    [Albion] Knockaert

    All I said was I find him very frustrating to watch because his impact should be greater given his obvious natural ability. He’s hardly being ‘hammered’.

    [Travel] Favourite US City / Town

    We stayed at the Hermitage, wonderful hotel and a great location for Broadway and the main sights.

    [Albion] Knockaert

    Agreed that there’s no question he has the ability, but in 40 years of watching the Albion I have never been so frustrated with a player who should be more than he is.

    [Albion] Knockaert

    And I guess that’s the point I’ve tried to make through of the stats. No one ever ‘fooking loves’ Solly March, and no one ever will. He carries out instructions to the letter, i’m sure, but will never excite me. And that’s why I go to football.

    [Albion] Knockaert

    At the weekend, fair enough. But we routinely see ‘shut up shop’ substitutions at the Amex, which is what I was referring to. Not just the one game.

    [Albion] Knockaert

    Of course he doesn’t, because by the time he gets on the pitch there’s 20 minutes left, our strikers have been replaced by holding midfielders and we’re camped in our own half defending for our lives. There’s no one to create chances for! I don’t think this is a fair comparison unless they’re...

    [Help] Missing cat

    I assume you have added to National Pet Register? Our cat went missing in February but we still get sightings from time to time. Heartbreaking when it’s a false alarm though. Good luck.

    [Albion] Knockaert

    You’re right I don’t get it. All I know is that from 12 starts Knocky has 4 assists, whereas from 21 starts March has just one more. By my logic, with 21 starts in all probability Knocky gets more than 5 assists? And I don’t consider lobbing a ball into an empty box without looking up, as...

    [Albion] Knockaert

    Love Knocky, one of the few players we have that gets me out of my seat. And I fancy that with the same number of minutes on the pitch as Solly, he’d create at least as many assistants/chances.

    [Travel] Favourite US City / Town

    Went to Nashville and Memphis in November. Nashville has now replaced Vegas as my favourite city to visit in the US. My number one recommendation is to get yourself a ticket for a gig at the Bluebird Cafe if you can. Fabulous evening of top drawer country. The Opry was a very different but...

    [Drinking] Dry January [and beyond...]

    Giving up for the rest of the month. Had no I intention of doing so, but having been a very mild gout sufferer (one or two episodes a year) I’ve had it twice since Boxing Day. Don’t know if booze is my trigger, but it can’t be helping.

    [Albion] Shots on target

    According to Opta a shot on target is not counted if the player making the block isn’t the last man

    [Albion] Match of the Day

    This. Isn’t it amazing how often the opposition ‘under perform’ when they play us. We seem to be everyone’s bad day at the office!

    [Albion] Todays Ref Kevin Friend

    The away he let them ‘manage’ the four minutes added time was disgraceful - how long was the ball active during that time? 1 minute?

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

    Agree, but week on week this season it’s dawning on me that most teams in the Premier League (including the top 6) aren’t actually all that and with our commitment and organisation we are more than a match for them?

    [Albion] Matthew Ryan poppy shirt - black

    I didn't believe them either....to the credit of the company who managed the mailing for the charity, they kept the pressure on the courier and updated me regularly. That probably helped with the 'recovery'.

    [Albion] Matthew Ryan poppy shirt - black

    Good news. After a company-wide search, the couriers have found the missing shirt 'on the floor' of one of their depots. When I went to collect it, they couldn’t elaborate on why it had taken three weeks to locate it, or how it had become removed from the packaging in the first place. But I’ve...

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

    He’s right. Lack of ambition on 90 minutes was shocking.

    [Albion] *For SAIL - Matt Ryan SINGED shirt*

    Not offended or upset in the slightest - as stated in my original post, fully expected it!

    [Albion] Matthew Ryan poppy shirt - black

    True, but the hole they made was big enough to pull a shirt through, not an A4 piece of card! I see the equivalent De Gea shirt is currently going for more than £2K...might be worth someone ITK opening a few speculatively, to see who they get?
