    [Albion] Premier League 6-7/4/24

    I'm old enough to remember when 6th - 10th was standard. The lower bracket drops with every passing week it seems. Sad times. My Albion mojo has dropped off a cliff since Rome. This season is going to end in massive disappointment. I predict 11th, maybe 12th.

    [Albion] Martin Keown. Truth or disrespectful?

    Well I quite like Martin Keown, and always have done ever since he played for us in my formative Albion supporting years. I find it baffling that so many on here are getting stroppy with him when he talks fondly of his time here, and he was a decent player for us. And if all he said was he was...

    [Albion] Trossard

    Ambivalent. He was quality on his day, but for 2 seasons that wasn't often enough.

    Can't really believe Rachel was kept on tonight. She was awful.

    [Football] Caicedo and MacAllister, How Well Have They Done Since They Left Us?

    Nah. Ali Mac RAN the game for an hour. He outshone Messi in that time and along with Martinez in goal, was the best player on the pitch.

    [Albion] Premier League 2-4/4/24

    The only good thing about this penalty is that it came against Man Utd.

    [Albion] Yes we have injuries but tactically that was garbage, again.

    Neither keeper had much to do, but we controlled the game and by and large had the superior players. It was a dull game, and I worry for next season that we have games exactly like this where we don't look like scoring. I'll admit to being a bit out of love with RDZ, not because he's a bad...

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    Smuggie won't be replying to this for a fair few days I'm afraid. Palace are shit and they just lost. Maybe wait until we next lose and they don't?

    [Football] The worst (best) free-kick in football history?

    Reigniting that strategic partnership with Hibs is probably the only way our injury list could get any worse.

    [Drinking] I’ve gone off Alcohol

    I'm 52 and I've made no active decision to avoid alcohol, but I just do not drink that much of it anymore. This weekend (Easter with family) I've had one single malt whisky, one half glass of prosecco and one pint of pale ale when we walked to the pub. That's all, and that's more alcohol than...

    [Albion] Premier League 30-31/3/24

    I know his Dortmund record was excellent but when Haaland first arrived in this country, it was like watching City play in cheat mode. He was just bigger, stronger and more deadly than anyone else. Basically unplayable for most of his first season. A year and a bit later and he's settled down...

    [Cricket] IPL

    Not much. Just the 37 sixes I'm afraid.

    [Cricket] IPL

    Incredibly, the game was in the balance for most of the 2nd innings. Then Pat Cummins bowled the 15th over, took a key wicket and went for 3 runs. That was the game right there. The Mumbai Indians made 246/5 which is astonishing in itself!

    [Albion] Brighton playing on Easter Sunday

    Sunrisers Hyderabad have just biffed 277/3 against a Mumbai Indians side with Jasprit Bumrah in the bowling attack. :ohmy:

    [Albion] Lewis Carl Dunk

    I think this just about sums it up:

    [Football] Euro 24 play-off: Wales v Poland

    Exactly this, as I pointed out earlier in the thread. They are the ultimate tournament also-rans. A flair-free zone since the Boniek era of the early 80s, they do nothing except power-puff stroking the ball around in midfield and defence. The commentators talk about Lewandowski constantly of...

    [Albion] Premier League 30-31/3/24

    This would be the perfect game for Lewis Dunk to expel those demons, with a commanding performance. And frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened.
