I love a good conspiracy theory, me.

I don't know this for sure but would one way of narrowly avoiding a contraction in Q1 be to get everybody panic buying something that is taxed quite heavily in the final few days of the quarter? If so, I'd imagine what we'll see in the next few hours is ministers taking to the airwaves and...

Feels like a long way to go until Birmingham at home but if things go as your predictions suggest up to then then that will be the key game and if we can sneak the win then it's playoffs here we come!

I think it was his fault we never had a corner having awarded us one at the end of the first half then promptly blowing for HT - usually refs let them be taken. I thought he was a homer, their defence was holding on to Vokes all game and we got hadly anything yet the slightest touch saw a free...

While Idisagree with some of what Billy said, I think there's some truth to some of the sentiment. There's plenty of food (for example) to go round in this world but for some reason a high proportion of it ends up in the mouths of people from rich Western nations. I don't think the...

Have we really only won three of the last eight? When you look at it like that people could be fooled into thinking we're in poor form, which is handy.

Oh dear, am sorry to hear this. Didn't he used to post as Britbyte many moons ago? Watched from the sidelines as he had some cracking rows on here. What a shame that he never knew in life the affection he's been held in in death - despite the fact he could be a bit crackers sometimes. RIP...

I know this means nothing but.... I recall we lost 3-1 at Bloomfield Road (think we were in a Withdean-style temporary stand) and it was April 10 2004. From there we didn't lose another regular season game, got to the playoffs and eventually beat Bristol City in the playoff final. Could...

I'd be inclined to see how CMS is getting on from Aug to Dec and then make a decision as to whether we need a bit more firepower. Can imagine him banging in the goals next season. However, if it's not working out for him next year then we'd just need to buy in that extra boost up top, in my...

Hard to say really. Agree about CMS, not as sure about Vokes in terms of goals but think he could be good at setting someone up. Maybe Gus could swing his contacts at Spurs or Chelsea. I guess in July you just never know who is going to have that hot season that shoots a team to glory. Maybe I...

Best case scenario: We get into the playoffs or at least very, very close (going in to last couple of games with a realistic hope). Worst case scenario: We slip away from the race over the enxt few games and are effectively out of the playoff race by the end of the month. We finish off the...

Six points froim the Derby and Forest games and things will be looking sweeeeeet. Today was always going to be tricky.

BHAFC_Pandapops sits about two rows in front of me and about six seats to the lwft. He seems to enjoy a good shout.

As someone who stumps up a significant sum of money to Southern for a rail season ticket which covers me to Falmer I'm a bit disappointed to be paying for something I don't need so I think I'll just see it as a £30 rise in the cost of my season ticket and negotiate with the wife about renewal on...

I guess in some senses there's a compliment to be had in Cardiff, challenging for the playoffs and having just pushed Liverpool a lot closer than we managed to, coming to the Amex for a draw but I agree with others that last night was definitely two points dropped (could easily have been a nil...

My 14 month old daughter now has her first albion shirt. she'll need to wear it as a dress for now because I got her a 3-4 years one to grow in to but the important thing is that she'll never know a day without following the Albion.

I first logged on when Gary C was in charge and the board looked pretty different. We were in Division 3 (now league 2) and had just lost 3-0 at Southend, effectively ending our faint bid for the playoffs. One thread I recall from that time was BRIGHTONWANKERSYOURALLSCUM which I think referred...

I've seen similar stuff to this on my travels. Once saw an Irish ticket guard, quite an anal chap, give a guy a load of hassle because he had got on a later train then the one he had booked because the earlier one he was booked on was busy and he wouldn't have got a seat. The Irish fellow got...

It was certianly more effective than Fan Zone in getting the home crowd going before the game.... All a bit odd, especially when you consider that Albion fans are among the first to put their hands in their pockets (and produce half and half scarves) when other teams are up against it. As has...

Last time I was in the Albert (about three months ago) none other than John Piercy was behind the bar.
