    Yes....a lot of Gus fans still pay no heed to that. He was talking to Reading well before the end of the season and had more than one meeting with them. Everything had been verbally agreed, hands shaken and Gus told Reading he would speak to TB. Reading were so confident of securing his services...

    You need to think back carefully. Not to our Div 1 Championship winning days but to our two seasons in the Championship, where he decided that rolling the ball back and forth between the back four or out to Bridcutt and then backwards, was the way to bore the opposition and our own fans to...

    gus poyet

    I wouldn't show too much sympathy, if I were you. He would have been quite happy to up sticks and go to Reading with Gus and Tarrico. All three of them knew what was going on during that period of time. A time when we were challenging for the play-offs and yet the whole management team had plans...

    Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Bromwich Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Anyone rather than Murphy. The head down shuffle. The all too predictable run, slap bang into a defender. The all too predictable break away from the opposition.

    WBA Squad.

    Many have said that Pulis is the master at PL survival. Well the composition of his squad may give a clue as to his thinking/strategy. GK.........3 DEF........6 MID.......13 FOR.......3 Concentrate on the engine room. Pack the squad with decent midfielders, a solid back line and set the side...

    3rd Investec Test Match - England v West Indies - Lords

    Game in the balance after some very ordinary bowling by England, late yesterday. They had them reeling at 21-2 but failed to tighten the grip. Broad and TRJ the main culprits. Broad's arm is dropping slightly. Don't know whether it is age or fatigue. Both too wayward and too many half volleys...

    3rd Investec Test Match - England v West Indies - Lords

    All quicks in history have been capable of bowling at high speed i.e close to 90mph. Larwood was clearly very hostile and one of the few bowlers to ever make the incomparable Bradman uncomfortable. Frank Tyson bowled as fast as anyone in history in the 54-55 series Down Under, blowing the...

    3rd Investec Test Match - England v West Indies - Lords

    The problem is that we will be presenting the Aussies with 5 gimme wickets every game. No's 2, 3 , 5, 10, 11. Cook's confidence was shot to pieces last time down under and he may crack again, under constant barrage from the quicks. There is going to be huge pressure on Root, Stokes, Bairstow and...

    3rd Investec Test Match - England v West Indies - Lords

    The lower middle order are going to have to get shed loads of runs, as we are going to be 30-3 pretty regularly and on some of those occasions, there will be no recovery.

    The more I see politicians, the more I yearn for the day when we can recognise one of them as the titular head of this country. Above scrutiny, impartial and honest and no agenda to pursue.Their track record is exemplary. Their devotion to the cause unquestioned. Their ability to put the State...

    Yep....the narrowness of the nose at the bridge, the forehead, the supraorbital and temporal ridges and the coronal suture line. Eyes very similar. Mouth likeness. The walk. Posture.

    So there is no work undertaken by the Royal Family. No employment created, no wealth generated, no taxes paid. Is that correct?

    Annual Benefit spending in the UK = £160bn Would suggest you examine some of the parasites drawing from this bottomless pit before venting your spleen on a family that works with charities, business and all walks of life for the betterment of this country. And when you have done that...

    Motor Racing and the late Jim Clark.

    Agree with that. He was very talented and deserves legendary status.

    If you attend...ask him about his father. A right villain.

    Ginger is in the family. The Duke of Kent ( killed in WW2 ) was ginger and Anne has ginger where the sun doesn't shine. You can find ginger in the corgi's and also there was a footman, served between 1932 and 1955, who had ginger sideburns. Enough for you?

    Where do you get that from? Charles only slept with Diana twice and bingo! I would say that was pretty potent.

    Have you ever been 'in the know' on the Albion?

    Had close contacts within the club in the 70's and 80's. Heard the story behind the Mullery/Bamber fallout re Lawrenson before Mullery resigned. Knew of the power struggle between Melia/Cattlin before the board got rid of the former. Got tipped off that Melia was coming back ( on the terraces )...

    Bloom's Open Letter

    Before Jan 1st, we play 21 games, that is 55% of the season. Eleven of those games are away and it is difficult to see more than 5-7 points accruing. Of the ten home games, 6-7 are potentially winnable but being cautious I have gone for 14 points. Therefore, we are going to hit the New Year with...
