Have I missed the chat about the stories surrounding James Milner saying the real reason for his very long lay off was nerve damage sustained during an operation? I wonder if the club were involved in a medical negligence claim or similar.
Don Revie : “You criticise my teams and tactics, but how many caps did you win, Brian?
Brian Glanville: “Don, you don’t need to be a murderer to play Macbeth”
As a teenager I used to work at WH Smith in the station in its previous iteration as a walk-in shop close to where we now queue for Falmer trains. We had a stock room under platform 8 from where I would go and collect drinks and sweets. The manager was a very nervous man named Tony Llewellyn who...
Last summer I dropped £90 on some nice new size 12 black Barbour Chelsea boots at John Lewis. They’re by no means my only pair of semi-smart shoes but I wear them pretty regularly. I’m fairly tall and heavy but not unusually so.
But only MONTHS LATER they’ve fallen apart. The stitching below...

Because a lot of Sussex stuff gets posted out to members on paper and never goes online:
Operating losses have widened from £217k in 2023 to £388k last year. This seems to be down largely to a fall in rents and commercial income. The club extended its overdraft facility in October. However all...
Fabian in his post match int has said “trust the process” three times. He has also said that “the fans don’t overreact” to a big defeat or to a big win 😅😅😅😅
I sent a polite but angry Fab Out (or at least, please justify Fab In) email to PBOBE just as the seventh goal went in. To be fair to him he replied 45 minutes later
"I think it’s better to look at the club’s progress in eight seasons in the Premier League rather than one very disappointing...
