It's a4 from me. I have this vague memory of Albion sending a scout to N Ireland in the 60's to sign a forward and coming back with a goalkeeper. I have that same detached cheated feeling again. All those weeks when the supporters thought we wanted some strikers - did the club really feel the...

The Longest Day. Silent Running Help!

Akinfenwa and Jake Robinson.

Meanwhile. I have just discovered that one of our earlier targets, Neymar, who signed elsewhere, earns (earns!) my weekly wage every 4 (that's 4) minutes. I'll be on screen in my British Heart Foundation suit and Crocs.

How odd is that. Start a thread about the Combination League, and the League Cup gives us Bournemouth Reserves v Brighton Reserves!

Think the A team played in the Metropolitan League. I have some old programmes v Tonbridge, Dartford and the like. This was the youth team

Many a long year ago proper reserve teams played proper reserve team football in the Combination league. It wasn't a development squad, or an under 23 squad, but a reserve team in which those not in the first team or those coming back from injury played against the reserves of other teams. It...

Course, when I used to play football I never had a bad game, at least not unless I meant to.

If we could do the double over Burton and others last season, why can't we beat the likes of Manchester City and Leicester this?

This hits the nail on the head. I've been watching the Albion for years ( 4-6 v Middlesbrough anyone?), had a season ticket which Sky pretty much scuppered, so returned to going when I could, particularly reachable away games. Now? Small chance of home tickets, outside chance of going to Stoke...

From where I was watching - behind my sofa in the north wing - I thought Bruno was our MoM against MCity. Wish he had 5 more years in him. Truly a class professional , though I couldn't cope with the brown rice!

I thought the ref had made a simple counting error: they had fifteen men on the pitch, didn't they? A new striker would have made no difference to us today, but please let's get one sooner rather than later to face those teams we might get something from. Bruno must wish he was ten years...

Best: East Preston. Worst: Coldean.

I personally think I should get 3 years for writing this.

When I was younger I loved a good terrace. I'm doddery now, and need to sit for games. Bloomin' annoying when those n front of you stand in your view. Even had a junior stood on a seat in front of me at Reading once. Excellent. But I still support safe standing. It would allow old farts like me...

Albion remain the champions of div 3(S).

Laphroaig is excellent. The Talisker from the Isle of Skye is excellent.

Put the blankets down for the dogs. Get the understairs maids to "comfort" me at night.

Does anybody else find second attempts years later helps? My first attempt to read Moby Dick ended with the book in the rubbish bin. Second time around I thought it was brilliant. Same with Crime and Punishment. However, after about a dozen reads of Lord of the Rings, and several reads of The...
