    [News] We want our Marbles back, we want our Marbles back...

    They'll be singing it on the terraces of Athens... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67549044 Personally I'd let them have them back. One of life's disappointments was discovering these were not marbles as the man on the street would imagine them. Boring.

    [TV] The Crown

    First episode of Season 6 is released today. Mixed reviews but I still think it will be compelling viewing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67415437

    [Albion] If it is top 5 for Champions League, then will it be top 8 for Europe?

    So seems quite likely England will be one of two countries to get an extra team in the Champions League. Man City winning it again would probably ensure that I think. Does that then still mean two in Europa, and one in the Conference, meaning top 8 in Europe next season?

    [Albion] Have we taken a long goal kick yet?

    I remember a few games ago we hadn’t done a single one. Is that still the case?

    [Albion] CLUSTER goals conceded

    Forgive me I don't have the stats and frankly on a Saturday night I can't be bothered to find them but it feels like for the first time in my Albion supporting times we are suffering from CLUSTER goals being conceded. Over the years we have been rubbish and conceded a lot of goals but have we...

    [Albion] The Marseille Mozzie bite thread

    Returned yesterday and realised today I have 5 pretty big bites. I don’t normally get them so assumed I wasn’t tasty but the Marseille ones took a liking to me. They must take a while to come through. Can anyone beat 5?

    [Football] Pompey

    Top of league one, unbeaten all season and now 23 games unbeaten stretching into last season. Are that lot finally getting their act together again? The circle of football never better demonstrated than in ourselves, them, saints and Bournemouth!

    [Albion] Could Igor play the holding midfielder role?

    Thought he looked great on the ball but wasn't sure he was that great defensively? Early days and I don't like to judge quickly but could he slot into the holding midfielder role which we looked like we missed so badly?

    [Albion] The yellow card given to the Greek chap for just standing next to the ref whilst he had his yellow out?

    I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere but I feel it deserves it's own thread. I think it was second half, he booked one of ours for a foul, and then it seemed just because he had it in his hand he booked one of theirs. Must have said something, but it certainly looked comical. Doubt he would...

    [Albion] Rotating goalkeepers - good thing/bad thing

    I'll be up front, in principle I hate it. I've always understood that defenders get used to the way certain goalkeepers come for the ball or not etc. That's why when you chop and change a lot you let in odd goals. But I trust in De Zerbi so I am conflicted. Personally all the time Steele was...

    [Albion] 2/1 to beat Man Utd

    That seems rather generous given our record against them. They are 21/20 favourites with the draw at 14/5. Skybet, you may find better. Fill your boots.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/66704785 Chelsea defender Levi Colwill, who spent last season on loan at Brighton, hopes he will be given the chance to play alongside former Seagulls team-mate Lewis Dunk. On being defensive partners last year and now on international duty together...

    [Albion] Moving the away end

    I know I know, we have been here a million times before and I suspect every new manager asks for it to be moved and gets the same answer, but surely there is a way to do it. With the European games coming up and the likely vociferous away support that those teams will bring, but on a reduced...

    [Albion] Teams that switch ends at kick off

    I don’t like it. It feels wrong. But how often does it work? Often seems to give us a bit of a first half boost.

    [Football] The match food thread for today

    I’ll start. In East Stand Upper all the burgers, hot dogs, sausage rolls and virtually all the pies were sold out at half time. And I mean the start of half time. How can that happen? Did not expect a crowd?

    [Albion] Number of Premier League games since a goalless draw

    28 premier league games now without a goal less draw. A total blank. Zero-zero. Last happened Forest at home back in October. Entertainment.

    [Misc] Cordless electric mowers

    Help. I bought a Greenworks one middle of last summer and was delighted with it last year, no problems. This year however, probably due to the rain it has really struggled to cope with the extra length to cut. It basically cuts out ALL the time, well after about a minute of running, and this...
