Phil and Gav, the time has come to introduce some kind of filtering mechanism to this forum based on post votes. 4 divisions of people based on popularity, reason, good humour, common sense and intellect or insight.
Some might call it elitist but id call it good for mental health. I think I’d rather be in a smaller pool of like minded, sensible folk and fear relegation if I didn’t maintain a standard than this sea of noise and nonsense.
The last 2-weeks really have been quite torturous on here and I’m all up for looking for ways to improve this experience. Hopefully it’d put some checks and balances in place and make people think twice before posting. |

Thread | Be the light
at 23:25 23 May 2024
Found this anon poem earlier. How apt.
“In times of trouble, uncertainty reigns,
Simple words, deflate bloated shame.
While in darkness, there is light,
Shake off a cabal’s glutenous might.
A virulent disease thrust upon,
Fk that sour Dom Perignon.
Become greater, respect is more,
Adoration everything, ambition’s whore.
Greatness lies in breaking the mould,
Unite in a belief, greater once told.”
Poetry might be way beyond some, but it’s a far better read than Jacob Steinberg’s jour-no-lis-am. |

Thread | ITK on KM and Brighton
at 12:22 21 May 2024
“He's not coming, his Uncle, a United fan, was dining in The Goldstone 1901 East on Sunday. He's extremely flattered by the link but has built up an amazing relationship with the Ipswich owners.
Loyalty is a huge part of his Footballing DNA, in addition to this Sir Alex is one of his biggest admirers, so he will go about his business and further honing his craft in Suffolk but we could see the ultimate move a few years down the line. (If Fergie is still with us)
Part of me hopes his Uncle was throwing out a red herring but he seemed genuine”.
Post from a reputable member on a Brighton forum. Take it as you will but it confirms what most sane people knew all along…. |

I’ll take another one Tuesday night too. Not sure we looked any sharper than Hull for all that time off but good to have Hirst and Burns back. It’ll be interesting to see how those fatigue levels fair on Tuesday. All the pressure would have been off had it not been for some poor keeping tonight. Oh well. |

Thread | Is the 2-week break a positive or negative?
at 06:29 11 Apr 2024
We’ve looked a bit jaded in large spells recently. Passes look heavy and lethargic, the runs from some look a bit laboured and the sharpness playing out from the back has looked a bit precarious. So, maybe a break is well timed. Having said that, we’ll likely be third and playing catch-up. Positive or negative? |

Thread | The importance of a good number two…
at 07:07 24 Mar 2024
In recent history it’s been easy to point the finger at notable gaps with failing managers who haven’t been able to replicate their past glory.
Under Lambert, Culverhouse was cited as being the missing link, the brain behind Lambert’s success. Under Cook, many pointed to the absence of Richardson as a clear sign and rationale for us stuttering and misfiring. And what of the others in recent history? Doig, Hutchings, Connor, the bloke who followed Keane around whose name I can’t remember?
KM gets all the praise for our success and deserves to bask in the glory but what of Pert? How significant is he behind the scenes? What’s the word from inside the club, does anyone know? Whenever him and KM huddle around the iPad or whenever we’re trailing at half-time, we regroup and turn games around, which gives me confidence he’s a valuable asset and his input is a key part of the success especially given his interesting background in Europe and Latin America.
Thoughts? |

Thread | Which player had the most successful transfer to the prem?
at 05:49 29 Feb 2024
With rumours circulating on Davis, my immediate reaction is that hardly any players who have left us to join prem teams have done that well - success being subjective.
Who has been the most successful? Mings? Cressswell? Dyer? Lots have never achieved their full potential and plenty probably shouldn’t have been signed but who has done well irrespective of financial gain? |
