Lifted from The Guardian match report:
Brighton are a team transformed under Graham Potter, nothing like the side who trudged to Premier League survival under Chris Hughton last term. For the first half hour here they attacked with such fluency they made Villa look like dunces at a Mensa meeting
Think most players whose contracts are about to end will see their current contracts expiring on 30 June.
As they will be paid to 30 June by their current clubs it is likely many players will play the market looking for the best deal before signing a contract with a new club from 1 July at the...
Think you will find it was the FA and not Edwards who wanted Manchester United to play in the FIFA World Club Championship as part of the FA's bid to host the World Cup in England. At that time the FA had the England football team playing a lot of meaningless friendlies around the world to try...
It has always been my ambition to manage Norwich City but while I was on the M4 having just crossed the Severn Bridge I got a call from Tony Bloom offering me more money, so here I am.
It depends on whether Chris was offered the chance to leave on mutually agreed terms. He may have chosen to take the sacking to guarantee a pay off. Who really knows?
However the timing of his departure is right as it gives a new manager plenty of time to prepare for next season. Terminating...
Only three league wins in the second half of the season.
Got thumped playing at home by teams below us in the league at the time the matches were played.
Watched several games where we didn't have a shot, let alone one on target.
Some players reportedly unhappy with Chris's style of play...
Dan Ashworth was probably brought into the club due to his knowledge on up and coming English prospects. In the January transfer window it was reported we tried to sign Solanke from Liverpool. Solanke chose to join Bournemouth citing he didn't like our style of play.
What would be the point in...
At the start of the season CH was given two objectives:
1. Keep Albion in the Premier League.
2. Have a decent cup run.
CH has already met one of those objectives by getting to the FA Cup semi-final.
There is a good chance that CH will meet his other objective to keep us in the Premier...
It was reported we had just under 16,000 Bronze and Young Seagull members in March 2018 so it is unlikely there will be any tickets left by Wednesday 27 March unless as you say people are not prepared to buy the higher priced tickets.
Not everyone can get Virgin.
If you can't then use this BT Wholesale check to find out what broadband speed you can get. BT Openreach provides the cabling for other broadband providers and carrying out this check will tell you the maximum broadband speed you can get to your home...
All very laudable.
No mention of referees though. Perhaps players should be setting an example by treating referees with respect in a non threatening manner. The football industry needs to get its own house in order too.
Perhaps our first choice starters will get the opportunity to take a short planned winter break after 2 January, after a busy Christmas and New Year period where we have 4 matches in 11 days.
Our players on international duty will have had no time for a break (injuries and suspension apart)...
In 20 years we have moved on from protesting about Stanley, Bellotti and Archer asset stripping our club to near extinction, to protesting about taking flasks into a shiny new stadium while watching Premier League Football. How times have changed.
Ok, this thread might be full of wind-ups, but...
I am surprised there are still hot foods and drinks being sold on the concourses and in the lounges.
Surely they should be banned for health and safety reason as hots foods and drinks can burn your hands/ mouth/tongue/throat?
That's a shame.
You can get some decent beers at the Bison Craft Beer house in Church Road Hove.
A 20 second stroll away is the Fatto a Mano family run pizzeria selling authentic pizzas and Italian beers/lagers at reasonable prices. Combine the two and you probably have the best beers and...
