    [Finance] Is your Mortgage rate ending this year ?

    Great thread @Uncle Spielberg . Our fixed rate with Nationwide is up in March but they don't seem to have reflected the latest round of interest rate cuts. Not sure how long to hang on or how long to fix for when we do go for a new deal.

    [TV] Disney+

    Watched the new Marvel series, Echo, mainly because I enjoyed Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin in particular. Not bad. Bit of a bland story, some good action and some heartwarming moments. 6.5/10

    [Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

    I see the Arsegas is doing the usual panic blog. Snowflakes for snowflakes. Have they given this latest bit of weather a name yet? Terry the Tundra, Brian Blizzard?

    [Misc] What podcasts do you enjoy?

    Anyone checked out Game of No Halves, the crazy new footy-related podcast with Bob Harris and his son? Basically, 'Whispering' Bob has been playing a fantasy footy league in his head for the past 40 years by kicking sponge balls off his furniture around his house. He has transfers, tactics...

    [Football] Cooper SACKED

    He has the kind of face that will suit Palace. A bit like Ian Dowie.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Olympique de Marseille *** Official Match Thread ***

    Yep, they've lost connection to Warren and co so they played Like a Prayer by Madonna... twice! :mad:

    [Albion] AEK team news

    Looks like we're going for it with that team. As we should of course. Hinshelwood Jr described Forest away as a huge physical challenge. He's going to get more of the same if AEK are anything like they were at the Amex. Good luck to the lad. So good to see another Brighton lad in the first team.

    [Finance] Do you personally want interest rates (the base rate) to go up, down or stay the same?

    Our mortgage deal ends in March so we're looking at a nasty rise in payments. Given predictions, I guess it's not worth locking in for more than a year is it?

    O/T John Byrne

    Such a classy player. I couldn't believe it when we signed him. And he more than lived up to expectations on the pitch. His goal as Anfield in the 2-2 FA Cup match is one of my favourite Albion memories, not least because it was my first ever away game.

    [Albion] European half and half scarves

    I have the Brighton vs Doncaster Rovers one from the first game at the Amex. Not planning on getting any more.

    [Film] RIP Burt Young

    Great character actor and, of course, brilliant in the Rocky movies. A former boxer himself. RIP

    [Misc] Mundane celebrity encounters

    In a lift with Louis Theroux at the Grand. Dame Judy Dench complimented my five-year-old son's Spider-Man outfit at Ardingly. Ted Rogers on a cruise ship - rolled his eyes on my request for him to "do a 3-2-1" but he did it anyway. Rowan Atkinson looking miserable at Goodwood Festival of...

    [Albion] Who is your favourite EVER Albion keeper?

    Keeley just edges it over FDM as my favourite keeper with Beeney in third. Also a special mention for USA international Tony Meola, just for the fun of that brief stint with us.

    [Albion] Brighton Women's Home Ground?

    I'd love it if they did use Withdean but it seems unlikely. With a couple of extra stands, could matches not be hosted at the training ground?

    [Albion] RDZ recent interviews

    I was thinking similar on watching his pre-match interview. I put it down to the fatigue of having to answer the same questions over and over. I'm sure like most managers, RDZ is all about the training pitch and the matches themselves.

    [Albion] Everton Women v Albion Women (Sun 1pm)

    Enjoyed that. Brighton played some nice passing footy and battled well for the win in the end. Captain Losada in midfield very impressive. Decent free coverage on FA Player too.

    [Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Not his fault but I feel sorry for Hinshelwood making his full debut in that shambles of a first half.

    [Albion] Is Veltman Injured?

    If we had of known our injury/unavailable situation prior to this fixture, I don't think we would have been nearly as confident. Pedro is a real handful but maybe needs to take the simple option in build up a little more. We can maybe cope with one of Solly or Mitoma being a bit off form but...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs AEK Athens *** Official Match Thread ***

    How this isn't the cover for tonight's programme I don't know but at least it's a free "giant poster" inside. Might have to try and grab one early.
