    [Albion] AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Not sure what to expect today. Both sides missing some key players. About time we broke the run of defeats against you guys. Our main problem is that we make loads of chances but don't put them away. Both Luton and Villa away a case in point - murdered them 1st half but didnt take our chances...

    [Football] "One of the brightest young managers in the Premier League"

    Just watched the game back on TV and it wasn't a foul. Ake got the ball and Gross's legs got tangled up. Ref rightly played on as it wasn't a serious, or head injury. Only Gross knows whether he stayed down in an attempt to get the game stopped, but he was subbed very shortly afterwards, and...

    [Football] "One of the brightest young managers in the Premier League"

    Suffered a cruciate injury in the 2nd home game for us and not been the same since. Looked excellent up to that point. Just to correct a bit of history in earlier posts in this thread. Howe left for Burnley largely due to interference from the then Chairman e.g coming into the dressing room at...

    [Albion] You are the ref: Dale Stephens' challenge on Gaston Ramirez

    If he has stopped play to sanction Stephens for the tackle, then the restart HAS to be a free kick. Restarting with a dropped ball is just plain wrong in law. I don't have a recording of the game so can't look back to see what the restart was.

    [Albion] You are the ref: Dale Stephens' challenge on Gaston Ramirez

    From the Laws of the game: Careless- free kick, no further action. Reckless - Yellow card Using excessive force or playing in a manner likely to endanger an opponent - Red card. By your on definition then, it's a yellow card, not a red. For my money it's a pure accident, 50/50 at least and...

    Live Aid

    This anniversary seems to have gone almost un-noticed in the media, though Wave 105 had a show dedicated to it last night. I remember trying to buy some blank videos on the way home from work so I could record it, but everyone had sold out! 10 years ago, the concert was finally released as a...

    Tell me about Tv aerial advice.

    Have a look around your locality and see what other aerial installations on nearby houses are like. If they are on tall poles with relatively beefy antennas then the chances are you'll need an outside antenna as well. If you are in a good reception area then you may well get away with one in...

    Was the Bournemouth defeat 'harsh'?

    On balance of play as a whole... defeat possibly harsh on you. Difference between the sides being that we had that little bit of extra class up top when it mattered.

    [Albion] ***Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth Official match thread***

    We were poor for large periods tonight - probably as bad as we have played all season.- Luckily a couple of bits of magic from Yann saw us through. Brighton worked hard and played well, stopped us, but without really having a cutting edge. If you guys can sort out your scoring problems over the...

    Chinatown London

    Yeung Cheng in Lisle street is the one me and the Mrs usually visit when I take her shopping in Chinatown. Roast duck to die for.

    I'm talking instinctive body language here, not vocal appeals for decisions.
