Judging by the clock, anybody replying to this will be an insomniac, shift worker or somebody who prefers the night to day. But if you want to introduce anybody to classical music, this isn't a bad piece to start. And if you do listen to this, please tell me if you don't feel uplifted and better...
To offset a feeling of the best club to support becoming a brand, and the steely fingers of a new corporation laying a foundation that I personally believe will eventually destroy us, it's time for the away day happiness.
After months of negotiation it is our choice of Reading in September...
Apologies if you are one of the 4 million to view this, but I never remember Jeffrey Archer being made to dance. And we thought the last few months were a strange time.

We all know our universal song, and some know the lyrics. As an away fan more than home, you feel part of something when you leave Elland Road and my Leeds friends were completely blown away that we never sang about dustbins and jobs, but a small team in Croydon. And as I sauntered down the...
From 1976 and using sketchy maths based on the below, I think it's about 10th in DIV 3 (or Div 1 as is). Crisis what crisis. This is our new golden period.

As a fan, transpose the lyrics of this song into how you feel know. Then remember moments you've felt supporting Brighton in the last 30 years........
Then as a steward, (of which a lot of you are football fans), please, realise why we may not.
And to away support, which we especially need...
Is anybody in a position to post the best train deals for away fans during the coming season? In previous years it seems a lottery to find the best tickets to travel. Middlesbrough was more than bizarre in that we had bought tickets early and then in dismay watched the price reduce every day...
Yes it's late and with a day off tomorrow I can be tired and emotional. But after watching the Wootton Basset tribute, where the mayor of the said town nails the most important speech he will ever have to give, I found this. If you want to watch it then please do. Remember that civilians will...
Can anybody think of a better documentary series?
I would ask anybody with kids interested in history to let them watch this. And as a tie in, a Brighton resident is absolutely superb as narrator. Never seen, just heard, but a class apart.
Not the greatest of times and expectation of something happening today, something to stop speculation, didn't. So on a cheery grimace smile way, four away grounds to look forward to and the planning starts Wednesday. And if you want to grimace further, try this...
Damn fine You Tube post. We know we are safe from relegation and a few minutes later ..........The pretty frightening QPR fan looks to the Man City fans and is as happy for his own team as he for them (@ 1.51). Anybody had that happy for another team moment. Quick thought, AFC Wimbledon, because...
Gus Poyet has been approached by the England selectors to explain why cricket is being starved of conversation on a football fan site. Gus, free to speak to our reporter was dumbfounded by constant speculation that he would be signing for Northamptonshire. When asked about the Ashes he became...
At a similar time only a few months ago I shut the door and headed to the tube and on to St Pancras for a long awaited away day.
I sat in the most beautiful resurrected station I'd ever seen and even Kings Cross was looking a damn sight better. I smiled when I thought how the old days of...
As much as I have a general loathing for politicians and although Michael Gove fits the bill quite beautifully, I have to applaud his response to the hostile audience of headmasters. I can speak from experience. So whereas private sector versus public sector is bad enough, if you work 37 weeks a...
After counting too many chickens at 7.44 on Monday, I was envisaging how it would be to walk into the Emirates, Old Trafford etc as an equal, rather than a plucky team from the south coast, "their cup final" patronising banality. Over years of travelling to the far flung corners of the league...
'I look at you, and I smile, but sometimes I not smile, we work hard, but everybody work hard. I take you to a place where you can shine, you shine stadium shines, You hear stories of Liverpool in a place near Greece, 3 - 0 down and win, they win. I look at you, we have a song, our fans sing...
