A foul being given against the player who has just played the ball but whose foot then strikes an opponent on the follow through seems weird to me. The opponent is often late or has failed to make the tackle. Kulusevski last night is late, runs into Dunk’s follow through and gets hurt. His own...

Not absolutely certain what the chant was but a quick search brings up a phrase including Chelsea, rent and boys.
This is judged to breach FA Discrimination rules.

Brighton wins the World Cup gold with its transfer policy: "You have to be smarter"
Brighton had never had a World Cup finalist until Qatar. A glass ceiling that Alexis Mac Allister broke...
Was that the Albion's best ever performance? Almost total dominance of Man U. 4-0! Could have been 6. Some of the interplay was phenomenal - one 5 or 6 one-touch move in the first half was jaw-dropping. I may well be suffering recency bias (!) but I don't think I've ever seen us play better...
An octogenarian uncle, still got his marbles, currently doing all right after his wife died a few years ago, has picked up a girlfriend who is 25 years younger. He's a strong character, a difficult ******* in some ways and doesn't think it's a problem, thinks he's immortal, quite independent...

"Ben White became the fifth Brighton player to play for England after Tommy Cook, Peter Ward, Steve Foster and Lewis Dunk. England have won all seven matches when Brighton players have featured, the best 100%-win record when players from a club represent the England national team."...
Brighton’s last three PL home wins have come in three different years, in December 2019, June 2020 and January 2021. They are looking to win consecutive home matches for the first time since November 2019.

Have you self isolated and recovered? This short survey posted by a Sussex man seeks to:
1) Identify how many of us have finished self isolation nationwide ie potentially immune.
2) Identify what symptoms respondents had most.

Should we individually give up flying to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases or does it make no difference what we do because the plane is going anyway?
Interesting debate here.

We want to change our 10 year old petrol car for something more environentally friendly. I do realise the most environmentally friendly thing would be not to own a car at all and where I live in London I do mainly cycle. I share the car with my wife and to see our families family in rural Sussex...
@In my opinion, before we overused #together, now it’s the time to be it.
Last time at the Molineux (in April ‘17) we won 2-0, stay positive = stay in the league. 💙⚽️⚪️🔵👍💪🏾
We need the spirit of the man
Just been listening to Watford's comeback. Fantastic. Mate in the ground is delirious. Well done the Horns! Just shows the game is never never over till the final whistle. Jealous!

From my vantage point yesterday (deep under cover among Croydon's worst) I thought the Crystals proved a better watch than the Palace.
