Albion have named 24 players in their PL squad - but that includes goalkeepers Tom McGill and Carl Rushworth who are out on loan. Cam Peupion and Ed turns also pad the number. Squad list here

This was mentioned by former Albion player Maheta Molango on a recent interview on the Price of Football podcast (co-hosted, of course, by our resident dullard). [For those unaware, Molango is now the Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers' Association]. The course has begun and our...

Joe Knight back on the bench:-

Did Fabian have a pre-Crawley press conference today? I haven't seen any reporting to suggest he did. Do they not happen for Carabao Cup ties? Or is it because today was a Bank Holiday in the UK?

For those NSCers based in the US, just a heads up that the Albion v Crawley Town tie is one of five being streamed live on Paramount + on Tuesday.

Has anyone seen the attendance figure from last Saturday reported? The Albion report mentions there were 2,942 in the away end but I'm struggling to find the total attendance figure.

Last season it was clearly stated by the Premier League that only the top 12 teams in (now only one division) Premier League 2 would qualify for the 2024-25 Premier League International Cup. Albion finished 13th and looked to have just missed out. It was a bit surprising therefore to see Albion...

It's good to know there are now TWO decent twitter accounts covering the Albion academy. Happy to have held the fort for the last NINE years :thumbsup:

The Albion U-16 squad, fresh from their victorious SuperCup exploits in Northern Ireland last month, are competing in The Next Generation Trophy in Salzburg. The competition consists of four groups of three teams each - Albion have been drawn with the RB Salzburg Academy and TSG Hoffenheim...

As per the PL announcement:-

Albion U-16 Cristiano Anah (a left-back), who made his international debut in April for the Italian U-16 side, had been called up to the Italy U-17 squad for a friendly tournament later this month called the Telki Cup. Cristiano (back row, left) was an ever-present for the triumphant Albion...

Visitors to Yellowstone National Park got a little bit more than they bargained for this afternoon. The National Park Service described it as a "localized hydrothermal explosion":-

This video was filmed at the final of Copa America on Sunday evening. I don't know the full details, but apparently ticketless fans were forcing their way into the stadium (given what has gone before in England and at a recent Champions League final, I would stress that is what has been reported...

Well, I was hoping to be able to post that centre-back Ruairi McConville would be captaining the Northern Ireland squad in the 2024 UEFA U-19 European Championship Finals which begin in Northern Ireland on Monday. Unfortunately, it turns out that he has "..a hamstring problem" and will therefore...

There I was yesterday evening, casually watching the broadcast of the Arizona D'backs game (they were completing a four-game series against the Atlanta Braves), when I suddenly noticed this:- So....was it a fellow NSCer who went to see the Snakes last night?

There has been no announcement as yet by the club, and I have no idea if there ever will be, but I believe that 14 first-year scholars have been taken on by the Seagulls for the 2024-25 season. All 14 have been promoted from last season’s U-16 group (meaning that only four of that 18-strong...

The 48th edition of Copa América takes place this summer in the United States of America. The tournament is the South American version of UEFA's Euros, but since the 1990's teams from North America and Asia have also been invited to compete. Along with the usual 10 South American (CONMEBOL)...

Albion have 20 players on international duty this month, mainly friendlies although there are World Cup qualifiers being played in the CAF (Africa) region, before a number of international tournaments begin later this summer. As far as those international tournaments are concerned:- # UEFA...

As there is currently little else to discuss on here right now, it must be time to create the thread that pulls together all the info we know about this summer's pre-season friendly action. So, this is what we know for definite:- 1st Team: ? U-23s: ? U-18s: ? (I'm sure you'll agree...
