Football Banter

Anyone been to Brighton's new ground as an away fan where they bring in that teams local food and local beer/alcohol beverage.

Phil Neville scores for Everton.

I'm fully expecting a comet to smash into the Earth tomorrow.

Neville scoring... one of the signs of the End Times.

As a Fulham fan, I'm pleased we are out.

Gives us a bit more time to prepare for the Premier League and the Europa League.

Absolutely Captain - you know you're in trouble when Phil Neville finds the net.... he did it against us last season for about the first time in about 500 years

I thought Torres showed his class the other day against United. OK so a couple of slight misses.. (erm I mean total sitters.. .. but United showed their skill too.... its a fine art to be able to score two offside goals... they've got it down to a tee though..

Was down there yesterday mate.Not sure about the local food and drink thing...Didn't notice if there was?All sorts of Pies though(best selection i've ever seen!!!) Burgers,Cider,beer..The usual.Cushioned seats (Emirates style) but better! which is quality and strange at the same time lol Our end was lit up Red especially for our visit another nice touch from Brighton.The corners of both ends are empty and gives it a bit of an unfinished feel but they'll probs stick more seats in when they get promotion.So a good idea from them really.Was impressed with the place.Well worth a visit mate if your team's going there.Not a bad side they've got aswell. Noone, Buckley and Bridcutt looked good players and Vicente gives them a bit of class.They'll go up for me.

what possessed vicente to go from valencia to brighton? vicente is prem class.

Poyet probs has a few friends to do him a favour in Spain mate.Not a bad project to join for Vicente in Brighton,good manager who likes to play nice football,new stadium,premiership on the horizon...Probs on a premiership wage aswell the lad.

Vincente was one of the most promising players in Europe when he was 22, an old school left winger with what was then still a bit of an unknown quality, the moden day winger who prefers to play infield a bit more.

He's been injured for pretty much the majority of the past 5 or so years & even with him being available for free he'll still want a decent wage & signing on fee plus his greedy agent will want a new Porsche & 30f extention on his mansion & with 60+% of La liga teams in massive debt he's had to look abroad for a decent opportunity & no top club in England or Germany is gonna take a chance on him in this economic day & age hence his bargined move to Brighton, He'll have taken a pay cut (Brighton see this as a bargin) yet he'll still be on close to £20-£25k a week maybe even £30k given the 50% tax rate so he'll see this as a good (Bargin) deal given he's in a second tier albeit one thats better than most top divisions.

I don't see him getting a move to a Premier League team if he does well between now & January/End of the season unless it's to someone like Bolton or Blackburn (Persuaded by a better wage & Míchel Salgado???

Would of loved to have gone next month but the tits have moved KO to 1730 due to an university open day, so due to a lack of car parking, yep that's right a lack of car parking! They move it, so there's no trains home

If Brighton are so bloody great, how come the guy whose goals got them up last season decided to sod off at the end of his contract and join us

Five days to go .....
