    I think he's quite like De Zerbi in that his style has very little middle ground. It succeeds dramatically or it fails dramatically. However, I'd admit that this season in the EPL he's reminded me far more of Sami Hyypia than RDZ. His Brighton team always looked like it could play decent...

    Nobody is arguing that they haven't been awful at getting results. They have, particularly in the league this season. I'm just saying that there are metrics that suggest that they are not completely on the wrong path. His record in the league this season is definitely sackable. I don't think...

    Average of approx 1.43 ppg: Extrapolated over 38 games would have seen them on 54 points and ninth instead of fourth. Not brilliant, but not terrible either.

    I can't join in the condemnation of his abilities. It all looks a bit mid era Graham Potter to me only with a European trophy and Potter's methods eventually came good for us. They are about 12 points below where their Xp suggests they should have been. They were second to us on days lost...

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    We would have loved to, but you might have noticed that we didn't get the luck of regularly having our best side available. We had different luck, like starting Matt O'Riley in the EFL v Crawley and having him assaulted after a couple of minutes and out for three months. We had to try to build...

    [Albion] Olivier Boscagli

    He might be thinking: 'Early days. I remember paying Wigan £3m for a centre half who was older than Cashin, and who after a loan back and recovering from injury, joined us in January 2019 and didn't make his debut until August. That turned out alright in the end what with him playing 85 games...

    [Film] What is the worst film you have ever seen all the way through?

    Coincidentally, recently uncovered evidence shows how Pele's character got the job drawing the VAR lines for our 2023 match away at Palace:

    [Film] What is the worst film you have ever seen all the way through?

    :ROFLMAO: Just looked it up and was right to guess that it would be the same reference as Gump's. Schlesinger's film is funny, extraordinarily human and heartbreakingly sad, yet these hacks love to boil it down to a catch phrase.

    [Film] What is the worst film you have ever seen all the way through?

    Went to see Forrest Gump on a first date and when we walked out and she told me that she hated it too, I married her. (not there and then). If I'd been on my own, I wouldn't have made it to the end, because I'd have been off when they did the cheap 'Midnight Cowboy' reference. (We've all seen...

    Amen Brother! Ferrell seems like a nice bloke in real life, but dressed in tights, nearly forty, acting like a toddler he just creeps me out. Then he pulls Zooey Deschanel.

    [Film] What is the worst film you have ever seen all the way through?

    Another one that's not the worst I've ever sat through, but feels like it is 'Love Actually'. I liked 'Four Weddings...', I quite liked 'The Tall Guy'. 'Notting Hill' seemed like '4 Weddings...' run through the law of diminishing returns. I had little interest after that, but had to sit...

    [Film] What is the worst film you have ever seen all the way through?

    To explain to those who have reacted to this, I'd have to admit that FB'sDO is not actually the worst film I've ever seen, it's just the one that immediately came to mind as enraging me. Hated him. Hated the message I took from the film. Would have liked his Principal to catch him and punish...

    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    To be fair, he already has and said that he was happy to be wrong. By the way, another little nugget of info: From a perusal of All time EPL goal scorers under the age of 21, I think I'm right in saying that Jack's three goals from right back equals the all time record holder for a player in...

    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    Yes, Hinshelwood is the only one on that list to have scored any of his goals from a defensive position. Jack got three of his eight playing at right back, one from centre midfield, two from right midfield and two from his one game up front on Sunday. He's never scored from left back in six...

    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    I get the impression that Pedro has one foot out of the door. With Gruda and Buonanotte both being so young, managing game time will still be a big part of their development. In a world where managers can make so many subs, there should be enough playing time for both as well as O'Riley...
