The 2 longest established weekly quizzes that I am aware of are at the Battle of Trafalgar and at the Lion and Lobster. Both of these run on a Monday night. The Battle's quiz is hosted by Dave Potter who is probably about the most well-known quizmaster in Brighton pubs, having been hosting and...

I think Brighton should play to their strengths which is the pace and movement of their attackers and their wide players. On that basis, I would be inclined to play Izqueirdo up front with Knockaert and March out wide and Gross in the number 10 position. That might seem a bit leftfield and...

Not sure what the odds are on it, but it wouldn't surprise me if all 3 promoted teams from last season stay up in the Premier League come the end of this season. There are several clubs already in the Premier League that have problems they need to address.

Depends on what the player wants. Maybe he feels he is more likely to be guaranteed first team football at Brentford and then if he does well there, it puts him in the shop window for a more lucrative move later down the line. Brentford have been a bit of a stepping stone club for a few players...

Federer looks very hard to beat tomorrow. That said, Cilic is the one guy who could possibly cause him a problem. He has been an excellent grass court player for several years now and was mightily unlucky to lose the final at Queen's a few weeks ago, despite not losing a service game in the...

Despite winning the competition last year, Heather Watson and Henri Kontinen were unseeded this year. Not quite sure how the seedings committee worked that one out. That said, Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis are 2 formidable doubles players so they would have to start as the favourites.

Cobblers, the lot of it. On a warm summer's day when the seafront is full of people enjoying themselves, I can't think of many places in this country you would rather be.

Hopefully he won't put his back out bending down to pick the ball out of the net. Would expect him to be kept very busy in that match.

Both O'Sullivan's 146 break and Selby's 143 break today were magnificent breaks. Once Selby had the frame safe he took on some extraordinary shots in his 143. Where the last 4 reds were left in his break, you'd never have expected him to have ended up making a total clearance.

Used to have a women's tennis tournament take place in Brighton indoors towards the end of the season. Seem to remember Steffi Graf and Jana Novotna both won it before it got axed in the 1990s. British Open snooker took place at the Brighton Centre a few times in the 2000s. With other British...

Just into Hove, but Archipelago's is really good for Greek food. There's a set menu where you can have 3 courses for under £15, but alternatively there's Meze options and also quite a number of Greek dishes you can choose from. It's always quite busy, but I find it quite cosy and the staff...

How do we know that he hasn't spoken to the chairman about this already? It's not the first time Hartlepool have been in a relegation battle in recent years, but I don't recall Stelling getting this angry towards a manager before, which suggests to me that his agenda is that he has been angry...

Maybe so. They'd still be exceedingly daft to choose to dispense with him on the basis of results over the last few weeks.

Notts are going to be a major force in Division 2 this season. Considering that there are no test matches until July this year, Broad, Pattinson and Ball are going to fill their boots with wickets at that level whenever they are available. Sussex have got problems though. Injuries already and...

Yes. His analysis quite often consists of "if all else fails, rough their star player up to let him know you're there". Possibly showing why "cultured" wasn't a word often used to describe Danny Murphy as a footballer.

Dele Alli is a wonderful footballer. Love watching him play. Scores so many goals from midfield too. Brilliant FA Cup semi-final so far, one of the best of the last 10 years or so. Very much on a knife-edge.

Excellent job Nigel Clough has done for them this season and credit for him seeing it through rather than being drawn by the emotion of going to Nottingham Forest. A smart move and he may well be getting better offers of employment in due course.

If Leeds decide to fire Garry Monk on the basis of 6 weeks of results, they would be crazy. Without the volume of goals Chris Wood has scored this season, Leeds would be slap bang in mid-table.

Bringing in Tim Sherwood as the Director of Football has sure been the dream ticket, hasn't it? At least for Oxford fans anyway.

Stelling is also quite good friends with Craig Hignett, who Dave Jones replaced as manager. As much as Hartlepool's current league position is likely the main focus of his ire, I imagine he is particularly angry as he feels that his friend was shafted and would have done a better job if he was...
