    [Albion] Which (if any) U21s will eventually make it to be first team regulars?

    I honestly have no idea. In the past I've made predictions and been completely wrong. I thought Jayson Molumby and Mark Leonard (at different times) were future Albion mainstays. Interested what others think...

    [Albion] What do you think our style of football is?

    Extreme tactical fluidity and complexity (is the aim). However, we're a long way from achieving it yet. I guess if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. I think FH's ideas demand a lot of the players' ability to make decisions in the moment, depending on a whole range of variables. I'm not...

    [Albion] Fab OUT

    Could it be that FH is actually very ambitious technically with quite complicated tactics that are brilliant when they work, but make us look like amateurs when they don't come off? If this is the case, maybe our recent problems stem from the players having not got to grips fully with his ideas...

    [Albion] The Albion model... slight concern

    I must admit I don't feel comfortable discussing the financial side of the club. I always just assume that people with far better knowledge and understanding than me know what they're doing. If we spend a lot on one player, it's not my money so I'm not going to worry about it. Besides, Tony's...

    [Albion] Fannying about at the back

    I get the whole FAATB when we are trying to invite the press in order to break forward and create overloads further down the pitch. What puzzles me is when we do this at 2 goals up and with 10 mins to play. Surely the risk:reward calculus changes depending on the score. How I'd love to see some...

    [Albion] If Jamie Vardy played for the Albion …..

    Yes, the wink is key to interpreting this post! I get the impression that a large proportion of fans consider Vardy to be a dickhead. I don't really take a view, but then I don't read tabloids or other gossip.

    [Albion] If Jamie Vardy played for the Albion …..

    It would simply never happen due to our 'no dick heads' rule. 😉

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I certainly want to believe that Trump will do the right thing by Ukraine. However, I think this essentially means double crossing Putin, the person who has carefully cultivated him for decades. Now I wouldn't put that kind of disloyalty past Trump, but I don't want to get my hopes up...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Seems positive, but he's so slippery and like most politicians, uses ambiguous language. My worry is that he'll somehow get Putin off the hook in a deal that he presents as compromise or even win:win. To me, this is zero sum. For Ukraine to achieve a fair outcome, Russia has to give back...

    [Albion] Minteh

    Thanks, I wouldn't say I agree with Fab necessarily. I'm genuinely interested to know what people, including yourself, think is the reason Gruda is not currently ahead of Minteh. Presumably Fab rates him (Gruda) or he never would have been signed.

    [Albion] Minteh

    Serious question here: If Gruda is streets ahead of him atm, why do you think he's not getting the minutes? Is it because Fab felt we needed pace more than anything at that moment in the game?

    [Albion] What are we? Weak, Cowards, Comfortable, Arrogant, Flaky, Spineless or Fragile?

    What are we? An exciting project; a work in progress, with all the ups and downs that this entails. I would describe our squad of (mostly) young, talented, raw players as inconsistent - which is to be expected given our circumstances. Individual results this season have ranged from bloody...

    [Albion] Fab OUT

    Much keeps being made of our '200 million' summer spend as if that should make us world beaters. However, not one of these players was/is proven, PL standard. They have all come from other leagues and to a man, were bought for their potential. They are unpolished gems, so we are bound to have...

    [Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Exactly my point. Would anyone have predicted he would do that?!

    Yep. Also, remember when Igor was our best centre back according to some on here?

    [Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Silver lining: only 16 more points and we're safe from relegation. I'm old enough to remember when this was our primary aim for at least the first three seasons in the PL. As for getting a metaphorical kick in the gonads, imagine being a Leicester fan - winning the league less than 10 years...

    He's their captain. The only one from each team allowed to communicate with the ref. He's still a tw@t mind.
