    JFC - Please God make this the last time we have to watch him play in an Albion shirt...

    This can't be true if, as has also been claimed on this thread, we're too quick to forgive other players exactly the same sorts of mistakes - Ince was picked out as somebody who gets no stick when he errs, for example. We're too demanding and too forgiving? I don't think so. That only leaves...

    JFC - Please God make this the last time we have to watch him play in an Albion shirt...

    I take no pleasure in criticising a Brighton player, Rod Marsh and Paddy B, and try extremely hard not to do so in the ground. This place is the one place where it should surely be OK to let off such steam - he need never see it or even be aware of it if he doesn't choose to come on here (and...

    JFC - Please God make this the last time we have to watch him play in an Albion shirt...

    When we see the same thing you do, Mouldy. What I see is: jog about, ten or fifteen yards to the left or right, but under no circumstances actually up to the opposing player to close him down. Watch him pass the pall past you, then sprint past you on his way to support an attack. Jog backwards...

    Arsenal Fan in the home end today

    Would and did, Edna. Bloke in the West Lower in the next block from me in an Arsenal shirt, clearly visible. Contrary to ground rules - why have these rules and then pick and choose which ones to actually enforce? Light up an e-cig in there (not that I've done this - never been a smoker) and see...

    Brighton fans in the London area?

    :bigwave: In Streatham, me. Been in London since 1992, but had my season ticket for 29 years now.

    [Albion] Do you own a Blue and White Brighton & Hove Albion Scarf ?

    I currently sport the 'classic'-style blue and white barred scarf with the club badge, but only when it's sufficiently cold to actually need a scarf. I've got plenty of old ones going back to those Goldstone days to which the OP referred. I do join in with the scarf twirling but, if I'm honest...

    Nice. Kick-off time's good too - late enough to get there in plenty of time as you suggest, early enough not to be a nightmare getting home on a Sunday.

    Where is the best away day experience?

    I've lamented the passing of the terrace at Peterborough on here before - used to love going there. No doubt Brentford's will go the same way in due course, particularly if they end up getting promoted. I like pretty much all the London grounds as away games, Selhurst excepted, because we...

    The OFFICIAL NFL 2014 Thread

    Anyone been to any of the Wembley games yet? I work right in the middle of London, so I'm always surrounded by the events going on beforehand, but haven't yet got to a game - I can't justify the kind of expense it represents to see two teams I don't follow. How have they been?

    The OFFICIAL NFL 2014 Thread

    Christmas falls two months early this year. Allow me to explain. Having first come to my attention in the early days of Channel 4's coverage of the game, with a season which garnered just two wins in 1984, ('That's the team for me', I thought), the Buffalo Bills have always been my team. The...

    Online ticket buying confusion

    None of the above worked for me, and I was in Google Chrome. It would only sell me my mate's season ticket, next to mine. Eventually, after joining the queue three times, it offered me both mine and his, and I was able to select mine. But I've paid the quid to have the ticket posted to me - I'm...

    Category A prices for Arsenal FA Cup 4th round...

    Suspect they'll mix and match - the big guns will be on the bench, ready to bring on as they did last time round, if the starting eleven don't look like they're going to get it done.

    No POTG at Charlton

    Fulham's a bit different, though, because of that 'neutrals' section. You may have more luck getting into a home section than into the away end at Charlton - the rest of the ground is very unlikely to be as full as the away end, based on their recent attendances - but whether you'd be able to do...

    Sarah Watts - a real Albion hero RIP

    Bloody hell. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even know this stalwart was unwell. All Albion fans, especially those who were there through all the worst of it, through all the campaigning, knew who she was I think. We've lost another of our own. Condolences to those who knew her - my thoughts are...

    Las Vegas

    It seems I'm alone in thinking it was OK, but no more than that. Blackpool with gigantic, glittery, gold-painted brass knobs on. With feathers. Nice to play a bit of poker, nice hotels, amazing buffets (the food waste - bloody hell...) but I was happy enough to come home after four days there...

    Are we a better side without JFC ?

    We certainly are, at least in the role he'd been playing. He's simply not mobile enough to do that job - watching attacking players stream past him toward our goal has been one of the many frustrations of the first half of this season. Maybe Hughton will use him differently, but with two wins...

    Temples

    Saw them in Mannheim earlier this year, at the Mannheim Derby. Superb live.

    I think the Bills drafted pretty well generally. They traded up the draft just to get him, so there's pressure, but he was widely touted as the best WR in the draft bar none. High hopes for him.

    The OFFICIAL NFL 2014 Thread

    I should bloody well think so too. I've never understood the rationale behind moving even for the two games per season they do currently - all the Bills need to fill the Ralph Wilson, as has been shown in the past, is a half-decent team. They're not a 'big name' like, say, Denver or Dallas, so I...
