So you work at No 10? How is dear Dominic?

Totally agree, it sounds ridiculous. In its proper usage, 'so' is used as a consequential conjunction: "He annoyed me, so I hit him". So sorry to see that inconsequential little word now causing so much distress and offence. However, until recently, the standard way of beginning the answer...

What about puts it all into perspective?

Never heard of him. How many Brits have? Main story on the BBC website though, for some reason. Odd thing, news story values. We're all pretty insular. Wonder whether the Leicester City helicopter death crash a year ago made the headlines on Fox....

Villa fans were singing their own version of that tedious, me-too, Liverpool-lite Allez Allez bollocks. I gather the intention is to remind lesser clubs of their proud history. I only caught the verse beginning "In 1982...." Couldn't hear the rest of the line without the aid of Brum-translate...

What's always funny about these threads is that people only ever trot out a list of their own favourite players, in some kind of fantasy formation. Rarely a reference to the opposing club's name, let alone the individual opponents who will be there on the day to be, er, opposed. No matter, I...

Never going to work. Not without all the words up on the screens.

Just to cheer us all up after yesterday, Owlstalk has a magnificent and thoroughgoing analysis of precisely why, after all those years, and despite everyone's best efforts to cover up the embarrassing truths - Brighton & Hove Albion remains an irredeemably and laughably tinpot enterprise. It's...

How can you have any respect for a bloke who cant even spell Richardson?

Especially a doggie bag.

You got a smile and a thumb from me, but severely reduced kudos for that "would of".

Now here's a thread you don't often get to see on the BBS...

Perfectly qualified, then, for performing his vital pastoral duties as careers adviser to the upper sixth. Don't suppose he told too many spotty oiks to have a go at journalism!

Brings back memories... Of driving over from Canterbury after bunking off work early, that absolutely electric North Stand atmosphere, sardined in alongside my dad; 90 minutes of sheer excitement, goals galore, and all those Albion heroes. Kit Napier (RIP), Alex Dawson, and of course Allan...

Haven't read all of this thread, but thought I'd already 'saved' Bury several years ago, when they appealed to other clubs' fans to cough up a tenner for their fighting fund - for which, in eternal gratitude for my magnanimous gesture, they would inscribe a seat-back with the name of my late...

Always a pleasure to read a piece on the Albion from one of our broadsheet fans. Last week it was Nick Szczepanik, now Paul Hayward . Impartial, objective journalism, that's the stuff!

Exquisitely-struck winner at Palace in the Premier League takes some beating.

Not to mention the HIV Virus. [such tautologies are no big deal, we all stop noticing after a while]

Perfectly put. One of those 'big' clubs that come up short in the Championship year after year may well prove a perfect fit for him. A highly successful career, on and off the pitch, and an unbelievably decent human being. Chris Hughton has nothing to prove to anyone.

Dunk to Lewes?
