So happy to announce that my book on the history of the #BHAFC matchday programme, will be published at the end of November. The result of a nearly 15-year labour of love, it will be the perfect addition to any coffee table! Keep checking back here for details on how to buy!

If a player stops during their run-up to take a penalty, the keeper should be allowed to be in front of the line.

Can we get something straight? Brighton and Hove Albion have not ‘slapped a £115 price-tag’ on Carlos Baleba. It’s not the way they do transfer business. And anyway, I think Baleba should aim higher than Manchester United.

It's still possible for Stormzy to do the right thing. Cancel the deal and stand with Palestine. Leaving that much money on the table isn't easy, but he's already a multi-millionaire and an artist's credibility is worth far more than whatever McDonald's is willing to pay for it

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest. Two tier justice indeed.

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

It’s all very well Liverpool having players attacking the ball from beyond the far post at corners, but if Trent can’t get the ball past the first defender then what’s the point?

Hello @bhasc1.bsky.social. On behalf of our family, I just want to thank you for the lovely message and card you sent following John’s passing. He was very proud of what your good natured campaign achieved and to see your new home. Here’s a video we did in 2010 when he saw Falmer being built.

Quite incredible that Kaoru Mitoma’s goal at Bournemouth isn’t on the MOTD shortlist for November goal of the month. Joao Pedro’s assist was such a work of art that it should be in the National Gallery.

Having bought the US election, Musk now wants to buy ours. This ketamine-infused menace thinks global domination is his to buy. And Farage is grasping for his money.These repulsive men weaponise prejudice for power. They feed off ignorance, resentment and inadequacy. If they succeed, we have failed.
From The Sunday Times:

Will Elon Musk give Nigel Farage $100m to make him PM? 

The Tesla boss who used his immense fortune to help Donald Trump’s campaign is turning his attention to Britain.

Labour and Tory supporters will hope this is fake news. 

Elon Musk has already declared war on Keir Starmer and last week suggested that Nigel Farage’s Reform party would be the next government.  This weekend, leading businessmen and Conservative Party officials believe there is a credible prospect that Musk is preparing to give $100 million to Farage as a “f*** you Starmer payment” with a view to transforming British politics.

You couldn't make it u...oh yes you can. The autograph of Gianni Infantino, as it appears engraved on the new Club World Cup trophy, is now available as a "digital asset" from FIFA. As Chaled explains, "the equivalent value is a right to purchase tickets (not: tickets) for the Club World Cup".

John Prescott has died at the age of 86. He served as Deputy PM under Tony Blair and was a football fan that supported Brighton's ambition to build a stadium at Falmer. He was a supporter of Hull City and was at Withdean when Albion won 2-0 thanks to goals from Charlie Oatway and Seb Carole. #bhafc

You may have noticed that I offered the view that the football is the main thing on Match of the Day and that the identity of the presenter doesn’t matter to me. A few people suggested that the punditry makes a positive difference. Really?
