    [Cricket] England v New Zealand - 2nd Test - Edgbaston

    I must have been mistaken. I thought we were 3rd in the Test ratings.

    [Cricket] England v New Zealand - 2nd Test - Edgbaston

    Not much population in the W Indies and they were strong for decades.

    [Cricket] England v New Zealand - 2nd Test - Edgbaston

    Made to look it by this bag of manure. In other era's just a decent side.

    [Cricket] England v New Zealand - 2nd Test - Edgbaston

    Without question the weakest and worst England batting line up I have ever seen ( been watching since 1963 ) New Zealand are a decent side but not world beaters. Just not a lot of class around in cricket, generally, at the moment. On a good pitch, they are barely getting to day 4. A lot of these...

    [Albion] The Norwich local rag view of Brighton next season[emoji848]

    Thats the equivalent of five more wins and in PL terms that is a lot.

    [Albion] The Norwich local rag view of Brighton next season[emoji848]

    Be interesting to see what he writes about Norwich City FC..... ....." The Canaries romped to the Championship title last season and will hope to take that confidence with them into another PL season. Two seasons ago, they started well, notably scalping City on the way but form and confidence...

    [Football] Roy Hodgson CBE

    Sterling has been awarded an MBE for fronting anti-racism and anti-discrimination campaigns and speaking out strongly against racism on and off the pitch for several years. All very creditable but I question the validity of the award based on the narrow confines of the agenda. The vast majority...

    [Cricket] Ollie Robinson suspended by ECB

    The word ' gay ' has always meant happy and carefree, before it was hijacked by the homosexual community who wanted a softer identity. Defined three ways in the OED as..... 1) Full of mirth. Lighthearted. Carefree. Sportive. Airy. Offhand. 2) Showy. Brilliant. Bright-Coloured. Finely dressed or...

    [Misc] Partial Solar Eclipse This Morning - UK Timings

    Chris Waddle has said he will pay homage this morning. As previous record holder of launching a ball into orbit, from twelve yards, he now acknowledges that his effort ranks a distant second to the legendary Ulloa blast off.

    [Football] Dear England - by Gareth Southgate

    The same reason that people insult others over the fact they adopt a different religion or that they they come from a different country or they have a different political belief or have a physical abnormality or a learning disability or use rhetoric that others disagree with or are just someone...

    [Football] Dear England - by Gareth Southgate

    As indeed with all the other human rights abuses around the world and the racism and racialism found in every corner and in every nation on earth and not just an individual issue with colour prejudice, which some seem to consider the only cause of importance.

    [Albion] Ben White - Men's Player Of The Year

    Selective memory, I'm afraid. Biss was the engine room of our side. Working his socks off, every minute of every game. Breaking up play, winning the ball back, cover tackling, driving the team forward, keeping us ticking over, inspiring others around him, putting double shifts in when some...

    [Albion] Ben White - Men's Player Of The Year

    For me..... 1) Biss 2) Dunk 3) Webster 4) Sanchez 5) White

    [Albion] *** The 26th Man is Ben White ***

    Great achievement but I would have gone for Ward-Prowse. In tight games, deep in extra time, free kick 25-30 out, no one better in the country. Congrats to Ben but its Southgate's natural defensiveness to the fore again.

    [Politics] Dominic Cummings v H&SC and S&T select committees *Official Match Thread*

    If I know of countless people who disregarded guidelines, particularly over the festive period but also throughout this whole, difficult period, then many of you out there know the same. Too many people in this country were not prepared to make sacrifices and refused to compromise their...

    [Albion] Marks out of 10 for this season

    We are all different. You seem to indicate that style of play is more important to you than results. I have seen Brighton teams over the years playing lovely stuff but losing lots of games. That doesn't float my boat. It spoils my weekend. I am not a good loser, although as I have got older it...

    [Albion] Marks out of 10 for this season

    No....quite the opposite.....I really enjoy it. I want us to be competitive and win as much as possible. I get frustrated at not finishing teams off and overplaying too much.

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

    Yes....he was at a lower level but capable of scoring 15 -20 goals a season. If Connolly gets loaned out, lets see what level he is and what he produces.

    [Albion] Marks out of 10 for this season

    In 55 years of watching BHA, I have only ever looked at results. It has not bothered me one tiny jot if we stunk the place out, as long as we won. I have never gone to watch pretty football. Only winning football. And if you can't win, make sure you don't lose. Very few teams in football history...
