I'm not normally one for football facts but while sitting in a garage waiting area today I flicked through a book and saw a story about BHA. Evidently on Christmas day 1940 Brighton played Norwich. They travelled with only 5 players and made up the numbers with Norwich reserves and spectators...

The sacking of allardyce has been almost certainly been confirmed. BBC Sport - Sam Allardyces job as West Ham boss is safe - Karren Brady

Following the Ipswich v Middlesbrough draw Tony Mowbray said "We came to counter-attack. Ipswich had won five on the bounce at home so we didn't come here to be over-expansive. We've won a lot of games on the road by trying to do that, being solid and not giving many goals away". I think a lot...

Thank you for finding the most officious, jobworths stewards to control the Brighton supporters at Elland Road. Even the police officers looked embarrassed. Sorry your 'winnable' game went down the pan!! :lol:

Given the choice of Brighton or Ipswich which would you choose? A club on the up with Gus or a club struggling to stay away from relegation and a manager one lose away from being sacked?

Hows good does it feel to break the 40 point barrier. 50 points and the first objective for the season doesn't seem that far away now. Am I being pessimistic?

Do referees ever get thrown out of grounds after a match or are they always treated to hot pies and a pint after their shower?

The Argus excelled yesterday with their front page exclusive - McDonalds serve a woman the wrong type of burger and apologise for the mistake. Is that really front page news? Suggestions for weekend headlines?

Do you think Gus's idea of not dipping into the loan market has played against us? It seems as though every other club are packing premiership players into their squads and even when we replay the likes of Doncaster we will be playing 'Premier seconds United'. Cardiff reached the play offs...

Isn't this the same as the Poyet diet - only not as good. BBC - Paul Fletcher: The Adkins diet gets Saints in shape

This is not a question merely an observation. If the club are going to allow stewards to direct traffic in the dark like they were last night, without providing proper reflective clothing that includes reflective strips on the arms, somebody is going to get hurt. Reflective waist coats with...

With the closure of 606 will the Brighton prediction league be running this season and if so where can it be found? Anybody know?

I'm thinking about walking from the Goldstone to the Amex via Withdean for the 1st home game to make it and extra, extra special day. I know others are thinking about doing the same but I haven't heard any plans. It's just over 7 miles so it will take appox 2 1/2 hours to walk. Add in some...

Just read this on the BBC website. Isn't this a bit premature? I wasn't aware that Pompey even had 11 1st team players let alone a squad yet! BBC Sport - New signing David Norris targets Portsmouth promotion

I see the club have been true to their word and left an area at the back of the north stand with no seats for standing. I didn't think they were allowed to do that.

I see Chris Holroyd has gone. No surprise there really. Axed Albion striker holds no grudge From The Argus)

We did a dry run (it was quite wet actually) to Falmer today to see how easy it will be to get there on match days. Took the train from Portslade (£2.30 return with a rail card) and twenty minutes later, having changed at Brighton we were standing next to the Amex. From there we decided to try...

Saw this in the paper today; According to the aptly named Frances Crook, head of the Howard League for Penal Reform, people who break the law should no longer be branded offenders. She says "Someone who commits an offence is not an offender, they are somebody who has done something".

Am I just being greedy? I want the atmosphere of the North Stand (Falmer) and a view of the pitch nearer the halfway line. Where should we go to sing and have a better view? I know that everybody SHOULD sing and support the team but it will be difficult if you find yourself sitting with those...

Just looked on the Falmer webcam. It looks like they have started tarmacking the playing surface. what are they up to? Has anybody told TB yet?
