    Didn't realise it as starting so early. I did just watch this rather funny compilation of Kevin Owens interview bits:

    [Albion] The BIG keeper debate

    Maybe the sequence of fixtures? Brian Owen wrote about this earlier in the week or last week - his point was De Zerbi likes to play the same keeper in the home and away fixtures. I can't remember who played away v Arsenal to confirm if it's just that we're having a run of games in which Bart was...

    oops. Corrected. Typing over my lunch break.

    [Football] FFP instead of points deduction, a luxury fine !!

    That was the publicly stated reason. There are some who believe it was brought in to stop people buying smaller clubs and pumping money into them, disrupting the status quo for the big clubs. Which is probably the main reason this (reportedly) isn't currently getting enough support to be...

    [Albion] Verbruggen nominated for Save of the Month (v Liverpool)

    not if it's a reflex save. Your body just reacts to the situation.

    [Albion] Martin Keown. Truth or disrespectful?

    I wouldn't say disrespectful, because I'm not a fragile flower offended by the idea a player might not see Brighton as the pinnacle of their career. But it doesn't seem particularly insightful, and perhaps overstates the importance of this game. Part of our approach is to get young/unproven...

    [Albion] Verbruggen nominated for Save of the Month (v Liverpool)

    No. A reflex save indicates no thought, almost an instinctive action. Some saves involve more thought and control in reaction - seeing the direction of the ball and consciously making a decision to move their body/limbs in a thoughtful way to stop the goal.

    [Football] Safe standing in the North stand next season ....?

    My understanding is that the argument around capacity was about licencing - the safety licences limits capacity based on how quickly you can empty in an emergency. Of course, they kinda contradicted that argument a couple of seasons ago when they squeezed in a thousand seats around the stadium.

    [Football] Is there a team more deserving of rotting in League One than Brentford?

    We claim to be found out - don't come at us, just sit back and defend and we won't score, if you can counter, great. If that is how to beat us/avoid losing to us, how can we be surprised that teams do it? It has been shown to be ineffective by the lesser teams against teams like City, United...

    [Albion] Referee / VAR

    We don't know what the VAR advised the ref. Could have been 'what you described happening with Dunk didn't so you need to look again, but there is also an incident before it, which may take priority'. We have seen the ref go to the screen and not make a notable different decision a number of...

    [Albion] Teams That Can't Catch us/We Can't Catch 2023/24

    It's currently Man City 2-1 Aston Villa (53mins gone) and that is reflected in this table. Their result won't impact things tonight, so if it changes It's still only Arsenal we can't catch, and Sheff Utd and Burnley who can't catch us. P GF GD Pts Max \/1\/ Arsenal 30 72 48 68 92...

    [Albion] Potter returning vs Murray returning

    I haven't really connected with a manager or player since I was a kid. I've gotten so used to them leaving us, that I see most of them as passing through. I wasn't devestated when either left, not so wrapped in the good they provided us that I ignored the bad, but not so fixated on the bad I...

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

    Always nervous when we face them. I'm sure the stats don't back me up, but I always feel like they are a bogey team. Coupled with my usual pessimism, I'm expecting the worst.

    [Albion] Premier League 2-4/4/24

    I believe it is 'mostly' only one, there is allowance for another coach to move back and forth from the benches to the technical area, relaying instructions etc. So others are allowed, but I've been on the West Ham/Spurs match, so not sure how much they are pushing it.
