Still the man. His highly probable - bordering on definite - third (second full) season here will be his best. His so-called 'whining' is irrelevant - merely the universal cry of managers insisting their club seeks to match and fund their ambitions. Most of it is lost in translation anyway.

Like many on here, didn't really 'know' him, but knew who he was, and he always offered up a quick 'how's it going, mate?' by way of a friendly greeting. The fact that so many on here can remember the good and the outrageous is testament to his popularity. Perhaps it's now the true test of...

Sodexo was awarded the contract in the second season at the Amex. They do all of the hospitality / food / drink concessions at the stadium and the training ground.

He may try to, but the rules don't allow that. That said, if Villa had John Brooks in charge of their match, they'd be allowed to retrieve a ball from behind the opposite goal. When the ball goes out of play and is not quickly retrievable, players must go to the nearest cone to collect a...

According to Wikipedia, he has made 928 first team appearances - 896 for MK Dons, 32 for Wimbledon. He must be knackered by now.

Lots of 2+2=3,368 going on here. RDZ expressing 'something', and while there is clearly some ambiguity about what, some have decided exactly what he means, irrespective of whether something gets lost in translation, or any number of things it could be. 'He'll be gone in the summer,' say those...

He mentioned 'Inigo Calderon's under 18 squad', but that was mostly in refernce to the fact that some of the U18s are playing for the U21s. Principally because a fair whack of the U21s are either playing in the first team or are out on loan.

How long is a piece of string? Licence holders will grant permission when they're ready.

I was at the screening. The producers of the film had still to get all permissions and licences for the public broadcast footage in place. No licences, no general film release. Obvs they're working on that.

Love this tribute, left in the Guardian comments... I'm so sad. Annie was there on Sunday nights in the darkest hell of teenage years. Her passion for music was infectious, and i got to love so much stuff because of her. When i was in early 20s and used to occasionally DJ on a tiny radio...

What a household....!

Not a native. She moved here in 1963 to work on local newspapers. Took Brighton to her heart, and always loved the Albion as a result.
