None of us knows what’s going on, except for newspaper and social media titbits we pick up. I’m pretty sure the club is doing everything it can, in a very competitive environment, to land the right manager. Maybe it won’t be our first choice, because we’re Brighton, not Bayern or United or...

Leeds are generally pretty unbearable in most respects. Southampton irritate me less and certainly have fewer armchair fans from other parts of the country. I'm in my mid 50s and seem to encounter loads of blokes slightly older than me who have southern accents and claim to have supported Leeds...

I have no tribal loyalties at all in politics and can find good and bad things to say about pretty much all the parties. However my number one ambition at this election is to remove the current government and I'll vote for the party best placed to unseat or keep out the Tory candidate. That's...

Nothing weird about this. RDZ will say his farewells and PB will be there to deal with inevitable questions about what’s happening next, which RDZ is not in a position to answer. Do people really believe RDZ has just reached an amicable settlement with the club only to slag off the owners to...

The impression you get is that Ten Hag has a really poor relationship with his players. I'm just basing that on the results his team achieves., the body language of everyone on the pitch, in the dugout and technical area, and the interviews you see before and after games. No doubt MUFC will roll...

No offence to Southend ... but I imagine Pearce might have better offers. I think ambitious players would be wary of joining a club that still seems to be in turmoil, if I understood the article I read last week in one of the nationals.

Corrected for you ... as they say

I’ve voted in every possible election since I was 18. But not PCC. I’m simply not qualified to judge the candidates and I don’t think it’s right to choose them based on party loyalties.

I was happy with it when we were there but going back now seems like no fun at all. Though most of us would stick around if it ever happens. For those who may occasionally get disllusioned with the PL, Sussex has some decent non-league options for those who want to escape VAR for an afternoon...

No Maupay? Don't tell me he's now injured as well?

For me it’s that deranged gum chewing with his mouth wide open. I preferred Barry Lloyd with his cigs.

I was in that stand and from what I could see, the guy didn't argue or make a fuss and left the stand with his son in a very orderly way. There was a beer bottle in the popcorn bucket he was carrying.

I prefer Easter to Christmas in many ways. Four days off at a time of the year when nature is coming back to life and there's a sense of positivity and anticipation in the air. I can see why pagan communities felt like celebrating this period and why the Christian church decided it would be a...

For what it's worth, I've got down to a healthy BMI like this. 1. Exercise each morning – no breakfast, just an Athletic Greens shake 2. Don't eat till 12 noon – then it'll usually be a big bowl of healthy muesli that's packed with nuts and seeds etc but no added sugar, and maybe a pear, maybe...
