The Swan was absolutely dead again tonight. I think The Terrace is a great addition but I really hope it doesn’t destroy the usual football pubs’ trade. Because it is massively affecting them at the moment.

I don't think I can bring myself to vote. Sorry.

Well he isn't getting enough minutes, is he? And the only way you get match fit is by getting minutes. So there must be a reason. I have no idea why Pedro got dropped, but there could be any number of reasons. Maybe his 'couldn't be bothered' demeanour was down to fatigue or a niggle that was...

It was one example. Look at Kane and Bellingham in the Euros last year. Neither of them were 100% fit, you could see they weren't, but they still played on. Kane could barely run. And I really can't believe they weren't their usual selves because they couldn't be arsed to run around properly.

Usually, yes. But stating them as facts is a mistake.

So you genuinely believe that a 20 year old footballer who burst on to the scene, had a taste of success and then got injured and has struggled since, and was then given a chance to get his career going again at a big club who get 60,000+ attendances just can't really be bothered to put the...

Hard to maintain intensity guys, when stuck stationary in traffic, I guess.

I think it's silly to judge players on this kind of thing without knowing what is going on behind the scenes. Remember when the accepted knowledge of Albion fans at Withdean was that Murray only tried in the last year of his contract, as before that he just jogged around looking disinterested...

I agree. And I still maintain that he should have gone on loan when he first broke into the squad. I said so at the time, and then changed my mind when he scored a few goals for us, but looking back now I was right. He is STILL only 20, he should be looking to break into our first team next...

Surely FH covered this in his pre game presser?

So is it OK between the Uni and Lewes, for those of us lucky enough to not need to travel West?

Is the Amex Apartheid still in place for the beambacks? I certainly hope so.

Sorry but I think that is nonsense. If you have had no inheritance or financial help and have rented since you moved out of your parents home, how long do you think it takes to save £50K? Remembering that you are highly unlikely to have been earning £100K all that time. There is a career /...

It's very true. So you save £50K and get a £500K house in the south east, which is a nice enough house in some areas and a pretty average one in others. This scenario would put you in the top 2-3% of earners in the area, yet your house worth is only in the top 20%. Yet there are many in the...

200 Uni spaces and 20 Bridge ones available now.

As someone on the other side of the fence running a recruitment company, I can tell you that the recruitment market has been pretty dreadful since the end of 2022. 2023 was unbelievably bad, with companies laying people off all over the place and hardly anybody was hiring. Which obviously meant...

Nice. Not enough of it about these days. Just weird sort of dancing / posturing instead. Nowhere near as fun to watch.

Yep. And the fans that suggest it is a bad way of deciding a game are usually the ones that have just lost by one. I remember when England went out on pens to the Germans in the 1990 semi final our press getting all shitty about it and claiming it was an unfair way to decide a game, because it...

You genuinely don't think it will reappear when we dare to lose a couple of games in a row?

I honestly cannot believe that after all these years, and all the absolutely conclusive evidence, that people still think penalties is a lottery. It is absolutely nothing of the kind. There was an article in the Athletic a couple of weeks ago about Pedro's penalty taking, with Glenn Murray...
