    [Albion] Marc Cucurella *Signed For Chelsea 05/08/2022*

    I think I'd settle for that. He deserves Champions League football in the near future with a big club but another season with us would arguably be best for him and for us. Well, certainly for us. Hopefully for him.

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2022/23 Edition

    I imagine Eastbourne Borough will bring a largeish contingent. They always did when Lewes were in the same league.

    [Albion] Leandro Trossard SIGNS ON A FOUR-YEAR DEAL

    Yes, I've thought this for a while too. I'd struggle to present the evidence for this claim if I was pressed, but having seen them go toe to toe in many games now it has often seemed like there was a bit of niggle there. I certainly don't remember any warm handshakes or backslaps at the final...

    [Help] Urgent help needed please - West End cocktails?

    This place (in Soho) was quite good fun when we went a couple of years ago. It probably helps if you like vermouth, and you definitely should: https://www.meleepere.co.uk/

    [Albion] Bissouma (Gone to Spurs 17/06/2022)

    Seems like a complex character to me. I'm not sure I can second-guess how he's feeling or where he's headed based on the very little I know about him. Would absolutely love him to stay but I think the club has been clever in how it has created a situation where, although there's no direct...

    [Misc] Would you like to own a gun?

    Our gun laws are among the last things we can say we do better than many other countries. Long may it stay that way.

    [Albion] The end-of-season Albion Mojometer

    The question is about how we're feeling right here, right now, and after yesterday it has to be a 10 from me. As GP says, it hasn't always been a straightforward season, but we ended it in some style.

    [Football] Europa Cup Final

    Watched the 90 minutes but couldn't be bothered with extra time. I know we're incredibly spoiled as Brighton fans these days and we can all remember the recent past when our football was several levels below where it is today. But I thought the standard last night was pretty poor – like a...

    [Music] Songs that make mention of Hastings

    Yes but they're all on that line – Lancing and Sompting (groovy) spring to mind.

    [Football] Premier League Player and Manager of the season

    I met an Argentinian this week and got talking at length about football. He's a River Plate fan and knows his stuff – very knowledgeable about the Premier League and the other big European leagues. He said his favourite player in the world was Kevin de Bruyne and I found myself agreeing with...

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2021/22 Edition

    They had a great season all things considered and few would have predicted sixth place. Hope they kick on from there next season. Seems like a good bunch of players and a likeable, energised manager.

    [TV] FA Cup Final

    Nor do I – again, quite genuinely. I do know that Man City are one of the teams because it was mentioned in last night's commentary. But maybe I'm thinking of Chelsea as I watched some of both games.

    [Albion] Amex ground plans.

    Might be being thick but does this mean we lose the food and coffee shacks that sit along that stretch of the outer concourse? Or are they simply not shown on the mock-up as they're nothing to do with the planning application?

    [Albion] Ever Seen Us Play Better?

    And I'm STILL annoyed about how many Millwall fans got into the North Stand that day.

    [Albion] Ever Seen Us Play Better?

    Best performance I've ever seen by a Brighton team, certainly. There have been far bigger games, at four different levels, but I have never seen us so near perfection. It's worth watching it again on Sky, because it's as good if not better than it seemed at the time.

    [Football] Who Did You Come To Watch Yesterday

    Delighted to have seen Ronaldo play in the flesh and said before the game that I wouldn't begrudge him a consolation screamer once Brighton were 5-0 up. For quite a long time during the match I actually thought this prediction would come true. Part of the appeal of being promoted to the Prem...

    [Drinking] Fridat afternoon / Evening drinking thread

    Tio Pepe En Rama. Unfiltered fino sherry, nice and cool; wild, funky and tangy, followed by something red no doubt.

    [News] The Argus hits rock bottom

    You're right, those errors are poor, but it's what happens when journalists are under pressure to produce a lot of copy in a short space of time. Sometimes these are quite junior people. In the old days (and we're talking print rather than digital of course) there was a whole chain of command...

    [News] The Argus hits rock bottom

    As a former local journo I've watched with dismay how once-thriving newspapers have been starved of funds, and staff, and training, and all the rest of it. This is simply down to the arrival of the internet. Back in the 80s, when I started out, local newspapers were the most important way of...

    [Albion] Doncaster intense.

    Weird how I remember almost nothing about the game. The banner thing that the Doncaster players held towards the Brighton fans during the warm up, and the sendings off, the rain, and the pitch invasion ... all that. But very little else. Mind you I'm like that after most games these days. Half...
