    [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..

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

    I think that was my point.. it was a performance that was OK but was far more competitive than I feared it would be (hence it was positive vs. expectations) , but couldn't really complain that the best team won on the day. Maybe it was the lower expectations given recent labours and injuries...

    [Albion] Paul Barber signs new six-year extension

    That might be the most important "signing" we make this year..

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

    This was how I felt with the loss at the Emirates in January.. we were ultimately well-beaten by a top side but still in the game until the end, but no cause for anger or frustration through bad luck, poor officiating or a horrible mistake. It was the right result based on the relative...

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

    No complaints from me .. not quite good enough but “in the game” with Salah off form. Only real disappointment is Pervis and his complete loss of form. Quite sad to watch but is a bit of a liability atm..

    [Albion] Assault in away end

    Irish bar night before the Roma game and a bloke with a beard (looked like a big Ian Holloway!!) suddenly decided to throw a beer over group of younger lads.. presumably to get a reaction which it did albeit maybe not to the extent he hoped for with others including bar staff calming it down...

    [Albion] Info for AS Roma fans for Thursday

    Now you've clarified "Lighter touch than Palace" I agree!! I'm not trying to set it up as a particularly threatening or unpleasant experience, just it was heavier than plenty of other games we've all been to including Amsterdam. (y)

    [Albion] Info for AS Roma fans for Thursday

    I think "light touch" is a little generous. the barking dogs, riot shields and number of checks felt to me to be a little over the top compared to other matches. Amsterdam was definitely light touch and "low-profile", but this was significantly heavier than that. That said, no-one was unpleasant...

    [Albion] Info for AS Roma fans for Thursday

    Not sure I get the "tit for tat " sentiment either. If it is abused by them then that is on them, and the acceptance/indulgence of the Ultras at some continental clubs creates the strategy employed by the security forces tasked with dealing with it. Its just easier to be S**t to smaller number...

    [Albion] Lallana's Post-Match Interview

    Nothing wrong with this interview.. the team is off the pace and is struggling to be consistent relative to recent levels . He's come out of the dressing room where clearly there has been a lot said and and if he's struggling to look comfortable he's very conscious about the things he doesn't...

    [Albion] Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Fair point, recognised your form but hadnt quite grasped how close you were to top 7 but I think either of us qualifying for Europe is probably unrealistic however accept Cup is always difficult given Big 6 always win it..

    [Albion] Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    typically pessimistic for this one (I find my BHA-supporting football life easier that way!!) but this is a big game for Wolves given they are safe and nothing major to aim for (Europe qualification not realistic through PL) . This isnt our biggest game in the next 7 days and, whilst we are as...
