    [Misc] Ben's Grandad Has Passed Away

    Many, many people have sadly passed away since I first registered on NSC all those years ago, but I didn't know any of them personally and I therefore didn't feel moved to post in relation to their passing, sad though it obviously was for their respective friends and family. I didn't personally...

    [Albion] Our passing today...

    I'd rather believe my own eyes than a set of statistics probably compiled by a spotty teenager on minimum wage who is only half watching the game on a grainy TV monitor while also surfing their social media sites on a mobile phone propped up in their lap. What's the old saying? There are lies...

    [Albion] Our passing today...

    I've searched my memory banks ... can't recall the 3 on target, but I'm happy to concede I'm wrong? Can you enlighten me as to which shots they were? Locadia hitting the post is off target, so that isn't one of them. I genuinely can't recall one, let alone three, so maybe you can cheer me up a...

    [Albion] Did you celebrate Albion's "goal"?

    Yep. Leapt out of my seat like I do for every goal. It's instinctive. I don't think I'll ever be able to stop myself, and truthfully I'm not sure I believe those who 'claim' they don't celebrate goals anymore ... especially if your team are playing at home and you are surrounded by people who...

    [Albion] Our passing today...

    I agree our passing was good today, it was also good against West Ham, and although I didn't attend the Watford game I believe it was equally good that day as well. Sadly, our shooting was woeful today, it was equally poor against West Ham .... (I don't know about Watford). Watching Match of...

    [Albion] Ali-J IN! Andone out!

    We need players with his aggression? Do we? Controlled aggression is fine ....... but Andone's aggression is uncontrolled, and a red card waiting to happen every time he plays. I thought he started the game really well today, the best I've seen him play for a long while, but his ludicrous...

    [Albion] Duffy today and Duffy vs Citeh

    :bowdown: Brilliant piece of work in point number 4, subtly suggesting that Stains 2nd goal today was the fault of Montoya just by deference to the fact they were both on the same pitch at the same time! Do I detect a tiny bit of an agenda against Montoya by any chance? ???

    [Albion] Duffy today and Duffy vs Citeh

    I love Dan Burn. His emergence as a genuine EPL player has been the biggest bonus of the early season for me. However .... I do see partly where you're coming from. His inability to stay onside at dead balls has cost us 2 goals already this season, but I don't quite agree that he should be...

    [Albion] Duffy today and Duffy vs Citeh

    To answer this question people should simply watch the Watford away game last season. Start at the point in the match when Bruno goes off injured .........

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    I haven't read every post, the thread is way too long for that, but I've dipped in and out at various points and the argument on here would seem to boil down to spontaneity versus correctness. Sussex Nomad appears to be one of the main cheerleaders for spontaneity over correctness, but his...

    [Albion] MOTD

    The way you were 'jumped on' is most probably a reflection of the extremely low esteem that you are undoubtably held in by most posters on this board as a result of your constant and continual negativity when posting (on match day threads in particular). You are one of a very small band of...

    [Albion] MOTD

    One of the most infuriating things about Sky's coverage yesterday was the amount of times the useless Redknapp and Arsenal ex-employee Scott declared with absolute certainty that it was a clear penalty and Monreal had clearly played the ball. At half time they claimed to have watched the...

    [Football] Cardiff vs Palace

    No Brighton fan I know would rather see Palace lose than Albion stay in the Premier League. You're an imposter. Go back to your own team's board.

    [Albion] Mitrovic in the Summer Window

    I like that blog. It clearly states as a FACT, that Cardiff are looking to spend money in the 2nd tier next season :thumbsup:, and BHA might be involved in a Premier League relegation battle next season. (:down: Truth hurts).

    [Football] Liverpool fans pushing locals into a fountain

    I can trump that. The only time in my life I have ever been held up at knifepoint was in 1980, in Stanley Park Liverpool, as we walked back to my car from having watched BHA play Liverpool at Anfield. They were after my mate's sheepskin coat. I'm not sure either of our experiences contributes...

    [Albion] An ex lurker

    Another of my crew jumps ship. :facepalm: Trust me ... the grass isn't greener ... you'll still spend more time lurking than posting, just like me. :lol:

    [Albion] Team for Saturday v The Toon

    Cast iron certainties in my view will be: Ryan Dunk Duffy Stephens That's a tad disappointing that as many as 7 positions are up for grabs! That is a reflection of how poorly the whole squad has been performing since Xmas. It's a risk, but we have to win, so personally I would start with both...

    [Albion] Full House for Newcastle

    If Cardiff win it will also have an effect on the mood ..... ??? More importantly perhaps, I wonder about the effect it would have on the team? Would they react in a more positive way to a Cardiff win, or a Cardiff loss? I genuinely can't decide how I feel about that?

    [Albion] Wembley a Disappointment

    I am and have been a semi-regular England fan for many many years, so I probably attended the 'old' Wembley Stadium about 5 or 6 times, and this 'new' Wembley probably around 10 to12 times. I like it. It probably helps that I used to work the West and North West London 'manor' for many years...

    [Football] Idiot who threw the bottle (etc...)

    It saddens me to be able to concur with the general theme of this thread. I've been following the Albion since 1962, every cup final, every semi-final, every play off final, zillions of 'ordinary' league matches too, home and away, and I can't remember witnessing so many absurdly drunken...
