With a lack of current Albion action to feast upon, I've been enjoying some of the old videos on the club website - particularly those involving our ever-partisan (in a good way) local commentators. For me, the best local match day commentator blends broadcasting professionalism, an articulate...

Has anyone recently acquired or divested a 1901 Licence through an (officially sanctioned) private transfer? if so, in which lounge and how much did it go for? I remember the club making a selling point of the likely appreciation in value of these licences "once we get into the premier...

https://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=106&tid=166166 ....generally falling on deaf ears it seems, albeit with the odd enlightened exception. I know all clubs have some of them, but they really do seem to have more than their fair share of neanderthals.

Anyone hear our Lawro on 5 Iive this afternoon? Before this afternoon's games he said he thinks Newcastle will comfortably finish top of the Championship, given that they have by far the best team......I wonder if he still thinks that.

......articulate, tactically astute, and has developed an average lower league outfit into a reasonable championship side. Yes, I know they've spent some money, but Bournemouth are still punching well above their weight. I'm quite happy with Oscar, but reckon Howe is one of the better managers...

Whatever one thinks of the grimy Northern long-ball merchant, he had a good managerial record and has never been relegated. I have a sneaking feeling that he might just keep the scum up, although I hope I'm wrong (obviously). So reassure me NSC, how likely is it that the dinosaur Pulis will...

Well, got to be worth a couple of quid!

So you are a member of the Board of Directors at Brighton & Hove Albion FC and are drawing up the list of criteria for selection of the next manager. Naturally, you would expect your appointment to tick several important boxes. But hypothetically, (and dress-sense apart), what would be YOUR...

Anyone else see the Football League show / the last few mins footage from the Barnsley / Hudds game? The players heard that Posh were losing at Palace and effectively stopped competing. Not sure if it is cheating, as such, but definitely against the spirit of the game. With a different...

Any one else hear the Eurosport story?

My favourite was always Sing Li next to the station, but not so sure now having read the hygiene thread this evening.:nono: So where does the great and good of NSC consider to be the finest quality chippie in town?

.......I genuinely think we are going backwards. We were beaten fair and square by a better team today. Normally I can live with that. Beaten by West Ham at Upton Park by 6? Fine. Spanked by Liverpool at Anfield? OK. Edged out by Middlesbrough or Cardiff? Even beaten by The Scum at Selhurst. No...

So after a couple of weeks' holiday, I walk to my car this morning to take my daughter to nursery. That's strange, I seem to have got a parking ticket. Surely some mistake, I thought - after all, I have a resident's parking permit. But oh dear, on closer inspection my permit expired at the end...

I'd be interested to hear what NSC considers to be the best generation of Brighton players before this current side. My first ever game was just after we came down from the top flight in 1984, and I believe the side I saw today would beat either Chris Cattlin's team of that year, or Barry...

16th place going into 2012. Is this about what you expected, better, or worse?

Any early thoughts on who should line up for us on Tuesday?

BBC News - High 50p tax rate damages UK, say economists According to HMRC, the 308,000 people who are eligible for this tax (1% of the population) collective contribute 28% of the country's income tax revenue. The number of payers, however, are said to be dwindling due to the flight to less...

By some distance the most impressive speaker (with the possible exception of GP) at The Withdean Years dinner tonight. His passion for the club and everything it stands for is obvious. :bowdown:
