it is, if the 'jeopardy' question is:

Which young left back defender did the ex spud pochettino insist on playing as an attacking right winger?

I know 7 foods that start with the letter Q. What is a quince?

Just out of casual interest: have Brighton signed a new manager yet?

How would you commute though @Valerie?

Well, I am househunting at the moment, I might extend my search area to be within reasonable distance from Brighton. Let's say including London SW6.

Maresca being officially announced today 👀

Sources are telling me that he will be our new head coach

Today we go double-Enzo.

I hope I'm wrong but I feel totally underwhelmed .

If this is any indicator to the slow. methodical. Zzzzz football we might be in for, even the bloody announcement of his appointment is taking so bleeding long I'm already bored of it. Mourinho - Fenerbahce, now that's an entrance!

I was more overwhelmed when we signed Del Horno!

This is a really interesting watch - Ben Jacobs who is very well informed. 
 

One of the key lines from it was “while Maresca seems a underwhelming choice a fan level, those within the industry are confident that Chelsea have got a very good manager”. 
 

Let hope!

But "those within the industry" could just be Winstanley and Stewart who have been incredibly underwhelming themselves. Just cos someone has got themselves a job in football, doesn't mean they know what the hell they are doing.

I’m increasingly excited. Never thought Poch was right, and while the timing was poor, Enzo has my backing. 

That said, I’m also concerned we’ve just gone after the next AVB (as he was to Jose).

Well allowing one player to go and denying two from the same nation may cause issues.

Yea I bet Gusto loves him already for that if it’s true!

Did we all of a sudden forget Gusto will be starting the next 3 matches for us? If he goes to the Olympics he'll miss the start of the season if France go all the way. 

Badiashile could also very well be in Maresca's plans.
