    [Albion] Dunk v Mitrović - the big battle

    This is the big battle for me. If Dunk wins we win, if he loses we may not. Back in 2019 we saw the rare sight of Dunk being bullied by a forward, Mitrovic, as they came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2. Mitrovic scored two and was a total nuisance in that second half. He definitely had his...

    [Albion] The five substitutions rule

    The rules of this had passed me by a bit so thought I'd highlight. Less opportunity for time wasting than I feared. Now five substitutions will be allowed from a bench of nine players. Teams have three opportunities to use their five subs - plus the option to make them at half-time - after...

    [Albion] Record transfer fee received and paid

    Has anyone got a complete list of each time we have broken the transfer fee paid out and also received with rough dates, player and fee? Can't find any source on this but it used to be something fairly accessible?

    [Albion] No parking for Leicester and Palace games

    [Football] Unpopular opinion (?) - the winter break might not be such a bad thing after all?

    Like most people I suspect I wasn’t happy when the World Cup was moved to December. However having now seen the Albion fixtures come out and the way the break is built in to the football season I think I might quite like it. Chance to have a break from the Albion before Christmas, allowing a...

    [Albion] To Avoid De Zerbi Bashing - The Staying Up/Europe Tracker - season 2022-23 FINAL Update - 22 OVER

    So here we go again for the SIXTH season. Quick reminder for those who didn't follow this tracker in the last few seasons. The assumption is we need 40 points to stay up (we can argue that, and yes for many seasons now the level has been lower but it has happened in the past, it nearly...

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    Thinking about getting one, partly to do the right thing but also partly as I can't see any end to the fuel price inflation. Who already has one? Who is thinking about getting one? What are the pros and cons of those that have one? Range and availability of power plugs seems to be the big...

    Well, what should I go out and buy immediately?

    [News] Petrol and diesel £2 per litre by the end of the year?

    Couldn’t believe it is already well into the £1.50s. How far will it go? Only seems like yesterday when we went past £1.

    [Albion] It’s a nailed on draw isn’t it?

    Impossible to see another result. Two teams that won’t want to lose. Two teams that struggle to win. It’s a draw. Nailed on. Get on it. Decent odds.

    [Albion] Duffy v Sanchez

    In a theoretical fight who wins? The street fighter all swinging Irish approach of Duffy or the perhaps more mobile speedier younger Spaniard? You decide.

    [Albion] How to fix Sussex Uni parking?

    Since the Boxing Day game there have been significantly large queues forming to get in to the Sussex Uni car parks. The knock on effect leads to lengthy queue along the A27 and all the way up Coldean Lane. I thought the club would have fixed this by now but if anything it is getting worse. The...

    [Football] Scoring direct from a free kick

    Is it just me or is this virtually dead. It wasn’t that long ago that they seemed to be flying in all the time in football. But now it so rarely happens. I thought it was just us, but other teams also have terrible direct free kicks. Even Ronaldo doesn’t do it anymore. Is it the ball? Is it...

    [Albion] If you want to move seats for next season...

    Probably covered somewhere else, but the renewal date is earlier than the date you can move seats, so presumably you have to renew first before they will consider a seat move?

    [Albion] Most Premier League draws in a season

    We must have a chance of taking one of these records, at least for 38 matches. Most PL draws in a season (currently we have 11) 18 - Manchester City (1993/94 - 42 matches) 18 - Sheffield United (1993/94 - 42 matches) 18 - Southampton (1994/95 - 42 matches) 17 - Newcastle United (2003/04 - 38...
