Of course. People are headhunted in every industry. But at what point do you start to think you're in the right place? I've been in the position myself where I could have gone to bigger outfits for more money, but other considerations including work/life balance, corporate culture etc, and...

I accept the inevitability of this. But it does make you wonder if there's one of them, a single one of the staff below, say, Bloom and Barber (and maybe not even Barber) who would see the positives in staying where they are and trying to win something with Brighton? The culture of the club, the...

So, let's recap... He's a forward who's a winger and a midfielder. He's definitely not coming, though a medical has been done and he's signing for West Ham. Or was, until his two agents fell out. He's an exciting signing, who'll most certainly be a let-down, coming from a Scandinavian club...

@dazzer6666 Thanks for uploading that. It's an absolute belting watch and has further brightened an already sunny Sunday morning!:ascarf:

Too many Palace game threads to keep up with them all today, understandably. So I'm just going to say that the sun is (was) in the sky, the lark on the wing, the hat on the side of one's head, and today everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds. Yes I'm already out getting...

Helpful and positive response. Cheers.

Not going to trawl through 81 pages to search for this, so forgive if fixtures (one for the newbies there...) He's given an interview, yesterday, to a Miami-based newspaper that follows the big clubs in Argentina quite closely. In it, he essentially confirms he's coming to Brighton, and even...

I'll second some of them on here, from the old L2/L1 days, and though they're in the Prem now, add Luton to that same list. Total sh•thole of a town, bizarre entrance between people's bathrooms, horrible, horrible fans chanting the names of our hated board at the time, and I recall a...

Last night was right up there. I'd add to this distinguished list the disbelieving bedlam after Nelson ran from about Chiswick, beat 43 players and buried it at Brentford, the equaliser at Millwall in the play-offs after they'd scored early and were piling on the pressure at The Den, and the...

He was absolutely outstanding last night, and noticeably voted the best player on the pitch in the BBC website, giving the lie to the idea that fans don't know what they're watching. Then I saw a stat on TNT or something - I forget the channels here but was watching it staying at a mate's later...

I'm sure he's fine - he always dreamed of playing for Chelsea, remember? Or was that Liverpool? Or Arsenal? I forget...

I do wonder if players ever examine their own decision-making later, or simply don't give a damn, knowing there will always be somebody else prepared to pay them handsomely if they're even halfway decent these days. Completely different levels, of course, but I remember John Keeley saying, later...

Complete outsider here, so can only ask this question from an uninformed point of view. But looking at the way the first teams are built, surely the pathway to the first team looks longer, more treacherous and less well-defined at Chelsea than anywhere else? In fact, having centres dotted all...

This is an important and thoughtful thread. Credit to the OP and anybody who opens up on here. I've always loved Christmas - every year, my folks' place was the hub where all my mates would gather in the evening and we'd have a great time. I still do, but with dad long gone and mum suffering...

Seeing it all the time now: 'very unique'. Uniqueness is not a modifiable quality - something is either unique or it isn't. Heard 'even more perfect' today too. No, no, no.

Some slightly harsh assessments of what was always going to be a battle, and was. There is great merit in the way we've dug in and held on at Forest and won this one with so many players out, IMHO. We can't play fluid attacking football every single game - and it was another, rare, clean sheet.

Ready salted Walkers, original Yorkie, diet Coke. (Edited for order.)

There is injustice being done here, but it hasn't been meted out to Everton. It's all the other clubs - and I don't know which of them that is, but surely there are some - who have done everything they can to stay within the rules, including selling players to much wealthier clubs who, in buying...

Small mortgage, shared with my missus - way smaller than it'd be if I were still in the UK, given property prices where I live now. No other debt. Haven't had a credit card for I don't know how many years - at least 15. If I can't afford something, I don't buy it. If I want to buy something...

Lot of responses here are going to depend on how long you've been watching, I think. I've just woken up on the sofa bed in my mate's house in Amsterdam and spent last night looking round the stadium, and up at the scoreboard, thinking how surreal it was after the war years, and Gillingham, and...
