Despite the beautiful result, I’ve got to report that tonight was the worst display of diving I’ve witnessed live.
One of the worst culprits was our Japanese dribble king: it was embarrassing. They were nearly all at it.
The solution? Book them, send them off. It’s embarrassing.
Firstly, what a fantastic afternoon: Falmer was rocking-even more so than after the Manure result.
Secondly (and lastly), just listened to the 5 live post match Potter interview. He couldn’t stop himself from taking a swipe at the Albion fans for not helping the team usually with our support...
Can’t help feeling that the ‘suits’ at the Albion might have seriously misread the room here…

Does anyone know why the old bill/clubs haven’t chosen to change the time of this match?
Is it like one of those old fashioned sociological experiments to see what will happen when two aggressive and anti objects are chucked inside a bowl? Potentially an exciting experiment I’d say!
The fact that over half our team took to the pitch yesterday wearing gloves on a not particularly cold day (whilst no Burnley players did so) did not bode well for what was to follow. Discuss.
My memories of Poyet’s reign are mixed: ranging from occasional euphoria to, on very many an occasion, avoiding a speedy return from my half time pint because of the footballing fayre being dished out above. Having read this article, I may have to re-assess my view of history as Poyet’s track...
Despite our new manager’s various MA’s in somethingorother, I might suggest that he need some further work on presenting a positive face and voice in front of the mic and camera. Unfortunately, these things matter.
Now, from my position in the north west corner (and walking past him recently on Church Road where he came up to about my shoulder) it is quite clear that our Australian goal keeper Mattthew Ryan is NOT 1.84 metres (also known as a tad over over 6 feet). Maybe in his roller skates but definitely...
'And now the one you've been waiting for...Dean Hammond'
'Don't shoot the messenger. My information is not true.'
He's like one of those incredibly annoying (think they) know it all kids you went to school with, the sort who'd get you into trouble with the teacher. Wish he'd move back to Stoke...
Dear Fellow Worshippers Of The Blue And White Stripes,
Last April I ventured East to watch our (mostly still hungover) team suffer a 2-0 reverse against Norwich 'thanks' to a brace of own goals by David Stockdale. Unable to secure a ticket in the Albion section, I sat directly behind the goal...
Am becoming increasingly uncomfortable about how our Cameroonian left back Gaetan Bong seems to be being singled out by some of our supporters when he makes the occasional mistake in the blue and white stripes.
From where I sit he makes no more mistakes than a couple of our other players and I...
Since Poyet (and Vicente) left, watching the Albion has been so f***** boring.
Garcia introduced an uber-boring brand of football, then left. Luckily, for him (and us) Poyet had left him a gift of a striker from Argentina to provide some golden moments. Then we sold him.
Hyypia was brought in...
Please play Paddy McCourt FFS! He's our best player; most exciting player to don the Albion shirt since Vicente. Come on Hypia: give the fans what they want!
Cannot recall being so excited about a sub's performance as yesterday when McCourt came on. He looked absolute class: a few of his passes and shots were Vicentesque!
We need to do whatever needs doing to get the guy match fit as he could well get himself a legends flag with the natural quality...
Norway 0 Scotland 1. Have the Albion ever had a less appreciated player than Gordon Greer? Deserves more respect from the North Stand; one of Poyet's most astute signings. Respect to Gordon Greer.
This bloke has been such a brilliant signing, his Glasweigan 'kiss' on his debut (I think) against Rochdale proved he meant business!
Can't believe he still has his critics (well I can-he's a good Scotsman), we really should have sorted out a rapturous North Stand song for him by now.
Total...
