Lots of chit chat about unrest, FH having lost the dressing room, and so on. Is this just received wisdom by virtue of being spouted so much on here? Or is there an actual something backing up these comments? All those feeling this way - please could you provide the source of whatever it is...

Everton - 1 shot on target (penalty) Man Utd - 1 shot on target (penalty) Ipswich - 3 shots on target Norwich - 1 shot on target That must surely be some sort of record? It would imply that we are limiting opponents to speculative and pointless shots. Or just that they are appallingly bad a...

I found this very interesting. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/dec/19/humphreys-world-how-the-samuel-smith-beer-baron-built-britains-strangest-pub-chain

With the possibility of being second in the Premier League for an evening at least, and after all the European fun - I was thinking back to the time when we won promotion, and the mixed feelings held by a decent number of fans that the journey was better than the destination / we'd just be...

Home - Man City, Man United, Tottenham - 3 wins, 9 points out of 9 Away - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool - 1 point out of 9, a close defeat, and a thrashing Fortress Amex. You hear clubs saying all the time how difficult it is to play at the Amex. Come to Amex, attack - and you lose. Any...

We scored from a corner! No new injuries.

I'm not a huge social media follower - but thanks to NSC even I was aware of Caicedo and MacAllister when they were on loans etc, and waiting to break through here. But - who are we talking about next? Who will be the next 'cheap buy makes good'? I'm not counting Ferguson / Enciso and so on -...

Apologies if already a thread on this - PGMOL have announced some changes in approach for this season. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jul/28/premier-league-referees-to-add-on-time-lost-for-goal-celebrations-this-season...

BBC website Three games in which to break this record as well. I must admit it hadn't struck me that we were scoring so many own goals. Any thoughts as to why?

There's been quite a few posts with links to match reviews, and snippets from them. Personally, one of my favourites was from the Telegraph following the Everton game in January, when they said: "Lampard stood pensive on the touchline as Brighton & Hove Albion reduced his side to training...

Mrs Bodian showed me an email on her phone this evening that she thought was spam and asked me how to mark it as such. I couldn't help but notice that further down her inbox was one from 'Seagulls Direct' starting 'Dear Mrs Bodian...' Now, I can't imagine she is buying something for herself...

No Veltman, No Welbeck - includes Duffy though.... How do they calculate this?

One for the stattos out there. When was the last time we did the double at the first possible opportunity? That is - at the very beginning of the second round of fixtures? (I know we haven't completed the first round yet - but basically, Brentford are the first team we have played twice).

Threads on other players (Connolly, etc) mention MacAllister and chat about him a bit. Surely deserves a thread on why he's not playing more often? Totally baffles me; I know he's not always at the top of his game, no-one is - but he always seems positive, combative, and generally passes...

My wife was stopped by the Police today for contravening a no right turn sign (it's a relatively new thing - been there since September relating to some large scale roadworks, first time we've been there since). She had to show her licence and was cautioned 'anything you may say, etc' - and the...
