    [Football] Spurs, Man United (and Chelsea)

    Have all helped raise the spirits a bit this weekend right? I know we did a classic us….but this lot were right behind us. Watching these teams self destruct each week has made the season a whole lot better.

    [Football] Russell Martin

    Great podcast interview with Russell released today, on Gary Linekers “The rest is football”. Very insightful about his early years growing up in Brighton, his violent upbringing, not getting into the Brighton school teams. Playing for Scotland despite being Brighton born and bred. Talked a lot...

    [Football] Is there now a relegation battle after all?

    After Ipswich’s shock winner last night, and the fact they play Wolves at the weekend, another win and they could only be 6 points apart. Ipswich have got: Wolves, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, Leicester, West Ham Wolves have got: Ipswich, Spurs, Man United, Leicester...

    [Albion] Milner

    Will he play again this season before his contract is up? Lots of previous rumours about him becoming a coach at Liverpool, and he’s worked through his badges previously. Could he stay on for us in a coaching role? He’s given a lengthy service to the PL and seems like a great asset and mentor.

    [Misc] Personalised Number Plates

    I see fewer of them around these days. Are they still a thing that people want or think looks good?

    [Misc] Favourite topics for small talk

    I find myself leading with “isn’t it nice now it’s lighter in the evenings” This one can go on for at least a month. “Parking” is demoted into second topic for now.

    [Football] Best PL Manager this season?

    Fab aside…. Moyes certainly knows how to get the best out of Everton - the players and the back room. Back to being a threat to play against. Plus he’s so PL experienced. Nuno probably deserves manager of the season? Forest have really landed on their feet this season and if they get a CL...

    [Travel] Motorway driving

    For the last two evenings there has been a closure on the M23 S on the final junction. I see this frequently but it was more obvious the last two evenings - the sign on the gantry says 60, the next says 50 and the next is 40. After that there are red crosses for all closed lanes, meaning the...

    [Football] Players available this summer - would we?

    There’s a lot of players looking for new clubs in the summer, are there any we’d be keen on? Not withstanding Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar There’s: Calvert Lewin, Tyrick Mitchell, Angel Gomes, Olivier Boscagli, Jonathan David, Kenny Tete, Thomas Partey…to name a few options knocking around, as...

    [Football] Which managers won’t make it to next season at their current clubs?

    I reckon Fab will happily stay on for us, unless he is lured away… Spurs Man United West Ham (?) Presumably will all be on the hunt for new managers? But who will take these basket cases on? Moyes is doing well at Everton, so I’m guessing he’ll stay where he is? Ivan Juric presumably will...

    [Brighton] Brighton Station memories

    40 years ago today! Who remembers these departure boards at Brighton station? I have a fond memory of the clacking noise made by these and the black and white departures boards that followed these, when they changed.

    [Football] Would you rather be consistently near bottom of the PL or near the top of Championship every season?

    A pundit was suggesting that most fans would prefer to be at the top end of the Championship in winning ways, rather than suffering defeat after defeat in the PL. Talking about Leicester, Burnley and Southampton etc and that it’s a relief to get relegated, if you can guarantee that you don’t...

    [Football] Premier League this season

    So far an interesting season being that the winner and the relegation spots are pretty much decided and have been for a while…and the mid table is actually the most interesting part as so many are in contention for 6th place. For Liverpool to be so far out in front, whilst not playing the best...

    [Football] Premier League vs Championship

    The second season in a row where the newly promoted will all go back down. Meanwhile, Sheffield United who only did a fraction better than Southampton have done, are a solid second and likely to go back up. The Premier League have been a closed shop for a good while now, and teams like...

    [Misc] Are you pro or anti AI?

    I saw the interesting story about Daisy the AI granny that has been trained to take scam calls. She spends ages wasting their time by being cooperative and compliant but taking her time understanding what scammers want her to do and being really annoying and wanting a nice long chat at the same...

    [Football] How much did you pay for your first game?

    How much did you pay (roughly) for your first football game? Mine was a couple of quid, from the little portakabin ticket office at the Goldstone, as a child. I saw a video on social media of some kids paying 25p to enter Stamford Bridge in the 70s. I was wondering if eventually football will...

    Please share your recent little wins - in need of a little positivity this Tuesday :) I got 10% off a digital radio (a gift for someone who wanted one) in Robert Dyas because a small corner of the outer box was ripped, they offered this. I got a free pastry gifted by the cashier in Waitrose...

    [Food] Best places to eat Breakfast in Sussex

    Billies cafe has to be one of them. Honest plate of cooked breakfast which fills you up for hours. Reasonable price. The Hashes are amazing too. I like avocado, houmous and Halloumi but for me they have no place in a cooked breakfast plate. Baked beans on the plate as opposed to a tiny ramekin...
