    [Albion] England Squad announcement shortly

    Fast forward a year or two, "yes, I know Solly and Lewis are excelling in the latter stages of the Champions League playing in an exceptional Brighton side that would utterly trounce this England team, BUT.. yada yada yada"

    [Albion] England Squad announcement shortly

    Just pre-empting the uproar shortly when Southgate does indeed select an Albion player but it turns out to be Colwill.
  3. We're the Stripes

    [Albion] Is there a single metric that points to the Albion not losing on Wednesday?

    Some idiot in the north stand will probably utter something in frustration at that moment and they'll be printing t-shirts quoting it forever more too, knowing them.

    [Football] How big is Mitoma back in Japan

    I'm asking from a position of complete ignorance on this, but how easily obtainable has the club typically made our shirts globally? I'm assuming it'd be restricted to online sales, and we're not anywhere near the point of having our shirts stocked in for example, Nike stores across Japan, yet?

    [Albion] Pascal Gross - we thank you

    2 goals in 6 games at RB this season 🤯 not a ratio to be sniffed at. (I know he has had games where he's moved to full back having started further up, and vice versa, but I'm happy to ignore that)

    [Albion] Alexis Mac Allister replacement?

    So when we talk about replacing Alexis these days, are we talking about filling the #8 role (alongside Caicedo) or the #10 role in behind the striker? Kamada/Buonanotte/most other players I've seen mentioned are far more the latter than the former, based on the evidence we have to date. FWIW I...

    [Albion] FA Cup QF Draw Wed 1.3.23

    I know we're generally better on the road but I'd fancy us against anyone at home in the cup. Not based on any stats particularly, but I think having the home support makes a bigger difference in a one-off cup tie. Would expect the Amex to have a noticeably amped up feel about it for a...

    [Albion] "Tony is going to have to put together a £0.25 billion++ team of replacements"

    That's the part that really intrigues me - the club have built their reputation on securing and developing the hidden gems from untapped markets, less so going out and buying more established names, which may a necessary requirement this summer to fill any Mac Allister/Caicedo/Mitoma shaped...

    [Albion] Danny Hoyle - Norwich City scout

    Interesting that he presumably went from Huddersfield to Norwich to work under Stuart Webber once again despite the strongest of family links at Hudders! Must've been at least a semi-awkward conversation with his old man, that.

    [Albion] Moises Caicedo - New contract signed until summer 2027 with 1 year extra option.

    As mentioned already, it's based on a week-old quote from RdZ ahead of the Bournemouth game, with the line you mentioned stemming from the (even older) social media post, nothing more. Feels like we've moved significantly beyond all this now, doesn't it?

    [Albion] Moises Caicedo - New contract signed until summer 2027 with 1 year extra option.

    Someone asked it before on here but I don't think anyone responded, but is there a reason it only seems to be London clubs actively pursuing our players? Purely the location and proximity to the south coast? More money to throw around? Better relationships with their owners as a result of said...

    [Albion] Can we talk about Sanchez ?

    It's just a vibe, duhh! Seriously though, it's difficult to overstate, especially watching that clip from the Liverpool game, just how important a role he plays for us as a sweeper keeper. Having to assess all your options in a nano-second, with 3 opponents pressing high on the edge of your...

    [Albion] Moises Caicedo - New contract signed until summer 2027 with 1 year extra option.

    I think it's very rational to get annoyed by any twitter transfer journo looking to generate engagement/clicks by continually linking our players to top 6 clubs. Ben's just the latest in a long line!

    [Albion] Leandro Trossard SIGNS ON A FOUR-YEAR DEAL

    Agree with that - his numbers aged 20 more than stand-up to what Mitoma was putting out at USG last season.

    [Football] The Dan Burn conundrum

    CMS had that chance to nick an unlikely draw right at the end, but having done the running of two forwards for 70 odd minutes, was too knackered to muster a meaningful strike on goal when presented with it. Kinda summed up his time with us!

    [Albion] Leandro Trossard SIGNS ON A FOUR-YEAR DEAL

    For someone whose best moments in an Albion shirt are frequent enough to make him comfortably our top scorer over the past 18 months as well as spearheading some of the greatest performances and most memorable results in the club's history, it feels a shame if this is how a lot of fans are going...

    [Music] Billy Joel

    "Anthony's Song" is just a brilliant, brilliant tune. Sets the tone for the rest of that album.
