[Albion] Paul Barber press conference 10am 21.05.24 live on youtube

[Arthur]

On the basis of the above i won’t then, however i’ve just wasted the very same 15 minutes reading the ‘Who’s bigger Brighton or Ipswich thread’

Who won?

 

[Arthur]

It fully maintained the cordial nature of this situation and showed Roberto the respect he deserved. It's done now and we move on.

Oh don't get me wrong I wasn't expecting anything else. Just thought I'd serve as a public service announcement for others on here.

 

[raymondo]

Was it?

Didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know and he answered every question like a politician. Not that I'm surprised about that it's Barber after all.

If you are thinking of watching it save yourself 15 minutes of your life and don't bother.

Think of it as meditation....

 

[Eric the meek]

Why do I listen to Paul Barber?

I know he's not going to tell me anything juicy, but I still tune in anyway on the off chance he might let something slip.

It's a bit like being a Brighton fan. It's the hope that keeps you going.

Long thought this about PBOBE. Can talk a lot without actually telling you anything other than reinforcing his point he wanted to get across.

Which is why he’s a bloody good CEO.

 

[el punal]

I got served a bottle with the top on Sunday. Whoop!

So it was you that won the golden ticket!

 

[el punal]

And what about the return of the sweet trolley to the West Stand Upper?

You ever tried to push a sweet trolley up a 100+ steps?

 

[BNthree]

I don't disagree.

I once spent a couple of hours with Tony Bloom on the train on the way back from Forest away. I asked him so many questions, about everything I ever wanted to know about the Albion. Even though he had polished off a large number of cans of cider, he still managed to answer every one of them in an engaging and friendly way, without actually giving anything remotely sensitive or controversial away. It's a serious skill to be able to do that. A skill I have never quite nailed.

 

[METALMICKY]

Allegedly the sweet trolley went because whoever supplied them were caught flogging stuff past it's sell by date. I may have dodged death by ancient jelly Teddy!

If that had been me, it would all have come out. Detailed recollections of arguments with RDZ, a full, unabridged list of candidates for the manager role, complete with percentage probabilities of success, compensation/buy out fees and predicted salary packages.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Any news regarding the 1901 coat rail?

Yes, the club have listened, and are going to ban coats

It’s reassuring us that everything is ok

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

As usual an excellent showing from Paul

 

[Hamilton]

So did we in East Upper. It was total carnage.

I must admit, I did feel compelled to throw the bottle at someone. It was all I could do to contain myself!

 

[el punal]

You’re probably right. I was told it was because they were selling edible butt plugs.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

They'd better have been edible.

 

[zefarelly]

I want to know what De Zerbi threw/broke in the office during the ‘discussion’

A sworovski ashtray?

I have always had trouble remembering not to call a complete arse a complete arse. I'm even on some video somewhere in Holland singing loudly at the the top of my voice that 'Richard is a wanker, la la la la', and so on....

Well - he was. So I have to say it!

Keeping your actual thoughts to yourself is, as you say, a rare skill.
