    [News] Bill Withers RIP

    If you haven't seen it so far, can I recommend Still Bill - a brilliant documentary about the great man.

    [Albion] FC Liefering - first friendly game - July 13th

    Lieferung are to all intents and purposes Red Bull Salzburg B and equivalent to our Under 23s.

    [Football] I don't like football any more.

    Hope you didn't catch the end of the Scotland Argentina game in the Women's World Cup... A goalkeeper now has very little chance of saving a penalty unless it's struck straight at them. Referee played five minutes of additional time even though VAR took a lot longer than that.

    [Other Sport] RIP Niki Lauda

    Clearly massive news here. He never recovered from his last illness but it still felt that he was indestructible. He was a regular on political talk shows and I always appreciated his straight talking and independent opinions. He was popular across the board here and that isn't easy to achieve...

    [Albion] Potential Transfer Targets

    You are right to pick out Savanier. He has been immense in his first season in Ligue-1 - top of the assist league playing for Nîmes. Wouldn't cost the earth. Have liked the look of Benjamin André for Rennes as well. Hard as nails CM with an eye for a goal.

    [Football] Macclesfield Town and Notts County.

    It saddens me greatly to see Notts County probably go out the league. A proud club and a great away day. Fingers crossed for them but it's looking grim.

    [Albion] Mitrovic in the Summer Window

    I would seriously take Babel over Mitrovic - the Dutchman is flair personified.

    [Politics] Our vigilant immigration regime

    When I was last in London over New Year, I couldn't believe the number of cup under ball games going on on Westminster Bridge. It was almost impossible to walk on a very wide pavement and caused a lot of unnecessary congestion. The amount some people were gambling with was quite extraordinary -...

    [Football] Uwe, Krul, Norwood

    Uwe's Paderborn have come from nowhere and have knocked Hamburg down to 4th place. He was skipper at the weekend - I really hope he takes them up. Still loves BHA judging by his Twitter.

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    Almost certainly the worst value for money in our history. At least Jason Peake scored a couple of goals.

    [Albion] Kayal - Where was he?

    Pröpper was strolling around thinking about next season back in Holland. Absolutely disgraceful performance. Stephens at least tried but was hopeless.

    [Albion] Hughton In or Out?

    Our only hopeof staying up, sadly, is Hughton going tomorrow. We've just been outplayed and outfought by Cardiff with their virtual Championship side. The majority of the players either haven't grasped the seriousness of the situation or cannot cope with the pressure. CH is not to blame for...

    [Music] RIP Ranking Roger

    Really talented vocalist for the Beat. Loved them as a kid. 56 - no age at all.

    [Albion] Jonathan Pearce BBC commentary

    I don't mind old JP although we, of course, don't get to hear him on German TV�� We had Lutz Pfannenstehl on co-comms who is an interesting character. The main issue for me, as others have pointed out, was the continual replays and crowd scenes. Twice they cut back to live...

    [Albion] Which Albion penalty takers did you not fancy to score?

    I had visions of Pröpper trying a Panenka. It was clear that the others would leather it.

    [Albion] A list of local celebrities...

    Does comic actor Mark Williams still go? He was a bit of a regular at Withdean for a while. I embarrassingly did the 'You ain't seen me, right' line to him once. He smiled more out of sympathy.

    [Sussex] Chichester plans to go 'car free' one Sunday a month.

    What do you think about the pedestrianisation of Chichester city centre? I'll be honest, I'm dead against it.

    [Football] Who is the WORST football pundit out there currently?

    Granted I don't have much experience with him but surely Rio Ferdinand has to be a contender after calling for Rafa Benitez to spend his own money on signings. A dreadful apologist for Ashley. PS - I quite like Chris Sutton!

    [Music] RIP Mark Hollis

    I am so sad to hear about this. Talk Talk's development from just another synth band was unique in my opinion. So many songs, so many memories. I Believe In You was a personal favourite - a song about his brother's battle with drug addiction. Hollis' decision to retreat from the business was...

    [Football] Villa v Sheff Utd

    Norwood may get his third promotion in a row. He does look a good player - comfortable on the ball. Have to say I'm enjoying Villa being in the Championship.
