She probably doesn't. I shouldn't have said what I did, but I snapped, I can't unsay it.

She does however abuse DK at every opportunity, does he deserve it?


I am not taking her side but people do hurl abuse at her for no reason.

Maybe people should look at the whole Dick Knight situation

Who every speaks about what really happens when they leave the club

Ian Chapman ?
Dean Wilkins ?
Mark Magee ?

My opinion is that no-one ever says anything when they leave - Why?

Players that leave can't speak out against anything to the club because it would jeopardise their future clubs and managers appear to be silenced

Leon Knight, Mark McCammon, Paul Reid, CKR, George O'Callaghan, Wayne Henderson, John Thomson and some others all said their piece upon leaving.

Do you have any evidence to support your allegation that managers are 'silenced'?

Yeah, I can't believe that WANKER John Thomson spoke out against the club. What was it he said again?

Thomson moved to Albion a year ago from Falkirk, while Dean Wilkins was in charge, but he has revealed the change in manager has nothing to do with his departure.

“That had no impact on it at all,” Thomson said. “I had a good relationship with Micky Adams and he was really good to me. I think he is the right man for the job and the right man to take the club forward.

“I think he has been a little bit unlucky this season but it will turn around and Brighton will be back up there.

“I think the chairman is doing the right thing keeping Micky Adams. I would imagine in January he will bring in his own players.

“He inherited a squad which wasn’t his, so it will take him time to build it and I think the chairman and Board are doing well by sticking by him. Getting rid of him now would be the wrong decision.”

Thomson has gone back north of the border with regrets about under-performing for Albion after failing to settle on the south coast with wife Briony and 19-month-old son Lucas.

The 30-year-old Glaswegian, who made 41 appearances for the Seagulls, said: “We were not settled after coming down in January. I had a word with Micky in the summer and he basically said give it a go.

“I felt I needed to give it a proper go but in the end we weren’t settled at all. We just felt to go back would be the right decision.

“We were quite settled up in Scotland and it was a big move for us, coming down.

“I don’t think I gave a true reflection of how I can play. I’m a wee bit disappointed I didn’t do as well as I thought I would have done after signing a two-and-a-half year deal.

“Brighton didn’t see the best of me and I would imagine the fans think the same. My form was kind of up and down, good one week and then indifferent.

“I wouldn’t say the players have let him (Adams) down – that is quite a strong way of putting it – but obviously the players know they have been under-achieving.

“We’ve been making mistakes which have cost us vital points. If you look back at the goals we have conceded in the last couple of minutes, without them we would be a lot further up the table.”

I think it was this

The three metioned, I would say honour and integrity.

Wrong. It's because they sign up to a deal which means they get x amount of compensation and in return they won't talk. It's a standard employment practice which extends beyond football when someone is sacked/forced to resign.

Is he a blood nut? I need to know.

Bearing in mind i have revealed my ethnicity to you previously, the odds that I am actually a ginger are quite minimal don't you think?

And why do you need to know? Not much else going on in your life?

Of those the only one I have absolutely any sympathy for is Paul Reid but even his treatment was understandable. All the rest, except Thomson (whose quotes elsewhere make his position clear) have real attitude problems and think they are an awful lot better than they are (though good luck to Wayne on his return from injury).

I am certainly worried. We're coming up to the 15th day of this Transfer Window, and nobody has come in apart from Burchill who is still on trial. We've got rid of Thomson, and brought in no suitable replacements. We also have no f***ing left back, and we've got Leeds on Saturday. And we could have Mayo at left back, which in my eyes would be a total disaster. We're going down at this rate. :(

There's no way we will get that amount of players in.I certainly don't want to rush into signing players that normally end up being crap and on lengthy contracts.

Livermore rubbish - two year

Mcleod rubbish - two year deal

Hawkins ok - two year deal,didn't need him.Lynch is far better and now Hinsh is back we have plenty of defenders.

I'd much rather a couple of quality signings then 5/6 average players.

Bishop from Bury would be a great signing.Chester also have a highly rated player.

I can't see anyone arriving before the Leeds game and i wouldn't sign Birchall either.
