    [Albion] Top 4 finish

    I'll be honest I know very little how these things work, but 61 points when we've currently got 22 after 12 games and a potentially decent run coming up seems a bit shy to me.

    [Albion] Aston Vanilla tickets

    Yep, we've got a friend and his son who are MyAlbion+ members over from Australia so there is a group of us waiting for this window to open so we can all get tickets together. There's absolute no need for the club or anyone to shit the bed yet.

    [Film] Do you know someone related to someone famous but....

    I'm distantly related to Parks & Rec actress Rashida Jones and therefore her mother, the late Twin Peaks actress Peggy Lipton. One of my brothers found the connection via the US version of Who Do You Think You Are that Rashida appeared on. We share the same great-great-grandfather or summat...

    [News] Christmas Markets

    Exactly this. A nice pre-Christmas weekend away with the missus visiting some fantastic cities. Everyone friendly and having fun. Lovely dark and cold evenings, drinking loads of gluhwein and eating sausage. As with most things, it's just a rip-off con job over here. Not a single wooden tie...

    [Football] England v Ireland

    I'm a long-lapsed England member and like you signed back up to the ESTC this summer. Did Finland and Greece, but this was the first £25 ticket for me behind the goal. That second half was superb entertainment and I'm really looking forward the World Cup qualifiers, hopefully getting an away...

    [Football] Next MOTD Host

    The way Sky are going it'll probably be Rory Jennings. "And last up yet again tonight is that two-bob team Brighton, despite being reigning Premier League champions and 12 points clear this campaign."

    [Albion] Fabian Hürzeler song

    We had a fantastic song for Uwe Hunemeier that works just as well! "There's only one Fab Hurzeler" works for your example.

    [Albion] Fabian Hürzeler song

    That's not quite what I mean. I think he's fantastic, as I'm sure most fans do. I'm just a little perplexed – and sad – why we're not chanting his name yet. It can't just be because he's not a mad Italian who doesn't do knee slides when we score.

    [Albion] Fabian Hürzeler song

    A few of us tried to get this going at Liverpool, but without much joy. It's the obvious choice. I find it bizarre we haven't sung anything for him yet. Seems to be a bit of disconnect between Fab and the fans, but no idea why.

    [TV] Four Kings - Amazon Prime

    Just had to look this up as I'm sure we played away at West Ham right before fight 1. Crowd spent more time signing for Benn or Eubank than the two teams. Sure enough it was the day before! Looks like we were at home to Millwall the week after the fight.

    [Albion] Liverpool Away parking

    Getting the train this time, but when driven in the past we've parked at the Farmers Arms. Loads of free parking in the side road outside, not even a hint of scallies, decent chippie on the corner (cash only), friendly locals in the pub. It is about 20 minutes walk from Anfield, but it's handy...

    [Albion] Pyecombe Park & Ride for Wednesday?

    Quite bizarrely, try putting in "0" car parking spaces. Just worked for me.

    [Albion] Danny Welbeck.

    Paramedic is working at the game. Treats Danny, takes him to the nearby hospital. Danny is discharged 30 minutes later. Paramedic's shift is now ended. Goes to a pub in town on a Saturday evening. Chats to Brighton fans who are staying over for the weekend. Talk turns to the match. Paramedic...

    [Music] RIP Paul Di’Anno

    I really became aware of Maiden as a kid with Powerslave, which I adored and still do. I definitely bought No Prayer for the Dying when it came out in 1990, but I think it – and the band – got a bit lost to me during the whole grunge and indie era. Was reintroduced when someone got me a best of...

    [Music] RIP Paul Di’Anno

    Love a bit of Maiden and still get excited when they release a new album. Obviously a big fan of the "classic" era, but the trio of albums when Bruce came back (Brave New World, Dance of Death, and A Matter of Life and Death) is my favourite period I think. I quite like the proggy epics. Might...

    [Albion] Newcastle away

    For those who like a bit a craft, the Newcastle Tap pretty much opposite the station is decent, but busy. For those with a bit more time, then I heartily recommend Beer Street Micropub. Turn right out station, right again through the railway bridge, then first left. Good selection of cans for...

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2024/25 Edition

    Dulwich Hamlet v Hastings for me tomorrow. Always a decent atmosphere there, cracking shawarma and good beer.

    [Albion] EFL / Carabao Cup Fourth Round draw [Liverpool at home]

    No. The contract is only made when the exchange of goods and money has been made. Of course companies will often honour any price errors, but they're not legally obliged to do so. A-Level Law

    [Brighton] new Documentary tonight about the Brighton Bombing

    Pretty sure I'd never heard of Airey Neave before this documentary. He was the Tory MP killed by the car bomb just before the 1979 election. I'm currently reading D-Day by Antony Beevor and he only got a mention today in the chapter about the liberation of Paris. Bizarre. Apparently he was also...
