    [News] Doctor surgery wait times

    In my local medical centre - if i turn up there and wait outside and be prepared to queue for about 15 mins (7.45am wait for 8am) - then you get appointments normally that morning within the hour. If you call at 8am its a bit of a lottery but some same day appointments are available. As with...

    The forlorn League Cup away to Spurs - we barely had a sniff. Harry Kane scored his first of many goals versus the Albion.

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    I keep remembering all the players we signed and then discarded ... Paddy McCourt ! Nzuzi Toko ! - never played ! Al Habsi - played once during a mad goalkeeper / loan crisis !!

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

    Boybands Forever is a terrific , moving documentary at times and doesn't shy away from conflict or the negatives. It also has the best opening to a music documentary in quite a while. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0024qbx/boybands-forever-series-1-episode-1

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    I think it all started to go wrong - recruitment wise - when Stephen Ward understandably changed his mind at the last minute and chose PL football with Burnley. And weren't we close to signing Lewis Grabban from Bournemouth but he went to Norwich instead ?

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    Adrian Colunga , who seemed exciting (Spanish !, er, thats it) is now 40 years old, barely played any more football for a variety of clubs - including incredibly a couple of appearances for Goa ! - after leaving the Albion and retired in 2017.

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    Yes Me. ! I wrote a over optimistic piece for the Seagull Love Review rather prematurely suggesting he had a touch of the Mark Lawrensons about him.

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    Yes. Of course David Burke was sacked on Xmas Eve - Hallelujah - once Tony had come back from Australia to hold the ultimately successful chats with Hughton. Someone called Paul Winstanley emerged as his replacement. Whatever happened to him ?

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    It was freezing, depressing and there were loads of empty seats. Goal scorer was Lee Gregory.

    Joe Bennett is still a professional footballer but probably not what Sami had in mind at the time.

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    Yes. What do they say. The darkest hour is just before the ....sight of Solly March scoring exactly the same type of goal he'd later score against Palace and Liverpool in the Premier League ...

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    I'm sure i've seen somehwere in a lovely graph - and still surprised to this day - that the player budget actually went down that season. and i think it was the only year in Bloom era that this was the case. Have you ever worked out why or the rationale for that ? (David Burke ? Expected...

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    The bleakest night ever at the Amex . (I'm writing a piece for that Dogma marking 10 years since Hyypia - 2 Ys not 2Ps - resigned. "A very honourable man " said Tony Bloom at the time, His worst ever move . Says well ? Most of us i guess. ) Sammy Lee ! The loans ! The inexplicable strikers...

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    Also the only home game before Christmas is the Palace one on Sun 15 December. So if they're singing outside it will be next to a massive police cordon and a load of horses. Not fun i imagine.
