    [Football] "We had no plane"

    .... they also stayed at the Queen's hotel which is just outside Leeds station. Where in London would they fly from? I know some London teams fly from Luton which is about 40 mins drive from central London. They would arrive at Leeds/Bradford airport which is still a small journey into Leeds

    [Albion] Will Brighton shirts ever be on sale anywhere other than in Sussex?

    Think it is important that you sell as many shirts as you can. The initial shirt sponsor deal is based on how many shirts you shift. The more you shift the better the deal. I know Leeds deal with Adidas is worth 10m per year (5 year deal) and they get an additional 7% from each sale. The big...

    [Albion] Ref watch

    It was a penalty 100% and Mctom's was borderline red. The fact that both challenges were brushed over quickly tells you everything you need to know about VAR. Said for ages now that the team who does VAR should have no relationship to the refs in the middle (i.e. use a foreign country's referees...

    [Albion] Premier League 30/11 - 2/12

    Leeds were the better team last night. Kevin Friend bought every dive that Palace tried. apart from Benteke's miss don't remember any other real chances for them. We missed a good chance after 10 mins and again in the 2nd half. The one thing though all our fans were in the stadium when the...

    [Football] Transfer Deadline Day

    Whenever there are international tournaments, unless you buy before, the price of strikers always goes up. Last season was the time to get a striker. Toney 9m, Watkins 29m. I am sure that Czech striker would have gone for 20m too. This season we have Abrahams 34m, Lukaku 97m and then...

    [Albion] Premier League 28-29/08/21

    That is why I wouldn't have gone there if I were White. Probably good for his bank balance but will affect his England opportunities in the future.

    [Albion] What was Attendance

    Really? Football is a passion and Leeds fans have been passionate as long as I have been going there (since '94) Ever since Bielsa turned up and that first Stoke game was on tv, the ground has been full. We had 40,000 members trying to buy the 10,000 non-season tickets for this match. The...

    [Albion] Premier League 21-23/08/21

    LLorente our best centre half by miles has missed both games and Phillips missed the Manu game as well. Come back when you have been to OT and played Everton, who look a decent side this year.

    [Albion] Trouble at the game today

    Most thugs are just bullies. Think it is time that more fans take responsibility and with cameras take pictures of these thugs and get them banned. Much nicer when you can walk to the ground and have a chat with an opposition fan rather than dodging punches. Unfortunately, there are still plenty...

    [Albion] Trouble at the game today

    Happened at a Friday night game at the Amex against Leeds the season you won promotion. Just as we got on a train at Brighton station for the Amex, a group of Brighton fans punched a young Leeds fan about 15 years old in the face. Other Leeds fans went to his aid but there was no more punches...

    [Albion] Premier League 13-15/08/21

    Like all promoted teams it depends on how many injuries they get and how they cope if they lose Toney or Pinnoch for a few weeks. I think the three that went down last year weren't very good so it might be Watford and Norwich will be the whipping boys this year.

    [Albion] Premier League 13-15/08/21

    We played Cooper alongside him. Our full backs were Ayling and Barry Douglas (who was injured lots). That's how Alioski ended up there with Stuart Dallas. I was always slightly concerned at White's lack of physicality but he did look as though he built himself up during his time at Brighton. The...

    [Albion] Premier League 13-15/08/21

    Seems even more odd they are after Ramsdale at 20m + after letting Martinez go for 15m. I still have my doubts as to whether Arteta is the right man for that job. Think Brentford will get about 35 -38 points which will possibly just be enough to stay up.

    No problem playing in a back four at Leeds. I think he needs a physical defender to play with which Arsenal don't have.

    [Albion] Relegation Battle 2021/2022

    in the 3 years Bielsa has been there we have won hardly any pre-season friendlies. Lost 4-0 to Manu last season in Australia and I think we lost to Stoke as well. Ajax were good but we assisted in 3 of their goals. No Llorente, or Firpo or Phillips and as you guys know we don't often perform...

    [Help] Petition to end laboratory testing on animals.

    Signed. One of the big differences with animal testing is that what works on them will not necessarily work on humans so has no benefit to us. The other disturbing evidence is so many experiments on animals are experiments that have been done in the past that the researchers already know what...

    [Football] Police call for cocaine users to be banned from football after Euros mayhem

    Been to quite a few games overseas and what is very different to here is that foreign police use drug detection dogs near turnstiles. I haven't seen too much cocaine use by fans myself but have been next to fans who want to fight but weren't drunk, with glazed eyes. With these types it is always...

    [Football] Relegation Odds 21/22 Season

    We had better results against the so-called top 6 the second time around. We also have a new pitch for next season, something that will greatly enhance our quick football that hindered us pre-Christmas and then we had the borrowed slippy pitch from Spurs that didn't settle down until March. I...

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    How many times did you actually see him play at Leeds - and live is better than TV? Bielsa encouraged him to start the attacking move, something I rarely saw him do for Brighton as he never really played in the middle of defence. Leeds realised his potential and Brighton have cashed in on it.
