How depressing is this graphic? Last time we won back to back league games was September 2023.
Said it before, but any other manager would be in serious trouble with this track record.
Doubtless there will be loads of well-informed people on here to set the record straight but was watching the European football this week and wondered what players/teams from France, Germany, Spain, etc call things like the 18-yard box? Is it the 16.4592 metre area? And do they take penalties...
So, a few years back we had someone in the team designated to be the 'draught excluder' to lie down behind the wall at opposition free-kicks but now we seem to have a 'ball protector' whose job it is to retain the ball before a penalty kick before handing it over to the taker.
So what's next?
Just been to Aldi.
One litre bottle of extra virgin olive oil that used to be £1.99 not so long ago, now... £5.99!!!
What are the best (and cheaper) alternatives?
Given that we can talk about these things openly these days, I thought I'd start a poll. Me? I do four or five. I did the Bowel Cancer test thing I got through the post recently and that was all clear, so I suspect I'm OK.
I'm usually a glass 5/8ths full kind of person but this has dipped to around 5/16ths in light of injuries.
So please cheer me up with an XI to give me a reason to smile/live for next Thursday's big one.
Thanks.
Just wondered what happens to this chant if or when we get knocked out of the Europa League?
Does it just float off to the big chant graveyard in the sky?
Or can it be amended/remixed?
Well, just that really. Why should choosing an end to attack be a thing? Or kicking the ball back from the centre spot?
Let's get rid.
It will also make my son's job easier when he refs on a Sunday and stop him tipping the jar of coppers out all over the kitchen table and having to settle...
My daughter works on matchdays in the kiosks and last night from their one kiosk alone (I won't say which stand) they threw away nearly 100 pies and sausage rolls because they're cooked and can't be given to food banks, etc. Multiply that across all of the kiosks in the Amex and that's a lot of...
So, I was driving back into Brighton after walking my dogs on Ditchling Beacon this morning. Wasn't going much more than 40mph. A black labrador ran out of the woods straight in front of me and I hit it. The cars behind me saw it happen and can back me up. The owner of the poor dog appeared soon...
Barely a game passes these days without a minute's silence before kick-off.
I think my favourite one was soon after Princess Diana's death at an England game when then manager Glenn Hoddle said it was "the best minute's silence I've ever heard."
It does make me think that the kit...
It's high time that our talismanic skipper was honoured in Brighton and Hove and I don't mean with a bus named after him like Leo Sayer or Alan Weeks.
He needs a landmark or attraction named after him.
I suggest the currently unsponsored i360; a towering presence that dominates our city...
So, a few weeks ago Pervis Estupinan was awarded an assist for tapping the ball to Karou Mitoma miles out from goal and then watching as he beat the entire Wolves team to score a worldie.
Now, Adam Lallana’s genius dummy to set up Danny Welbeck’s goal on Saturday might not have involved him...
Does anybody else have a completely irrational hatred of the super-glum Newcastle boss?
I'm 53 and I've never really experienced this before.
Will it go away?
Please help.
