    [Albion] Abuse in Football: How Brighton are tackling fan behaviour [BBC Sport]

    Exactly right! I'd also like to point out that the Ariana Grande atrocity wouldn't have happened had the door supervisors(?) been more aware and not let anyone in after the concert ended. All of the whingers about bottle tops would soon complain if there was , heaven forbid, some kind of...

    [Misc] Top Gear - Oh Dear!

    Disagree. I thought tonight's programme mildly amusing and well worth watching

    [Brighton] Brother of Syria war pair stabbed to death in Brighton

    Like they say in the Navy - 'if he can't take a joke then he shouldn't have joined'....

    [Albion] Button

    You have to be joking. The serties made him out to be something of a liability...

    [Albion] Tony Bloomt

    It isn't only that. Where does 'Sea sea Seasiders' come from? Isn't that another team altogether? I guess this was designed by some ad agency unfamiliar with the Seagulls...

    [Albion] Minutes silence before every game?

    Albion legends yes. But I remember a November game in pre premier league days when a young man who'd lost both legs in Afganistan was welcomed on the pitch to applause folowed by another round of clapping for the Spurs player who'd nearly died (but didn't) on the pitch at White Hart Lane. I sat...

    [Albion] We played well.

    No, it will be a tough three months. After this shambolic display where on earth do we go? Murray is great if he gets or someone gives him the ball: but as nothing like this happened he never looked like doing much. Yeah, their goalkeeper was great - but aren't they all at this level. I though...

    [Sussex] Any Christ's Hospital former alumni frequenting this parish?

    Dunno about Christs Hospital apart from the dodgy uniforms, but I went to King Edwards at Witley,, near Guildford, which is somehow part of the same foundation - plenty of God etc. As a small boy of 10 back in the fifties it remains the worst six years of my life. I too would have been far...

    [Albion] Time for a Hughton to step down

    He's wrong generally but right in one thing: CH's obvious plan is to go for 40 points and then presumably relax. Wouldn't you for the kind of money he's on? I keep hoping that once we get there (?) we might see some adventurous attacking football. And suggesting replacing him with loser Pardew...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion have issued lifetime bans to [three] supporters...

    Yeah, it's a bit like using a baseball bat. Lose control of it and you're in real trouble...

    [Albion] Emiliano Sala [signed by Cardiff, confirmed to have been on missing aircraft]

    What I find odd is that there has been no mention of a 'Mayday' radio call from the plane. Not only are there are airports (obviously) at Jesey and Guernsey but also one in Alderney. The local airline - Aurigny - used to be based there (dunno if they still are) Might I point out that many...

    [Football] Gary Rowett sacked / Nathan Jones **NOW CONFIRMED AS REPLACEMENT**

    In any case, it might just be a 'bridge too far'??

    [Albion] AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    That's twice this week I've watched him - I made the mistake of watching all of the episodes of 'Sunderland till I die' on Netflix one evening. A little too close to home, I thought, and thoroughly depressing. And Steele didn't come out of it al well - but that save was excellent. He's earnt his...

    [Help] Completely O/T: Dog Insurance

    It just gets more and more expensive each year, especially if you make a claim. I insure my lab/rottweiler cross with Tesco pet insurance (who were cheapest when I got him) and the premiums, after three claims, now run at a little over £550 a year. Labradors (or lab crosses) seem to spend their...

    [Albion] Knockaert

    Yeah he's much loved, but it's worth remembering that Albion found him playing in the French or Belgian second division (can't remember which)after his departure from Leicester. Why did Leicester let him go then? For the same reasons perhaps that he now appears to have fallen out with CH?

    [Drinking] Fosters in the WSU

    At the risk of being repetetive this all goes back to the care of the beer and the lines (pipes) to the servery. It's my guess that your pint stood in the lines since the last home game, and unless there are chillers in-line it has heated up and cooled down perhaps several times to produce an...

    [Albion] Albion win 'Programme of the Year' for the second year in a row

    Gotta take issue with this. Not only is the programme beautifully produced and excellent reading, I view it as part of the matchday experience. And no, I don't keep 'em going back to the year dot, although I do have the cup final one somewhere. Funnily enough, I don't want to read the same on my...

    [Travel] buses for arsenal game

    It is, but isn't that the modern face of football? Stadiums used to be part of a town, now they are built on the outskirts, presumably 'cos the land is cheaper and more accessible to buy. According to Dick Knight in his book it was the only place possible.
