Leighton Moss has the largest reed bed in that part of the UK. Hugely popular reserve is that.

Incredibly, I haven't been to Lords since 1995. I used to have a Middlesex membership. I was never a supporter, but the out of town badge was so cheap that I used to spend the odd Saturday up there watching whoever was playing. Always a worthy visit.

That's pretty much it

I can't see Dunky coping with some of those forward lines, alas. Our defence is an issue. The England midfield and attack is good enough to win the tournament.

Very, very tasty. I would like to get to a few hours play if all the stars align.

I've updated it a bit. Of course, Everton have been there all the while we have been present. So three teams outside the Big 7 ever present. 15 teams relegated. It seems churlish that Crystal Palace fans have had so much beef with their club when, pound for pound, it could be argued that they...

If Ipswich Town survive their two years in the Premier League, it will be pretty much equal. As it stands, it's Albion. This is in financial terms and much depends on how Ipswich run things (as well as what Albion do). Historically, it's a silly question, obviously. We are nowhere near them.

Of course. Should Albion be relegated, and PBOBE once suggested that would be expected at some stage (to much chagrin), they would need to know that they could work on a sustained plan to return. The club model is designed in such a way to allow for this and give the opportunity to invest in...

How to cover all avenues: 1) In line to move to the Amex Stadium if all the pieces fall in place 2) Chelsea, who are weighing up whether to sack Mauricio Pochettino, have spoken to McKenna’s representatives. 3) There is also strong interest from United 4) Ipswich will hope that he decides to...

It does need a good summer window. I'm not really concerned about Palace though. Maybe it's their time. But good luck breaching that top seven to any team. It's going to get harder. I'm slouching off for cricket now though. Then remembering it's the Euros.

Midfield and front line looks the strongest I've known it. Not so sure about the defence.

Yeah, that's fair enough. There have definitely been some clangers. I guess there always will be. So the original post seems a bit odd. As regards We are Brighton, he's not going to know anymore than anyone else. Just another opinion.

What mistakes have they made here ? What is the criticism ? The criticism I have is that this thread gives no context or detail.

Yes, but read between the lines. The top seven clubs have achieved this through greater resources. Albion don't have such facility. Thus they develop a model which relies on constant change and churn but is aimed at building an upward trajectory. In crude paper terms, and from historical data...

My heart leaps with joy at your rubbish match. Mainly because no-one was killed this time.

KM ? “The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representative is to represent them in the Europa Conference League.”

I thought I'd check as I assumed someone would have got there first...

Below is a glossary of teams who have finished in the top ten of the Premier League since Brighton were promoted and how many times they have achieved it: The 'Big 6' feature in every season apart from Chelsea being absent once. From this we conclude, with full evidence, that six positions...

I've only been on a foreign holiday six times in my life. The strangest was when I had a buckie in South Africa and had to carry a gun around with me in case of potential car jacking. When my host gave it to me I was a bit in shock. Two of those were for cricket festivals in Europe.

It's officially known as a 'contamination incident'. If ever a leisure facility is closed for that reason it basically means a toddler has taken a shit in the pool. Well, I say toddler, there is no guarantee of that. When I was a kid they basically used a fish net to drag it out and it was as...
