Fugue for a Monday morning

June 28, 2010

The day after the day that wasn’t, eh readers? A funeral march would be more appropriate, but I’m losing myself in some Underworld instead. From their 2007 ‘Oblivion With Bells’ album, this is the Audiojack remixed ‘Holding the Moth’. There’s a throwaway line in the tune that goes “Keep it simple”, well the Germans did and that was that.

‘Taxi for Capello!’

Death or Glory for big Russ?

Death or Glory time for Big Russ?

I’m back in damp old Hove and all set for Withdean this afternoon for the visit of the Monkey Hangers. Anything less than a win and I think we’ll see the Russell Slade era come to an end. So, let’s get behind the team and get them firing. I’ll post a full match report either Sunday or Monday, as I’ve lots of stuff to do and people to see now I’m home for three weeks.

I’ve also tried on my gorilla suit for my Brighton Marathon REMF run. I was sweating my tits off after just putting the bloody thing on! It’s going to be a tough, tough run next April. I’ve now raised £381 for the charity though, so it will be worth it. I see ex-Leeds and England player Danny Mills will be completing the marathon in a wheelchair, so I’m hoping to beat his time!

Michael Ricketts coming to Withdean?

July 13, 2009

The 30 year old Walsall striker, who has one England cap, is being trialled by the Albion, along with Seagulls old boy Dan Harding and Danny Spiller. Not sure Ricketts is up for the job, but it is only a trial. But hey, if he comes and gets some goals who cares?

Things could be looking up for the Seagulls this season with other signings, we should have giant Derby County forward Liam Dickinson fully suited and booted this week at a much hyped price of £500,000. He has been likened to Albion Legend Bobby Zamora, that’s big boots to fill in my humble opinion.

Can’t wait for 8th August, this is going to be a HUGE season for us, I’m predicting an around the play-offs finish, definitely top ten. With or without Michael Ricketts.
