    [Albion] Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Spoke to a Saints fan on the train going to the game, he said Dibling is a great prospect, however also said he is very lazy. It must be hard for a young lad playing in a team with little to no confidence. You could see yesterday after the third went in they almost just gave up. We could /...

    [Albion] Southampton pubs

    Previously I've found some city centre pubs are home fans only. Personally I normally get a cab to The Junction at St Denys and then it's a 10 minute walk along the waterfront to the ground. I'm a bit older and it's quite quiet but a good pub

    [Misc] Retirement

    Nice idea, however the business is up for sale. We do have a potential buyer who is aware of my requirements to reduce my working hours. I'm hoping to find out this week. My current boss is a lovely bloke but very driven by his own greed. I'm fairly confident that it will work out. I'm also...

    [Misc] Retirement

    I know you are right, somehow I just need to get the right work, play balance. I work for a small local company and the boss has struggled to find the right staff and has become very reliant on me. I know for my sanity I need to drop my working hours. Money has never been my king so I should be OK.

    [Misc] Retirement

    While I enjoy reading this thread I do with a small degree of envy. I'm early sixties always worked private sector and never really had a company generous enough to put a good percentage towards a pension fund. Probably got a fund of about £200k which if I divide by the years I might have left...

    [Albion] FA Cup 5th Round draw - Newcastle away

    Only missed one away game this season. Sunday early afternoon kick off simply doesn't work for me. Trains aren't great, would basically mean the whole day travelling with the exception of ninety minutes of football. I'm sure I'll regret it but I'm giving it a miss.

    [Albion] "This is somewhat of a transition season..."

    So if we're mid table this time next season we can legitimately moan, whinge, wet the bed and call for the managers head. I've already noted the date in the 2026 diary.

    [Albion] Fab out?

    I'm on the fence. Young manager deserves to be given a decent chance. My biggest concern is the progression of the young player's under a young manager. The club's policy is to buy young, improve and sell for a profit. Would the younger player's learn more from a more experienced manager and...

    [Albion] Refunds

    No to a refund, it happens! However I would like to know why we set up as we did, I'd like to know the truth about omitted player's. Just a bit more clarity from the club would be nice. We all put time and money into following the club and really have no idea what is happening.

    [Football] Does one disaster matter that much?

    You have to take the rough with the smooth, however yesterday was rough. I didn't get the team selection or the formation. Basically it does matter, ninety minutes of my life lost watching that!

    [Albion] Would you accept £90m for Mitoma *NOW*?

    While you can't argue with stats, progressive runs don't always lead to creating chances. I often wish he would try to cross with his left foot rather than the outside of his right. I'm not disputing his ability, however £90 million is an amazing offer.

    [Albion] Would you accept £90m for Mitoma *NOW*?

    £90 million is well over his real valuation, so yes. My real concern is at what point do we keep our better players and build a squad for the future. Is selling our player's up to the club or the player and his agent.

    [Albion] Are you going to the Chelsea Cup game?

    As much as it's a pain, it's the FA Cup at home to Chelsea, of course I'm going.

    [Albion] Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    On train on the way back. Thought we were excellent, a great all round performance, no weak link in team. Only downer is the buffet car is closed.
