chelsea Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I think their nickname is "the gulls" too! I just thought - seaside....seagulls and I immediately thought of Torquay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagullukuk Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 You are right. Brighton and Hove Albion. Called seagulls after. Torquay are the gulls. The Albion used to be the dolphins and previous to that the shrimps. Neither of which really caught on but in the late 70's when Mullery was in charge and venables was in charge of the cess pit in sarf london in response to cries of that large American mascot the Albion fans responded with seeeeaaaagulls!A nickname which has stuck no doubt as it was created on the terraces rather than in some commercial department like the cricket names. i.e. Sussex Sharks!!

Guest Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 some snippets from around our regulars' teams..... (isn't the close season a drag!!) Chelsea have upped their bid for Tottenham defender Pascal Chimbonda to £12m after being priced out of a move for Sevilla's £20m-rated full-back Daniel Alves, who is wanted by Liverpool. (The Sun) France midfielder Florent Malouda is on the brink of joining Chelsea from Lyon. (Various) Chelsea are set to make a £25m double move for Chimbonda and Malouda. (Daily Express) Andriy Shevchenko's agent Stephen Curnow has insisted that the Chelsea striker does not want to go back to Italy, despite being constantly linked with a return to AC Milan. (Daily Star) Fiorentina are set to make a £3m bid for "Ooops, word censored!"nal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg. (Daily Mirror) Aston Villa are to step up their bid to land Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe. (Daily Star) Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp also wants Defoe. (Daily Telegraph) Real Madrid are close to agreeing a fee for Chelsea winger Arjen Robben. (Daily Telegraph) Striker Nicolas Anelka is wanted by Lyon, if Bolton lower their £10m asking price. (Various) Aston Villa striker John Carew is being targeted by Porto - only six months after arriving in England from Lyon. (Daily Mirror) Chelsea appear to have won the race to land one of the world's most promising talents - Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato, 17, who plays for Internacional and whose buy-out fee could cost between £11m and £15m. Pato's real name is Alexandre Rodrigues Da Silva but is called Pato because he hails from Pato Branco, which translates as White Duck. (Daily Telegraph) Bolton chairman Phil Gartside has hit out at former manager Sam Allardyce, now boss of Newcastle, for going back on the agreement not to take any of the backroom staff from the Reebok Stadium and the Trotters chief is insisting such people work 12 months' notice. (Various) Sam who?????? "Ooops, word censored!"nal manager "Ooops, word censored!"ne Wenger allowed Thierry Henry to join Barcelona because physiological statistics and read-outs suggested the striker was past his best. (Daily Mirror) Wenger will hand Cesc Fabregas the "Ooops, word censored!"nal vice-captaincy as a reward for the midfielder pledging his future to the club. (Various) "Ooops, word censored!"nal are so confident that Wenger will extend his contract that the Gunners have not considered looking for a successor. (The Guardian) and.... just for Helen cos she loves him so!!! Former West Ham striker Teddy Sheringham, who has joined Colchester, hopes to face his 19-year-old son Charlie - a forward on Crystal Palace's books - when the two Championship sides meet next season. (Various) roll on the new season!! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
