49 and a half years ago Brighton were promoted to the old division two - and for all the pretendances at the Amex, the figure officially stated at the Goldstone that night was a record breaking 34,766 joining the party against Rochdale. I was in my mid-teens and standing behind the goal in the...

Haven't seen this elsewhere - but Soccerway website says that Albion's Austrian friendly on July 13th is against 2nd division side FC Leifering - being played at Sportplatz Bischofshofen - 14.00 KO. No idea why this seems to been kept as a secret but maybe only just confirmed. Dunno. A...

Was strange watching a bit of the AFC Champions League qualifier today - with Poyet and Oatway on the touchline - and Tevez (on his debut) and Obafemi Martins on the pitch. Shanghai are already out after this one-leg play-off qualifier at home to the tricky Aussies of Brisbane Roar. Lots of...

Can't make up my mind on this. Is it classy for a referee to tattoo himself with Champions League Final and Euro 2016 tattoos because it is his greatest achievement - or is it strange that this stuff is publicised at all - and he's a self-seeking twerp ? Don't like his perma tan and that he...

Are we the biggest club in waiting ? Brighton, Bristol City, Huddersfield, Millwall, Preston, Plymouth, Notts County, Oxford, Luton and about 40 other tiddlers Clubs that have been in the glorious Sky Premier League: Swindon, Barnsley, Reading, Bournemouth, Oldham, Blackpool, Bradford...

Is it just me or do I notice a serious erosion of Sky Sports live coverage of anything much for all its plethora of sports channels. Yes, I know there's a lot on over a year, but looking for something of interest tonight it seems mostly "old stuff", compendium shows, and "greatest moments"...

Hope Hughton is watching - would love to see him back

Yaser Kasim was MOM today for Iraq against (Ray Wilkins mob) Jordan in the Asian Championship game in Brisbane. Scored the winner late on with a decent goal, and ran the midfield throughout. Commentator said "with respect to Swindon Town it won't be long before the big clubs come calling"...

Always wonder why Tony Bloom isn't listed in the richest 1000 peope in Britain. Minimum qualification is assets of (only !!) £85 million + Interesting some of the football ownership members: 2nd Alisher Usmanov - 30% owner of Arsenal 3rd Lakshmi Mittal - 33% owner of QPR 9th Roman Abramovich...

Can't imagine the Chelsea fans have been having much fun listening to Mourinho bleating about how they could not win the league, how crap (and old) his strikers are, how Hazard can't defend. Guess what, with all that negativity they looked average against the power of Norwich and the end result...

If you want some relief from the ridiculous calamity unfolding at the Albion - with the players due back for training soon - friendlies on the way - Barber in his sleveless Puffa jacket taking training no doubt with a few star jumps - and punting out season tickets and great offers to gullible...

And I quote: "Ticket's are current off sale to Seagulls fans for Albion's FA Cup fourth round tie against Arsenal..." Albion Will Host Arsenal The headline currently on the site, presumably written in haste last night, with the obligatory rogue apostrophe and confusing use of plain English...

Michel Platini paying back the little countries who helped vote him in as President - but really the fans don't need Euro to last longer than it already does. Seems like greed, and more games for players who over-play already. With 53 or so countries in Europe - if you eliminate the no-hopers...

Mark Bright - clueless Martin Keown - not much better Mark Lawrenson - annoyingly sardonic Jim Beglin - best of the bunch Jonathan Pearce - scaled back from his days of hysteria - but still over-excited Guy Mowbray - excellent Peter Drury - good enough Can't remember the other one Still to...

Chris Wood scored a hat-trick today for New Zealand all in the first 30 minutes, against the tricky Solomon Islanders from the South Seas - substituted after 64 minutes
