BRIGHTON RIGHT TO KEEP CAICEDO

It was in season 1991/92 under Howard Wilkinson that Leeds United won their third and last top-tier title.

It’s even coming up to 20 years since an English domestic trophy went home to Yorkshire.

In season 2003/04 Middlesbrough, under Steve McClaren (inset) and with Gareth Southgate as captain took on Bolton Wanderers at the Millennium Stadium and scored two early goals from Joseph-Desire Job and Boudewijn Zenden to eventually win the game 2-1.

FAIR PLAY to Brighton owner Tony Bloom and chief executive Paul Barber for standing up to Moises Caicedo and his embarrassing and desperate attempts to force his way to Arsenal.

Caicedo only joined Brighton in February 2021 and even went out to Beerschot in Belgium for a loan.

He has made 30 appearances for the club since they signed him from Independiente del Valle for €4.5m.

Favour

Everton allowed Anthony Gordon to disrespectfully force his way to Newcastle. Brighton might never be as big a name as the Toffees, but right now they are a better club.

I have to laugh at Everton, despite the promises of owner Farhad Moshiri, failing to sign anyone during the transfer window for Marmite Man Sean Dyche (inset).

But actually, what a favour that has done for Dyche.

One of the most important things in management in the beautiful game is believing that you can manage players properly, improve them and make them better.

Brighton understand that and so does Dyche.

LIVERPOOL won at Wolves in the FA Cup last month. And even though they are so up and down, I’m going for a Molineux double. VERDICT: Liverpool
