    [Albion] Is it normal for 30% of our support to leave when we go 2 goals down?

    I’m unapologetic about leaving at the 80th minute which I was always going to do regardless of score. It’ll get me 4.5 hours in bed before work after getting through today on similar lack of sleep. Staying to the end would have cut sleep by another 30 minutes or more. 99 times out of 100 I’ll...

    [Help] What is your first name?

    I’m sure Richard Coles once said something about having never baptised a Nigel and being taken aback to baptise a Gary, both names on the way out.

    [Albion] Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    In Victoria earlier with time to kill so have decided to walk from there to Craven Cottage. Making sure to get a good BOOOOO in on my way past Stamford Bridge. Though good of them to name an entrance commemorating the conspiracy to prevent sales of hot slightly gross meaty drinks.

    [Food] Beloved sweets, drinks and treats from your past

    My father in law used to complain my daughter had something wrong with her because he couldn’t understand why she’d go insane and run around screaming at their house in the morning but nowhere else. We discovered that when they’d go and get the paper together at 6.30am before breakfast, he’d buy...

    [Food] Beloved sweets, drinks and treats from your past

    Wham bars - not the current version but the same thing when they first came out. The current one is a pale, rock hard imitation of the artificially coloured chewy sugar-bomb of glorious memory.

    [Food] Beloved sweets, drinks and treats from your past

    Me too. That was my chosen special birthday meal one year with chips and beans. Simple pleasures that make me nostalgic.

    [Albion] Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Fulham are my least favourite side to watch ever since their mastery of the enraging tactical falling over on and off the ball to break up play at the Amex a few seasons ago, and the ref who fell for it almost every time because of their elite acting skills despite them then getting up and...

    [News] South Korea - Martial Law

    Thank you. We’ve got a week in Seoul, including Christmas Day, then we’re heading out to Busan for a few days with some day trips too. Mini-Exile loves South Korean culture inspired originally by a love of K-Pop she’s no longer got, so she’s behind why we’re going really, and she’s got a big...

    Thank you, I'll be keeping a close eye on the news in the coming days for sure.

    [Albion] FA Cup third round draw - Norwich away

    Norfolk and Suffolk are great places to visit. Norfolk coast particularly, and parts of Suffolk feel like stumbling across the "green and pleasant" land of mythical England - if you've ever seen The Detectorists that's all filmed in Suffolk. This chap writes about Norfolk history and landscape...

    [Misc] What's your greatest personal sporting achievement or memory as a participant?

    I've run a few marathons in the UK and Europe, and done some open water triathlons too though not for a few years now, but my favourite memory is the Moyleman in 2018. For those who don't know it's a cross-country marathon around Lewes, the 26+ miles taking in several steep climbs, boggy muddy...

    [Albion] Away tickets not yet arrived

    The sad thing is they can't compete with the parcel delivery services. I can send a shoebox with 1kg of Christmas present stuff in it via Evri and it'll be there in 3 days, including Sunday delivery, for £2.94 and I can post it from a load of different places that'll print the label for me and...

    [Albion] Crawley

    2-0 up and conceded 3 of the 4 goals in a 9 minute implosion which I imagine their fans didn’t especially enjoy.
