    [Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    [Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    He will have to show what he can do defensively as well as at the other end. Murray is superb in his own box and has been replaced by a player who is poor in the air. I wish him well but I am not convinced. Sincerely hope he proves me wrong.

    [Albion] Looking like a poor turnout at Newcastle

    Being closer to the pitch at Everton is no consolation. The away end is a shithole. Built on railway sleepers, with old fashioned, cramped seats and pillars to block your view. Last season, I could only see one goal. The concourse ( lol ) is terrible. Truly the worst in the PL. I am only too...

    [Humour] Funny 'Derogatory' Names...

    I used to like ' milk sop ' ( If you really want to get into derogatory names, try a visit to the ' BrExit, a Countdown... etc ' thread, where the intellectually superior ones amongst us gather on a daily basis to hurl all manner of abuse at each other, in a fairly risible manner )

    [Finance] "Public to nominate" who should appear on the new £50 note

    Quite. Should be at or near the top of the list. Modern day heroic figure, who almost single-handedly rescued us from the clutches of European federalist servitude and showed us the way forward to a glorious sunlit upland. As inspiring as Churchill.

    [Other Sport] He's right, it really does...

    I could take him to parts of Brighton and the surrounding areas that really are the pits. Christ, I wouldn't take my worst enemy there. Chav ridden, social security driv en, ill-educated and embarrassing dross-holes. And I could equally take Mr O'Sullivan to certain parts of Essex ( I think...

    [Albion] Peter Brackley RIP

    Very sad news. Used to see him in the Press Box at the Amex but never got the chance to say hello. Many moons ago, when he was sports producer at Radio Brighton, I went into the studio a few times to help out on the saturday afternoon show. He once gave me the job of getting all the rugby...

    [Albion] Useless Albion stat of the day.

    Yes it has but it has rapidly escalated in the last 25 years ( Record transfer fees v how many houses ( average UK prices ) it would buy at the time. 1957 John Charles...........£50,000......x 25 1961 Dennis Law............ £110,000.....x 44 1970 Martin Peters......... £200,000..... x 45 1977...

    [Politics] The Anti English Scottish Party Anual Conference in Glasgow

    Does anyone seriously believe that Scotland can operate as a stand-alone, independent country, when it currently runs a deficit of over 10% against GDP, spending £127 for every £100 raised in tax. This is double the second highest figure in the developed world ( Japan ) To go it alone, Scotland...

    [Albion] Interesting read about Brian Cloughs time as Manager....

    Bamber had done his homework and knew that throwing shedloads of money at them would at least suck in Taylor and he would, hopefully, carry Clough with him. The ruse worked, although its obvious that Clough had serious misgivings. They started to repay some of the financial investment in them by...

    [Albion] Player ratings - West Ham (H)

    Ryan 7 Bruno 7 Bong 7 Dunk 8 Duffy 8 Propper 5 Kayal 8.5 AK 6 AJ March 5.5 Murray 8 JI 7 JL 6.5 YB 6 Sterling defensive effort but a little too passive in the second half for my liking. Back line played well and Kayal carried the whole midfield on his shoulders. Looked like a man determined to...

    [Other Sport] Would you sue over Ryder Cup-style accident?

    Brings back memories of an incident at Hove in the 50's, when Sussex player Don Smith was hitting six after six into the pavillion. As each one clattered into the elderly members, scattering papers, glasses and gin and tonics in all directions, one wag shouted out...." For God's sake stop this...

    [News] Charles Aznavour

    Me too. They played this at my Uncle's funeral ( someone who lived life to the full ) and it couldn't have been more appropriate. Beautiful, evocative song.......one of my all time favourites.
