    [Music] Iconic 80’s anthems. Best openings.

    Some brilliant suggestions on here.. let me add.. U2 _ Where the Streets Have No Name.. not a particular fan of U2 but the intro to this is stunning in my opinion.. (not sure I have the ability to attach a video!)

    [Albion] Arsenal v Brighton & Hove Albion *** SCORE PREDICTOR THREAD ***

    1-3 to Arsenal I'm afraid.. should be a good game and if we were to score 1st then maybe they get a little desperate, but the Gooners are a different beast to previous seasons and I think we are still very open to wide counter-attacks and Arsenal are pretty good at those..

    [Albion] Season Expectations

    Igor can play there but far from an ideal fit I would have thought - within a game maybe. Barco, agreed, had actually forgotten him, but he is still very "green" and given Pervis' recent injury record that feels like a big gamble to me..

    [Albion] Season Expectations

    Pre-season so far hasn't changed my opinion.. anything possible. Still very concerned that we don't have a Left full-back nailed on and the Baleba experiment (then Hinshelwood) on Saturday might hint at the fact that we need a stop-gap until either Pervis and/or Solly fit. It was a concern...

    [Albion] Season Expectations

    As others have said, nothing would necessarily be a surprise.. I have gone for 11-14th given we have a tricky looking start and 0 points after 3 games wouldnt be a huge surprise. That could knock the confidence a little, putting pressure on the games that might look less challenging than the...

    [Albion] Steve Cooper.

    He probably felt the same when O’Neil came in after more “glamorous “ continental appointments..

    [Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

    Don't quite understand such negative reaction to Cooper.. Remember Forest was a basket case for recruitment and Cooper I thought handled that pretty well having been successful in getting them up. Nuno didn't really get much of reaction from the team in terms of performance (Gut feel, not stat...

    [Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

    Its only been a week or so and people questioning the reality or quality of a succession plan? Surely the plan is just that, a plan - it just allows the Club to go about its business in a quiet, coordinated way, but doesn't guarantee that the first people we approach get sorted. Every plan has...

    [Albion] So after all the threads, the should RDZ have gone ? Poll

    "Yes" is my vote. However, it is also OK to acknowledge that I am very sad not to get another season with (hopefully) a fully fit squad, a few new additions and RDZ having gained a heap of experience too. That said, lets take the public narrative at its face-value - this works for us. It has...

    [Albion] Are you going to Man City?

    Going, looking forward to it, low expectations of a result, but love the "what if..." about these games. Everybody will make their own decisons etc. and that's fine by me, but I don't quite get "meh" when we are about to play the current European Champs, The current PL holders, some of the...

    [Football] FA Cup Replays Scrapped

    I'm annoyed by this pandering. My issue with the whole thing is that despite all the apparent fixture hassles and concerns that their CL efforts might be compromised, the biggest clubs still always win the FA Cup.. since 1990 only 5 times has the Cup been won by a Club you wouldn't recognise...

    [Albion] Was it a penalty?

    For those who suggest it was "irrelevant, they would have won anyway", that's a bit simplistic too. The context of the game shifts.. they have what they need, can take less risks, relax on the very high press against which we were having some degree of success and put in a dominant defensive...

    [Albion] Is it weird to “enjoy” a defeat?

    and Saturday was the opposite!!!! Peeved at the referee first half, and whilst I concede that Arsenal were clearly superior regardless, the refereeing 1st half changes the picture of how I feel about a defeat!

    [Misc] HR Nightmare

    This.. similar to "positive intent" mentioned earlier. If the employee is not really committed to the improvements they will tire of the situation before you. There will be frustrations along the way, and important that you are diligent, detailed and consistent to deal with those, but the...

    [Albion] Trossard

    He was a great player in moments. I would liked to have seen more consistency, but his technical ability and finishing was a level above when he joined us. My pantomime reaction is purely that.. I didnt like his attitude where it appeared he fell-out with the club to force his move, but would...

    [Albion] Trossard

    I love the pantomime of a good "BOOOOOOOOOOOO"!! I also think it will be something that gets to Trossard, although I fully expect him to score a belter and stand in front of NS cupping his ears , cue more pantomime gesturing from me. I fully expect Veltman to clobber him at some point...

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

    Hopeful we will get something.. i've predcited 1-1 but feels like we havent won a "tough game" away from home for ages.. (Forest away?) so we must be due one? My last trip to Brentford away, was a Cup game.. and THAT Nelson goal..
