    [Football] Premier League Fan Experience

    While I understand what you are saying on VAR, on the old occasion I pop down to watch Whyteleafe and players still cheat and whinge at the ref and the team that wins the league generally has the biggest budget. I also find non league fans more whiney than the average Football League fan, God if...

    [Albion] Playing the ball out from the back

    Getting use to it and can totally understand the reasoning behind it, draw in two, three, four players and in one pass they are taken out, how often is that telling pass a simple but positive five to ten yard pass. Yes it's high risk and at times we will cock up but the positivity of our play is...

    [Albion] Bissouma Outrageous

    Defensively good, I thought he was instrumental in keeping Zaha quiet at Selhurst.

    [Albion] Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    We didn't play five at the back against Liverpool or Arsenal away so why play five against Palace. Wallace's strength is defence and playing on the break.

    [Albion] Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    If we play as we did at Liverpool and Arsenal we'll be ok. If we play as we did at Man U we won't. I am a bit concerned about Stephens being out and probably having to put Mooy in the middle when he has been outstanding a bit wider. We need to start well and keep the crowd quiet.

    [Misc] Dogs

    Sadly had my Labrador, Granville put down last month, he was such a great mate and I miss him terribly. The vet was so right it wasn't his internal organs that did for Granville but his mobility, he tried so hard to get out for his walks but one day after three walks and meeting all his dog...

    [Albion] Davy Propper - is he the weak link?

    Been brilliant all season. Yes he's given it away a few times but normally trying to be positive. We are work in progress but Propper is the creative spark in the middle of the park.

    [Cricket] New Zealand v England 2nd Test

    Totally agree, Archer is still young and will further develop and add skills. I worry that bowling long spells won't help long term. Currently he's rapid get the best out of him in short sharp spells.

    [Cricket] New Zealand v England 2nd Test

    Not sure I mentioned beamers, mix up quick yorkers and short stuff. Could you picture the likes of Walsh, Marshall and Ambrose taking 10 mph off the ball. Personally I think in this series we could have tried Archer in a Mitch Johnson role of rapid four over spells. Long spells are going to...

    Slow wickets so be quick through the air.

    [Cricket] New Zealand v England 2nd Test

    Interesting about the Kiwis and pace, in which case why has Archer reduced his pace. Is he saving himself for the tours of South Africa and Sri Lanka?

    [Albion] Player Ratings Liverpool - Brighton

    Dunk and Stephens were much better than a six. Take out the first twenty minutes and I thought we were excellent. I thought Bissouma looked off the pace, Gross isn't a wide player and offered very little assistance to the full back going forward mainly due to his lack of pace. If Gross plays he...

    [Albion] Team v Liverpool

    For me this is just about right, they play three up top and push the wing backs up high we need to counter that. Let's be honest it is damage limitation however Potter is excellent at tactical changes as the game goes on.

    [Albion] Ben White Signs new deal

    I would recall White in January, i have concerns about Duffy and Burn and feel White would slot straight into the side with Webster and Dunk. The squad is already two short with the loans of Locadia and Andone so White would be a welcome addition with a new striker.

    [Politics] The General Election Thread

    Thanks, that doesn't make good reading, how does this compare to other countries? Sorry to be a numpty but if you ran a High Street business like that you would end up in the gutter. Which party is best for finance?

    [Politics] The General Election Thread

    With all these pledges no one is going to reduce the countries debt, what is an acceptable level of debt / borrowing to income? After years of austerity have the country reduced our level of debt just to go back to the dark days of boom bust. I just don't get it and they are all as bad as each...
