    [Albion] Why is Dunk consistently overlooked by England?

    Much as I love Dunky, to be honest I am not TOTALLY sure that he is England class. What I am sure about, though, is that he deserves more of a chance than he has been given. Tomori and Mings getting in ahead of him on the basis of a couple of good weeks in the Prem is a joke. Nothing against...

    [Albion] The 'Team Of The Eighties'...

    I see Palace have a film coming out celebrating this, err, era-defining team. Their record against the Albion in the 1980s? P14 W3 D2 L9 Great times. Apart from Kelvin Morton's five-penalty fiasco, obviously.

    Very cool. Loving the ska/two tone.

    [Football] Are you taking in a game this weekend with it being the international break?

    Euro trip, part work, for three qualifiers in Estonia and Finland. Saw a group of four or five shirted up Albion as I was leaving 'The Pub With No Name' In Tallinn after catching England/Bulgaria game. Stag do?

    [Football] England Squad

    As people have said, even though I'd have liked to see Dunk get another chance, on a selfish note I'm not too fussed about his omission. Better for us, and he'll play with a point to prove. In fairness he was at best 6th or 7th centre back for England and only got in due to injuries. Plus he...

    [Football] Zaha watch - *** The SEGW finally managed to escape***

    Outstanding. I wonder how that would sound with, say, 27,000 people singing it very loudly in February. If he's still there, of course.

    [Albion] Talkshite have us down as finishing bottom

    Seriously, no one should worry about these predictions, or get angry, defensive, or thin-skinned about them. We are almost the most difficult team to predict this season given the terrible second half of the season, but a new manager untested at this level, and some good new signings. When you...

    [Albion] Top Premier League goalscorer this season

    All the usual suspects at the top of the betting, but some intriguing options further down if you fancy a punt. Including arguably our new boy - Neal Maupay is currently a top-priced 150-1. Just from the sort of player he is and where he will play, if he gets any game time and plays instead of...

    [Football] Zaha watch - *** The SEGW finally managed to escape***

    Always had the potential to go massively tits-up this summer with Zaha, and it's all going to plan. Zaha, despite his years of saying how much he loves Palace and hates Brighton etc, literally couldn't wait to get out of the place this year, to literally anyone who came up with the money...

    [Albion] Guardian Preview of The Albion is Up

    Reasonable enough prediction. But this is why Bloom acted, he was looking at this season and thinking that if that form of 4/5 months continued we were as good as down before a ball was kicked. However we are now into new and unpredictable territory with Potter. We might still go down with...

    [Football] Kilmarnock fans running commentary on their European exit last night

    This is utterly brilliant, 'Oh no, I'm all booked up for Belgrade' must be the new 'FFS Murray!'

    [Albion] Chris Hughton statement

    Not really. Man City went out and won the games they needed to win to get the title. Brighton blew chance after chance to get themselves out of trouble and had to rely on Cardiff being worse and ultimately losing to Fulham and Palace.

    [Football] The FA Cup - Are fans responsible for killing it?

    Think the OP is very negative, and I don't recognise it. Brighton have been sensible about pricing for FA Cup ties, I have taken advantage of that with kids and had some really good days in the last couple of years. As a result our crowds for not especially attractive matches have held up well...

    [Albion] Chris Hughton statement

    I think this is the key point. There will be those that will say if Potter and the team go down, it somehow proves it was a bad decision. I'm not sure I would agree even with that. Leaving things the way they were, I would say relegation was a near-certainty anyway, and it would have been...

    [Albion] Chris Hughton statement

    He has every right to put something on record, usual dignified approach. For me the biggest thing there was the absence of any specific reference to board and chairman, with whom he has also had a very good relationship though you can understand why this has soured it. Did a fantastic job for...

    [Politics] Should milk shake attacks be classed as common assault?

    The 'it could have been acid' is a relevant question and comparison from the security/safety aspect - but I'm guessing not legally. If it had been acid, presumably it would have been a different charge because the damage is so much greater. Something like GBH?

    [Politics] Should milk shake attacks be classed as common assault?

    Legally, I'm in the dark here. What else is included in common assault? I think this Farage assailant picked up criminal damage too. Despite the comedy value, is it a crime? Would you press charges? And if you wanted to make a point, how else would you do it to avoid legal entanglements? I'm...
