Unnamed Albion player tested positive - I wonder who?

I'm in my 60's and feet and inches still comes to me more naturally than metres. This morning in the supermarket, I was trying to keep away from the elderly guy behind me in the checkout queue, but he kept closing the gap. Eventually, I jokily told him I was trying to keep my distance and he...

Today 18th March is the day for West Stand Lower Season Ticket moves. I had hoped to swap our 3 lovely seats in W1G Row Q to 3 almost equally lovely seats still in W1G, maybe 5 Rows further back. but just in the Purple Zone next to Yellow where me and Mrs Earle can get concessions rather than...

One from my gym playlist. Perfect for a brisk walk on the treadmill at 6.3 kph!

No apologies for another music thread on a matchday. One of my favourite bands. I give you The Dixie Chicks.They waited 13 years until they had something to say and this is worth the wait. Lyrically so powerful that Natalie Maines ex-husband allegedly tried to block the release on the grounds of...

Alzate at right back when we have a former Barcelona right back available. I am sick of Webster being a a first choice centre back. Worse than the Hawk! I am sick of us not playing the Dunk and Duffy duo. I am sick of Mooy being played out of position. I am sick of us relying on Connolly to...

It's that time of year again and being a little while till the next match, I reached for a ginger wine and pondered my favourite Christmas carol. Silent Night has always been a favourite since my chorister days at Patcham All Saints in the sixties. But since my father (an Albion fan of some 90...

Sorry to start a non footy thread on a match day, but young Earle Jr. Has a problem. Works long hours so has a cleaner (I know). Cleaner cleaned chrome tap and it has degraded and discoloured badly under the surface of the chrome which remains smooth. Cleaner not responding yet, so anyone else...

Well, at least in one stat from last season. I honestly don't know what to make of this stat that just popped up on SSN. With 38.1% Bissouma and Pogba were equal top last season for ......... walking:moo:

For no apparent reason, I fancied listening to a bit of Billy Joel tonight and selected the album 'River of Dreams. Always enjoyed the title track, but apart from that and '2000 Years', I'm a bit shocked to find I recognise none of the other tracks and just don't remember hearing them before...

Sorry to read of his death from a heart attack. Saw him at The Dome in the 70s in full on gris gris mode for a wonderful, unforgettable carnival of colour and music. RIP sir.

From potential Man Utd star to ignominious release in June on a free. Former Albion loanee looking to resurrect his career in Scotland. Seemed to be a bit of a sick note with us, lacking stamina and fitness. I recall he was criticised by a Utd insider as one of several younger players who didn't...

I know the North Stand think their opinions are all that matter because they do most of the chanting, and they have a right to an opinion, but they they don't speak for me with their half time booing. The last match and today's match against Newcastle, they tried to boo the players off and were...

Hmmm. He would like to see 9 points deducted from clubs for racist chanting. Not something I've ever heard in 55 years of following the Albion, but I would be pretty annoyed if Brighton had 9 points deducted because some random idiot at the Amex started some M-word chants and threw a B-word skin...

If ever there is a time for Chris to demonstrate the managerial skills for which he has been feted all season, this is it. Not quite, but almost a one match shoot-out. He needs to show his mettle and find a formation and personnel to win one match. Warnock will have Chris sussed unless Chris...

I caught a few minutes of a programme on racism and several lads referred to the P-word. It took me a moment to think what they were talking about before I realised. Obviously the N-word was taken a while ago and the C-word or C-bomb, which got me wondering how many other words cannot be said...

Anyone else going to see her at The Dome tomorrow night?

Been watching for the last 10 minutes. I know we can't rely much on either teams, but hopefully by pointing out that Wolves are crap, just when we need them to score a goal or two, maybe they will prove me wrong in the last 10 minutes.

Davey was outstanding today - why no thread of praise? Here's a place for everyone to put on record, without any caveats like he missed a virtually open goal, what a bloody marvellous match he had today.

Ref David McNamara left his coin in the dressing room before last weeks WSL Match between Man City and Reading. Under time pressures to get the match under way for TV, he used Rock Paper Scissors to decide kick off and ends rather than try and get back to the dressing room in time ro retrieve...
