To the tune "Those were the days" Alexis Mac Allister, Alexis Mac Allister, Is he Scottish or Argentinian? Alexis Mac Allister, Alexis Mac Allister, Oh we don't care, he plays for the Albion! La, La, La, La,La, La etc etc

This thread really wasn’t supposed to be “Another thread blaming everything and anything except the manager” or even another Potter in or out debate. It was just about the mental anguish we as Albion fans have to go through. Two of the examples I gave were down to VAR, one where we failed to...

Having watched the latest home defeat to Leicester, it struck me that this season above all, has been the season of the most agonising defeats ever! Yes, we’ve lost more games in the past, but never with such gut wrenching, nauseating agony as this year. Here are five games, which have left me...

I remember seeing Paul Weller at The East Wing of The Brighton Centre circa 1994 after the Style Council days, really great and intimate gig with lots of interaction with the crowd. He’s definitely another one who seems to get better and better. I find the the longevity of some artists...

Do musicians get better with age? The late David Bowie (69) Blackstar, Bruce Springsteen (70) Western Stars, Bob Dylan (79) Rough and Rowdy Ways and the late Leonard Cohen (82) You want it darker. They were all getting on a bit when they made them, but IMHO four brilliant albums. If you’re into...

I also wondered why Dirty Leeds had all their cardboard fans in the lower tiers which are easily seen and ours are in the upper east where they are not, so I e-mailed P Barber (sad I know), he replied, "All Premier League clubs are required to comply with Premier League rules which do not permit...

I was there in 1983, to the left of the goal in the clock end. Favourite game, better than the final which was tainted by the result of the replay.

Palace Man Utd Celtic/Rangers (in equal measure)

48,000, that must have been lively. When we went, the crowd behind the goal were very loud and that was only 22,000! Makes the boys up the road look like choir boys. Also impressed with the trains, I'm sure it seemed like every minute!

Went to Dusseldorf in December to see my son, who’s working there and to generally to have a look round. We also went to Dusseldorf v Nurnberg, second versus third at the time in Bundesliga 2. Impressive stadium, 54,500 capacity with a roof, but only 22,000 on the night. Dusseldorf lost 0-2 and...

Blade Runner 2049.

I think, what I was trying to say (in my inarticulate way) was, maybe the cautious approach is best rather than going all Gung Ho! Anyway, looking forward to Saturday with decent opposition and fans, unlike the mob that turned up on Tuesday. Up the Albion!

When Chris Hughton became our manager, I remember Norwich fans being quick to tell us how bored we’d all be with his style of defensive football. Well as far I’m concerned last season was far from boring and as we all know, ended quite well with promotion to the Premier league! This season seems...

My son's not a massive BHAFC fan (he's a Gooner, I know shocking isn't it? I've tried to make him see sense, but he's not having it :down:). I think it was simply because Crofts and Ince were easier to create, likeness wise!

Christmas present from my son who works in a print & design studio in Clapham. Not bad, but don't mention Chris Hughton!

Just back from Dick Knight’s book signing in Worthing. Around fifty of us in the Fraser Bar of the Connaught with Dick & Paul Samrah at the head table and Des Lynam in the audience. Lasted for about an hour with Paul suggesting topics for Dick to chat about, ranging from when Liam Brady asked...

Gus Poyet’s ego was enormous He thought himself totally gorgeous It all ended in doom, Beaten by Bloom, Thank God for this handy thesaurus.
