Clearing out the loft and coming across this precious find of the Supporters Club annual Handbook for season 1964/65 - which of you fellow old-timers remembers those!? And in the inside page a photo of Bobby Smith! An unbelievable coup for the now 4th tier BHA to secure him on 14th May for the...

OK so who's still interested in old programmes? I have loads from the 1970/80s including the odd away game, one really old Walsall vs BHA from 1961. Sorry, but I'd want to keep my 1983 semi-final and final programmes. Let me know. I'd rather do a job lot of all of them, probably 200 to 300.

https://theanalyst.com/eu/2024/02/steele-or-verbruggen-its-time-for-de-zerbi-to-choose/ in-depth analysis of Verbruggen vs Steele this season suggests Verbruggen as a no-swap, no-brainer, permanent stopper!

So psyching is all part of the game of penalty taking and saving. The giant of a goalkeeper Frank Swift always stood slightly to one side of middle to tempt the penalty taker into shooting towards the bigger gap, but Frank's height still allowed him to save to further away from his start...

For those who still like paper it's a full 3-page spread and a great read for the £3. Jason Burt had unprecedented access to the club so you can read what the players have for breakfast, dinner and takeaways too!

Had high recommendation in my newspaper so watched it through on iPlayer and was not disappointed. Agree on the Grace comparison totally.

Yes, why don't any of the main news agencies have this? Is it unconfirmed?

Mitoma's 7th goal of the season is a Premier League record for a Japanese player, beating the two Shinji's, Ozaki and Kagawa (both 6 goals) from Leicester (2017-18) and Man Utd (2012-13). I would'nt bet against him extending that record considerably before end of season.

What you call perfect timing really. All planned of course ....

Great article from Sky Sports bigging us up again. Amazing really but getting more used to it. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12810847/roberto-de-zerbis-brighton-tactics-explained-provoking-the-opposition-press-by-becoming-the-possession-kings

Nice little article on Football365 about the 'badge of honour' associated with 'teams like Brighton and Brentford'. https://www.football365.com/news/opinion-teams-like-brighton-brentford-man-utd-liverpool-brilliance

Whatever we think of Potter now we still owe him a great deal for helping to get a TEAM together over 3 seasons that fights with real spirit and oneness. He has done what RDZ hasn't had to do. Just seeing the way that the team got around Undav after he scored yesterday shows their togetherness...

Last round there were no streams for the untelevised live matches. Try as I might I couldn't find one.
