What’s good on YOUTUBE? (1)

Right, this is an attempt to have a regular feature on good Albion stuff on youtube.
Hopefully, we’ll dig out a few videos that might be of interest to you.
We’ll start with highlights of the bloody brilliant win at Saints the other week, which at the time of writing haven’t been removed for copyright reasons!:

Next, we’ve [...]

Lack of Confidence Makes Smith Look a Mug

Oh dear Graeme Smith. The poor sod hasn’t exactly made the best of starts to his career at the Albion, conceding 24 goals in 632 minutes, or 8 appearances. While he’s not being helped by the shambles of a defence infront of him, there is obviously a deeper problem.
A bold statement it may be, but [...]

Glenn Murray, Superstar?

Funny what a difference a couple of weeks makes.
Not long ago we were slating Glenn Murray for seemingly not wanting to be here, for being constantly injured and not clapping the away support at Brentford.
Now, this morning the argus are saying he’s one of the best strikers in the league again, and new manager Gus [...]

Can Gus repay Bloom’s gamble?

Gambling is a way of life for Brighton and Hove Albion chairman Tony Bloom. The multi-millionaire amassed his fortune as a professional gambler and poker player, gaining the nickname ‘The Lizard’ in the process for his alligator-blood approach to the game.
It is therefore hardly a surprise that Bloom has taken this attitude into the world [...]

It’s Gus Poyet!

…probably.
Well, according to Andy Naylor at the Argus it is anyway.
He says:
“The Argus understands the former Tottenham No. 2 will be in place for Sunday’s south coast derby at Southampton, when the Uruguyan celebrates his 42nd birthday.
Poyet impressed chairman Tony Bloom when he was interviewed yesterday. ”
That’ll do for me. A big name - [...]

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Please!!

Now,  I write this blog as I’m not going to Wycombe this afternoon, and I’ve had to choose between stories to focus on.
I could have focused on the fact that Liam Dickinson has been dropped for todays game, as that photo in the Sun the other day of someone who looked like him out on [...]

Coppell says NO

…bugger.
Personally, the fact that he’s said no means I’m now a little pissed off that Slade has been sacked. I naively assumed Slade getting the chop meant his replacement was almost a certainty. But evidently not.
If Coppell says no, I can only assume Curbishley will do the same. And that leaves that far from inspiring [...]

Crystal Palace Fans Love the Moan-In!

I was looking at the webstats for wearebrighton.com on Monday and spotted that a rather large number of visitors had come via a Crystal Palace Message Board.
They had a thread about Russell Slade being sacked,  within the posts, someone mentioned the Albion Moan-In, this led to others also talking about the show. Here are the [...]

Liam Dickinson - A Knight In Shining Armour?

The Sun website is carrying a story today reporting on the Brighton leg of the Carnage UK Tour.  Basically, it’s an event where Students buy the offical T-Shirt for £8, and by wearing this garment, they are granted free access to a number of bars and clubs in the city. The aim is to get [...]

Albion Moan-In Podcast ep7

Following the news on Sunday afternoon about the sacking of Russell Slade, we hastily arranged to do an Albion Moan-In podcast that very same evening.
The show of course wrote itself, everyone seems to have an opinion when a manager has been sacked. For this show we asked Ian Hart to join us during the broadcast. [...]
