    [Albion] Among The 18 Players In Today's Squad

    Were just FIVE Brits. Is this a record? A sign of the times? Or cause for concern? [ Particularly ironic too, for a club that's named Albion ]

    [Football] Pointless Palace - Droppings to Blame?

    Maybe Wilf & Co's laughably timid performance last night was somehow connected to the masses of mice colonising [pun intended] the CPFC kitchens? It's all here in the local rag. Perhaps Wilf could submit a contribution to the Restaurant 2018 thread.

    [Albion] Dale Stephens? Really??

    This is a question for those of you with a deep knowledge of the technicalities of the game. We are told regularly that Dale Stephens is an absolutely pivotal member of the team, first name out of the hat, a real players' player, etc, etc. What we non-cognoscenti will actually see is a player...

    [Albion] Albion Roar - Now playing wrong programme?

    Listening live now, and it's all pre-Palace and Spurs games. Someone pressed the wrong button?

    [Albion] Should the Foxes really be quite this confident?

    Just posted on Foxes Talk:- "If we don't feel confident in beating a team like Brighton there''s something wrong with us. We look descent away from home and with vards in a good run of form I can't see them stopping us. 1-2" Hmmm. Descent away from home? No doubt defiantly too.

    [Misc] Another US School Shooting...

    zzzzz..... Thoughts 'n' Prayers, anyone?

    [Albion] Well done, Agent Norwood!

    Nice to see Ollie offering Boro and Pulis a timely reminder at The Riverside this afternoon. Good work.

    [Technology] NSC login failure – iPad. What's going on?

    I can log in (and out) to NSC successfully, on both my iPhone and Windows laptop. But attempting this on the iPad produces an invalid login message. Every time. I've tried everything: deleted all IPad/Safari cookies, changed my password successfully for the other devices – but for the iPad I...

    [Sussex] The Amex's Khaki Roofs - Love 'em or hate 'em?

    When you look at the stadium's roof panels now, it's hard to recall that, six years ago, they were a shiny, bright blue. But once the canopies had begun their slow fade to grey, the overall effect began looking disappointingly dismal, cheap even. Now that has changed yet again. The present...

    The Matchday Experience at Palace…

    For all those moaning about Amex queues, 1901 catering, champagne being served at the wrong temperature, toilet paper the wrong colour etc… Try taking a trip back into the 1970s, with this heartrending eyewitness account, posted on the BBS only this Saturday, of life as it is still lived up the...

    Holding up the Shirt - Why do they do it?

    Whenever a new player signs, the newcomer is inevitably pictured gurning at the camera and holding an Albion shirt aloft. Yes, yes, we do know which club the player has joined – and we do realise the name isn't actually on the back just now. But why on earth do this at all? It's the laziest...

    BT Web Protect: Worth Having, or More Useless Bloatware?

    Being a BT Infinity customer, I've just received an email from them, saying I've now been provided with BT Web Protect. With an option to switch it off, if I don't like it. Now, I've already got Malwarebytes Pro running, and somewhere in the background Windows Defender is going about its...

    BBC Sport – now with added sense of humour?

    Mildy surprised by this, from the BBC Sport report of today's Boro–Citeh encounter:– Boro thought they had secured a valuable win when Calum Chambers poked in from close range on 77 minutes, only for Jesus to rise and convert Sergio Aguero's cross with five minutes remaining. Tut, tut! And on...

    Stadium tours – still running?

    Thought it would be a good idea to take my brother-in-law (former BHA youth player back in the day) on an Amex tour. The ticketing website indicates 'no events available'. So perhaps they're no longer running – anyone know for sure?

    The Great Escape, and NOT Praise You?

    Apologies if it's been raised elsewhere. I was astonished to hear the Great Escape ringing out after the final whistle on Monday night. If ever there was an unimaginably wonderful moment to blare out Praise You, this was surely it. The Great Escape: hackneyed old film tune for teams that have...

    Time to celebrate Knocky's latest triumph - but how?

    "Just don't think you understand?" Bet they all do now. How about this, instead? Loud and proud.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1V0OGCpDCs&feature=youtu.be

    Leeds Fans targeting Knockaert on Saturday - but his father as well?

    Rather unsavoury stuff on this WACCOE thread. All's fair, or beyond the pale?

    Abandoning a BEAMBACK?? – Your excuses please!!

    Amazing scenes in West Lower yesterday, where the tragi-comedy of Stockdale’s keepy-uppy cock-up was matched only by the wholly unexpected stampede from the concourse of several hundred of Albion’s finest the moment tap-in was gratefully completed. Granted, a customer investment totalling two...

    Newcastle Forums - Where are they?

    Huge club, massive fanbase, but try Googling NUFC message boards and all that comes up is a bunch of underwhelming, low-traffic sites - even the supposed go-to site that is nufc-forum.com. That surely can't be all that there is. Where is it that Toon fans do their NSC-ing on the internet - any...
