To the BBC website: "We made our bed and we have to lie in it. It's not good enough," said Welbeck. "There have been so many of these performances throughout the season. We need to play far more collectively. Fight for each other more. It was evident that we weren't doing that." When one of the...

Have we spoken about this? Surely one of the coolest goal celebrations in football.

Good to see Albion loanees Mark O'Mahony and Andrew Moran both on the scoresheet. It seems that team from Hampshire got a bit of a thrashing.

If you know, you know. But if you don't, there's info about the second and third most important Blooms* after Tony (Leopold and Molly), here: https://www.ireland.com/en-gb/things-to-do/events/bloomsday-festival/ *I am prepared to entertain the notion that Harry could be second.

Back in January, our under-21s beat Liverpool 4-2 at Lancing. Our team was Fisher: Offiah (Nilsson), Simmonds (Atom), McConville; Ifill (Smith), Knight, Chouchane, Slater; Howell (Albarus), Flower, Mullins. Scorers were Howell 2, Flower and Mullins. But here's the thing. The Liverpool team...

I see Alex Pritchard has now decided that Sunderland aren’t big enough for him and declined to make himself available for their 3-1 victory over Stoke. Call me small-minded and vindictive but I can’t help enjoying every mis-step in his long and frustrating career outside the top flight. But I...

Nothing new here, but I just wanted to remind myself as much as everyone else. Have a look at this team: Verbruggen; Lamptey, JP, Igor, Hinshelwood; Baleba, Gilmour; Buonanotte, Joao Pedro, Adingra; Ferguson. Quite a feasible RDZ starting line-up, wouldn't you agree? (In the unlikely event...

Verbruggen Veltman van Hecke Webster Igor Baleba Hinshelwood Buonanotte Lallana Barrington/Baker-Boaitey Ferguson Adingra, Fati, Pedro, Mitoma and Gross need a rest after Thursday, but would have to be on the bench. Probably too early to start Moder. Shame we can't play both...

With neither Solly, Billy G, Steele, Lallana, Milner, Welbz nor Dunky in the side, was the starting XI at Chelsea our first not to feature a player qualified to play for any of the home nations? Given that Tariq Lamptey was born in Hillingdon although he has opted to play for Ghana, he's not...

We're having another Albion-related sports panel at Exeter Street hall BN1 5PG on Wednesday Sept 13, 7.30pm start. Some of you wonderful people have attended in the past, and it will follow the same format - pre-submitted questions in the first half, then an open Q&A after a break. The...

A message to the fat bloke who sat across the aisle from the press box, bad-mouthing every Albion player from minute one. Your finest moment was telling two guys who were having a bit of a moment together just before half-time to 'facking sit down'. FYI they were Glenn Murray and Joao Pedro...

A brief snippet of vintage Albion action at 44.49 here of Albion beating Fulham in the 69-70 season. Johnny Haynes puts the Cottagers ahead before Alan Gilliver appears to punch the ball home from a typical Kit Napier inswinging corner in front of the North Stand. Kit himself nets the winner.

A few of you have been to sports panel discussions at Exeter Street Hall in the beating heart of Prestonville (near BHASVIC and the Chimney House pub), and we need to top up the funds post-COVID, so we're asking people to put their hands in their pockets once more. To celebrate the staging of...

I'm struggling with a clue in today's i general knowledge crossword. Perhaps NSC can help me out. The clue is "nickname of Portsmouth FC" but it claims that the answer has six letters. Some mistake, surely? #twats

Reporters are often asked if they were watching the same game as everyone else, but what was Steven Gerrard looking at on Saturday afternoon? "We caught Brighton where we knew we would catch them, which is in the transition down the side of the centre backs." Leaving aside what that even...

Sussex Live seems to be running an old story about Bundesliga clubs wanting Albion u18 defender Zac Sturge, who has refused a new contract offer. But the article keeps refusing to load, so the simplest thing would seem to be to ask NSC what’s going on. Anything new from the Sun story last month?

According to Football London, "Crystal Palace might be losing up to four first-team players next January as the African Cup of Nations kicks off in Cameroon. "The 24-team tournament, postponed from last year amid the coronavirus pandemic, is due to get underway on January 9 and run until...

Tyrone Mings's tweet in reply to Priti Patel: "You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens." He should never have been picked...

That yodelling pizza ad was filmed in Brighton, wasn’t it? In those flats going up the hill behind Grand Parade? So it’s a shame that it’s the most annoying TV ad for many, many years …
