Very clever marketing, especially the bit about the Albion kit on the 7th birthday...if a kid is following a team at that age it is unlikely that they will change to someone else, regardless of peer pressure, and putting it simply you have them for life!

Not sure what you were hoping to achieve, or expected, but I have to say that looks mighty fine to me. Would you like to try again?

That is sad, Exeter still rates as my favourite away trip and always held their fans in high esteem. Their reaction seems a little short sighted doesn't it...what would life be like without a rival? Even when we were really looking like going down the plug-hole I doubt if many Palace fans...

Forest Green Rovers, although this is now the team that I watch rather than the Albion, reasons for this are long and probably contained in a thread somewhere so I won't bother repeating them. Brighton are the team I grew up following but I am probably now known by more people, especially where...

The only one I can think of is Gavin and Stacey, that is about it, can't say there is anything that I would bother to watch that obsessively. Probably my favourite sitcom of all time is Dad's Army, can't be certain how many episodes I have watched or missed but there is occasionally one on the...

Fair point, I did 2Km in the pool this morning and didn't have to contend with angry swans or all the other crap you find in the the Thames.

Yep, I have massive respect for him too, swimming the distances he has done from the point of being a complete novice is little short of miraculous. Most World class swimmers have spent hours and hours in the pool training since the age of about eight, their bodies are used to it and they...

I suppose you could argue that with our team frequently being so accommodating to the opposition on the pitch the supporters should at least try and get on their backs off it!

This, so many of them are rousing songs, kind of makes up for ours being little more than a dirge...and before anyone goes off on one, I am both patriotic and a Royalist, I just reckon we could have a better National Anthem.

Not a chance, long hair and a beard...I would look like a thinner version of Robbie Coltrane! Anyway that all sounds like far too much effort, I would prefer the 60's, all those festivals, free love...mods and rockers at the seaside...England win the World Cup...marvellous stuff!

Have never really played football but did play hockey until a couple of years ago, certainly some way past my 40th birthday. I had always intended to try and keep playing until I made it to 50, at which point I would take up umpiring. Have to admit that I don't fancy the idea of turning out to...

Scrap it and raise the allowance you get before paying tax to make it far more attractive for people to get off benefits and into a job. This may sound a little simplistic but if you end up with a lower income for being in work than out of it then why would anyone want to bother. More people...

Exactly, club sides are used to playing together week in week out, whereas international teams may only get a half dozen games over a season. I reckon you would get more passion, commitment and entertaining football watching Fulham play Wolves than you do at most England games. Given the...

Possibly, to a degree, but the Police don't usually arrest a half dozen people randomly in the street. My understanding is that as part of a caution, though I have never had one, they state the reason why that person is being detained for questioning. It is reasonable to assume that if someone...

Midwife?

Great call, maybe you could get Mark Beeney at the same time as it could be argued that the two of them once saved the Albion...in more ways than one!

This...I don't think they understand how pathetic and insignificant they sound!

Think you might be just about right with the last bit, there has been football related violence in quite a few countries in recent years...Euro 2012 in Poland and the Ukraine will probably serve as a rallying call for the worst of them.

Pretty much this, the people who do it probably have little respect for themselves, let alone anyone else. I expect the Welsh anthem to be roundly booed tonight, by that knuckle-dragging element who do it regardless of the opposition, which is really sad as when sung properly it is one of the...

Sounds like a right load of toss to me!
