    [Albion] Low Block is our Achilles heel

    It just seems to be part of the RDZ rollercoaster to me. We'll dominate games then lose after not being able to break down a team who adopt the low block, play a team off the park only to scrape a draw then just as everyone has declared RDZ Potter MK2 we'll absolutely destroy someone in a...

    [Football] British South Asians and football

    I've just watched a friends video online of his Sunday league team taking on a team of predominately British Asians from West London. Nothing particularly remarkable in this but it got me thinking, why are British South Asians so poorly represented in the professional game? A quick Google...

    [TV] Masters Of The Air

    Has anyone seen the film Bombardment (The Shadow in My Eye) It's a Danish film following the ill fated Operation Carthage in Copenhagen. It was quite controversial as it had elements that were actually pure fiction but that aside it's a decent film, had the highest budget of any Danish film...

    [NSC] RIP Hitony

    Very sad to hear, a great contributor to this forum. Thoughts with his family and those of you that knew him personally.

    [Albion] Brighton are too good and will go down one day

    I think it's naïve to think we wont go down at some point but I think we have the structure in place to get back up quickly. If you look at last years relegated teams they look very strong and I'd imagine two will come straight back up, I also think our crowds would stay high so with parachute...

    [Football] Adam Hinshelwood - Worthing to York

    Worthing are doing very well but York is quite a big step up IMO. If he can keep them in the national league this season he has a decent chance of building a team to push for promotion next over the next couple of seasons IMO.

    [Football] FA CUP 5th round 2024

    Couldn't agree more, they've won seven matches to get to this stage including beating one of the best teams outside of the top flight. They're also the lowest ranked team to reach this stage in 45 years. Really deserved a prime time slot in my opinion, I hope they can defy the odds and make the...

    [Albion] Most improved player so far this season?

    Van Hecke. I'm always patient with young players but there were times early on where I thought he was way out of his depth and wouldn't make the grade. He's arguably one of our most important players now and has a huge future. The transformation of Hinslewood after Villa away can't be...

    [Albion] What was it today?

    I might have been stretching it with 'real talent' but they certainly have players who would perform a great deal better outside of Dyche's boring set up. DCL has shown his talent in the past and would score goals in a team with a more positive approach, Mykolenko, Onana, Doucouré and...

    [Albion] What was it today?

    I'd have been satisfied with a point before kick off. Dyche sets his teams up like he's managing a lower league team in the FA Cup, I kind of respected that approach at Burnley with the players he had at his disposal but with an expensively assembled squad with some real talent it feels like...

    [Albion] Are Roma any good ?

    I think they will be our biggest test so far in our European adventure, if we can keep it tight or even take an advantage in to the 2nd leg I fancy our chances but I think they have the potential to do damage in the first leg, they look very decent since Jose left. Another great draw though...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton *** Official Match Thread ***

    I'm normally focused on our own game but I'll be keeping one eye on Palace's game. Lose and they are right in the mix for relegation but a win see them only a few wins from safety

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton *** Official Match Thread ***

    Have a bad feeling about today to be honest, if Everton can get to half time level or in front I don't thing we'll get anything out of the game. I thing it's a game where we will have to make our domination count, take an early lead and then they'll probably crumble. They showed against...

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    To be fair when he was in power he made the threat to cut the US' contribution and Germany increased their % as a result. The old saying of 'a stopped clock is right twice a day' can definitely be applied to Trump but I agree with stance on NATO contributions as well his views on Iraq. It's a...

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    I think if there was a major conflict that required drafts they'd be enough volunteers to double our military size. Much is made of the size of our Army compared to our allies and potential enemies but I feel the British army is more about quality over quantity. Russia have shown that having...

    [Football] Swindon Town - 18th in League Two

    I seemed to have formed an irrational rivalry with Swindon based on our playoff game 20 years ago but putting that aside Swindon must be a contender for biggest under achievers in English football. Big, predominantly working class railway town with the closest rival being Reading yet one...
