That's a glowing tribute to Albion's approach to bringing-on young players; let's hope there are plenty more Connollys and Alzates to come. I confirm that there is a real buzz in Eire about Connolly's potential. I think another reason for young Irish players signing for Albion was the very...

Blimey you must have good hearing. I really couldn't understand why with an early KO and us thumping Spuds so many felt obliged to dash off before the end.

You're assuming anyone outside the NS could hear it...

I had to watch the Albion section 3 times in a row...I couldn't believe my ears: "Brighton were absolutely brilliant today"

Yeah I reckon the Caxton is a good shout as it isn't as "obvious" as the other pubs close to the station and you are pretty unlikely to get away fans in there

It's embarrassing though that we can't tolerate a few Korean students wearing Spuds bobble hats. A few on here might remember when we played Arsenal in the cup (the match where Chris O'Grady scored) and in WSU an old dear was wearing an Arsenal and Albion kit stitched together straight down the...

Nah, the Brexit Referendum was the equivalent of asking: would you like a football match, Yes or No? So, with a result of yes we'd like a football match it leaves hundreds of tricky details to be ironed out, e.g: - which teams are going to play? - what date and time will it be at? - which...

Could it be that there is a growing pile of evidence that he is unfit to be PM and so this helps to further illustrate the point?

A very important US client and you are taking him to the Marina, the racecourse, and fish and chips on the pier? The Marina is more like Croydon than Brighton, and surely you could take him to one of the good Brighton fish places on the seafront like Riddle and Finns or The Copper Clam. I'll...

You do know that Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian right?

If more people showed a proper interest in politics and not just took their information off the side of a bus then we wouldn't be in this current mess

I'm sure everyone would agree that we would rather have the 3 points off Villa, but I beg to differ when you say it looks like everyone who went had a good night. Albion fans watched most of the game in silence punctuated only by the sound of Villa fans making "SSSHHHhhhhhhhhhhh...." noises, and...

I like your point about treating it as "another version of the FA Youth Cup". I'm amazed the football league don't stipulate the minimum number of first team squad players who must be included in the starting line-up.

I think you can be chirpy about it because you didn't go; a lot of us who did turn-up left feeling very dispirited, particularly after having to listen 3,000 fat Brummies taking the p1ss for 90 mins.

Agreed, ridiculous. Surely the Rumbelows Cup or whatever it's called now is a chance to let junior players gain experience alongside seasoned pros, not throw them to the wolves (though I know we were playing Villa last night)

Personally I didn't think it was fair on the youngsters dumping them in the deep end all at once in a team without a backbone of experienced pros. On numerous occasions you could see them freeze not knowing what to do while Trezeguet or Hourihane (experienced internationals) nicked the ball. I...

Think of it as a tribute to the esteem we have for Croydon's finest. Perhaps most people just don't care very much about them and aren't obsessed with a few punch-ups in the 1980s. I expect the crowd versus Villa tonight will be similar...

Yeah and sometimes he plays with his hair...

I can certainly remember a couple of Scummers ending-up on their back-sides in Hove Park...

The world might be a better place if more people thought: "I wonder if what I am saying (or typing) is actually true?"
