It just gets worse, doesn't it? Living as I do 60 miles from Brighton I've been driven to fury by their wretched engineering works, which, although doubtless essential and important, have made matchday travel by train almost impossible unless I leave at daybreak. What is particularly infuriating...
What you're really saying is that we shouldn't criticise recent on-field performances. Dunno if you were present for the Bournemouth debacle but most everyone left stunned at the display. Dito Cardiff. Yet now there are signs of improvement - the Spurs game showed just what they can do, yet you...
I'm a pub landlord and I hold more licences than you could shake a stick at, and legally I'm responsible for ensuring that the licensing objectives, one of which is the 'prevention of crime and disorder' are met. Easy you might think. but trouble and worse comes usually totally out of the blue...
I don't think that's fair: he's always struck me as a decent, honest manager. That said, things are going horribly wrong with most everyone losing 'form' at the same time. But now is not the time to start vilifying him, much as many of his tactical decisions and late substitutions probably...
Always nice to see democracy in action. But had it occurred to you that most of his audience will share his views? So quite possibly it might well be you on the receiving end of any thrown stones?
Oh come on guys: not only is it just a two horse race but its also eleven against eleven. And didn't City lose to Newcastle, of all teams, recently?
The only thing that worries me is the managers comments: 'A slim chance'. Indeed. Now tomorrow morning I've got to op down to the book shop, buy...
Yup, that's my pub - it is the White Horse - and we still have stunning strippers every Saturday. I had rhought of making a special day of it for other Albion fans going to Wembley (there's a very good rail link with Chiltern Railways to the stadium) but unhappily Portsmouth are playing at...
I agree. Not only has he served his sentence (although presumably he's still out on licence) and although he's clearly behaved n a particularlry stupid and unpleasant way I too feel that he was made an example of, simply because he was a well known international footballer as well as being a...
Three times to my certain memory I have seen teams given no chance at all win against the odds. I was at Stamford Bridge in the late fifties when Crewe won in the FA Cup with a single goal. (The manager, Ted Drake, ran onto the pitch after Jimmy Greaves, before his Italian sojourn, got injured...
Why not Peter James, author of those increasingly boring detective stories featuring local locations? At least then he can do a but about North West London...
Oh really? I grew up in Hove, have lived on and off in Brighton and my first child was born at the Royall Sussex. I've followed Albion since my Dad took me to my first game in 1952. I had a season ticket for years in the old South stand at the Goldstone and unhappily made the trek to Gillingham...
No-one here has so far mentioned the quality of the football, the reliance upon a game plan that doesn't sem to have a plan 'B' , I go not only to support Albion but to be entertained, and the last few weeks have been anything but that. Given the quality of Andone, Ali J et al then I'd thought...
