He talks a good game. And he's successful, so there's clearly something to it. My reservation about what he says is that it can be very abstract, and must hide a lot of what he actually does. I bet every football club Chief Exec says "alignment" is vital, but it's what you put in place that...

They don't have time before a General Election to implement this sort of change though, do they? Nearly all government policy announcements now are just that - announcements - not something that's actually going to happen.

Any idea how much longer than normal the buses are taking? There are bus lanes for parts of the route, which must help. I'm interested as I have to get to Seaford early on Saturday, and this might still be going on.

There's nothing to hold up the decision now, is there? As in, the only additional fixture either team could have is Chelsea could reach the Cup Final, which has no bearing on the date of the game to rearrange.

I read the article as saying: the excess of private landlords, combined with poor renter rights, pushes prices up a lot. But iswym that doesn't explain an actual shortage.

I'm born and bred Hastings, living in Brighton now, and have seen all the younger adults in my family move away, mostly to places in Kent, in order to afford somewhere to live. I've bought the argument that we need loads more homes built in this country to address this, but a friend sent me...

It's a good place to travel to Falmer from on match day. End of the line, guaranteed a seat. Other than that, it's an OK seaside town, the town centre is really unfriendly for pedestrians, but really it's all about the lovely seafront, massively long beach and walks up Seaford Head.

I agree. But I worry that the joy would be short-lived. To stop a handful of "massive" clubs dominating, the Rump Premier League would only remain competitive long-term if the revenues were well shared between at least the remaining top 50 clubs, and you can't see the likes of PBOBE liking that...

It's market forces yes ... but it's based on responding to market signals (if that's the right word). Doing it differently would depend on someone saying "I got this", so the airlines don't get thousands of people searching for the same thing.

The really galling thing about the scramble as several thousand Albion fans tried to sort travel and accommodation and match tickets is that when it came to travel, the fact that we were all operating separately made flights more expensive - much more expensive - for the majority. This works...

It's sorted by column B, then by *reverse* alphabetical order. Innovative.

I had a look this afternoon. No problem registering for tickets via the Hamburg website, and i could've bought tix for the main sections of the ground for their home leg v Marseille next week. On that basis, it they qualify and we draw them, anyone who can afford it could go. It looked like it's...

It has to be, doesn't it? Champions of All England - can you imagine?!

yep, mine arrived over a week ago

The weirdest Boney M thing I've come across is that they did a Europop version of Iron Butterfly's 17 minute psych classic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the b-side of one of their singles, and mimed to it one time on German TV
