    [Drinking] The Pub Debate - Weatherspoons

    Yep, often frequented The Cross Keys back in the day. There is a really good Spoons in Canary Wharf too. As for the concept, well they have their place and frankly my two student kids always go to our local spoons to meet friends in the evening. Not surprising really, given the prices...

    [Football] A nod to Aston Villa

    Can't say I like Villa but I will admit the Holte end is the best kop in the country (so must be rocking these days) and Unai Emery is a proven, fantastic manager - one of the best in the world. I will of course laugh my tits off when it all goes wrong eventually. Hopefully by Emery going to...

    [Albion] ******** Brighton U21s thread ********

    I presume the Nigels fixture secretary misread the game as an U12 match and consequently played all their Year 8s? I'm sure normal service will resume when we play them in the women's super league next Sunday. Palace have played two games and conceded *checks notes* eleven and scored none...

    [Albion] ******** Brighton U21s thread ********

    That's all very amusing but imagine the lols if we absolutely hammer them in the WSL as well as U21 level in the space of two weeks. They will look even more of an absolute village operation compared to us. Plus we won't see Dougie on here for weeks. With Palace looking absolute toss at all...

    [Albion] ******** Brighton U21s thread ********

    Palace U21 coach: Even though they're a much better club in every way, I can't believe we've just shipped 10 goals to Brighton. Palace WSL coach next weekend: Hold my beer.

    I'm not actually sure these days. He might be, but he can only play about 20 minutes at a time so probably not.

    [Football] Premier League table, Premier League table on the wall...

    Obviously not Palace as they are going to be challenging for the top 4 - we all know this because of the end of last season where they were so good they beat 11th placed Albion by one place and one point. Clearly Palace are going places - Rome, Istanbul and Prague I should think. I am just...

    [Football] The Championship.

    Why are these fire drills so commonplace nowadays? They were never a thing back in the day except for extreme circumstances. Is it that modern stadia (not sure why) and crowds being twice the size of what they were in the 80s both contribute to a feeling of needing to beat the crowds?

    [Other Sport] Do you know who Shohei Ohtani is?

    Obviously I have because I follow baseball. I think he is probably referenced on the baseball thread for his 50-50 record breaking season. What a player he is though.

    [Other Sport] Favourite Russell

    I'd vote for Martin as he's doing an amusing job at Southampton. Shit enough to get relegated this season, but too good to prevent Portsmouth's wet dream of league games against them for the first time in about 12 years or whatever. He's also Brightonian. The problem is that I also find him...

    [Albion] Premier League 5-6/10/24

    Correct, but you do have to think his luck is going to run out at some point. The headline this week was that their board were going to stick with him, so all those useless sacks of shit he puts out are going to stand down on their efforts for now and Vanilla will win comfortably. I think...

    [Other Sport] MLB 2024 Season

    I'm a Blue Jays fan somewhat jaded by this season, but it's also worth noting that not to try hitting the ball is usually by choice. In short and unlike cricket, runs are the precious commodity, not outs. Therefore the batter is picky with what he tries to hit - given that he has three chances...

    [Albion] Stoke 6 P*rtsm**th 1

    "It might not last long". Well it's feeling like quite a while these days, and Portsmouth in particular continue to be utter gash and the laughing stock of the region. South Coast Championship for the past few years, with league positions: 23/24 BHA 11 Bumfluff 12 Stains 24 #Twats ROFL...

    [Albion] Stoke 6 P*rtsm**th 1

    This really is excellent news. But excitement in the hope that they drop back to league one where they belong is somewhat tempered by the fact they are probably in a false position. They have played all of last season's relegated sides and the only one of those that they lost to was Burnley...

    [Football] Champions League 2024/25

    I'm not sure that's the fault of the new format. The opening group games have always been dull, lop sided affairs. Although it's always nice seeing the old firm absolutely spanked. Who'd have thought Celtic would struggle against clubs that aren't basically pub teams?
