Fan The Flames

Why do people find it difficult to fathom Brighton’s rivalry with Palace, guess who is the closest team is to Brighton yes its Palace, its closer than Portsmouth and Gillingham, the train connections between Brighton and Norwood are quick and when it was fashionable to develop a rival the two teams played each other a lot. People accept Swansea and Cardiff, Man U and Leeds (5 miles less than BHAFC & CPFC) Our 'proper' rivalry is just as contrived, what has Portsmouth done to us apart from being the team down the road. The scummer story was made up in hindsight and we voted on the skate name.

Kind words for potential purchasers of his book

Its clearly more than a few Brighton fans on message boards when the club dedicate the cover of the matchday program to it and change the music to suit. Why are people on the board always trying to close down discussions.

Have you lot discovered the fountain of youth but haven't told your mate on the end.

Didn't he divide the Leeds fans with his attitude, a bit of a Puncheon.

Lets face it all rivalries are fabricated, even ours and ours started in the 70's. So not so different to Brighton's with Palace, I've also been to a few Brighton/Palace games and they are not to different to Saints/Pompey affairs. The constant re-enforcement on here that we have a 'proper' rivalry is a bit sad. The reason Brighton have a beef with us is not jealously, rivalry making or geographic it's just outrage, we could have been anyone but the statement from NA got them. I have a few Brighton mates and I've been to plenty of games over the last 25 years and they are always outraged by someone, be it our Nige, Barry Hearn, Reading FC; they get upset by someone somewhere. Its pathetic that a very minor statement from NA that for most sets of fans would have registered for a week or two has caused this amount of outrage. Brighton fans had a lot to be outraged about with their directors fleecing the club of its ground and maybe they have used outrage as a energy to fuel their comeback, however it seems now its become a habit. So maybe Brighton you should grow some and stop taking your ball home.

Got the ****s back for 1982, it always comes to those that wait.

Mines for mouth wash and penis enlargement.

Yawn

We are joint top of the league, say we are joint top of the league.

There's nothing to fear in Ipswich, an away win is very doable.

We are top of the league, say we are top of the league. And best South Coast Team once again.

The power and shear beauty of Delaps edges it for me, however the fact that Wallace follows the ball shows and repositions himself shows it wasn't an instinctive lunge and demonstrates the skill the little fella had.

Its probably been said elsewhere in this thread but what NC did last year, wanting to be the sole distributor of Saints images, is different to this argument about real time text and image updates.

I get updates from all the Charlton fans in my Dartford office.

Brilliant. Why do people call Forte Jonno Quick, it sounds w@nk.

Yeah good luck Alps.

I worked on a refurb where this happened and it was in an occupied fire station, luckily the fire didn't take hold. The firemen said there was a cooked haddock smell in the corridor for about a week but just thought the smell was from the kitchen, when asked when they last had haddock they replied that they hadn't had them for years.

Come next time and start a few non-pompey songs.

The only certainty is if we win this forum will be full of automatic promotion hype and if we lose it will be full of relegation doomsayers.

Could be a cordon for the Party Political Conferences held in Brighton.

ahhh stream threads, the season has truly begun, praise the lord.

May be cut adrift at the bottom come 7.30.

Toss and serve.

Are these up around the Chairmans entrance because of Covergate.
