Sporty little red open-top sports car with this reg spotted yesterday in Marlow close to Bisham Abbey. Any Albion/England link?Thought immediately of Anthony Knockaert but that makes no sense!

Call me silly if you like, but somehow I thought this Levelling Up Fund thingy was to award money to deprived areas of the country to help a process of "Levelling Up", just as it says on the tin? I was very surprised therefore to see a large notice board on Hove promenade yesterday announcing...

The police have designated a recent murder as a "hate crime". Why? What exactly does this mean? Aren't all murders "hate crimes"? What's the alternative description? So many of the labels used by the authorities are just stupid. A personal opinion of course. Another one is "special measures"...

This "City" status thing is getting a bad name. Southend given it a few weeks back, now Colchester, Doncaster and Wrexham among others. I think we should give ours back. Becoming completely meaningless now .... or maybe it always was?

OK, we get the Ukraine flag banner thing. All very nice. But NSC is supposed to be mostly about football, and particularly about the Albion, so what about the banner featuring a photo of the Amex scoreboard at the end of the Man Utd game? Something we're unlikely to ever see again in our...

If we can manage with 91,000 fewer civil service it begs the question as to why they were employed in the first place?

Sam scored two for Oxford on Saturday who are having a good season. Well done him. Good to see him still scoring.

Had no idea he was back in Sussex playing for Crawley. And he scored yesterday. Seems like he was with QPR for ever. When was it he left Brighton?

SIR Tony Blair. What a joke. Take us into an unnecessary war that kills thousands and you're given a Sir-ship. Disgusting. And Sir Whitty. What has he done except kept the whole country locked away for 18 months and in the process achieved bugger all?

Sanchez 7. Some pretty decent saves, but his kicking still needs work. Lamptey 7. Not at his best, but one of our better players. Veltman 7. MOM. Burn 5. And that's being generous. Cucurella 6. Not his best performance. Mwepu 5. Didn't impose himself on the game. And that miss! Bissouma 6...

With Dunk and Duffy both out on Sunday, who's next in line for the captain's armband? Lallana?

Haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere. Roger Alton writes in Spectator Sport in an article about Solskjaer and Man U: Perhaps the best English manager of the current crop will turn out to be Brighton's inspirational Graham Potter.He has always had the ability to develop players' self belief in...

Standard Life Aberdeen becomes Abrdn. And in a letter to investors they have to explain that the new name is pronounced "Aberdeen". How much do these companies waste on employing brand "experts" to dream up such crap?

Rod Liddle in the latest edition of The Spectator talks about Labour's chances of winning back the "red wall" seats. He says "it can't ever because in order to do so it would have to adopt policies which would estrange it from the areas it can do well: affluent university cities such as Oxford...

Tory former minister Steve Baker told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It's time to move to a voluntary system - unless the government can demonstrate otherwise. "And it is time for us to actually start living like a free people, not subjecting ourselves to constantly shifting legal...

I've been clearing out a very large number of my Albion programmes, only keeping the significant ones. I came across three copies of Gull's Eye from May 1991, October 1992 and February 1993. If anyone would like them before they go in the bin please PM me and I will mail them to you.

Going through old programmes I came across a News Release handed out at the home game on Dec 21st 1995 which informed us that: Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club are delighted to announce today that they have submitted a planning application to develop a new football stadium, sports complex...

I was fundamentally opposed to the original, and I'm vehemently opposed to the 3 week extension. Where is the campaign to voice the objections of sensible free-thinking people to these draconian regulations? Or is the entire population meekly following along like a flock of scared sheep? If this...

The bluebells are possibly the most prolific I have ever seen this year. Stunning displays out there in the woods. Yesterday the bluebells in Cripps Wood just east of Southwater were a sight to behold.

Here in Mid Sussex it is anyway. Reason given because staff needed for increase in volume of recycling and rubbish collections. How many people are there out there who can drive trucks who are currently deprived of their livelihoods due to this governments draconian restrictions? Surely some of...
