Bloom went to Spain In a brand new Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ Brought us back a magic man Whose name is an anagram of Faustian but that doesn't worry us

Surely he'd come to us first so we can sell him to Chelsea? I thought that's how these things work now.

You might be right. A company car that he's worked out a tax efficient way of getting. He's also worked out the exact point at which the efficiency of the car is lessened by the weight of the fuel he puts in and scrupulously keeps it under that level. He once reached 65mph on the motorway just...

Did any of them look like a horse?

I think posssssssibly there's something about some English managers that we recognise enough from other people we encounter that means we assume things and dislike them for things that if they were exotically named non-English people we'd not be bothered about because we've got less to put our...

This would cause me major fan dilemmas as I've most definitely booed his capacity for falling over mortally wounded at the slightest downdraft from the wing of an overflying seagull. And I think it might have been him that threw a ball on the pitch unpunished at the Spurs fiasco last season to...

Disgusting behaviour with potentially catastrophic consequences not just for those on the coach but others on the road too. Reading these posts I also hope for the sake of NSC it doesn't turn out the perpetrators were Christian boomer landlords.

Like any club they have their neanderthals. Had a chat with three after the game who were great. Felt we were a bit unlucky and wished us well for Europe and the rest of the season. But... ... I also know a West Ham fan who describes many of his own fellow travelling support as "horrible...

A guy near me calls a corner for us a good time to go to the loo...almost no chance of missing anything exciting

The catering staff in WSU are noticeably speedy today after the shambles last week. Looks like more people, more experienced. That counts as a surprise.

I very rarely bet on a game and only small stakes so this isn't as hard luck as most, but in 2020 when City were on their way to win the title, stamping over everyone, I did an 5 game acca in June. The banker game was City (top) beating Southampton (wobbly - finished one place above us in 16th)...

You beat me to it. Mini-Exile had a Brighton game at the Amex as her first ever game and with this quote in my mind we paused together for a moment and halted the excited chat before she got a first view of the pitch so I could make sure she really got the thrill of the noise of the crowd and...

I'm pretty sure there will be nothing funnier this season than the meltdown of Chelsea fans should they fail to win.
