    [Albion] Maty Ryan, what a keeper

    Absolutely agree. Stockdale was excellent but I remember being distinctly unimpressed with him the first season. He’s making world class saves and looking very solid all round. Have to say I’ve been very impressed by all our new players this season. Great advert for our recruitment team. Now...

    [Football] Izzy Brown Go Home

    At the very least I’d give him more than the odd 10 minutes. Gross was below par last night and bringing Brown on for 20/30 minutes would have been a good idea, I think. Might also consider bringing him as sub for Murray too when he tires to shake up the formation? We’ve got great pace on the...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Top job by our negotiators to beat the EU down from €100bn to €50bn! Guess Boris told them to “go whistle” for the balance? What a shambles this government and Brexit process are turning out to be.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Albion] Player ratings vs Palace

    Pretty much spot on, I think. I’d like to see the subs on a bit earlier normally. Tonight Murray and Gross were below par but putting Hemed and Brown for just a few minutes seems pointless to me. And when are we ever going to score from a corner!? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Politics] Hammond's Budget

    Don’t worry. Whatever happens with Brexit we can rely on JC to finish off the job...... looking forward to a winter (decade?) of discontent (where have I heard that one before? Oh yes, the seventies when we last had a socialist government!). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Albion] Penalty?

    Agree with your first point but I wasn’t suggesting that it affected Mason’s decision re the penalty. Don’t think he got a clear enough view of it. Don’t agree with your second point. Are you really suggesting that Murray was entitled to make a potentially leg breaking challenge just because he...

    [Albion] Penalty?

    Agree with this. Mason had a crap game but I don’t entirely think he was at fault for not giving the penalty as Shawcross was pretty much blocking his view though the linesman should have seen it anyway. Think Murray is a great goal poacher but he does commit a lot of fouls (most in...

    [Albion] Anthony Knackered?

    Knocky is very much a flair player feeding on confidence which has seemed lacking from the off this season. Think part of the problem is that Bruno isn’t getting up the pitch as much so AK is getting the ball much further back than he did last season and has more to do to get past defenders...

    [TV] Rodney Bewes dies aged 79

    I remember that episode. Bob had to give a sample but Terry offered to give his instead without telling Bob he’d had ten pints already. My god, Bob said, it’s got a head to it......! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Politics] Brexit

    I’m beginning to think this is the worst government in living memory and I can remember as far back as Alec Douglas-Home..... It’s so bad I’m even considering the unthinkable and voting for Corbyn and/or emigrating (assuming anyone still wants the Brits). #despairing Sent from my iPhone...

    [Albion] Player ratings - Southampton (H)

    Think I’d agree with the OP and give 6s all round given a very flat performance in a rather boring game. Harsh to moan and allocate blame for the goal. Next to impossible to avoid giving away some free kicks around the box and it was an excellent free kick though we were unlucky with the...

    [Albion] "Chris Hughton's Brighton, who were brilliant throughout..."

    Yes, we played very well but the key moment was Izquierdo scoring just before half time, against the run of play really. This really knocked the stuffing out of them and they were pretty dire after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Football] The PL/Championship 'gulf'

    Got to agree with this. The demands of the two divisions are different and teams invariably change personnel dramatically when they move between them so comparisons are pretty difficult. In all the games I’ve watched at Brighton so far I’ve been struck by the extra pace of the Premier League...

    [Politics] have the right amount of kids you can afford, or should the govt stump up costs?

    Absolutely right and perhaps I can state the bl*****ing obvious and state that government has no money of its own so it comes down to whether taxpayers should subsidise people who have more children than they can afford, perhaps to get more benefits or up their entitlement to better housing...

    [Albion] Michael Oliver - Referee for Man City game [and Everton]

    Michael Oliver - Referee for Man City game Always a bit reluctant to criticise refs given my view up in the Upper East stand but he seemed to be particularly anti-Murray!? He gave umpteen fouls against him although Murray didn’t seem to me to be particularly at fault most of the time...

    [Football] Player ratings vs Everton

    Annoying when you have to agree (almost) 100%! Our threats last season came very much from the wide men, particularly Knocky, and neither Solly or Knocky seem able or willing to push forward in the way they did last season. Am sure that’s partly because Bruno and Suttner are under greater...

    [Football] Player ratings vs Everton

    Pretty much agree with this assessment though marks for Stephens and Propper are a bit harsh. Propper did some excellent work today and looks very creative on occasions. Lack of goal threat is a real worry. Izquierdo might make the difference though we’ve got no one capable of getting on the...
