Only a matter of time before the Charity Shield is moved. Let's face it, the teams involved are all away on tours anyway so why not just play that game in Saudi or China or USA two weeks ahead of season start. As mentioned, the Spanish Super Cup is already played overseas but as a tournament...

I've taken Everton and, dare I say it, Palace (twice) fans to sit next to me. I do introduce them to those around me and my friends understand the rules, no celebrating. But you're right, I can't give my ticket to an Albion fan for a game but I know of a Man Utd guy who has purchased Albion+...

Really, are you sure? They can do this as there will be NO EPL games played at 3pm. So it's going the other way in that we may never see a Saturday 3pm KO next season.

At what time Thursday, or even Wednesday evening, does the 'I sat next to a Chelsea fan' thread start. I had Man City fans in front of me recently and they sat very still. Wasn't until one guy turned on his phone and I saw the Man City crest as his home page I knew. Well behaved they stayed all...

Starting in August, it will have 100 feeds, all on t'internet I guess. EFL ifollow to shut down as Sky will show every EFL club at least 20 times a seaon. It's too early in the day to do any sums but that would mean half of each clubs games on TV, but the 3pm blackout still is in force. So how...

The Northern Lights will shine on Brighton today. Will be watching listening whilst having an eye on the Luton score. Shame to see them go down.

Jump in a car to somewhere dark. Unbelievable sky on the outskirts of Uckfield. For best effect view through your phone.

I'd love an Albion / Leverkusen scarf.

Just had this from my Palace supporting mate

I stand corrected, thanks google for incorrect info, they own Cinch. But this could well be part of my story. We Buy Any Car are buying up as many used cars as they can and then selling them at their own auction houses to the traders, hence the price of used cars going up. Except that the better...

Bigger story than you think. Cazoo is owned by Constallation group who also have We Buy Any Car and British Car Auctions. They've been accused of wrapping up the used car market, keeping all good cars for Cazoo and selling rubbish at the BCA where small traders pick up their stock. EDIT...

I've just leapt up and shouted louder when the Leverkusen goal went in than many Brighton goals. I feel a part of them. Anyone still going to Dublin?

Obviously the Brighton Pier should be Palace Pier, my error. You're right, I'll not charge to enter my shop, but I work hard to have things people want to spend money on. I guess it's like outside Christmas decorations. You do it for free but some houses spend big and like a charity donation.

I deal with the pier a lot on the retail side of things. Each year they get 10 million visitors but standing at the exit it is surprising how many people just go for a stroll on the pier. The odd drink, chips or candy floss maybe, but the vast majority spend nothing. Yes it is expensive but it's...

Not a legal eagle but ask them to show in pictures the paintwork they are not happy with. Maybe it was damaged in transit? If the pictures show areas you also took pictures of then you are in the clear as you showed them any damage.
