West Ham United 0 Brighton 3

The wiseacres say that to stay up Brighton must win the necessary points at home. Our away form – one point, one goal – has been unconvincing but I had a good feeling prior to the West Ham match last night after a large gin and tonic (this column is sponsored by Hendricks and Fevertree) [...]

A day at Hove Cricket Ground

Going along the seafront on my way to Hove, I saw the Labour delegates and supporters walking to the Conference Centre with a purposeful air and gait as if they represent now the party of power. I expected loonies and activists but many were in suits and being responsible in and for government [...]

Brighton 1 Newcastle 0

After grinding out this win, Brighton have 7 points and need another 31 to survive. Home form should do it as we are capable of beating Huddersfield, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Swansea, Watford, Stoke, West Ham, Leicester, Burnley,  at home and picking up the odd point on our travels. All the [...]

Evaluating the day

I do not know how it is for you 39 readers but I like to take account of the day before turning  in, evaluating the high and low spots. Yesterday was very much a full on day of 3 meetings, 2 at banks and one at Sussex CCC as  a committee member of a fund-raising arm of the cricket club. However [...]

An Evening at the Komedia for Bob Booker and Mark McGhee

I have learned from Daffers that if you get off to a bad start at any event it’s hard to recover and this is what happened at the Komedia Brighton last night where the Albion Roar – a media duet of Brighton HAFC football fans – were hosting the former managerial team Mark McGhee [...]

Sussex win – but only just

Here are two assumptions: 1) I was the only person amongst our readership to appreciate the exciting finish to Sussex CCC’s Championship match at Glamorgan where a tie, win or defeat were all possible on the last final ball bowled. Sussex, nine wickets down, managed to score the runs [...]

A close shave

Yesterday I had lunch at le Bistro Nantais, currently Daffer’s fave Brighton restaurant though situated in Hove. Who should walk in but Brighton’s most skilful player Anthony  Knockaert. He may be skilful, but he is yet to score, nor has anyone else in the team. Chris Hughton has [...]

Sussex Sharks don’t make it

Notwithstanding a comprehensive victory over Essex Eagles, we failed to qualify in the southern section of the T20 as Somerset, equal on points after a bigger win over Hampshire, had the better run rate by 0.063 of a run. Inevitably “if only” comes into play. We only needed 5 runs with [...]

The business end of the t20

The Southern section of the t20 is so complicated and so compact as to which of the sides will qualify for the four positions going into the final round of matches tonight that you need to be a mathematician to work out the various permutations. Clearly the person in the Sussex marketing [...]
