Blunkett 'did speed nanny's visa' Reports of Mr Blunkett's relationship first appeared in August An official inquiry has found a "chain of events" linking David Blunkett to the speeding up of a visa application by his ex-lover Kimberly Quinn's nanny. Former treasury adviser Sir Alan Budd...

As you seem to have a very good knowledge of the planning process, I was wondering if you could answer the following. I assume that the first enquiry has proved that we need a stadium and it is in the national interest. If my first assumption is correct, and we are now holding a second enquiry...

Played very well, kept on his feet, looked well up for it and had their defence chasing shadows at times. Definately MOM. I can't see how McGhee can't play him up front. Him and Claridge could form a decent partnership. Claridge does look a bit slow though, not just running, but foot...

Anyone else watch it on Sunday night. I thought it was good, OK it was far-fetched, but still thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait 'til next episode.

I've been thinking this for some time now, but my views on the current squad. Kuipers - does not command his box, nor shout to the defence to let them know what to do. Good shot stopper, but makes me nrevous. Roberts - if he can sort out his back, he's the better keeper by far. Harding -...

Been reading a few threads and it got me thnking. A thread can start off about DK, and up about Iraq (well, bit extreme maybe, but you get my drift). Lets have a thread where we take an idea from the previous post, but go off at a tangent (bit like politicians :lolol: ). John Prescott , 2...

Dear Larus (name withheld to protect me from stalkers :ohmy: ) We are in receipt of your communication. Whilst appreciating how frustrating the situation is, other than assuring you that The League does not wish to lose any club and continues to maintain a dialogue with Wrexham, there is...

If movement causes friction and friction is enery and enery gets turned to heat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . how many w**ks does it take to boil a kettle?

Following on from Fatboys topic to the question on the 'Ask The Club' section regarding 'How much chewing gum does Bob Booker get through?', can we put something on the section, either a banner or a sticky, to request the posters to only create topics which are really worthwhile. Now, what I...

There's a petition going round in our company from Sussex Enterprise to get the council to provide a Park & Ride scheme at Braepool. Does anyone know if this is 'linked' to the planning application for the additional 2000 seats at Withdean?

Okay, we're 21st. Look at the bottom half of the table. We're 4 points above Gillingham, on the same points as 3 other teams, and the team in 13th pace is only 3 points above us. If we'd won on Saturday, we would have been mid-table. So, because we lost, we're going to get relegated...

Why didn't he start? From what I've seen of him this season he warrants a regular starting place. When he came on today we looked a lot more threatening, he had a few runs into their penalty area, and looked very compoed on the ball. Just hope he starts in midfield with Alexis next week...

And Leeds & Cardiff both fail to lose, and Wolves win, we go down to 21st place. Not an unrealistic scenario. Rotherham v Cardiff Preston v Leeds Wolves v Forest OK, we would have a 5 point cushion over Forest, and I expect Gillingham to lose as well, but we don't want to be in the place...

On Ceefax tonight, there's a page saying that Alan Milburn has been told to prepare to be ready in case Phony Bliar wants a snap election in February. Hope there's no foundation to the story. Would well and truely bugger us up (shouldn't use that word as a Brighton fan should I :ohmy: )...

I've not seen another board that is as active as ours. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but we do seem to get a lot of posting and (in most cases), a lot of friendly banter. Went onto one of the Sunderland boards; got very lonely. No-one wanted to talk to me. HELLO, I SAID...

I've read a lot of posts saying things like Leeds were very poor, worst team to play here this season. I thought they wre OK. Strong, battling/aggressive team. Lacked a real killer edge, but had a few good chances. Don't minimise the level of our performance by saying that they were poor...

After listening to the SCR commentary on Weds night, MA has definately got an affinity with us as a club. I didn't hear the part about becoming director of football, but you could almost sense him wanting to say US when he spoke about the team. Who would swap MM for MA now? Would you want him...

Now, I'm not a superstitious person at all, but I'm beginning to think of Adam Virgo as being our lucky charm. Think about it, scores in the dying seconds against Swinedon. Scores one of the penalties. Scores with a mis-kicked free-kick to gain a point against Coventry. Scores a blinder against...

To start with, I was sure we would get Falmer, and was a bit irritated by having a new inquiry. However, as has been posted by people who were predicting the announcement on Mon/Tue, the ODPM has now removed any grounds for a Judicial Review. I'm not a lawyer, but by having an additional...

If phase II of the planning enquiry is not started/complete, what action should we take at the conference to raise the Falmer issue again? As has been pointed out, JP seems be be doing what he can to say yes, but in a way where it cam't be challenged. Now, as frustrating as this is, negative...
