    Police Box Gang

    Blimey, what a load of old reactionaries. Imagine the debate raging at the Goldstone in the late 70's as the old boys moan like bug*ery about some spotty, long haired teens making up new words to that mock-scottish gits latest dirge - Sailing. What's wrong with just shouting up the Albion, or...

    Latest tv

    I've tried to watch the channel. Love the idea and the concept and am full of admiration for those who are trying to make it happen. But. Much of it is unwatchable. The Albion coverage has so much potential and live from the Amex etc are great ideas and give AITC some brilliant and deserved...

    Now he's settled in is Hughton doing that much better than Hyypia?

    Like it or lump it, they are the facts. Didn't say they are the best. CMS, Stockdale, Baldock - they are three of our 4 (maybe 5) most expensive ever signings. According to Tony Bloom the squad as a whole is the most lavishly paid.

    Now he's settled in is Hughton doing that much better than Hyypia?

    Hughton is arguably the most experienced manager we have ever had - a number of promotions under his belt, campaigns in the Premiership and rather unlucky to lose a few of his jobs. Throw in the most expensively assembled and handsomely rewarded squad and you'd hope we'd do rather better than...

    If you could remove ONE show from TV, what would it be?

    Robson Green's Extreme Fisting, or whatever it's called.

    Salted Peanuts, ££££ or pence?

    Being an Albion loyalist, I only ever nibble Nobby's Nuts.

    [Football] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal ***** Pre-match Thread ****

    from the pre-match brief..."Dick's Bar will be open from 11.30am, but please note that the Seven Seven Stars Sports Bar is not open pre-match." Have the club flogged this for corporate for this match? Wasn't going to go on Sunday, but do sometimes use, so seems strange that it's closed for...

    [Albion] Who's bought tickets tickets to sell to Arsenal fans????

    That was the League Cup game in 1979; bloody hundreds of them in there. Always hated Arsenal since that night - and the 4-0 on 1st day of the season.

    Seagulls Travel Coaches for Ipswich (from Worthing)

    Yep, gave them a call and two seats booked for the Broadwater pick up - guess they take down the web option to avoid overselling.

    never known them to be completely sold out; would be straenge if they had for this one.

    Seagulls Travel Coaches for Ipswich (from Worthing)

    Was going to use the Seagulls Travel service for Wednesday, taking the lad and it's a hassle free way to get back in good time for mid-week games. Went to book as per usual and there are no Worthing pick up points showing? Has anyone booked or know why this would be (have e-mailed them as well)...

    Shorehamstock [Worthing Weekender]

    And a brilliant new brewery - Naked Beer. When I grew up there we had glue sniffing and the Merry Monk.

    Sarah Watts - a real Albion hero RIP

    You chopped Greenos head off - bottom left. Boring Neil at the back, haven't seen him for years. Sarah was just always there. Always will be.

    Jossys Giants

    Jossy's G's was great, but for a more gritty experience you couldn't beat Murphy's Mob - especially it's theme tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH4Bng66dzU written and performed by Gary Holton. Kids TV used to have tremendous theme tunes; remember Bad Manners did the tune for Educating...

    Swearing!!

    It's a rite of passage for anyone who goes to football. That moment when you turn to the grown up with you and ask "what's a w**ke*?" My own moment came at Wembley in 1978 when 90,000 were loudly chorussing "we all agree Ali McLeod is a w**k*r.." There was no mistaking the word, as an 8 year old...

    Comments in todays papers about the transfer budget

    Was at both games; first leg we were a bit unlucky - second leg the wheels well and truly came off. But, we took points from Leicester & Burnely and without so many draws who knows? Derby were and still are the best team in the league.

    North and South West ST holders meeting 18th December

    How things have changed, it was just a bog roll and torn up Argus in my day. I'm all for bringing back the bog roll, best feeling in the world launching one from the North Stand and seeing it flutter into the goalmouth. Always envied those who kept one back for when we scored - couldn't do that...

    So Stephen Ward was ours for the asking all summer...........

    A healthy debate; but the actual article is pretty pi*s poor and typical of the Ar*egas. No club comment - which is standard - but also no proper journalistic insight, context or perspective. Strange to let an agent just sound off and make sweeping statements, without any challenge. No wonder...
