From my time watching the Albion both Joao Pedro and Tomer Hemed are hands down the best two penalty takers at the club. though l find it impossible to choose between them Prior to that Muzza and Bobby Z were pretty successful, and the only two others who seemed to score more than they missed...

Richard Osman, (he who can do no wrong, apart from supporting Fulham), revealed on House of Games last night, that he takes a size 14 shoe. Not surprising l guess for a man mountain of 6' 7"" tall. Coincidentally my shoe size is also 14, and l am finding it more and more difficult to find a...

Well should be? Thread instigated by the Should the United States Give Back the Statue of Liberty discussion . . . obviously. In terms of the marbles, it's a resounding YES from me by the way.

Some of you l'll wager will already be aware of this, but my local bus route announced an "improved" timetable on 1st September. Rather than having an easy to understand hourly timetable, Monday to Saturday daytime, from Brighton to Horsham and vice versa, Stagecoach have decided to over...

Would be sure to get us back into Europe, in fact it would be nigh on impossible for anyone to dislodge us. What do you think?

In such a sorry state now, l used to enjoy walking through it after getting off my bus at Churchill Square, but nowadays it is totally devoid of retail units with all the shops boarded up. Once home to my fave bakers in Brighton, Forfar's, and a good value cafe called the Arcadia, amongst...

Finally, after our original application was deferred at their October meeting, the HDC Planning Committee voted by 15 votes to 4 last night, to approve the application for our new 3G artificial pitch. The great majority of the cost is being funded by a Football Federation grant, but we still...

It's the official congregating point and drinking venue exclusively for AEK fans tomorrow apparantly, open for them from 12pm, with coaches departing direct from there to the Amex from 5.45. Strictly away fans only with the whole thing being policed by officers from Sussex, and from Athens too.

Well, aren't you?

Well he may have holidayed there? Eric Sykes, the brilliant late comedian and comedy writer that is. Probably unknown to anyone south of 60 years old. A very funny man, and one of my heroes from back in the day.

Not too well would be my reply, although with only four matches played l'm aware it's still very early days. l fancy though that it will take both of them a while to blend i to their new surroundings and different systems.

Well to a neighbouring village anyway, Twineham. He is having a house built, and a friend who will be his neighbour and is on the Parish Council has seen the plans. All very futuristic apparantly, lovely big swimming pool. I'll stand him a drink if he wanders down to the local pub.

Ok so l know the draw for the Europa League isn't until, 1st September, but l'm wondering if we know the dates of the group games yet? I understand that games will be played on a Thursday evening, but l'm keen to know which Thursdays. Our home fixture with Fulham has been put back by a day to...

I'll stert with a couple of our own . . . Nathan Jones, seemingly on to a good thing when head coach at Saturday's opponents Luton, a role that seemed to suit him well, before leaving them in the lurch twice, once for Stoke City, and then for Southampton. Forgiven the 1st time he left, but...

Do they really expect to do business, (outside Saudi Arabia), for that massively inflated figure. Madness.

I'm going out on a limb here . . . Over the last few weeks l've caught a few episodes of the infamous Alf Garnett saga from the 1960's and 70's. Admittedly riddled with all kinds of racist and sexist jokes, and very much of it's time, l do have to admit to finding some scenes from the sitcom...

Now, l just love a Piglets pie me, but last night l just fancied going a little bit left field and trying something a little bit different, the Piglet's guest vegan offering, the Bombay Potato. Wandering over to one of the catering kiosks in the West Lower l requested one, Wot? replied the...

Did anyone else notice this pair of youngsters at the Amex pre-match on Sunday? They are two 9 year old friends from Manchester, (Hughie is suffereing from leukemia), who are fundraising for the Royal Marsden Childrens Hospital, by running 1km around every EPL and EFL pitch in the country. The...

That's my big worry really, on the pitch this afternoon l mean. Let's face it, Manure's players have played in these high profile, all or nothing matches much often, they are well used to dealing with the incredible pressure games like this can bring. Four Wembley finals and we still haven't...

I'll make a start with the goalkeeper, Mark Beeney, sold to Leeds for next to nothing in 1993 due to our severe financial plight at the time. Many others players of course have suffered the same fate over the years. Let's have a few names, can we form a team?
