    Will Saturday be your first Premier League game?

    Seen Spurs three times, including against Palarse who won 1-0 thanks to an Eddie McGoldrick goal. I was nearly as pissed off as my two Spurs supporting mates.

    I wonder how Gus Poyet is feeling today ?

    I would like to think he is wishing the club well for the coming season, when he isn't busy doing his job. As for the media coverage, do you mean any media Enrest? I am sure he gets his picture in the Shanghai Argus and is quoted at length by their football correspondent, An Dee Nay Lor.

    Club record transfer records

    Does this mean that Jose Izquierdo will have to appear on Blind Date as well?

    Club record transfer records

    Lawro was £100k in summer of 77. Remember being shocked that the Albion were splashing that much cash at the time. Teddy Maybank arrived later that year (October, November) for £175k, I think Not sure that was exceeded until we signed Michael Robinson and Gordon Smith, both for £400k in the...

    All very exciting these foreign player signings, but ...

    This summer's age category competitions might argue against this statement although the proof will be when this talent breaks through to become regular starters in their respective club's first teams. I can't help thinking that the problem is more that it is a bit of a cushy number for a young...

    Highest-ever league placing

    1977-78 we were 12 best-supported club. I think it will be impossible to improve on that, given that it is, as you say, tickets sold, rather than actual attendance. However, we will get our first 30,000+ crowd in the top flight of English football on Saturday.

    City fans

    Would someone be kind enough to post a list of the best forums for the clubs we will be playing in the league for the first time since the development of this internet thingy? I don't eat biscuits and I'm celibate.

    Fourth in the distance travelled league.

    Are the figures accurate? No way is it 10 miles from White Hart Lane to the Emirates.

    Phil McNulty league table predictions

    So poorly written. I would rather read a 16 year old's blog. Well, I wouldn't, but it would provide just about the same level of insight. "Brighton will be a great place to watch Premier League football this season"; what does this mean. Sitting in a pub on the seafront watching Arsenal vs...

    Glen Campbell

    Pop music really doesn't get any better than his three collaborations with the composing genius that is Jimmy Webb - Galveston, By The Time I Get To Phoenix and the absolutely sublime Wichita Lineman. RIP Glen Campbell.

    Overall mood before the big kick off...

    I think DR was making another of his insightful political comments; should anyone have tried to remove libertarians from the Brighton ground they would suffer the consequences. The Heritage Foundation would have been after them straight away

    Absolutely top rate educational establishment which has produced some dazzling alumni over the decades. Fact!

    Somebody pinch me

    Agree 100% with this. And it's all the sweeter for coming after the hard times. 50 years for me as a supporter this year and I am enjoying every minute of it, with some of the pinch me stuff that others have mentioned.

    Clapping away players off/onto the pitch

    It's entertainment innit. Clapping players off and creating a "cauldron" atmosphere are not mutually exclusive. The last time I looked players only left the field when there is a break in play.

    Brighton and Hove Albion hero Steve Foster reflects on scars of the past

    Sorry, can't let this one go. Whatever Jimmy's failings as a manager, on his return as an outfield player he still had the class to run a game.

    Seagulls target Chris Wood - £12m - The Sun

    This. Unless uncle Tony has put some recent winnings in. If that is the case, I think we might be after someone other than Wood.

    Greatest British Sports Stars

    Isn't it C B Fry? Of course, none of his achievements were on tv and he played football before 1992, so it doesn't count. Represented England at football and cricket, equalled world record for the long jump. And was offered the throne of Albania. Unlikely to happen to Andy Murray, Mo Farah or...

    Discrimination, positive or negative, or none at all?

    Dictating it maybe. Surely he can't actually write.

    Which 3 teams will be promoted from this years Championship?

    Boro, Fulham, Naaarch. I think Bruce will need longer to turn Villa around. They have been a struggling club for quite a while now. Same for Grayson at Sunderland.
