Very nicely made, and clearly an issue for the makers that new history is constantly being written in capital letters by the Albion, making it hard / impossible to conclude. Not exactly fly on the wall, or indeed revelatory in any great sense (Glenn Murray explains his old celebration which was...

Not sure if it has been posted elsewhere already but this guy is the definitive independent expert on all things to do with UEFA club competition. https://kassiesa.net/uefa/seedel2023.html

Back in the day (what, you mean around breakfast time ?)

Is there a Brighton "Champions League" team in action this week ? Ryan, Cucurella, Goldson, Tomori, Bernardo, Bissouma,...... Manager: Potter

The clown wins it

Mitoma twice - with a Maty Ryan howler too

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...

Short answer yes - I felt there were so many football tourists in the crowd around the stadium - no idea where they get their tickets from. The bulk of the home fans felt like people just expecting a win (as much as I was just expecting a defeat) and there was a moment in the second half when...

Amazing how some of these clubs have developed some morals all of a sudden, when the boot is on the other foot. I dimly recall a moment a few months ago, when 6 of these clubs were offered dream sums of money to up sticks and join some bankrolled European Super League. Only when their own...

The points you make are not inconsequential - and I agree that all major tournaments have at least double rings of security. (Celtic's UEFA Cup Final in Seville in 2003 had the security plan changed several times on the day). The issue I'm highlighting is that UEFA / The FA / the local...

Not correct. UEFA has an army of people with absolute power to overrule the local organiser - and even more so for the Final - plus the UEFA HQ for the tournament (with real numbers of proper hierarchy) was physically based at Wembley. I'm very well aware of the dynamics of the organisation...

The irony of this decision of course is that UEFA themselves take control of the stadium and the organisational issues for every game - with a team of UEFA appointed people to control everything from brand protection, ambush marketing, broadcast access, security and match organisation. Still...

Maybe it's only me, but I thought the body language of the Staveley woman looked a little like a pretentious 5 year-old at her birthday party. It didn't look like someone considering very carefully the onerous task of throwing someone else's money at a basket case football club. I dislike...

Yeah right - when was the last time we beat City ?

And Ranieri's still in a job - what's going on at Watford - probably get sacked by half-time.
