    [Albion] PBOBE to join Roberto De Zerbi for his post-Man Utd press conference

    Nothing weird about this. RDZ will say his farewells and PB will be there to deal with inevitable questions about what’s happening next, which RDZ is not in a position to answer. Do people really believe RDZ has just reached an amicable settlement with the club only to slag off the owners to...

    [Football] Football rumour - Erik ten Hag will be sacked at end of season

    The impression you get is that Ten Hag has a really poor relationship with his players. I'm just basing that on the results his team achieves., the body language of everyone on the pitch, in the dugout and technical area, and the interviews you see before and after games. No doubt MUFC will roll...

    [Football] Worthing fc

    No offence to Southend ... but I imagine Pearce might have better offers. I think ambitious players would be wary of joining a club that still seems to be in turmoil, if I understood the article I read last week in one of the nationals.

    [Albion] "Brighton will target Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna"

    Corrected for you ... as they say

    [Politics] Are you voting today?

    I’ve voted in every possible election since I was 18. But not PCC. I’m simply not qualified to judge the candidates and I don’t think it’s right to choose them based on party loyalties.

    [Albion] Would you be happy to be in the Championship again

    I was happy with it when we were there but going back now seems like no fun at all. Though most of us would stick around if it ever happens. For those who may occasionally get disllusioned with the PL, Sussex has some decent non-league options for those who want to escape VAR for an afternoon...

    [Misc] No mow May

    No Maupay? Don't tell me he's now injured as well?

    [Albion] Thomas Frank

    For me it’s that deranged gum chewing with his mouth wide open. I preferred Barry Lloyd with his cigs.

    [Albion] Thrown out for taking a beer to seat

    I was in that stand and from what I could see, the guy didn't argue or make a fuss and left the stand with his son in a very orderly way. There was a beer bottle in the popcorn bucket he was carrying.

    [Politics] Easter Wishes

    I prefer Easter to Christmas in many ways. Four days off at a time of the year when nature is coming back to life and there's a sense of positivity and anticipation in the air. I can see why pagan communities felt like celebrating this period and why the Christian church decided it would be a...

    Losing Weight

    For what it's worth, I've got down to a healthy BMI like this. 1. Exercise each morning – no breakfast, just an Athletic Greens shake 2. Don't eat till 12 noon – then it'll usually be a big bowl of healthy muesli that's packed with nuts and seeds etc but no added sugar, and maybe a pear, maybe...

    [Albion] Gut feeling - RDZ staying or going after this season?

    Agree with a lot of this. I'd love RDZ to stay but also think his managerial genius is occasionally exaggerated. He's still learning and I'd like to see him be a bit more adaptable and sometimes pragmatic in his tactics. Roma and Luton both blew us away and a different tactical approach may have...

    [Albion] The lost generation

    I wasn’t in my normal seat last night and we found ourselves in and around a group of lads who I would guess were all late teens and early twenties. They were loud and a bit pissed and silly and sweary and we had to stand up a lot of the time to see the action because they were up and down so...

    [Albion] Leonardo Trossard

    Still grates a little bit to see him in those colours but I find myself enjoying his performances and wishing him well. In a way that I can also muster for Mac Allister and Burn but not for Caicedo, Sanchez or Cucurella.
