    [Albion] Paul Barber on Talksport this morning

    "if he (RDZ) has asked Tony a couple of times, he's asked me 100 times". I recall him saying that both PB and TB love being pushed by RDZ in respect of aspirations as that's only a positive for the club - what would they/we rather have - a manager pushing all the time or a manager content with...

    [Albion] Entitlement, Scapegoats and Blame Culture........

    When did Caicedo and MacAllister leave - think I missed that? Oh and our goalie is shithouse, Webster's mistake for the second was so typical him, our Manager can't be arsed any more and it's a travesty we don't win every game!

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    Which in turn makes it a Sellers Market - to buy somebody, the other club (and the player) have to be willing to sell at a price that is in line with our strategy. As PB has said many times, it's not an easy process (unless you are dealing with Chelsea) TB has been anti doing business in January...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    Understanding the problem, which isn't a Brighton specific problem - you just have to look at the amount of business not done in January across the board to understand why, is a totally different thing to accepting the Club's Strategy, which no doubt he did when he joined and just maybe still...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    Time to put in a bit of retrospective perspective! In 3 of our last 9 games last season, we were done 3-1 at Forest, done 5-1 at home by Everton and 4-1 at Newcastle! I do believe RDZ was moaning about fatigue and fitness back then (different circumstances but still a run of games in not many...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    One thing I'm struggling with is that for me, this isn't a change of narrative from RDZ, he's been banging on about squad rotation, squad depth etc. since September and save our fantastic start to the season, as the table posted for the period between matchweeks 7 and 27, we have been a bang...

    [Albion] Going "All In" at Fulham?

    It appears that quite a few wanted RDZ to go "All In" by playing the best 11 available today. Granted a few eyebrows were raised with the team selection but hindsight is such a wonderful thing when you are a keyboard warrior who procrastinates whilst taking zero responsibility ;-) I'm sure RDZ...

    [Albion] Would you be disappointed with 9th place this season?

    I'd bite your hand off for 9th currently - our last 5 home fixtures are against 5 of the current top 6. After today's late result there's a little bit of daylight between the top 6 and 7th. Maybe we over performed last season and were lucky that Chelsea went complete tonto basket case - they...

    [Albion] Team to play West Ham

    so he lied about Webster then lol

    [Albion] Team to play West Ham

    I suspect that unless Igor has made a miraculous recovery or we name a specialist CB from the Dev Squad, even when the team is announced, we'll still have no idea who is playing there, much like RDZ's teams when we are guessing who plays at full back ;-)

    [TV] UKCC23 - Match SIX - I'm Alan Partridge vs The Thick Of It

    Alan: Oh God, yeah, yeah. Fascinating creatures, though. Looks like a lady, but really it’s a man. I don’t find them attractive, it’s just confusing. I don’t suppose you’ve got any army stories about them? Michael: I did hear about this corporal, right? [Alan lies down on the bed, listening...

    [Albion] Team for Forest away

    Team sort of picks itself with just a decision on either Bart or Steele and also Lallana or Buonanotte? Bart or Steele Veltman Dunk JPVH Gross Gilmour Baleba Adringa Fati Lallana or Buonanotte Pedro Subs: Bart or Steele, Moder, Lallana or Buonanotte, Lamptey, Ferguson, * 4x U21's * Team...

    [Help] Tote Restaurant Table Betting Hove Greyhound Stadium

    Oh the memories - Chas Miller and the infamous Sid Star! Six of us got a dog with Bill Masters, graded in at A12 (back in them days) ran twice, came last twice, so Bill said he'd get us another one! Original dog raced at Catford a couple of months later, ran once, won at 8/1 and was never seen...

    [Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    We've always got a result like that in us - see Everton last season. RBZ has known it ever since Gross got injured, we are very thin in the middle of the park currently and just like AEK we were lightweight and bullied particularly in the first half. We need Baleba to get up to speed quickly, Mo...

    [Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Didn't we call for Dunk and Veltman to "shore up" the defence as apparently we are much better defensively with them?? Bad day at the office......move on.....
