Proper predictable garbage, looked at the side before kick off and knew we wouldn’t score for love nor money. Then you look at the defence, Sonne and Ekdal were so far out of their depth it was frightening but I could’ve told you that before a ball was kicked. I was asking where the right sided cen...

Todmorden’s a great place. Some great bars there, a beautiful park, transport links to Manchester/Leeds.

Back in the early 90s I was parking up at work at the same time as another car which had a kit hanging in the back window as had mine. I was looking to see which club it was and the other driver spotted me looking and said it’s Oldham, a club much bigger than yours who we would never get the chance...

Manchester City or Liverpool at home.
Give our fringe a run out and exit.
The worst situation is that we draw the weakest team, progress and are penalised by a schedule that doesn’t affect Leeds or Sheffield.

Millwall at home on the 3rd May is our last game of the season.
Is there any chance it could be moved ? (have I imagined that all championship games kick off on the Sunday at 2pm?).
Just trying to work out travel/accommodation plans.
Help gratefully received.

So far this evening; 1 “I don’t want him (Hannibal) to play for the club again.” 2 Speculation whether “Mr Negativity” (Parker) would rather be in the record books as the team conceding the lowest goals tally than making a genuine attempt to win promotion. 3 Trafford nearly cost us the game late on....

I’ve no issue at all with Kompany going, particularly with a decent wedge of compensation. What I have a problem with is just how much control he was allowed by Pace. That naturally raises concerns for the next manager, if scouting and recruitment are back to square one, never mind the raft of play...

Bellamy was part of a leadership group that was responsible for one of the worst seasons in our history. On that basis alone he shouldn’t be anywhere near an interview. On a wider point we are the 19th most successful club in the country, have a young, talented squad, a loyal fan base and a (potenti...

I don't listen to it anymore. Absolutely terrible podcast. Just a group miserable blokes who like the sound of their own voice. Nothing positive to say and really depressing. I assume this episode might have been a little bit more upbeat though as it was about the potential departure of VK. Unfortu...

Appalling abuse directed towards Jay from a large section of the Brighton support.
Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing years ago chants calling Jay a “racist *******” were audible even in the JM Stand.
Totally and unacceptable behaviour!

Following your Liverpool debrief; Agree with the panellists that the second half was very positive. It did mirror the Fulham game with Taylor, Odobert, Berge and the much improving Trafford our stand out players. Poor from Tressor, largely anonymous and I think you’ve over egged the pudding concerni...

Interesting point made by (I think) Ightenhill Claret. He likened ALK’s policy to “Ground Zero.” I think he actually meant Year Zero. I said the same to my son at the start of last season that it felt like we were in the grip of a Khmer Rouge takeover, associated propaganda and the sweeping away of ...

I thought it summed our club up to be honest, to announce the team during the short time he was walking across the pitch was definitely not necessary and looked almost deliberate to me. It’s been the narrative for the past 18 months Tony. From the “ A New Era” graphics on the scoreboard v Luton, th...

Here we go again. Crouch was here 4 months as a replacement to Vokes as backup. Bardsley was a backup and did fine. Lennon was a backup and did okay.
