    [Albion] Tickets Remaining for FA Cup Semi Final ***About 200 LEFT ON SALE***

    If the rest of City's squad take their entire old schools to Wembley, they might get to 29,000...

    [Albion] For the love of god please go for it Saturday.

    Exactly this, I will already have had a great day by 5.30pm. Day up in London with my daughter, meet some pals, bit of lunch, beer or two, photos with flags in Trafalgar Square and at Wembley...not even a rampant City can f**k that day up. And then the faintest, slight chance of a mental upset...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh

    His role may have been tweaked, but I don't think you can call the way he has been played as a defensive left-sided midfielder. He has played as one of two wide men supporting a main striker (both sides), often receiving the ball furthest up the pitch, plenty of chances to break, beat people...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh

    Did you just tune in to this season yesterday? Anyone reading your post might think Chelsea was his debut, FFS.

    [Albion] Does anyone want to go down to The Championship?

    Agree. It's obviously been fantastic going to some new grounds - which happen to also now be the top grounds/clubs in the country. But some of my favourite awaydays were and remain at the likes of Orient/Plymouth/Exeter/Scunthorpe/Lincoln/Scarborough/Kidderminster etc

    [Albion] Does anyone want to go down to The Championship?

    A Cardiff fan colleague of mine - obviously not in the best of moods currently, and not a big fan of us - reckons we'll just stay up at their expense this season, but that we will definitely go next season. I'd clearly like to think the club will take the necessary action to ensure that doesn't...

    [Albion] Hughton

    I think people need to be braced for some very harsh, public national criticism if we don't give it a go on Saturday. At the moment it is us who watch it regularly who know we can be a bit boring. But it's our club, and so we appreciate good defence and hard earned points on counter attack or...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh

    I think my patience ran out with him finally last night. Look, with a signing like that we all want him to do well and not just slag the guy off prematurely if at all. But just leaving the (for us, huge) investment to one side for a minute, this is the Premier League. As a forward player, you...

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

    If we had have won on Saturday, I wouldn't have been that fussed about such a routine Chelsea win last night. But in the circumstances, needing points still, it was very frustrating. A lot is said on here about 'real fans don't leave early' but IMHO yesterday was a classic example where that is...

    [Football] Bolton players go on strike for 48 hours

    ...and for extra idiocy, one of the possible outcomes in High Court is administration and a 12-point deduction. If they had done that prior to last Thursday, would have taken the penalty this season with relegation highly likely anyway. Now, if that is what happens, it will ruin next season in...

    [Football] Bolton players go on strike for 48 hours

    Shocking, can't blame them. Will Buckley and Craig Noone involved, of course. Astonishing the players came away from QPR with a win in the circumstances. Started the day 8 points adrift of safety, having not been paid on time for second month in a row, with a High Court date looming on...

    [Albion] Assuming we survive, is CH the right man for 19/20?

    IF we survive, then yes, he should certainly start 2019-20. But there needs to be - and I'm sure there will be - a proper sit-down with Bloom, Barber, Hughton and any others to dissect what has gone wrong this season. That will be a wide-ranging discussion taking in recruitment, existing...

    [Football] Cardiff v Chelsea - posives and negatives

    I can completely understand the 'What goes around' reaction to Warnock, not one of the game's best loved characters and a hypocrite when it comes to refereeing decisions. Trust me, I was fuming after the game there, with several big decisions going against us. But there is another aspect to...

    [Football] Cardiff v Chelsea - posives and negatives

    Easy. Based on our squad, where we were in December, the quality (or lack of it) of some of the other teams at the bottom, the fact that we have somehow lost to a lot of those teams, the fact that generally and unlike others we haven't been getting tonked even by the top teams, the quality of...

    [Football] Cardiff v Chelsea - posives and negatives

    And we know exactly what Warnock will do ahead of the game. He will load all the pressure on us and our players, and it's the right thing to do from their perspective. He'll say Brighton have everything to lose, that Cardiff have nothing to lose. It's up to Hughton to make our players - even if...

    [Football] Cardiff v Chelsea - posives and negatives

    Burnley and Southampton both came to the Amex needing to beat us. And they both did it with something to spare. The way we failed to get up for those six-pointers, be on the front foot and inject some tempo (passing game fine, counter attacking fine, doing either slowly is no good) is very...

    [Football] Cardiff v Chelsea - posives and negatives

    Cardiff are a very poor side this season, and have over-achieved getting the points they have. The fact that we are relying on them to save our own skin is increasingly leaving me very uncomfortable about our own season. We shouldn't be anywhere near where we are. Big signings haven't...

    [Albion] Tickets Remaining for FA Cup Semi Final ***About 200 LEFT ON SALE***

    Not if it's a pathetic non-answering of the salient point. Namely that there is no good reason for what's left not to go on general sale. And further, that by delaying and stalling, we are worse placed to demand and shift any extra tickets we could have got for purchase-history Albion fans from...

    [Albion] Tickets Remaining for FA Cup Semi Final ***About 200 LEFT ON SALE***

    You sound like an unbelievably selfish 'I'm all right Jack' type who simply can't get their heads around the fact there are different types of fans, many longstanding who arent STHs or members but go when they can. With all other groups now catered for there is absolutely no reason not to let...

    [Albion] Tickets Remaining for FA Cup Semi Final ***About 200 LEFT ON SALE***

    Absolutely not. They did what they did because they had the money and paid to give themselves a BETTER chance of a ticket, that's all. Many would say it was an error from the club to allow new season 19-20 members to get a ticket. Overall I agree with those who say the club has got this process...
