Writing on the Hughton thread just now made me wonder if we have a split in the squad that Harry will need to sort out pronto. For me, we have a squad split roughly in to Brighton players and players who'd be anywhere if they were in the Prem. It's not based on signing times or managers. For me...
Couldn't see a thread on this though it may have been posted in transfer threads. Think it needs one of its own.
The BBC Sport Statistician Chris Collinson has picked out six PL squads that need "major surgery" (in the headline), though the body of the article is a bit less drastic. He does say...
With VAR coming in to the Premier League next season is there a chance that teams who rely on blocking to defend will concede more penalties as these blocks are analysed and touches off the arm could be given, as happened to PSG v Man U?
Conversely, will a team taking more shots or dribbles in...
Opinion piece on why I think Hughton went (with the benefit of hindsight re Potter) and what it is that the new man represents.

Again, just my opinion to stimulate discussion.
Driving back from a day out today and Elvis v JXL's "A Little Less Conversation" comes on the radio. This leads me to telling the boy about the mad Nike "first goal wins" film with Cantona in and then showing him the fulll 3 minute version on youtube when we got home.
I was fully expecting it...
Over on another thread

it was decided to replace the "Were Loose" at the bottom of NSC's logo with another common NSCism.
Since Bozza is too lazy to run his own poll on the replacement I have foolishly...
Following on from Muzza's comments about finishing 17th in the other thread, what do you think the realistic target for our next season under whoever it is should be? Poll to follow.
I started writing a post on Saturday that ended up article length so Bozza has kindly allowed me to publish it in the "read the Albion" section. What went right this season? What went wring? And what needs to happen in the summer to fix it? Over to you...
Probably just me, and then because I'm home alone for a night, but is anyone else justifying their eye-watering digital TV package by watching this lowliest of EFL playoffs?
So far we've seen Mike Dean watching from the stands, a sending off after 15 minutes for a kick in the bollocks and, just...
With our rivals and a desparately out of form United managed by their former boss to play there is the slightest sliver of light still there for our sheep worrying friends. But I'm really struggling with the idea that they will win both those games and I think we are all but safe. How about you?
Celebrating the goal was absolutely mental in the stands but given its importance, the time since a last one and the scenes in the stand I would have expected the full on 11 man pile with Ryan running the length of the pitch. Instead no one else except Murray and Gross joined in from what I...
Following on from the squad strength discussion have we become one of those sides that have over prioritised the off field stuff versus the on field?
Let's face it, we have one of the best grounds in one of the best leagues in the world. Compared to the view-free death traps that are Goodison...
