Doubt it. His release clause was only £1.8m

Supporting a Brighton player who was having a bit of a 'mare? Quaint I know when the fashion is to stick the boot into everybody as soon as things don't go well.

This Acer looks good to me. Good spec for the price (better processor than the Atom) and positive user reviews. Acer Aspire One 522-C5Dkk (LU.SES0D.206) - Compare Prices - PriceRunner UK

Used to work with a 17 year old girl in Derby. She'd never been to London and had only been outside of Derby three times, twice to Skegness. It was 20 years ago, but even so.

Weird comment to make. Pisses off existing team, owner, players he is currently talking to about coming in and fans. There is no upside for him, other than to effectively say "dont blame me for results" - which in itself isnt a good message either!

Totally second that. I went reluctantly because girlfriend wanted to go. Fabulous place, far far better than I expected - really exotic and 'foreign' without havung to rough it.

TB is a good guy and no doubt will look after Albion - but there is a debt (even if he decides it should be written off if he dies) and Albion arent breaking even, the club is being funded by a rich guy. If he were to walk away Albions situation wouldnt be any different to Pompey's who had...

Some businesses, like football clubs, airlines and ice cream sales are cyclical. You have a lot of income at certain points of the year and little at others. Credit facilities cover the lean times of the year. Barclays pulled the credit on Southampton in April - at the lowest point of the year...

Albion would be straight into admin if anything...

Total bollocks. The biggest cause is unforseen relegation. In Southampton's case Barclay's unilaterally halved their overdraft limit without notice when the credit crunch struck. They went into admin over a £6,000 cheque. One day the money was there, the next it wasnt.

Wind up Taricco. A couple of well placed whispers in the ear and he'll do something stupid.

You occasionally get some good deals but for the vast majority of stuff they have simply claimed the value is way in excess of its actual worth and then proclaim a massive discount off the price they just made up.

Anyone been to see Cinderella this year? Worth taking a 7 and 8 year old to?

I drove to Falmer from Woodingdean one evening a couple of weeks ago and the whole stadium was lit up although there hadnt been a game that day - it looked great but seemed odd. I do have sympathy for people who have lived in Falmer since before the widened A27 cut the village in two and...
