So where is Brighton? I always thought it was in one of the Sussexs, how come we sing GOSBTS then?
But as a player, he was whiny, a niggly fouler, an imaginary card waver and a diver. A very unsportsmanlike player.

Isnt it funny how people always find things wrong with winners.
We don't sing it in an administrative sense, only an historically geographical one.
Well at least I do.
Everywhere I have looked, puts Brighton in East Sussex. Even the unitary city of Brighton and hove is in the historic county of Sussex, the ceremonial county of (East) Sussex, and the administrative county of East Sussex, never that i can find is it mentioned as not being in Sussex.

Ceremonially, Brighton is in East Sussex.
Administratively, it's its own authority.
Head along the coast, and you'll see a sign for 'East Sussex' in Saltdean. Likewise, you'll see a sign for 'East Sussex' as you reach Falmer.
good blog.
I am mystified as to why people don't like Gus though. I can't stand Chelsea. Never liked them. But weirdly, always liked a lot of their players from that period just before the Russian showed up; Vialli, Zola, Di Matteo and Gus. Not just because they were great players but they all seemed like genuine, nice, intelligent guys. And I know it's not just me, plenty of people have a lot of time for Poyet.
Yes it is
It's just the way he conducted himself as a player. Sorry. If I wanted to cause a row here, I would suggest that his attitude was reflected in the way your team played at St. Mary's this season, but I don't, so I won't. ;-)
I liked Zola, Vialli etc. too!
Anyway, if I havent' achieved anything else, at least I have caused a minor debate about administrative county boundaries!
Well I am mystified as to why you think he conducted himself like this, he does not have that reputation in football.
We were in the Premier League when he was a player remember this is born out of first hand experience. I think he does have that reputation with a lot of his opposition fans from that era!
In my experience Gus Poyet has always been a popular figure in football. Brighton or no Brighton connection.
