    [Albion] Ben White Signs new deal

    I think the chances of him being sold in January are near zero. I don't think there's much chance of him being sold next summer either if we stay up. We don't need the money and he's contracted until 2022. If we play him in the PL next season and he puts in the level of performance for us...

    [Albion] Ben White Signs new deal

    I see you have avoided putting a name to this, presumably to spare the moron concerned embarrassment. A quick google reveals it's Noel Whelan. I think the ex-Leeds player and current Leeds match-day commentator maybe letting his allegiances cloud his so-called 'thinking'. If we sold him in...

    [Albion] Albion 1st-year scholars for 2019-20

    Presumably this can be updated to: P:20 W:17 D:2 L:1 GF:53 GA:25

    [Albion] Where would you be looking to strengthen in January?

    I didn't know much about this player prior to this season other than he was on loan at Wycombe and had featured in a few England youth teams, but I am a big fan now. Lots to like about him: hard to dispossess, quick, can dribble, scores and assists, can play anywhere in midfield, accurate...

    [Football] Football on Cruise ships

    We went on a RC cruise from Southampton last year and I watched Brighton v Man Utd onboard. I think they had every game televised by Sky and BT Sports available. I'd be very surprised if the cup final was not shown.

    [Albion] TalkSport’s dodgy ‘supercomputer’ predicts final Premier League table

    No idea about their methodology but Smarterscout's algorithm really likes us. They have our most likely finishing position as 5th and give us a 77% chance of a top half finish. 4.5% of a champions league spot (!!) and just 0.2% chance of relegation.

    [Football] I hope this lot are very wrong!

    By her own admission she wants Potter to succeed. I hope this means she publishes a follow-up article soon to look at our season so far.

    [Football] I hope this lot are very wrong!

    Wow. A lot of Merson-esque comments along the lines of "if I haven't heard of a signing then they must be sh*t" Far too much weight given to a lack of PL managerial experience too IMO.

    [Albion] Dec and Jan TV Dates Announced Today

    Worth considering walking the 2 plus miles to Turnpike Lane or Blackhorse Road if you don't mind walking and don't fancy queuing I reckon.

    [Albion] Dec and Jan TV Dates Announced Today

    There seems to be an hourly service scheduled between Brighton and Victoria, but the last one back is 9:20pm. So if the rumours about 2 8pm kick offs are true and our game gets moved to that slot then taking the train is out. As far as I can tell most of the underground is running, but most of...

    [Albion] Liverpool target Ben White for £20m

    4 or 5 minutes, but I was sure I had commented on the match (and specifically on White's performance) for the benefit of my less loyal friends who had not bothered going, and I was curious to look back on what I said. I will remind everyone of my uncanny judgement when he gets his first England...

    [Albion] Liverpool target Ben White for £20m

    He had 2 starts in 2016 in the league cup for us against Colchester and Oxford when he was 18. I was at the former, and actually remember being impressed with how assured he was on the ball. Edit: Just checked my WhatsApp messages from that evening: "Norwood is class", "Holla is still s*it"...

    [Albion] Amex Roof

    Here's one with the green roofs. Presumably this dates from a bit before your photo, prior to the decision to drop the green roofs.

    I remember that building too, but finding any pictures is proving hard.

    [Albion] Amex Roof

    It was only the North and South ends that were originally planned to be turfed. I think the rest was always planned to be translucent.

    That's disappointing to hear. I was hoping all it needed was a good scrub.

    [Albion] Amex Roof

    Anyone else notice how dirty and faded it's looking now? A reminder of what it used to look like: :down:
