    [Albion] Millwall allocation

    Palace get 14.37%. BHA get 10.92%. Not a lot to be smug about.

    [Football] Classy Liverpool fans ......

    It sounded pretty deliberate to me, was at least 15 seconds before the minute was up and was fairly loud. Its a pretty weak excuse to claim that they may have thought the minute was up. In a minutes silence/applause I cannot believe that anyone in a stadium is not aware of when the referee...

    Doesn't say a lot for Shane Duffy.

    [Albion] Is it "one from three" now?

    If we can hold our form in the five critical home games ( Hudd/Saints/Cardiff/Toon/Bmuff )...feel we need to win 3 of these....we will be alright. Ideally beat Cardiff and Saints. Could also do with a couple of away points ( somewhere! ) Gut feeling tells me that its between Saints and Cardiff.

    Heard that he will be fit in time for the start of the Championship season 2019/20.

    [Cricket] Cricket bats

    Another good place I have found in the County ( admittedly some distance to travel ) is Game, Set and Match in Chichester, a Cricket, Hockey and Bowls superstore run by Andrew and Ben Barnes. Great knowledge,huge experience and very helpful. Wisdom Sports in Haywards Heath is also excellent...

    Yep.....Kennedy said they would get a man on the moon by the end of the 60's. The people like politicians setting ambitious targets and going for them. It didn't matter that Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon spent half the federal reserve on beating the Russians to it. That was the be all and end all...

    [Football] Gordon Banks RIP

    Just found out and very saddened. As gradually, one by one, we lose our brave boys from 66, Bobby, Sir Alf, Bally, Ray and now Banksy, a tiny bit of me goes with them. Alf built the team around three men, the spine of his team. Banks, Moore and Charlton. He knew they were world-class and as long...

    [Football] Are we going down?

    For the umpteenth time.....only 6 ( arguably plus Everton ) clubs are ever ' established ' in the PL. We are in a 13 team sub-divison. Three of those teams go down. Of the remaining ten, six or seven will spend the season fighting to stay above the safety line. Football history dictates that...

    [Cricket] West Indies v England 3rd Test

    Many quicks in the past have been capable of short, hostile spells. Who knows how quick Larwood was in the bodyline series? It was enough to unsettle the greatest player of all time. Frank Tyson destroyed Australia, down under in 54-55, with lightning speed. Seasoned pro's like Keith Miller said...

    [Football] Are we going down?

    Ah....but history shows that he doesn't. He prefers to stick with his ' tried and trusted ' Most fans are crying out for more pace in the side but he persists with his predictable line-up that sees us labouring to get the ball upfield. Substitutions are only made if there is an injury, sending...

    [Football] Are we going down?

    Exactly. Rushed straight back in after his sojourn in the Middle East and has looked shaky and unsettled since. Coupled with Dunk deciding to have two absolute mares v Fulham and Burnley and an expected 4 points have gone begging and the knives are out.

    [Cricket] West Indies v England 3rd Test

    The most mentally brittle group of England players that I have seen in over 50 years. You now expect them to collapse on a regular basis. No consistency. No real leadership. Too much emphasis on T20, to the detriment of Test Cricket. No one seems to want to work on the fundamentals of the game...

    [Football] Why’s it not quite working at the moment?

    Its a difficult situation to analyse at the moment. Are we in an 11 game blip or a 3 game blip? Most fans seemed reasonably happy after Man U away. We had run Chelsea close, had a decent, unbeaten Christmas and then pushed Liverpool and United pretty close. No real need to worry. Fulham away...

    [Albion] 4 Consecutive Saturdays At The Amex

    Can we score a goal in any of these four home games? We have yet to score against Burnley in 3 PL meetings so far and Saturday has all the makings of another tight one. ( 88 goal attempts in the last 4 games suggests we are playing expansively but not being clinical )

    [Humour] Joke du Jour..

    I sincerely hope not. As a father of a sufferer, I know what it means. On a personal level it touches a raw nerve when it is used as a throwaway line, trying to be clever.

    [Albion] Knockaert

    His ' A ' game is where he wants to play uninhibited and with freedom. Where he can run at people all day long, twisting and turning. It is a style, that by its very nature creates moments of brilliance and a fair few mistakes. The PL punishes mistakes much more. Knocky gave the ball away at the...

    [Albion] Knockaert

    .......when he shows on a consistent level that he is prepared to adapt his game to the PL and not fall back on his ' overplaying ' which he was much more able to get away with in the Championship. When he keeps it simple, moves the ball quickly and concentrates on passing to feet instead of...

    Agreed. Left me thinking that I could listen to more from them. Mature and well rounded.

    [Albion] Knockaert

    Energetic and better performance. He hasn't got the touch and feel for crosses that Gross possesses. Too many are just blazed in, hoping that someone gets on the end. Talented player who hasn't been able to adjust his game to PL requirements. Quick, simple and accurate football not fancy...
