    Honestly, get Poyet out now, it really will be for the best.
    I can forgive the poor pies but not another season of poor boring football please!
    Coco?

    Don't let 'em get you down HPR, I actually find some of your posts more entertaining than others on here.

    To everyone else, please get over it. It's an internet forum. If you really get annoyed or frustrated by comments such as his, I suggest you need to take a break from reading these pages...
    I echo that. Anyone that can't take HPR comments should get a life. The only people he might be offensive to are paid a lot more than you or I and it affects them not in the slightest. He's not been personally offensive to anyone on this site but plenty have been to him.

    The responses he draws are more offensive and unwanted than his original remarks

    So if you don't like it, don't read it
    I disagree entirely.
    I read the comments on this site because I like to see what genuine fans of the Albion think. That doesn't mean they have to necessarily agree that Gus Poyet is the best thing since sliced bread, or that his tactics are correct all the time. However, although HPR is clearly a wind-up merchant, his humour is cr*p - at least Mr Carrot was funny. And personally, I find his comments on the latest thread re Adam El Abd to be offensive. No genuine person would make those sort of comments about a Brighton player, a local lad too, who has come good. You take him with a pinch of salt if you like. I wil ltake him to be the t*ss-pot that he is.
    I genuinely respect your passion for your team although probably misplaced. As far as insulting a Brighton stalwart is concerned that is your opinion but I am also entitled to mine and I do not rate him one bit.
    Also I have never said I am a Brighton fan, I'm just a season ticket holder who enjoys football but doesn't see too much of that at the Amex.
    Now we've got that sorted I wish you good night and hope you are not too upset and disappointed by the season ahead."

Gus cools Swanson talk - but signings are coming

Happy: Gus Poyet Happy: Gus Poyet

Gus Poyet expects to kick off his summer transfer activity in the next fortnight.

But the Albion boss last night said he had made no offer to Danny Swanson, the Scottish attacking midfielder seemingly bound for the Championship.

Swanson, out of contract at Dundee United, has been linked with several English clubs with the Seagulls reported to be leading the way for his signature.

The lifelong Hibs fan expects to turn down a contract offer at Easter Road so he can pursue his dreams south of the border.

Swanson has recovered from a knee injury and is a regular creator of chances from his central role.

The Argus understands Albion have watched the 25–year-old and believe he has talent.

But he is not what they require, either in terms of position or, at 5ft 6ins, physical stature.

Ideally Poyet still envisages Vicente pulling the strings next term.

He said of Swanson: “I know of him but we have not made him an offer.

“We have our list of players for a few positions and we have options. It is actually not that big a list.”

Swanson is good friends with former Albion striker Fran Sandaza and was in the same Scotland squad as Craig Mackail-Smith last season.

Poyet said: “I’m thinking in the next couple of weeks we can make new signings for the club. We have had meetings (with chairman Tony Boom), there is another one next week and I am happy with how things are going.”

Poyet is keen to get his squad together in time for pre-season but recognises two of his most inspired signings – Liam Bridcutt in 2010 and Vicente last year – came with the campaign already under way.

He added: ““The main things is to get the players in for the beginning of pre-season but football doesn’t work like that.

“It is not always in your hands."

Egypt, with Albion defender Adam El-Abd in their squad, kick off a series of three friendlies in Sudan when they tackle Cameroon tomorrow. They then meet Togo on Tuesday and Senegal on Friday.
