Appointing a legend … not really

The appointment of local lad John Carver will go down well with the Newcastle fans after the southern duo of Alan Pardew and Mike Ashley. I heard that great sage Mark Lawrenson say that with Ashley it’s all about money. Well actually he inherited a Newcastle club in a financial mess which [...]

Curtain Call/Anthony Quinn

One of the pleasures of writing for the Rust is the collegiate way which information is shared e.g. John Pargiter forever wants betting tips from our sports writers.

Albion 2 Arsenal 3

A record crowd of 30,250 witnessed a first half when the Seagulls were blown away by the pace and passing of the Arsenal. However we regrouped at half time and made a fist of it.

Albion assessed

There were extraordinary similarities between our game and Fulham’s. Both ended 3-2, all six goals came from wonderful strikes from outside the box and both  teams after dominating play were hanging in and on at the end. This was Brighton’s best game of the season and without Lewis [...]
