    [Football] Questionnaire for Brighton fans on the significance of football stadium names

    Done. I think the stadium was built in a place of not much geographical significance compared to the rest of the city. (I can imagine a different perception if we'd ended up in Shoreham Harbour or Waterhall for example). Add in the fact that the Albion are a bit of a unique case because of the...

    [Football] Who is the WORST football pundit out there currently?

    There is a fella that co-commentates for Sky Sports and quite often ends up on a lot of the Albion games for BEIN Sports and the other dodgy streams. No idea what his name is but every time I hear his voice I know that utter dross is going to spill out sooner rather than later. ...and Chris...

    [Albion] Tonights ref Kevin Friend

    View from the TV (via laptop>via dodgy stream). Murray pen - Shocking decision, 100% won the ball. Hilarious 2nd pen not given - actually a pen, levelled out the earlier one. Wasn't a corner either, all worked out nicely in the end. Duffy red - stupid, literally right in front of the ref, only...

    [Music] Songs in which real people are namechecked in the title or the lyrics

    Thou Shalt Always Kill by Scroobious Pip has to be the winner. The Beatles were just a band Led Zeppelin, just a band The Beach Boys, just a band The Sex Pistols, just a band The Clash, just a band Crass, just a band Minor Threat, just a band The Cure were just a band The Smiths, just a band...

    [Football] Congratulations to Huddersfield

    I said at the start of the season I wanted them to stay up (as long as its not at our expense of course) Now i'm happy because I can see them taking one of the bottom spots next year. That Lossl save in the last minute against Chelsea has to go down as the save of the season considering what...

    [Football] Ticket Prices

    Will do. The aim of the study isn't so much to find out how much people agree with each question, but more to see if regression analysis can be used on one section to predict answers for the other. ie based on your answers for the commodification section, I can predict fairly accurately your...

    [Football] Ticket Prices

    Afternoon guys, I'm focusing my research project on ticket prices in English football and to see how commercialisation of English football affects supporters in attending live football matches. May interest you that the Premier League (95%) has a higher attendance rate than Germany (90%)...

    [Albion] Will the lack of a “new manager bounce” be what costs us in the end?

    I've been researching for a sports management paper I'm writing on the managerial bounce, almost all previous studies have found changing manager damages results. Including two separate Dutch studies that found teams that improved their results did so at a lower rate than the control group...

    [Albion] How long before Hughton is poached?

    He's always been open and honest about his Spurs connection. Luckily Poch is the only man in the league who's job is more safe than CH.

    [Albion] Did you boo Wayne Rooney?

    Gave the odd cheer whenever he gave the ball away but didn't think he deserved a booing

    [Albion] Garth Crooks/Team of the Week

    Ive been getting the feeling that most pundits and media dont want to give us too much attention past the journey to get here. Like they may as well not bother learning the substitutes names because they wont be around next season so we'll just pay them lip service until then. I dont mind...

    Overheard at the Amex 2017

    I'm sure it will be beaten over the course of the season but an early favourite overheard comment in the North Stand on Saturday [City free kick, 25 yards out] "I hope De Bruyne takes it, he's f*****g useless" ...in fairness he did put it into the wall and i've always thought he was a touch...
