There are so many threads that start with a player's name. I simply wanted to see this especially ludicrous name up there. Were his parents cruelly sadistic, or naively unaware of the certainty of playground Spoonerisms making their wee laddie's life a misery?

Just to give you all early warning for a change, the next meeting of Seagulls Over London will be on Wednesday, 22nd March. Guest speaker will be Charlie Oatway. More details to follow nearer the time. Mods, no need to make this a sticky... the occasional :bounce: should do the trick.

Racism - or Reason? London Irish’s deliberate conflation of religious criticism with racism is unworthy of an intelligent mind. But it’s a trick used by both ends of the political spectrum. The right uses opposition to Islam as a fig-leaf for its racial hatred of Asians more generally. The left...

But somehow, after back-to-back championships, three promotions in four years, £2m income from player sales in 12 months, a new stadium on the way, and the most successful youth team development policy ever.... Not quite as doomed as in 1997. :cool: Whinge, anyone?

See this link for a vast collection of images of Muhamed, created over the centuries, and seemingly unnoticed by today's bunch of rabble-rousing politicians who call themselves mullahs. Pictures of the prophet -- produced by Muslims -- are nothing new. The current storm over the cartoons is...

This one is timed at 14.03. I think the world record of 3 min 23 sec is still held by a 'joke' from E-block Ernie back in 2003. Anyone replying will spoil the game of course...

The club website is offering THIS prize in its Heroes and Winners competition. Win Hospitality at Withdean But the latest prize to be offered is the chance to enjoy hospitality with five friends at an Albion home game in the brand new hospitality suite at Withdean - worth over £800! I had no...

Pretty astonishing stuff in the Argus today from the London Whale's would-be rescuers: -- Mr Marsh said: "It was very, very emotional. There were 12 of us medics with it and it was really, really upsetting." The crew put all the lights out on the barge to preserve the whale's dignity as it...

Surely there's an Islamic Pat Robertson ready to say that those unlucky 360 Hajj 'pilgrims' brought it all on themselves. Should they really have mucked around with those old devil-pillars - even if only to make the magic ritual conform with Saudi's legendary Health and Safety at Work Act...

Seagulls over London – Next meeting TONIGHT! The next meeting of Seagulls over London will be held on January 12th - TONIGHT. Guest speakers Steve Ford and Alan Sanders will be talking about Albion In The Community. This recently formed charitable trust is a cornerstone of the financial and...

As a panellist on Any Questions 20.00 - 20.50. Master Baker has been talking about why Kennedy should step down. And what a good publication Private Eye is. Didn't mention its grotesque misreporting of Falmer, funnily enough...

Just happened upon this six-year-old assessment of certain players in the then Bristol Rovers squad. Where are they now? BRISTOL ROVERS Michel Kuipers: - Has failed to be a hit since signing from Dutch club SWD Amsterdam. Steve Foster: - A fans favourite and a regular in the side in the...

I've only just happened upon this photo in the Argus archive. It's the best I've ever seen exposing the reality of the Stadium site and its surroundings. [/URL][/IMG] Anyone know of an even better single image that can be used routinely to put the Nimbys' fraudulent, ludicrous case into a...

Here's this week's Rotten Boroughs entry. A fine example of objective reporting and clear-eyed, unbiased comment... All our old favourites unquestioningly repeated: Building on an AONB, plans rejected by two inspectors, Prescott: "stadium not in the national interest, dangerous precedent, etc...

From the BBC website report of last night's Birmingham - West Ham game. "Zamora went close when his flashing header cannoned back off the bar, but the former Brighton hitman soon got on to the scoresheet. He dribbled into the area, wonderfully evading four tackles and with the outside of his...

Anyone doubting why FFA is going for the jugular with Lewes LibDems needs to read these two press releases:- Anger at Victimisation of LDC Leader Government tramples on local residents stadium concerns [ See totally misleading picture.... ] Many NSC people are aghast that an otherwise...

George Best was a truly great and talented footballer. Undoubtedly one of English football's best-ever. But he had no connection whatsoever with the Albion. Glen Wilson was an honest hard-working pro. Our first silverware winning, inspirational captain, as well as being the club's physio, kit...

Letter: Find a new tribute if we win "When the Albion beat Plymouth Argylle at Withdean back in August, the stadium announcer played a ghastly speeded-up version of Sussex By The Sea and threatened to play it after every home win. We have not won at Withdean in seven attempts since then...

Further evidence of what a decent guy he really is. We all came away with a really good impression of CKR - actually the first current squad player in years to come along and meet the Albion's London-based fans. Matt Hicks was excellent too - big thanks to both of them!
