I'm probably bereft of any Albion supporting credit nowadays. With the non-league coverage on these pages coupled with the European stuff something had to give. Unfortunately, it was my 30 year association with The Seagulls and my £400 quid season ticket in that athletics stadium. Click to continue reading...

Brighton & Hove Albion Wipe The Slade Clean

Twohundredpercent 01 November @ 06:26 PM EST

After a disappointing start to the season that sees them sitting above the League One relegation places on goal difference, Brighton & Hove Albion have parted company with their manager, Russell Slade. This in itself isn't much of a surprise, but it does provide us with a reasonable case study on the psychology of football supporters and the pressure under which clubs find themselves.

Black Panther 31 October @ 08:20 PM EST
With Southampton coming from behind at Leyton Orient today for a 2-2 draw, the Saints haven't lost a game in their last 5 in League One.

The Best Goals From The Half Way Line

The Flat Back Four 28 October @ 11:28 AM EST
Before David Beckham popularised this art, goals from the halfway line were spectacular but rare. Since then, there have been more and more outrageous goals scored by really talented footballers.

When Was The Last Time A Manager Was Sacked So Late In The Premier League Season?

EPL Talk 27 October @ 06:18 AM EST

It's been a strange but heartwarming Premier League season so far in that no manager has been sacked, at least not quite yet. But when was the last time a manager was sacked so late in the season?

According to the record books, the 2009/2010 Premier League season is on course to have the fewest managers sacked before November for several years.

The Football Managers: Poetry In Motion

EPL Talk 23 October @ 03:44 AM EST

Come Sunday, expect the television cameras to be zooming in on the faces of Rafa Benitez and Sir Alex Ferguson as they try to detect whether the pressure is getting to either manager. Attention will be paid to body language and how each manager interacts with one another, what the handshake is like and to make sure they exchange pleasantries after the final whistle is blown.

Pardew's welcome?

All Quiet In The East Stand 12 September @ 04:58 AM EST
Well, will you be booing? I personally don't know. He didn't do his job and deserved to go, but are we making him shoulder more than his fair share of blame? Either way, I'm wary of his return. His record against previous employers means no-one should expect a walkover against our fellow travellers from the Championship, Southampton. Click to continue reading...

Le Tissier Admits to Gambling on a Game

Pitch Invasion 03 September @ 01:18 PM EST

Given he's got an autobiography to sell, I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing for former England and Southampton star Matthew Le Tissier that the revelation he placed a spread bet on a game he played in hit the press today, well-buried under the Chelsea news. Le Tissier explained what he says was the only time he ever did this, betting on the time the first throw-in would come:

We were safe from the threat of relegation when we went to Wimbledon on April 17 and, as it was a televised match, there was a wide range of bets available.
