    [Albion] Julio Enciso - Paraguay’s new wonder kid (Signed 17/06/2022)

    There is zero chant of him signing a new deal then going on loan to the Championship.

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

    Bart - 20m Dunk - 0 Webster - 20m Hinsh - 0 Estupinan - 15m Baleba - 15m?? Ferdi - 25m Wiefer - 25m Mitoma - 5m?? Welbeck - 0 Rutter - 40m 165m, so not exactly bargain-basement stuff. Although if we'd had our best defender and attacker available, that'd have reduced the total by about 30m.

    [Albion] What's happened to Adam Webster.

    Yes, the narrative that Webster's error turned Cole Palmer into a world-class player is a load of bollocks. We'd have lost that game regardless.

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    Whilst I don't want to give solace to a Palace fan, new signings rarely hit the ground running. It usually takes a few months to get going and show their value regardless of their transfer fee and experience. Of all the succesful signings we've made over the last few years, there's few I can...

    [Albion] Hürzeler’s (Brighton) Tactics

    Fab is young (has it been mentioned?) and therefore less likely to be stuck in his ways. I’ve only seen the MOTD highlights, but even from that sample it’s clear that our back line needs give a few yards. I’d be amazed if he, the coaches and senior players don’t tweak things before next week...

    [Albion] Cole Palmer

    Depends if Chelsea face PSR sanctions. I have a feeling that they’ll be looking at the outcome of the City case quite nervously.

    [Albion] How long will YOU give Fab before calling for his head

    The 400m hurdler off of the 80s?

    [Albion] Sold the best players, shit in defence, shit in attack, with a shit manager and in real trouble

    That was our first season in the Premier League when they had the De Boer experiment and sacked him after about 5 games. Hodgson did a decent job in turning them around but I think the significant factor was that Zaha missed the first 7 games that season. Once he was back they started scoring...

    [Albion] How long will YOU give Fab before calling for his head

    And that team was absolutely flying at the Potter left. It must be incredibly rare for a manager to inherit a team on such a good run and full of confidence. Hurdler certainly didn’t.

    Fulham and then a few days later Roma?

    [Albion] If Graham Potter is re-appointed...

    If you believe the reports, it’s next month. Although it’s 800K gross, so that’s a mere 425K net. This tallies with other reports that he’s pocketing 10m over 2 years for only 6 months work.

    [Albion] If Graham Potter is re-appointed...

    Yes. Although, there are some people for whom winning the lottery is not a good thing and they end up pissing it all away on drink, drugs, cars, etc. I'm willing however to predict that Potter's 10m is tucked away in a diversified porfolio of investments and earning him a very tidy passive income.

    [Albion] If Graham Potter is re-appointed...

    I'd imagine that being financially secure for life in your mid 40s and being able to wait for the right opportunity to come along whilst picking and choosing the occasional bit of punditry would be a good quality life, to be honest.

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

    I certainly hope not. But it’s possible that the whole outcome will come down to a few thousand people in Pennsylvania who aren’t normally particularly politically engaged. Who knows how motivated they will be to vote for or against Trump in 6 weeks!

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

    It’s just a gut feeling, but I reckon that the 7-8 week period between that debate and election day is long enough for swing voters to forget what a disaster Trump was.

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

    Polling numbers are still tighter than a gnat’s chuff. I have a gut feeling that Harris needs to land a few more big punches and that if she doesn’t, the polling bounce she got from the debate win will swing back on Trump’s favour by the end of October. It’s hard to see how she might do this...

    Actually that’s LOLs. The bloke who runs the Albion Roar Twitter/X is a pompous bellend.

    [Football] This rule about the linesman not putting his flag up for offside until the passage of play has finished

    In this case, the lino must've judged that they weren't offside, no? The lino delays flagging in case the potentially offside player scores from that passage of play, in which case it's checked by VAR anyway, and if he doesn't then he flags. I recorded the game yesterday but have only had the...

    [Albion] Jack Hinshelwood [9/4/24: new deal to 2028]

    Maybe, but I reckon that timing is something that's probably more of a natural instinct than something that can be coached. Frank Lampard certainly had it and as a result was one of the, if not the, highest scoring Premier League midfielders of his generation.

    [Football] Haaland red?

    No card was given, so it does leave the door open for a retrospective red card. I wouldn't hold your breath though.
