Went to watch Cambridge City's replay against St. Albans tonight, largely as it was an excuse to go back to St. Ives! The town was lovely, the beer great and the football poor! The power cut was also hilarious and the warm beer incredibly cheap! I couldn't work out if 'wot's he know?'s' son was on the pitch or bench, but that might be a good thing! Ian Allinson is a character though, for those of you old enough to remember the name! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

The question - Will any of the premier league clubs play anything close to a first XI? The top 6 - No way as the league position and Europe is more important. The bottom 10 are all in a relegation fight so wont risk any of their top players. Burnely, Leicester and Everton are the only teams that may play something close to the first XI. But then again they may claim everybody is tired after playing so much over xmas. Burnely are 18/1 to win tomorrow. Worth a punt! ------------- |

Have to say, a lot of Prem teams are playing strong sides. Maybe not the first XI but they aren’t putting out the 2nd team like the league cup.

They've got the Lge Cup Semi-Finals coming up, plus the Europa League, and they must be desperate to finish back in the Top Four again. Considering that was their 10th game since 07 December, and they've another 6 games before they play at Spurs on 10 February, I'd say another FA Cup tie squeezed in there would be very far down Wenger's list of priorities.

I barely regard the League Cup as a major competition anymore.

I think it was the mid-seventies when it really kicked off, Brighton only adopting the 'seagull' nickname as a response to Palace's 'Eagles'. It really took off when Alan Mullery took charge of Brighton and Venables went to Palace, the pair had never got on at Spurs and their rivalry, the fact that Palace and Brighton had spent most of the previous decades in the same division, and also that neither had a real derby, meant a real animosity developed. I'm sure there are pictures online of Mullery flicking the 'v' sign at the Palace fans. He also went into the Palace dressing room after a game, chucked his spare change at Venables and told him 'that's all you and your team are worth'. Bit of a character was Mullers! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Definitely not a media one. This is one of those quirky and peculiarly English derbies that pretty much went under the national media radar for a long time before being picked up on. My favourite story, supposedly true but it may be wishful on my part, is that the sobriquet adopted by the Brighton fans, and later the club itself, of 'the Seagulls', which was a result of this fixture, led to 'police intelligence'(an oxymoron if ever there was) spending much time and money infiltrating the neo-Nazis on the coast, believing they were chanting 'sieg heil' and not 'Sea-gulls'. Brighton has always been a well known hotbed of fascism. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

"I went to QPR [as manager] just after Venners (Terry Venables). Everything about the club was about him. I opened a cupboard door and there was a big coat in there. I asked one of the secretaries whose coat it was. It was Terry’s… I love him dearly, but it was an absolute nightmare taking over from him.” As for being a "character", I suspect we don't know the half of it: So now Mullery was in a place that those blessed with a little luck would not wish to visit. Football had deserted him: he and June had lost their lovely house in Surrey and were living in diminished circumstances. “ I just sat there and stared at walls. I mean, I shave every day, but back then, I didn’t shave for weeks. I was an absolute scruff. I didn’t want to go out anywhere.” The various desperations formed a pinnacle when they agreed on a joint suicide. I ask him how close they came to following through. The reply is unequivocal. “Close to having a shotgun and putting it under her nose. I went upstairs and got it out of the cupboard. She was fast asleep. Yeah, it was as close as that. http://cooneyandblack.com/blog/how-close-did-we-come-to-suicide-as-close-to-having-a-shotgun-and-putting-it-under-junes-nose-she-was-fast-asleep-the-world-we-lived-in-had-become-an-entirely-different-place/" rel="nofollow - http://cooneyandblack.com/blog/how-close-did-we-come-to-suicide-as-close-to-having-a-shotgun-and-putting-it-under-junes-nose-she-was-fast-asleep-the-world-we-lived-in-had-become-an-entirely-different-place/ |

Cheers Terri.It is quite sad, to say the least, to read about Mullery's problems. The penalty Deco referenced above is covered in the first link too. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

I can understand those sentiments! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

The rivalry started before then but that's just when it peaked. Brighton were the only football club in West Sussex until 2011 when Crawley joined the ranks so their nearest before then was Palace who are 45 miles up the M23, hence why it's known as the M23 derby.

Did they just pick this game at random to trial the VAR? Any future games chosen? |
