    [Albion] Note to Self: Do not look at Wikipedia

    How depressing is this graphic? Last time we won back to back league games was September 2023. Said it before, but any other manager would be in serious trouble with this track record.

    [Albion] How exactly did we blow the Championship title in 2016/17?

    It still rankles. Three games left, one win needed. Then calamity x 3. Hughton should have been sacked there and then.

    [Football] Metric Measurements On The Continent

    Doubtless there will be loads of well-informed people on here to set the record straight but was watching the European football this week and wondered what players/teams from France, Germany, Spain, etc call things like the 18-yard box? Is it the 16.4592 metre area? And do they take penalties...

    [Football] New jobs in football matches

    So, a few years back we had someone in the team designated to be the 'draught excluder' to lie down behind the wall at opposition free-kicks but now we seem to have a 'ball protector' whose job it is to retain the ball before a penalty kick before handing it over to the taker. So what's next?

    [Albion] Exactly how long has this season been petering out for?

    Not saying the players are on the beach already but...

    [Food] MIDDLE CLASS THREAD ALERT! EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL! WTF???

    Just been to Aldi. One litre bottle of extra virgin olive oil that used to be £1.99 not so long ago, now... £5.99!!! What are the best (and cheaper) alternatives?

    [Misc] How many poos do you do each day?

    Given that we can talk about these things openly these days, I thought I'd start a poll. Me? I do four or five. I did the Bowel Cancer test thing I got through the post recently and that was all clear, so I suspect I'm OK.

    [Albion] If RDZ plays Steele tomorrow...

    ... I won't be responsible for my actions.

    Another great songwriter gone too soon. RIP.

    [Albion] Team for Roma next week?

    I'm usually a glass 5/8ths full kind of person but this has dipped to around 5/16ths in light of injuries. So please cheer me up with an XI to give me a reason to smile/live for next Thursday's big one. Thanks.

    [Albion] 'We've got Super Rob de Zerbi...'

    Just wondered what happens to this chant if or when we get knocked out of the Europa League? Does it just float off to the big chant graveyard in the sky? Or can it be amended/remixed?

    [Albion] RDZ and Another Touchline Ban?

    Am I right in thinking he's back in the stands again after his yellow on Saturday? Jeez...

    [Football] What shape and style is the transfer window?

    And why do they always slam it shut?

    [Football] What is the point of the coin toss before kick-off?

    Well, just that really. Why should choosing an end to attack be a thing? Or kicking the ball back from the centre spot? Let's get rid. It will also make my son's job easier when he refs on a Sunday and stop him tipping the jar of coppers out all over the kitchen table and having to settle...

    [Albion] Food waste at the Amex

    My daughter works on matchdays in the kiosks and last night from their one kiosk alone (I won't say which stand) they threw away nearly 100 pies and sausage rolls because they're cooked and can't be given to food banks, etc. Multiply that across all of the kiosks in the Amex and that's a lot of...

    [Help] Accident – advice needed please

    So, I was driving back into Brighton after walking my dogs on Ditchling Beacon this morning. Wasn't going much more than 40mph. A black labrador ran out of the woods straight in front of me and I hit it. The cars behind me saw it happen and can back me up. The owner of the poor dog appeared soon...

    [Football] The Minute's Silence...

    Barely a game passes these days without a minute's silence before kick-off. I think my favourite one was soon after Princess Diana's death at an England game when then manager Glenn Hoddle said it was "the best minute's silence I've ever heard." It does make me think that the kit...

    [Albion] Lewis Dunk: Why A Bus Won't Do...

    It's high time that our talismanic skipper was honoured in Brighton and Hove and I don't mean with a bus named after him like Leo Sayer or Alan Weeks. He needs a landmark or attraction named after him. I suggest the currently unsponsored i360; a towering presence that dominates our city...

    [Albion] WHEN IS AN ASSIST NOT AN ASSIST?

    So, a few weeks ago Pervis Estupinan was awarded an assist for tapping the ball to Karou Mitoma miles out from goal and then watching as he beat the entire Wolves team to score a worldie. Now, Adam Lallana’s genius dummy to set up Danny Welbeck’s goal on Saturday might not have involved him...

    [Football] My Irrational Hatred of Beheady Howe

    Does anybody else have a completely irrational hatred of the super-glum Newcastle boss? I'm 53 and I've never really experienced this before. Will it go away? Please help.
