Something about Chelsea and Brighton and Hove Albion without sounding like a tabloid football headline.
One excellent side effect of Roman Abramovich chucking his cash around at my favourite team, Chelsea, has been that my second favourite team, Brighton and Hove Albion, have been able to grab some of the unwanted leftovers. Leon Knight joined Brighton on a free transfer after being rated surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and is currently joint top scorer in the second division. He scored again this evening as Brighton beat Rushden & Diamonds 1-3.
He seems to be succeeding in doing the almost impossible job of replacing the sadly departed (To Spurs not Heaven) Bobby Zamora. Brighton manager Steve Coppell is doing an excellent job and certainly did well in picking up Knight.
Mikael Forssell is scoring goals on loan at Birmingham and while Carlton Cole hasn't set the football world alight at Charlton - but he probably will shortly. Football, football, blah, blah, blah etc...
