    Hartlepool United vs Brighton & Hove Albion ***Official Thread***

    No team ( however talented ) can maintain peak performance. It now looks like we peaked at Peterboro and are now going into a lull period. The level dropped significantly v Exeter but we got an early goal and had nothing to beat. Woking worked their socks off and we lacked ideas and now we've...

    Hartlepool United vs Brighton & Hove Albion ***Official Thread***

    Got a feeling we may be experiencing our blip period...two poor performances on the trot....just hope it hasn't been prompted by Gus's changes v Woking. They always say keep a winning side...momentum and all that.

    Hartlepool United vs Brighton & Hove Albion ***Official Thread***

    No...until recent years it was totally the other way. I think we only lost once in 25-26 meetings.

    will we sign a striker in January??

    Barnes is not and will not be a great player for us. The liberal use of ' great ' in every walk of life, devalues the efforts of people who deserve this title. After you have used ' great ' there is nowhere elese to go...you have to call virtually everybody in the team ' great ' Now, lets look...

    Barnes: Couldnt score in a Brothel?

    Thats great as in Pele, Maradona, Puskas, Zidane is it? That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen....he is ( at present ) an ordinary journeyman footballer in the lower divisions. He is not a clinical finisher, thats why we picked him up relatively easily and cheaply. Gus must be...

    Is Sandaza the new Fred Binney

    Quite agree. Was on the train to Hereford when I heard Fred was being replaced by a young man from the reserves. Very surprised at first but 50 seconds into the game, Fred could have jumped off the end of the pier for all I cared. Gus has been honest enough about Fran's attributes ( or lack of...

    Why no minutes silence for Bobby Smith?

    Apologies if this has already been posted but why only a 'limp' mention at the final whistle. For us older fans, he had a remarkable effect on the club, galvanising the team and turning it from an ordinary Div.4 side into a Championship winning outfit. After two successive relegations, the club...

    Labour Leadership Contest

    If either of the Milliband brothers win, then thats the end of any Prime Ministerial ambition. Why? Because there has been no Jewish PM since Disraeli and ' the men in grey suits ' will ensure that that continues. Anti-semitism is still prevalent at the highest levels and talented as these boys...

    Lee Hendrie released by Reading

    Initially on a three week trial, he has been released early by the club after failing to impress in the 1-1 draw with Brighton on Tuesday. Thought he didn't look too bad, back end of last season but even with the loss of Nav we seem to be pretty well off with central midfielders now. I think...

    Is Barnes a dud or will he come good?

    This is my major worry. We have people saying " they are hoping that Barnes and Holroyd come good " i.e we are going into an important campaign with two unproven strikers. You knew where you stood with someone like Forster ( 15-20 gls guaranteed ) We all know we are at least 20 goals light of a...

    Why Take a Towel to Football?

    Someone near me in B block always has a towel handy to wipe down wet seats. Thoughtful, I'd say

    The Fans phone in, has it passed it's sell by date?

    1) Too much chit chat in the studio 2) Too many texts read out...have one slot towards the end of the show. 3) Have a set time every week for the full time scores...they can be 5.10...5.25...or not at all....suggest they are read out asap...i.e just after 5.00. 4) Start with match reports..the...

    Having just seen the Football League show...

    I complained at the time only to be told by someone close by that Rochdale were in purple. Whatever the colour, iit was too close and not easy on the eye.
