    Hope Frankie doesn't come back with a mullet :lolol:

    [News] John Prescott RIP

    Indeed. Angela Rayner is probably closest in the modern Labour party but doesn't quite have his charisma. A decent, hard-working politician who gave many years of service ... and gave us Falmer too. And a Welshman to boot - Gorffwys mewn heddwch

    [Albion] Aston Vanilla tickets

    I'm going on a supporters coach for the first time in more than 40 years - I couldn't be doing with the expense of train and hotel. I've never been to Villa Park before - not sure why, as I've been to all the other midlands clubs - quite looking forward to this one (even though we've lost seven...

    [TV] What's good to watch on BBC iPlayer ?

    ... not at this point anyway. Rich, Gardiner and Wriothesley, the villains of the piece, all lived to relative old age and died peacefully

    [Albion] Aston Vanilla tickets

    We stayed there for a night in the summer - it was pretty decent for a cheapish hotel

    [Football] Ruairi McConville

    John Napier (and no relation to Kit) We had Napier and O'Sullivan as our sole internationals in my early days of watching the Albion

    [Other Sport] Borthwick OUT

    I tried that last time I went to Twickenham and got hopelessly lost. I ended up at Twickenham station anyway, just about 40 minutes later than everyone else My usual escape is walking to Richmond and, before it was closed, stopping for a drink in The Triple Crown, and then hopping on a tube...

    [Brighton] Thank You

    It was a good night - who'd have thought that a DULLARD could be so interesting? The most astonishing revelation to me was that the club is currently planning up to 2030; there's looking ahead and there's Brighton looking ahead

    [Misc] Do they know it's Christmas?

    Or earlier. I was in a cafe on 29 October and they were playing Christmas records. By the time they reached Coming Home for Christmas, I was ready to smash something. Mind you, this was in Worthing, so I should be grateful they weren't playing Vera Lynn

    [Albion] Man City team news

    I know. It's like that Saltor we signed a few years back, never saw sight of the pitch - Bruno took his place and that was that

    [Albion] Fabian Hürzeler : nth longest serving manager

    Guardiola's not a Football League manager and Robins is the manager who's served longest in the Football League, rather than the longest serving manager in the Football League Harsh sacking though: he surely has credit in the bank

    [Misc] As if today couldn't have got any worse...

    Woke up this morning to find there was no power downstairs and couldn't fix it on the breaker board. I suspect the rat (or rats) has chewed through the cable somewhere. What else can go wrong?

    [Misc] As if today couldn't have got any worse...

    I clocked the news this morning and, bleary eyed, went into the kitchen to find a rat staring at me. We rats in the summer and got pest control to get rid but just when you think you've got rid of vermin, they come back. I suppose it's a bit like what's happening in the USA

    [Albion] Brighton match report on 'Have I Got News For You' every week

    Remember that game, it was the last time that I went to a Brighton match with the ex-Mrs Gwylan (TBF, she'd only been to two previous games, so it wasn't as if she was a regular). Really sticks in the mind, that game

    [Football] Champions League 2024/25

    The ref in Portugal gave a shocking penalty to Citeh, possibly the softest you'll see this season - fortunately Haaland missed so justice was served. No evidence there that the CL refs are better

    [Albion] Your football ancestry

    Born in Brighton, raised in Brighton. Taken to my first match by my dad (losing to Walsall 3-2). He wasn't a big football fan, much preferring cricket but he knew how much I wanted to go and took the day off work to take me. Sadly, my kids aren't that interested in the Albion but at least they...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    There's a lot of noise from both sides but I stick to what I've thought for the past month - Harris will win the most votes and Trump will win the election. Can't see anything to shake that view

    [Humour] Unfortunate Brand Names

    Three years ago, a finance company launched, with great fanfare, in the UK. Within a couple of days, they withdrew and considered their position. I can't think why Nonce Finance wasn't a big hit over here.
