    [Albion] Bournemouth fans

    I was chatting to someone on a dog walk the other day and he was saying a lot of Bournemouth fans see us as their rivals now.

    [Football] Joey Barton

    Moronic comments but I do feel pundits should be selected on merit not just to tick a box. Feels like the bbc are particularly guilty of an approach that borders on tokenism. I think the best balance in punditry is when you have a couple who have been there and done it with someone from outside...

    [Albion] What is De Zerbi’s target and can we meet it?

    Aston Villa wage bill £99.8 million (6th) Brighton wage bill £47.2 million (15th) I know there's an argument that says money isn't everything but it's difficult to compete when their budget is more than twice ours.

    [Albion] Jack Hinshelwood [9/4/24: new deal to 2028]

    Very pleased for the lad, playing Central defence as an 18 year old takes some balls from RDZ especially after a difficult away game at Villla, keeps improving and clearly has abrught future. For those picking apart his performances and highlighting errors, I think you need to wind your necks...

    [Other Sport] How many points have you got on your driving licence?

    I'm a pretty terrible driver but have managed to pick up zero points and have had no accidents in the 23 years I've been driving!

    I've been dipping my breadstick into a Smelly minger for years!

    [Albion] Would failing to qualify for a European competition this season be a disaster?

    For me maintaining top flight football for another decade or so should be our aim, if we get an occasional European season then fantastic. This year finishing in the top 7 looks incredibly tough but that won't be the case every year. Next season we will be much better placed to target a top...

    [Albion] Are we through to the next round?

    I don't think that's right. Beat Marseille, we make the last 16, finish behind them, a play off against 3rd places champions league team....lose that game and we're out of Europe. Unless I've misunderstood, there's no path to europa conference for us now??!!

    [Albion] Positives from today (AEK Away)

    Probably our worst performance in 18 months but through to the knockouts from arguably the toughest group in the competition.....incredible stuff

    [Music] Shane Macgowan RIP

    My friend met him in a pub in Sutton about 15 years ago and spent the evening with him and his friends. She shared some incredible photos on Facebook as the night unfolded! Apparently he was given 6 months to live in the early nineties during a dark time in his life so quite some innings...

    [Albion] No trains for Brentford

    For those who are able, a march from Brighton to Falmer could be in order. Would be some spectacle with 10's of thousands of fans protesting along the way

    [Albion] Which one word best describes how you feel after that mental game v Forest today?

    Very happy, I thought we were nailed on to lose. Fantastic to win after falling behind so early and to hold on away from home after losing Dunk. I can see why RDZ and the players celebrated like they did, fantastic result.

    Happy to write this off as a 2 nil loss and go into Thursday with some fire in our bellies. Today eill be very tough.

    Immigration soaring

    Come in for a term or two, make very few changes of note while the economy goes through its natural period of recovery post downturn. The economic cycle will return us towards a slump just in time for everyone to decide that the free market capitalists are probably better positioned to lead the...

    Haha we just do it over night or grab a coffee at a service station.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    I wasnt really referencing that particular deal just suggesting that some of the higher costs associated with leasing/purchasing is probably offset by the much cheaper running costs. In our experience its something like 10 x cheaper in electricity cost compared to petrol for the same miles.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    I don't know how others are finding costs with regards to home charging but with a smart tariff 270 miles (80%) charge cost us on average under £10 in electricity. If you were doing 500 miles per week I suspect the saving on fuel would go quite some way to offset the additional outlay. We...

    [Albion] "Finest night in 122 years"

    Hereford was probably the most important fixture in our history but in terms of prestige the FA Cup in 1983 was surely the biggest, would have been watched by millions around the world at a time when it still meant a lot.
