Don't you guys mean 'fans from Chelsea & Hove Albion' - we're almost cousins, for goodness sake! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Wonderful - one of the best chases ever! I couldn't help willing the skilled Police chaser to get this guy & the idiot girl on the back. I hope they got the book thrown at 'em, but fear it wasn't, & more likely a slap on the wrist, then back on his bike a few days later........!

As soon as I saw his clips, when we signed him, I've been super-excited. Yes, he's been struggling to fit in & get with the EPL pace, but he'll be a huge force for BHAFC nxt season. With Mitoma, Pedro, Gilmour, Gross (πŸ™), Dunky, JP, Adingra, etc..Albion will be quite something!

Everyone who voted for Brexit, shld hang their head in shame. Over 70s shouldn't have voted on it anyway; they'd had their time. Can you list 3 substantial benefits to the majority of the UK? OK, how about one? It was a PR disaster for the UK in Europe, who just laugh at us now.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚Paul, you comedian...!! Chelski's billion Β£ squad & chaotic season, has at last started going right, & I know it'll be a tough game for Brighton & Hove Albion tonight. But wasn't one of the reasons Potter couldn't cope, because your squad was an unmanageable 35+ & some big egos?

My impression, trying 2B objective, remains that BHAFC's injuries have been SO huge this season, that they've undermined our entire season, & to be Top-6 again. Most other EPL clubs have had either bigger squads, or fewer injuries. How big are most EPL first team squads?

That's very true! It's 'gone' now, but it would be useful to know just WHY BHAFC Albion's injuries this season, which have stopped us being Top-6 again, have been SO off the chart. All teams have injuries, etc, etc, but the numbers & frequency of ours has been ridiculous.

Great that Albion can retain players of this calibre & experience. Bring on next season, IF we can keep our top names, & continue to develop our awesome youngsters, Brighton & Hove Albion will have a Top-6 squad with a balance of youth & experience - & please god - injury avoidance..! πŸ™

Oops! Anyone got some Tippex? I'll pop up to the Derby AC clubhouse and make the correction! πŸ«£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

That's weird; I can't be sure, but I'd swear it wasn't as late as 1984 & am pretty certain it was 1980-81 when I was going thru my injury-ridden yrs at Loughborough. Anyone out there able to check? I do seem to remember it was the first sub-4 in Derbyshire, for what it's worth..!

Very classy departing statement indeed. Sorry to see him leave; was hoping his knowledge & experience would be 'mined' by the club for this great squad and for those to come. But he's been an absolute gent, and it's been a privilege to have him in our team.

Easy to forget how brilliant this goal was. Not seen it for a few mths, but my god, the speed, the agility, the strength (to shrug off at least 2 grabs), & then the coolness to slot it past the Keeper. Any team would've been weakened by losing such a player for the run-in.....!

I think way WAY back in the late 70s, Brendan Foster (European 5,000m Champion amongst other things) raced Geoff Capes (21m + in Shot, and genuinely a highly respected budgerigar breeder) over 200m. Geoff exploded out of the blocks, and Brendan a 3:55 miler, never got near him.!!

Not EXACTLY what I had in mind, but this DOES look a load of fun! Was thinking more: Leg 1 Thrower, L2 Jumper, L3 M-D runner, L4 Sprinter - & what a novelty for other than sprinters, who'd not make top 8, being 'Olympic Champion'! Oh, & seeing Throwers explode from the blocks?

Totally agree. Great racing is entertaining & repeatable. For a few seasons now, shoe tech advancements have enabled faster times (which is fine, by the way), but 'records' are now a cheapened currency & few set in these last 6-7 yrs, have any relevance before that period.

Warm here at RunCzech's 29th this morning, 16-21C during elite racing period. Superb racing nonetheless, and an ETH double, with solid winning times - in conditions surely worth 2-3 minutes or more.

I've long thought that a few 'others' should be able to get in on the 'extra medals from relays' party! How about teams made up of: 1 Thrower, 1 Jumper, 1 M-D runner, & 1 Sprinter? Everyone can sprint, after all. I'd watch - we're in the entertainment game, aren't we?...πŸ€”
