    [Albion] Starting XI for Bournemouth

    Very likely that only 2 of those will start this match against them. Bart and either Igor or Dunk. A totally different prospect from our previous encounter.

    [Football] Fans in Sydney

    No need to leave Sydney to find a Brighton - one just to the south of the airport In fact there’s a Brighton in every state capital city - Adelaide even has a Hove as well

    [Albion] Best League Debut?

    Yes, you're right. Was at that match too - Reading Away, 1st game of the season. Whilst his career as a pro footballer soon fizzled out he completely switched professions to become a lawyer and is now CEO of the PFA

    [Albion] Man City arriving on the back of three straight defeats

    Bunch of bottlers on Blue Moon And, maybe for the first time in the Pep era, they consider themselves more likely to lose a game rather than win or even draw it.

    £2,200 at the 1994 World Cup. Had a £50 double for both Romania @ 4/1 and Mexico @ 8/1 to win their respective Groups. Happened to be in Portofino for Mexico’s final group game against Italy who were also in their group and when the Mexicans equalised, my wife, her sister and brother-in-law, who...

    [Other Sport] Tony Bloom's horses running thread

    Multiple protest - 2nd against 1st and 5th against 2nd. Both were for being impeded but the stewards considered any obstruction wasn’t enough to affect the result and they were both dismissed. Picked up a shade under $1,500 (£800)

    [Other Sport] Tony Bloom’s, Lake Forest, wins the $10 million ‘Golden Eagle’ at Rosehill in Sydney today

    Thought this deserves a wider audience. ‘The Golden Eagle’ is the 2nd richest horse race in Australia - more prize money than ‘The Melbourne Cup’ Backed in very late from 33’s into 22/1 never looked a hope until about 150m out when it got a dream rails run and survived a long protest (stewards...

    It only went and went and won it didn’t it !!! 4th last of 20 most of the way, found a gap and got a brilliant run on the rails - absolutely flying home, won by a neck and survived a long protest. Cheers Tony 🍻💰

    Has a runner, Lake Forest, in the $10 million ‘Golden Eagle’ here in Sydney at Rosehill tomorrow. Second richest race in Australia after ‘The Everest’ ($20 million). Melbourne Cup is 3rd richest with $7.5 million. Race is over 1500m and is for 4-year olds only - Lake Forest is a 33/1 shot...

    [Albion] Liverpool Away parking

    No need to book or pay for any parking. Parked here at Rupert Lane Free Parking for Everton. Around 60 parking bays with only about 3 taken when I arrived a couple of hours before the match and still over 40 vacant when I returned after the joys of winning 3-0 Just a 20 minute walk to Anfield...

    [Drinking] What is your preferred way of ordering drinks in a pub/bar?

    I like the simplicity that the Spanish employ at their local markets. Walk up to the stall, ask "who's last" ? That person sticks their hand up, so you know you're after them. Next person arrives at the stall, asks the question and you raise your hand and so on.

    [Football] Everton away - things to do / avoid

    Are you kidding ? Barely a 15 minute stroll across Stanley Park. Arkles was absolutely rammed with Brighton opening game of the season.
