    How would promotion change our club long term?

    Fair point. Go to very few away games these days though have been to a fair few grounds over the years. Agree that our offering is no worse than most. Appreciate that mass catering is difficult and guess that my views are coloured by my perception that the pies have deteriorated over the past...

    How would promotion change our club long term?

    I'd settle for some better pies and a bit more imagination all round on the catering front. An awful lot of people bring their own food and drink which speaks volumes for current quality...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Today's championship games - Newcastle, Huddersfield and Reading watching

    If we win our next two then it won't matter what Huddersfield do unless they can win all their games by a cricket score..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Player ratings vs Birmingham (h)

    Think this marking is pretty realistic. I thought both Bong and Bruno looked pretty rusty (understandably?) and Bruno made some very uncharacteristic passes which were well over hit. 5 for AK is a bit harsh though. He did some good link up play and helped open up the Brum defence several times...

    David Moyes to be SACKED over comments

    Personally I'd like to slap all the PC police irrespective of gender, race or religion. Does that make me PC or what!? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Politics] Brexit

    Badly written letter all round in my view. There should be no room for ambiguities in a letter like this and the grammar is pretty poor too. Looks like it was written by a fourth former still getting to grips with formal writing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who is your player of the season

    Personally I'd like to give the whole team the award. I can't think of one player who has let us down this season and it's a classic case of the team being greater than the sum of its parts. Yes, we've got some eye-catching players but they've all played their part in a magnificent season...

    Team for Blackburn

    Tricky one isn't it. Solly has been sensational in short bursts but not over 90 minutes so far. I've really felt we've missed Skalak's set piece delivery though and it's a mystery to me why we've scored so rarely from them. Then there's Murphy who offers more direct running and goals, though...

    Could a terrorist be living/staying next door to you?

    She looks very suspicious to me. Look at the tan!? Clearly she's been somewhere very hot recently. I'm happy to volunteer for round the clock surveillance if Mrs. B. alllows me some time off. I regard it as a civic duty.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So, just how rubbish is modern football?

    Can't say I've ever been to any of the grounds you mention, so can't really compare then and now though they still get big crowds, of course. My formative years were spent at a division 2/3 side (Plymouth Argyle) and more recently (80s onwards) at Spurs and Fulham ending up with BHFC. The...

    So, just how rubbish is modern football?

    Don't think I was equating the two. I was simply comparing fans of old with modern day. Clearly it was a sweeping statement that didn't apply to all fans but I'm old enough to remember the 70s and 80s and the rather threatening atmosphere at many grounds, particularly the bigger clubs. By the...

    So, just how rubbish is modern football?

    Yep; I remember the good old days when you took your life in your hands going to a football match. Everyone getting pissed before, during and after the match. Running fights with other fans (or even your own fans); fist fights, knife fights, football "firms" out to maim opposition fans, racist...

    Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United *** Official Match Thread ***

    Baffled by the subs. Kayal hasn't been up to speed at all this season and bringing on March in the last five minutes for Knocky was equally bizarre. Thought we deserved a point (just) but our passing was terrible second half. Looked like we'd lost confidence completely even before the first...

    Same starting 11 as last Saturday night vs Reading?....

    9 times out of 10, I'd go for Murray as the more clinical finisher but I've thought he's looked a little jaded recently and Hemed has been excellent. Some of his touches on Saturday were sublime..... I'm sure CH will make the right call...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you actually support Trump?

    The sad fact is that he was just as bad during his campaign and the TV debates with Hillary and he STILL got elected! The comparison with Corbyn is pretty stark who's equally bad in communicating his ideas with any clarity or conviction. Given Brexit and Trump I'm not discounting any...

    Do you actually support Trump?

    Sums up my thoughts on Trump exactly. How American women or any minorities could bring themselves to vote for him beggars belief let alone believe in his simplistic "solutions" to their problems. Still don't understand why Hillary was so hated but I guess the Americans understand better than...

    Player ratings vs Ipswich (h)

    Agree with this. We looked far more threatening when Akpom came on. Would start him next game.... Surprised at the low marks for Stephens though. Thought he was ok bar a few misplaced passes but pretty much the whole team did that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Albion] Did Knockaert get anything right tonight?

    Good point! It's become the norm for teams to double up on him recently and he still manages to wriggle past them more often than not. He also retrieves the ball far more often than other players due to his constant harrying and was quite unlucky tonight not to turn them into something more...

    I hate valentines day...

    You're lucky! If I don't tell my wife every week how much I love her I can guarantee a major sulk if I transgress in some way (so easy to do too!). Call me mean but I resent the restaurants all doubling their prices for their "special" Valentines menu and then get approached by the local gipsy...
