Early yet but lets move on... I'm thinking: Verbruggen Hinshelwood, Dunk, Baleba, Estupinan Gomez, Ayari Minteh, Joao Pedro, Mitoma Welbeck

Nottingham, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace. In one week. As far as challenges go, it doesn't get much tougher than that. Throw in a bit of Fulham and the ultimate nightmare would be complete. All these teams have a tendency to make things very nasty for us (and for teams similar to ours). We...

Anyone got some good stuff? Frequently get to hear about the best nordic music when reading on Reddit etc, and I'm thinking since there's a lot of music heads here... maybe you got something for me. As a Sweden I obviously know A LOT of good Swedish stuff but from the others... dunno. But I'll...

Today I sold my conserved human brain - some old education stuff - for ca £200. Probably not the best deal I've ever done but one of the most difficult. For some reason, Facebook seems to have a negative attitude towards people who sell human remains. Probably the coolest "old shite"-stuff I've...

Ghanian (Ghanese? Whatever) media reports that Brighton, in competition with some other English clubs, want to sign 24-year-old left-footed CB Terry Yegbe. He has only played one season in Sweden after lurking in the backwaters that is Finnish football, and did very well, not least in the...

According to good media sources in the Netherlands, Brighton are interested in attacking midfielder (!) Sem Steijn. He is 23 years old, plays for FC Twente in the Eredivisie and so far this season scored 18 league goals, and scored 17 last year. Looks like a very Frank Lampard type player.

I need to vent somewhere and its going to have to be here. Sorry folks. Well... this such a weird thing to post on a British football (well) forum with a bunch of people I've never met, but then that goes for a lot of things I post here. If I post something on Facebook, too many people I know...

I'm in no shape or form "manager out!!!" and won't be as long as we win a game in January (if we don't it might be an unsurmountable challenge for even the best of managers if he's young and inexperienced, but lets worry about that another day). I do have questions however and I guess others do...

Just struck me a few moments ago, when contemplating about the "archetypes" of managers we've had. Potter and De Zerbi were very distinctly different and appealed to different sorts of people and whatnot. I started to think of a little list of their personality traits and how they differ and so...

Another fun subject... Arguably we're the worst in the PL in this category now. Getting annoyed by it though. Our guys throw themselves to the ground over nothing, the sturdy opponent takes the ball and our lad spends time and energy bemoaning that the ref didn't buy his antics. "Dark arts"...

Not a rumour thats in the media yet I think but I'm hearing we're very interested in this 17-year-old Finnish midfielder. Played a lot last season when KUPS won the league and is considered a mainly defensive midfielder. Swedish clubs have been interested, and its through that I've heard that...

18-year-old Ivorian winger who spent the last season in Hammarby. There's been a couple of loose links between him and Brighton (and various other clubs) through the last few months. But I'm hearing now we're quite hot on him and even sent someone to watch him, which is (I believe) not...

I've accidently managed to get on the same train as a middle-aged humming man several times the last month and quite quickly found myself a new hopefully lifelong object of hatred: people who hum or whistle. Everyone is sitting nice and calmly on the train, waiting quietly for either winter or...

Well?

Apparently Brighton are one of a number of clubs interested in 23-year-old striker Igor Julio, who yesterday made his debut and first goal for Brazil. Currently playing for Botafogo after spending four years with Shabab Al-Ahli in UAE. And... thats it.

The "problem with the high line" has been mentioned a lot. The core of this "problem", bit like the "problem of fannying around at the back" that emerged five years ago, is that Fabian Hurzeler is a brave coach and football fans are anxious cowards. But its time to accept it. People have been...

When Facebook and Reddit doesn't give a lot... well, where do you go? One of my roomies inherited a bunch of Peruvian stuff from his grandpa. We think about going to some auction service but can't be arsed. I need to know how to determine if this 800 year old thingie is real or not and what...

I randomly searched some culture grants in Sweden last summer, applying with various more or less creative ideas. Suddenly found myself in a position where I'm supposed to record and produce 8 podcast episodes interviewing "nerds", or more specifically "someone among the most knowledgeble on a...

Sima starting for Brest, Scherpen for Sturm Graz. Yalcouye on the Graz bench. Assume everyone else is also going to watch this so might as well get its own thread.

Steele 5 - he was a couple of minutes away from a significantly higher rating as he had very little help from the defense and had to deal with a million crosses and did it well. That mistake, the nature of it, is unacceptable however. Hinshelwood 7 - a solid performance. A little too far from...
