    [Albion] Albion Women

    You're probably right. I live in Mid Sussex and I can't really be arsed with Crawley even though it's, what, a 20 minute drive for me. I've never really been bothered by watching the women's team but I'm starting to think about it this season (yeah, I know: bad fan) therefore I'm sure plenty of...

    [Football] Graham potter turns down Ajax ...

    When you earn that sort of money, your accountants tend to find ways of minimising that 47% liability, don't they?

    [Albion] Premer League 2-4/11/24

    Weird sort of game. I get that Fulham dominated possession, but for all that, I really didn't think they looked particularly good. It was like watching early Potter era Albion: keep the ball, pass it endlessly around the box and shoot on sight rather than actually creating any good...

    [Sussex] Who’s Going to Lewes Bonfire Celebrations Tomorrow?

    Well they don't go putting it on the posters, do they :rolleyes: Of course there are contingency plans for terrorist incidents for Lewes, and for Pride, and, yes, for Albion games. I'm blown away that you think the police wouldn't consider that scenario when planning. Pride in particular...

    [Albion] Yasin Ayari

    Ayari is a great reminder to us all of the need to show patience with signings, especially the younger ones. Just because somebody takes a few games to get up to speed, or has an underwhelming loan spell immediately after moving to a new country and probably away from their parents for the first...

    [Film] Who are the greatest MOVIE VILLAINS of all time ? Your top 3

    Not many women in this thread, so may I present to you: Annie Wilkes. Absolutely terrifying.

    [Albion] Positives from Tonight (Liverpool Home)

    Palace game moved to the Sunday which means I can go.

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    Baleba's conceded two penalties this season. Those are mistakes, but he's not getting the same level of stick. Perhaps it's just recency bias, but I don't remember a load of people calling Baleba out. I'm not saying Baleba deserves abuse, by the way, clearly not. Simply that Wieffer doesn't...

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    Yes, from the rational people who are prepared to actually think about things. But plenty of completely irrational bollocks from others, which is what irks me.

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    Funnily enough, I thought Rutter looked lost in his first couple of appearances. But- who knew!- once he had game time and presumably realised he had the patience and trust of the manager, he's started to look like he really belongs in the PL, and just as importantly, he believes he belongs...

    [Football] Graham potter turns down Ajax ...

    Or, there were terms in his severance agreement with Chelsea that meant if he took another PL job within that 18 month period, he'd be liable to lose his payout. Put yourself in his shoes. Say he took a job at another club who were in relegation trouble (which is when most clubs need new...

    [Albion] Tariq Lamptey

    I fear you're screaming into the void here, given the level of shit another player has received for a single misplaced pass at the weekend!

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    Which is mental....one player, one mistake (and let's be honest: the defence didn't cover themselves in glory for that Wolves goal either but nobody seems to flag that up)...anybody who gives him abuse or suggests he needs to redeem himself really needs to take a long hard look at themselves...

    I learned, conversely, that if you don't pay the ferryman until he gets you to the other side, you'll be sitting at Dover for a very long time.

    [Football] Graham potter turns down Ajax ...

    He's clearly got something about him. But his options are somewhat limited. Now that United (Ashworth in particular) have laid their Amorim cards on the table, he's not getting that job (unless Amorim turns them down, which would be HILARIOUS), and the only other Big Six club that might...

    [Albion] Brighton unlimited 10

    It'll be deliberate though, won't it? Most clubs have far more luxurious home changing rooms than they provide for the away team. The Albion are no different, other than the away dressing room at the Amex isn't the size of a breeze block shed that looks more at home on Hackney Marshes like that...

    [Food] Best places to eat Breakfast in Sussex

    I'd agree with that, after many a visit during shifts over the years! Wayfield Park Farm cafe at Pyecombe always did a great breakfast- not been for a year or so but I've never heard any bad reviews. Nice location too.

    [Football] Pompey

    Another OG to help them on their way too. It would be delightful if, after spending all those years trying to rid themselves of the Lower League Pompey tag following their undeserved, ill-gotten Premier League period, they got relegated back to the nether regions of the Football League after one...
