Pete, Russ and Andys Knott and Bass were joined by football finance guru and Price of Football co-host Kieran Maguire, to marvel at Albion’s great start to the season, with another 4 goal haul - this time on the road at Molineux.

Also under discussion were the transfer latest, The Swiss Ramble, Mary Queen of Stops and a conspicuous absence of replica GK shirts, Spain’s triumph amidst troubled waters, Chelsea’s finances, the Saudi League, Mason Greenwood, new reffing directives and ‘hive minds’.

Follow Kieran @KieranMaguire and @POF_POD and look out for his new book co-written with pod co-host Kevin Day coming in October.

Russ, Pete, Alan and The Gent talking the parting of the ways (waves) for Albion and Moises, PL, EFL, initiation songs, the very first ever controversial refereeing / VAR decision for the home team at Old Trafford, anti-social media, dodgy Worthing co-commentators and of course the Hatters matters from last weekend, all packed into our milestone 300th episode. Yes that’s right! We’ve recorded 300 episodes of absolute drivel these past 3 and a half years. We thank you all for listening to us and hope you will continue to utterly waste your time doing so for many more arduous years to come! 🤡

Debuts from Mr & Mrs Locky aka Marcus and Yvonne, from bar billiards whiz Nigel and from Paul aka Dover in the pub pre match, followed by a resounding opening day win for the team vs The Hatters and breaking news on Albion’s British record-breaking transfer sale of a certain Ecuadorian, a-ha!

Pete and Russ are joined in Part 1 by the lesser spotted Andy Knott to give us his thoughts on the season just gone and the one to come, talking Saudi Arabia, RDZ, transfers and a controversial choice for goal of the season!

In Part 2 we were delighted to welcome Luton Town podcaster Dave Gregory from Oh When The Town onto the pod telling us his Hatters back story, the amazing story of Luton’s fall and rise, how he’s still in the clouds following his side’s promotion and what his expectations are for the coming season - including Saturday’s big game at The Amex.

Stand or fall! UTA! Let your voices ring, my boys!

Russ welcomed back to the pod our old friend Amir and new friend Paul Dorsey (from Stateside Seagulls) for them to tell us all about Albion’s successful maiden summer tour across The Pond.

The BRP were delighted to welcome onto the show Albion’s stadium announcer and MyAlbionTV presenter, Richard (not Richie!) Reynolds to talk us through his backstory and his time working with The Albion.

Richard and the Pod Squad (Russ, Pete and Alan) then looked back with enormous fondness on what without doubt has been the finest, the greatest and the most successful campaign in this grand old club’s entire 122 year history.

Best goals, best games, best moments and players of the season are of course discussed and reflections are also made on Graham Potter’s exit, plus Albion having no fewer than 8 players at the World Cup with one of them only going and winning the damn thing (complete with a key assist in the final).

Then there’s Lewis Dunk topping the pass and touch stats for the whole PL, while Julio Enciso bagged the MoTD and PL goal of the season award.

WHAT a season!

With the season finishing, pairs of podcasters from Albion’s five finest fan led providers pitted their wits in a summer special quiz.

Albion Roar co-host Alan Wares devised and presented this special event (thanks for all the work on it, Al!) as your faithful BRP pod couple Russ and Pete took on Albion Roar, Albion Obsessed, TogetherBHA and Seagulls Social to find out who would be: Top of the Pods!

Please note this episode contains swearing so don’t play in earshot of younger children, over-sensitive adults, trigger happy bosses or doting parrots!!!

Russ was delighted to welcome back Stateside friend of the pod Amir Jafari who’s currently enjoying the World Cup, a tournament in which his native and citizenship nations Iran and USA respectively come up against each other AND England in Group B.

There’s plenty to discuss including the situation in Iran and with regards to the tense fan / team relationship, thoughts on the FIFA Sham World Cup, the football so far, the prospects of a young, up-and-coming US team and of course the ongoing developments at Albion, Amir’s adopted English team of 5 years.

Stand or fall! UTA! Today I feel…critical. Today I feel…ready to strangle Infantino!

All the chat from up at The Emirates as The Mighty Albion got another thoroughly De Zerbied victory on North London soil.

Then on the Saturday, Pete and Russ went ground hopping to Sutton and took time to talk about the Arsenal game and to have one final rant (for now! 😉) about Graham ‘Easy Life’ Potter!

No time to talk about Albion’s latest win! We’ll cover that later, as this episode sees our first ever players’ wives and girlfriends guest join us, namely Alexis Mac Allister’s charming ‘other half’ Camila Mayan.

On Monday, Russell met up with her in Brighton to chat about her experiences coming over to England to join up with Alexis in the middle of the pandemic of 2020, what’s she’s made of life in Brighton, why the cafes close too early! and whether Mac gets grumpy after a bad game - not that he has many of those!!! All this and more!

A bumper cast of characters, namely Russ, Pete, Andy Bravery, Andy Knott and Alan, descended on Brighton Rock Towers to celebrate the pod’s 250th episode milestone and THAT win vs Chelsea, in the aftermath of a right old post-match row over the vigorous and sustained booing of the club’s recent but now estranged heroes.

Russ invented a new word, “ramblage” and I think Peter may have popped one on there too!

There’s some first rate ranting to be had about swollen media imbeciles Andy Jacobs, Jamie O’Hara and Garth Crooks too, not that we like to rant on this platform, you understand! 😉

Pete and Russ buggered off to Newport in Wales to tick off their shared 85th ground visited out of The 92. So after a brief intro from there the pod went off to Manchester in the company of guest MDS host Alastair, who spoke with (now local to there) friend of the show Dominic Wales and (already long standing local to there) Nick Ansley - his niece is a Team GB hockey star, you know!

After all that, Russ cast a critical - and we mean critical - eye over the game, having watched the 90 mins in full via Sky’s selection of it as game of the day.

At the weekend, it was time for our latest non-league day trip feature, so we decided to pop down to the seaside in Easternmost East Sussex (more or less) to visit The Pilot Field, home of Hastings United Football Club.

Pete and Russ imbibed of some local refreshments before meeting up with octogenarian trio Ray, Alan and Geoff, who invited us to make their Matchday journey in Ray’s car to the ground.

What top fellas they are, with plenty of stories and memories! And the team gave a good account of themselves too, against top of the table visitors Bishop’s Stortford, narrrowly missing out on a point. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Russ popped down The Gladstone with his new fanzine chums Parker, Rich and James on Thursday night for some tikka pies and tasty alements to ease our post-Spuds woes.

Under discussion were Spurs, the Dogma fanzine of course, Paul Barber’s handcuffs, tins of warm John Smith and thoughts ahead of our visit to Brentford.

After two parts of that old waffle, we moved to Friday and Part 3: our latest Matchday special (MDS).

Albion ultra Tom Hylands joined us for his BRP debut to tell us his Albion backstory and to review the disappointing 0-1 reverse at home to Peter’s favourite club and player 😉

We also lament the announcement that first team midfield dynamo Enoch Mwepu, The Computer, has had to retire from the game due to heart related issues.

In this bumper episode there’s also a Brentford preview and a major rant about the inconvenience to law abiding fans of the new ad hoc spot checking system which starts with this Friday’s game.

Stand or fall! UTA! Mouthy and disrespeful Spuds fans in the home end can piss right off!

It’s time, it’s time! The RDZ era is up and running with a performance that perfectly fits the description of his past exploits. Albion went to Anfield and came away unbeaten for a third successive time as they rushed into a two-goal lead, found themselves behind in the second half and then snatched a late equaliser in a pulsating game on Saturday. Albion were excellent as they took The Reds to task, with Leandro bagging the club’s first PL hatrick and only the third such hatrick scored by any opposition player in Anfield’s history! Can you guess who achieved this last time?! Joining Pete and Russ to revel in RDZ’s debut delight is Alan D, who beat the train strike to watch it live and direct!

This week, we invited onto the show for his debut Phil Shelley from oldfootballshirts.com to tell us about his Albion backstory, his love of football kits, his Worthing affiliation and his thoughts on our new head coach. We also welcomed his old mate Andy Bass back to join in the chat.

In part two, the always excellent Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap joined us once again to preview the latest encounter between our sides.

And then there’s a short third part in which Russ rants about duplicitous short-termist football club owners and 1970s style racists!

Here we go! After 10 days living in excited anticipation about who our next Head Coach would be we finally have the answer - and what an answer!!! Albion’s first choice and pretty much everybody else’s amongst the fanbase once they became familiar with his work and glowing credentials was officially confirmed on Sunday night (18th Sept), as Roberto De Zerbi, the 43 year old former Sassuolo and Shakhdar Coach.

Rumours became widespread that the deal was done and that he’d been spotted in town. It was thought the announcement might be delayed until after Monday’s royal funeral, but then the club published a statement on their website formalising the news.

He will be introduced to the media on Tuesday before making his preparations to get settled in Sussex and underway with the task of picking up where Graham Potter left off.

To discuss the then imminent, now published announcement were regulars Russ and Pete, plus Raymond The Gent and making his first ‘Zoomed’ pod appearance Alan D.

Stand or fall! UTA! Viva RDZ! 🇮🇹 🔵 ⚪️ 🔵 🇮🇹

Russ, Pete and Andys Knott, Bravery and Bass converge to vent, mourn, lament and moan about the departure, announced this very day (Thurs 8th Sept) that Albion’s greatest ever coach so far Graham Potter has left the club with immediate effect in order to join Chelsea, or “some grubby leftovers out of the bins” as Andy Bass called them!

The departure, it’s timing, the connotations and the future incumbent were under discussion in this pod extra.

Stand or fall! UTA! Rest in peace Queen Liz II !!!

A spectacular day at the AMEX Stadium as the Albion notched their highest goal tally of 5 in the course of thrashing Leicester City to secure their place in the top four for another week and give themselves a chance of going top when they play Bournemouth next weekend.

But just won the skies could not have been bluer for the club, a dark cloud loomed in Chelsea shape as they sacked their manager Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday morning and quickly moved to ask for permission to speak to our Graham.

….but just when the club’s skies were at their bluest, a dark cloud loomed in Chelsea shape on the horizon as they sacked their manager Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday morning and quickly moved to ask for permission to speak to our Graham.

As is the custom at the club, Tony and co. have given permission for him to speak to Chelsea and so as we publish this pod he is on his way there for talks 😩

Stand or fall! UTA! Get your grubby hands off, Chelsea!!!

Pete and Russ were joined by friend of the pod Emilio Di Nello to review the weekend’s games and to look ahead to the latest intriguing encounter between Albion and Emilio’s beloved Fulham at Craven Cottage on Tuesday evening.

There’s Jesse Marsch (terrible spelling!!!), a typical dirty Leeds team, arrogance and delusion as usual but in the end it was another win for the good guys, thanks to some perfect Pascal placement following a glorious 13 pass move.

Can the run continue though, against the latest London hosts to try to prevent Albion sneaking home with the china and cutlery! Promises to be a gripping affair as the chaps attested.

Stand or fall! UTA! Thanks for coming to make up the numbers, Dirty Leeds! 😃😉

Yes folks, for the first time we’ve decided to double up our match day specials by having two in one episode. This one covers our delightful win at the London Stadium on Sunday plus our comfortable victory in Nailsworth on Wednesday night as we advanced to the next stage of the League Cup, despite a curry sauce atrocity!.

Russell was there for both, with some of the usual suspects and the bonus balls: the Albion Roar boys at the West Ham match. It’s all here!

In this episode, as the new season is just getting underway, Russ chatted with Littlehampton Town FC chairman Rob McAlees and Worthing FC matchday commentator and podcaster Peter Vale to revel in their clubs’ recent successes on the field culminating in promotions, how the summer preps had gone and their thoughts on their clubs’ respective prospects for the new campaigns at their new levels.

There’s also a brief focus on last season’s other major Sussex football success story Hastings United, who’ve elevated to The Isthmian Prem for this season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Russell was at the match to bring you the thoughts and vibes from Albion’s first ever win at OLD Trafford (and first league ‘result’ from there at all since 1983), in his mini matchday special.

Then, back in Zoom Land, he caught up with fellow podcast stalwart Peter to get his first hand views from the game as the lads reviewed this delicious victory in more detail.

And this throughly deserved win, which The Albion cruised to in some style, came despite the best efforts of Paul Tierney and his hapless lino (away fans side of pitch), who’s conscious or unconscious bias - we don’t know, much less care which - failed to delivery yet another undeserved result against us for the thoroughly unlikeable Refchester United.

Stand or fall! UTA! Your city is blue!

Your host Russell Guiver was joined by guests contributors Andy Bravery and David Townsend, in welcoming to the pod for the first time a true Albion legend and cult hero, 70s goal machine and darling of the terraces Peter Ward.

Wardy talks us through his formative years as a football-playing (and window breaking) obsessive, his time with the two Albions of Burton and of course BHA, the Forest / Clough years, his time in The States and his thoughts on the current crop of trailblazing star players.

No.1 is Peter Ward….

Stand or fall! UTA! He shot, he scored, it must be Peter Ward, Peter Ward…Peter Ward!

Russ and a lesser spotted Pete - fresh from agreeing his new £350k pw contract Salah style - are joined by Albion-supporting sports writer Spencer Vignes to tell us more about the bad news that 70s playing legend Peter O’Sullivan has been seriously ill in hospital with a bleed to the brain. He’s on the slow road to recovery now but we ask if the club could be doing more for this Albion stalwart?

Also Spencer talks about his new up and coming book and we bring the Albion and general news up to date.

In Part 3 your intrepid hosts welcome author Stuart James Quigley to talk about his new book linking players related to the Premier League era covering all its members past and present.

Russ this week caught up with Albion fan and quality sports documentary filmmaker Louis Myles to discuss his excellent new film Croatia: Defining A Nation, which tells the tale of a nation’s emergence from the shadows following the collapse of the former Yugoslavia to reach the main stage of global football in the second half of the 1990s.

Louis also gave his opinions on Albion’s excellent season, his favourite game of the campaign and his thoughts on the talent emerging within the squad.

To watch Louis’s film - and we REALLY recommend you do so - follow this link… https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/watch/0174xGiAMX3soqstKUXKF4?autoplay=true

King Charles II, James May and Brian May wigs, Albion squandering a bunch of chances and Leeds fans being homophobic and aggressive. Standard!

Joining Russell to discuss the matters of the day were Jack Phillips and, making his debut on the pod, his dad Graham.

Albion snatched a draw from the jaws of victory in the dying minutes and those minutes really were dying! as yet another team that should’ve been put to bed…..weren’t!

We stuffed ‘em! Ooh yes! ManUre have been overdue this from us and boy did we oblige! It could and probably should have been more as Albion romped to a 4-0 win which keeps them 9th in the table.

Russ requisitioned some of his usual ‘Noisy Boys’ and others besides - including We Are Brighton’s Scott McCarthy - to give their views and capture the mood on this magnificent day in the club’s Premier League history.

Listen out for some Albion fans in the background shouting “SIU!” in the WSU and a ranting Man U fan at The Nelson during our post match drinkies 😉

The return of the prodigal son! Yes, Wedge’s middle son George was back from Oz for the first time in over 2.5 years and went straight from the airport to his Dad’s waiting car at home in Bedfordshire for the trip to Molineux. 33 hours journey wasn’t going to stop him and what a game to pick as Albion blitzed their hosts 0-3 (it should have been more!) as they marched on to 9th in the table! Your intrepid host Russell came along for the ride. Couldn’t miss George’s first game back on his extended return stay in Blighty!

Well, that’s two home games unbeaten in a row and we scored goals from open play at The Amex….yes, really!!!

Home match bogey boys Saaafmptn came to town and pegged us back after we had strutted into a two goal lead. Casting an eye each over these happenings were your regular hosts with the most Russ and Pete, plus pod regular Andy Bass. In part 2, the pod squad looked over the weekend’s other football events as the various divisional run-ins hotted up and made their predictions / declared their preferences for the PL ups and downs.

It’s was a sunny St George’s Day down on the coast as Worthing FC’s own St George (Dowell, the owner) saw his beloved club lift the trophy via a final win of the season vs Brightlingsea Regent at Woodside Road.

Pete and Russ were there for their final feature episode on WFC’s campaign, the end of a lovely series that was very handsomely enjoyed in 2021-22.

There’s also a quick reflection on the Easter Monday visit to Horsham’s brand new stadium and on Albion’s latest fruitless trip to The Emptyhad.

Next up…The Saints are coming to The Fortressless Amex!

Another day in North London, another glorious win. Hey ho! I suppose we’ll just have to accept that 🎶 “North London is ours, North London is ours, we’re Brighton & Hove Albion, North London is ours!” 🎶

Yes Albion’s woes are behind them as they made it back-to-back wins in the capital and advanced to 40 points for the season, just one shy of our PL era points record.

Russ and his crew were there to take in the delights of the day and to drink a taproom dry in celebration: standard! 😉

Yes Albion are back on track with a great win at The Emirates and our roving presenter from the north, Mr Alastair Jones, was there to document this glorious day, from pre match tipples to stadium vocals and a post match reflection back at the delightful Hammerton Brewery taproom.

As the dust settles on yet another failed attempt by Albion to win a match in the Premier League, Pete and Russ welcomed Kieran Maguire back onto the podcast once again to discuss the latest Brighton & Hove Albion FC accounts that have been published in the last few days. We delve into the connotations of having lost just over £1 million a week throughout the last financial year, the record high wages bill being paid and ask Kieran’s opinion on Albion’s overall strategy and his thoughts on the current team so far this season. Then in part two, Pete and Russ continued on with a further analysis of the weekend’s stalemate versus Norwich plus a look at some other bits of football news.

After hearing the matchday thoughts from some usual suspects including a welcome return to the UK and the pod for Basel based Tipsy Tim Palmer, Peter, Russ and Andy dissect Albion’s frustrating performance in more detail before looking at senior team development in general this season and glancing at the loan progression in The Championship and other matters.

There is also time to have a pop at FIFA, Leeds, and Steven Gerrard!

After the pain and frustration of a dreary failure against Bogey Boys Burnley FC, we need cheering up, so it’s time for the second part of our initial conversation with club prez and all round Albion legend (should be Sir) Dick Knight.

In this part, Dick covers Bll Archr, helpful David Davies and his less helpful colleagues at the FA, an outrageous bond requirement, Martin Perry, prising control of The Albion, Dick’s Crawley Town FC proposal, fan power, Arch*r’s football club affiliation revealed, Fans United & THAT Hereford game, dreams of a brave new future, Brian Horton and his Priestfield era players (including the regaling of the legendary Gary Hart transfer deal story) and the importance of connecting with the fans.

A combo episode this time incorporating our latest Fanzine Special with the Burnley Matchday Special.

Russ met the creator and the co-editors of the recently started Dogma Fanzine, a publication of high production quality dedicated to the subject of Albion fan culture, celebrating all the quirks of the great city of Brighton & Hove and looking at football culture in general. It’s great and they were good value, talking us through their Albion stories and the genesis of the fanzine.

We then had the pleasure of a chat with Stateside ex-pat and friend of the show Jon Bradshaw aka The Brighton Bard, who was over to visit family and take in the game (bet he wished he hadn’t done the latter!!!), before embarking on an over optimistic look ahead to the Burnley match which of course turned out even more disastrously than usual games against them down in dear ole Brighty.

Finally there was the agonising dissection of what went wrong! Hey ho!

Stand or fall! UTA! Please go down Burnley, you annoying bstrds! ;)

Our friends in the north, Alastair and Nick, provide their views from Old Trafford as Albion were robbed of the best chance of a deserved result due to VAR’s re-writing of reality to ManUre’s benefit, pressuring ref Peter Bankes into sending off Lewis Dunk. So it’s a case of same sh*t, different day for the good guys! Russ then popped on to have a mega rant!

The Matchday posse were on the loose again, this time in sunny-ish Hertfordshire, to witness Lewis Dunk’s 350th Albion appearance, a clean sheet and another win on the road as Albion extended their unbeaten PL run to a new record 7th game. What’s more they’ve still only lost one game on the road all season in the league.

Russ, Dunc, Andy K, Alan, Simon T (giggling away!), Wedge, Ian, Courtney, Ahmed, Alison and, making his debut on the pod, her brother Phil, all featured, along with a post match appearance from Dom and a cameo debut appearance at FT from ‘fan of the show’ Rob Gilbert - pleasure meeting you, sir!

WARNING: There is a teensy bit of naughty language uttered within this pod.

The BRP has reached an epic milestone with this, it’s 200th episode. To celebrate this event, regular co-hosts Russell Guiver and Peter Marsh invited onto the pod a genuine club legend and club saviour: the one, the only, Mr (should be Sir, really!) Dick Knight.

In this first episode we talked through Dick’s early days becoming an Albion fan, listing his team heroes, favourite memories of those earlier days and about how he retained his love of The Albion through the years, despite the distractions of his career in advertising that led him to travel thousands of miles back and forth across the Atlantic.

We also talked Archr and Blotti, the war years, Fans United and much more.

Stand or fall! UTA! Dick Knight, the man, the legend!

It’s the Noisy Boys making all the noise. A sizeable posse of repBEERobates assembled pre match to impart their words of wisdom (most predicting an Albion win (hmm)). There were pod debuts aplenty in the form of Wedge, Brian The Geordie Seagull and some gloating Spuds fan in corporate, but it was not to be for the beautiful team this time, exiting this year’s competition courtesy of a 3-1 defeat in The Smoke.There was also time for a nice little post match debate on the mercenary scale of tolerance of football fans in relation to disreputable owners, a classic late night pub topic I’m sure you’ll agree!Stand or fall!

Russ and Pete welcomed Raymond The Gent back to discuss an extraordinary turn of events at the weekend. Albion went one down and then came back to draw 1-1. Yes, yes, we know. It’s utterly fanciful stuff but it’s true we tell ya! Really, it is, honest! Oh and Watford sacked their coach again. Next you’ll be telling us night follows day follows night! Ha! As if!Yes it’s the weekend when we brought the Albion curse to Worthing Fc’s Woodside Road ground on the Saturday and then saw Albion fulfil their obligations and notch their first 1-1 draw in a whole 5 days! 12 down and 6 to go as they march seemingly without hesitation towards a 38-game top flight record for draws in a single season.Meantime Watford got buttered at home by revivalists Norwich, leading the owners to change their first team coach Claudio along with their own underwear.

A Matchday Special of sorts, with all the build up pre-match from the pub, the station, the train and the stadium approaching kick-off in Part One of the pod. (You may be astonished to discover that once again some naughty, naughty language has abounded on this segment! Also some suspicious slurring which led to a lack of in-match podcasting!)In Part Two, Russ is joined by Andys Bass and Knott to analyse the game and reflect on the latest Potterisms and yet another late goal from The Good Guys.In other matters Rafa The Spanish Waiter has been sacked from his job at Goodison’s, a restaurant of no current distinction.

It’s Brighton / Place time! It’s not a derby, it’s a rivalry!!! Quit your branding efforts, Media!In this precursive chat ahead of the big kick off, we invited the opposition on again to get a feel for the mood in the run up to Friday. On this occasion Russ was delighted to welcome on Amy Latter, a life long Place fan (boo, hiss), former Selhurst Park cheerleader (hooray!) and now mother to a little lady who at 3.5 months old becomes our youngest ‘guest’, in her cameo role!!Under discussion: life as a Place fan, the crunch games v Albion including ‘that’ game, the easy home wins for both sides, Russ’s mate missing all three goals in the St Patrick’s Day Massacre match, the pantomime villainy roll call starring Wilf Zaha, Neal Maupay, Lewis Dunk and soon likely to star Michael Olise.We also whinge at the derby branding attempts by outsiders, give our score predictions and welcome Amy’s tiny tot Zara to the show!

In this episode we brought on Sheebo for his debut (unless you count a previous incident of drunken singing in the pub at Brentford away!) to tell us his Albion story and his opinions on the recent Chelsea trip. We then welcomed back to the pod the Greater Manchester massive of Nick and Alastair to give us their first hand accounts of Albion’s magnificent first ever victory at Goodison Park, where the side ran out 2–3 winners. Double Mac and cheers! as Ali Mac’s brace won the day.The boys also acknowledge the premature retirement of the club’s former PL regular Davy Propper, at the age of just 30.Look out for another episode later this week previewing the West Bromwich Albion game and also welcoming to the pod another debutante, Scott McCarthy from We Are Brighton.Stand or fall!

Glad tidings and compliments of the (football) season to all our listeners. This 187th episode sees host RG welcome back friend of the show Robin Woolley to the Zoom Room. Under discussion this festivus is the splendid 2-0 win (and double-doing completion) over Brentford on Boxing Day, prospective transfer targets and possible loan movements each way, a possible revision of ticketing policy, Newcastle Despotivo’s desperate predictament (snigger) and then there’s the small matter of Albion’s chances of inflicting only a second ever defeat on Chelski- and a first since our very first clash (in the FA Cup) a mere 89 years ago!!!Stand or fall!

Following an exchange of views between media present Albion fans and Albion CEO / vice chairman Paul Barber this week, Pete and Russ got their teeth into the matter and to put it bluntly they were both solidly in one camp over the other!Once that gentle little discussion was put in the bottom corner Graham P came under the spotlight again regards the post match boo comments from last week. There was then a ‘coming together’ when Pete reiterated his view that the Albion coach, while certainly good, is overrated. Russ made a robust challenge and handbags ensued. Luckily the players shook hands and had a beer or three. (Good job this clash was on Zoom otherwise there might have been fireworks!!!!)Also on the agenda was the Ashworth to Newcastle and Weir to Everton possibilities, the disasterously badly scheduled Boxing Day evening game and the prospect of an enormous number of ‘no shows’, the legendary Sergio Aguero’s retirement announcement, a focus on Leeds CEO Angus Kinnear: arch hypocrite and fellow contemptuous figures Brady, Parrish and Purslow, “if at first you don’t succeed fail fail again”, flopping royally on The Price of Football Quiz and Pete Marsh: Harbinger of Relegation Doom!

Russ, Andy K, Richard and Pete in this week’s pod squad as the latest draw comes under the spotlight. A scintillating display by the lads on the pitch except in the vital category of finishing…a catalogue of scoring chances, three strikes of the ‘woodwork” and another clean sheet.

Pete and Russ are back on Zoom to dissect the latest disappointment at Villa Park, where Albion bossed possession and general play once again but also presented us with the same issues in the final third.We ask is Pascal Groß‘s time up as a regular first teamer, how can we best enhance Tariq Lamptey’s returning presence with good link ups, should we finally ditch our striker flops (Locadia and Connolly) in favour of our up-and-comers (Sarmiento, Tolaj, Ferguson) and will our loaned out attackers be able to come back and be added to the mix (Zeqiri, Mitoma, Khadra, Sima).We also note Ole being a Gunnar - driving off the cliff while at the wheel - against another shocker from Harry ‘Slabhead & Fingers-In-Ears’ Maguire , bemoan Crippled Phallus’s immunity to deserved red cards (that’s 3 this season now!), lament Sussex footy’s woeful weekend and ask if the penalty-encroachment-retake rules need changing.Stand or fall!

On the upside there were some good individual performances, especially from the subs, which included Tariq Lamptey - back with some proper sizzle and fizz!There’s also a look at the rest of the weekend’s PL results, a round up of non league Sussex action and of course a nice Newcastle rant again, as Palace fans displayed a banner protesting the takeover over Newcastle, their weekend visitors.Oh and W e also previewed the upcoming League Cup visit to The Kingpower this midweek.Stand or fall!

This week RG went down the pub (surprise, surprise….in fact the only real shock was the change of location!) to meet up with his new chum Billy Grant, a long time Brentford FC fan and podcaster of several years’ standing, to get his backstory, find out about the advent of Beesotted - The Bees fans’ long standing vehicle of many guises in the world of fan media and to delight in describing his beloved club’s rise and rise from the lower divisions to the Prem, via a lockdown letdown! RG’s good friend Ade The Gooner was handily placed, living just round the corner from the chosen pub, so he also joined in to receive some gentle needle from Billy about THAT season opener.This is the first (and longer) episode of a two-part special with Billy in the run up to Albion’s debut visit to Brentford’s ‘New Griffin Park’ stadium this weekend.Stand or fall!

In this episode, Peter and RG reflect on the Everton defeat and the fact that it is “another transfer window, another failure to sign a striker (oven ready!)“. Yes the transfer window has been SLAMMED shut, as aggressively as always (apparently!) and the club HAVE made some signings…just not that elusive first team ready striker we’ve craved these past few months. The chaps discuss how painfully exposed that leaves us in one very vital area of the pitch, in terms of squad depth and they peruse the rest of the significant transfer activity ‘this window’ to see who will be visiting The Amex this season.Anyway, with Guendouzi and Luiz long gone, we do now have as a consolation the player with easily the biggest hair in the PL.

Pete and Russ were joined by young podcaster, blogger and budding journo Charlie Haffenden, to tell us how and when he became an Albion fan, how his Amex era love affair with the club is such that even 0-5 defeats to Bournemouth don’t hurt TOO much, how he enjoyed the charity livestream event a couple of months ago...complete with Lawro’s unwitting habit for drifting out of frame on Zoom!...and how annoying the trains past Gatwick can be on match day!!!We cover loads of ground on the footy news front, review the West Ham game, cheer for the underdogs’ success in the FA Cup Final and talk about Covid vaccine season ticket queues!Cliches of the Week: “finishing with aplomb”, “teams like Brighton” and “seen them given”.Stand or fall!

With just one week to go until cinemas are open again (whoo hoo!!!) we invited an excited writer, podcaster, cinema owner (and idiot according to him!) in the shape of Picture House, Uckfield’s Kevin Markwick onto the pod to tell us of his love of cinema,The Albion and talking! There’s mention of Lord Lucan, that Albion legend he likes, oh whatsisname?!, Bobby something, liking Woody Allen films in his schooldays, his Alien poster, podcasting on R4 and beyond & how pants that non-penalty decision was vs Wolves on Sunday.

In this pod extra, Russ, Andy Bass, Jack and Pete had the pleasure of Albion academy graduate Danny Cashman’s company to discuss his 8 years with the club and the dawn of a new pathway after the announcement of his departure from the club for pastures new recently.

The pod welcomed back Andy Bass and gave a debut to Jack Phillips this week to continue our ranting and further reflection on the past 2-3 weeks of greedy snorting at the football trough by the vulture capitalists and would-be assassins of the sport (we’ll never, EVER calm down about this vile assault on our beautiful game!), of major protests and staunch opposition to the proposals, the scheme’s collapse and its chief perpetrator, Florentino ‘Utterly Out Of Touch With Reality’ Perez’s continued delusional ramblings. Meantime, Russ reveals that he’s found someone seemingly sane(?) who is actually fully in favour of this abomination, FFS!

Another Leeds game, another regulation win. Peter and Russ chat The Dirty Dozen, Dirty Leeds & that ‘filthy’ Welbs goal in the distinguished company of filmmaker and Albion fan Louis Myles, talking us through his Albion backstory from being born just after the final whistle had blown up at Wembley in ‘83 to tears at The Amex and about his career in sport - latterly as a sports documentarist of fine films such as Kaiser The Greatest Footballer Never To Play Football (available on Prime throughout 2021!).Stand or fall!

Yet another draw but also yet another clean sheet (50% ratio of success in that regard for Bobby Sanch aka El Pantera) and another step towards confirming our place in next season’s title race ;)We could have nabbed it towards the end but a point was a fair result and in what is an incredibly busy an eventful week we only had one option for getting this episode out and that was to record views immediately post match on our Zoom Terrace chat. Lucky for us then that The Gent, our northern correspondent Alastair Jones and pod debutante Tim Palmer were on hand to proffer their opinions on the match and also on the crumbling PR Disasterclass so effectively illustrated by The Dirty Dozen, those blood-sucking anti-football leeches who’s sneaky, clandestine conspiracy to assassinate the game was scuppered and then obliterated by the might of the football community.

So it looks like they’ve finally done it. The vile, greedy gluttons that have snaffled control of some of our traditional giants (and Chelsea and Man City!) have announced the formulation of a twelve team European league comp that from the end of this podcast onwards will only be referred to by us as The Dirty Dozen League (DDL). They call it ‘super’. We don’t! It’s the very antithesis of super.These notes pretty convincingly plot spoil our opinions but have a listen anyway as BRP’s Russell links up with TogetherBHA’s Josh Goldsmith to unleash our mega rant (or should that be Super rant?!!).

We were rejoined this week by regular Robin Woolley and by friend of the show Brett Mendoza, landlord of The (rather excellent!) Caxton Arms pub in central Brighton, to find out about his journey through lockdown woes and onto the happier times of pub gardens reopening next week, with full returns also on the horizon.Then there’s the utter shock of us having experienced a woeful referring decision in favour of Man Utd to talk about. I know, we can’t believe it either!

As we enter the final 9 games of the PL campaign (8 in Fulham’s case), we invited onto the pod Cottage Talk podcaster Emilio to give his views on the season to date and The Cottagers prospects for survival (and our’s) as the battle to avoid the bottom three starts to heat up. We did also invite Newcastle media / fans to join us to give their opinions but rather tellingly, absolutely NONE of them responded at all, let alone politely declining. The cowards (‘Steve Bruce’s’)!Then in our final segment we caught up with one of last season’s guests, Man U fan Sean Sorohan, to size up this Sunday’s attempt at some Albion revenge for that outrageous travesty of justice at The Amex earlier this season, the game which spawned the nickname Leandro Trossbar!Stand or fall!

In our third focus on the Sussex non-league scene, we cast our Gulls’ eyes along the coast to Worthing FC to catch up on what has been happening there since we last looked. Sadly it’s a case of “a new day, a new prematurely-ended season” as their promising start and the suggestion of another promotion campaign ahead was once again scuppered by Covid lockdown and league decisions. Adam Hinshelwood and his squad will be hoping it will be a case of third time lucky when things return to normal, and we were delighted to have Hinsh join us to tell us all about that and all other matters relating to the team and his plans for them. We were also joined by Hayden and Sam from fan groups ABF and Away Boys respectively to give the views from the terraces and to talk about the revolution in fan culture at Woodside Road.In Part 2, Hinsh touches on his Albion days and THAT own goal - he brought it up, not us!!! and WFC’s match day commentator & Rebel Yell podcast co-host Peter Vale comes on as a HT sub (for Sam) to give his views on the current state of play and to show off his prominent mic! ;)So, rapidly increased attendances, noisy support, pre-emptive ground improvements for the benefit of players and fans alike and an excellent administration and ownership behind the scenes means things are looking up for The Rebels / Mackerel Men. Could we be on the brink of seeing the best ever years ahead for this proud old 135 year old institution?!

Clinical finishing at The Albion? Why, of course!!! Yes, three of the best saw off woeful Newcastle as the team made it a rare back-to-back success on Solly March Day (20 March), which also happened to be Tony Bloom’s birthday (and that of one of our guest contributors, Robin!). But was this really a rare hone win? I mean, the boys stayed overnight in a hotel before travelling to the ground together by coach. Sounds suspiciously like an away game to us!

Endorsed by The Albion and in aid of fund raising for the club’s charity wing Albion In The Community, the event promises to be quite the extravaganza with Paul Barber, ‘El Capitano’ Bruno Saltor, Mark Lawrenson, Andy Naylor, Kieran Maguire of Price Of Football fame, football summariser (and Albion fan) Dave Beckett, various charity related guests and multiple hosts rolling throughout the afternoon and evening all participating, plus there’s a competition, a pre match view from the Newcastle United viewpoint and a watch-along and post match section concluding the bonanza.Josh also gives us his views on the upcoming biggy vs Newcastle and on inbound PFA man Maheta Molango, possibly Albion’s shortest lived legend and cult hero (his fame in dear ole Brighty lasted for about half a match!).If you are an Apple user or subscriber, please rate us five stars if you can see your way to such unwarranted benevolence and you can submit written reviews too.

So Albion started brightly, took the lead, conceded an equaliser and then went on to lose to a late winner. You know the drill by now! But wait! Hang on! What’s this?! A change of match narrative? Yeah right, we’re not that GULLible. But no, it’s true...Saints alive! Yes that’s right boys and girls. We’ve matched their win at our’s earlier in the campaign (without the need for a dubious penalty though!). Adam Lallana completed another 90, Tross missed the Trossbar to score the winner and Andi Zeqiri played a half to good effect at left wing back. No, really!! It’s all here and prevaricated over in detail by cheesy grin brigade, who also doth their hats to Bobby “The Panther” Sanchez, for his early stage call-up to the Spain senior national team squad for the upcoming internationals.

It all started so well (the Leicester game that is, not the substandard pun-laced intro to this pod). But in the end it was peak Albion as we gave away yet another lead, failed to score more than one again, switched off at key moments to clinically-punished effect, screwed up the subs and conceded a late winner. Ah such cosy familiarity! On the upside, at least our players aren’t calling Graham a “coward”, unlike one from a certain club in the North East has allegedly done.

We had the very great pleasure of welcoming a true Albion legend to the pod, in fact probably The Albion’s best ever player to date. He was at the heart of our rise to the top flight in ‘79 and was a rock at the back in our formative years at England’s top football table. After shining with his dazzling breaks from the back as a roving central defender in his time at The Goldstone he stepped on to even greater heights, winning the very best club trophies available with the Titans that were Liverpool FC, forming a formidable partnership with Alan Hansen.

Blue skies. Wispy clouds. What better time than now for a quick catch up and a natter with The Gent, Raymond Wright.In discussion: his views on the season so far, what we need to resolve on the pitch and which moves we should make to have the winter sun shine on Albion’s fortunes going forward in the crucial upcoming weeks. Also rather conveniently, while recording, we heard word from Graham P’s presser that Percy Tau had arrived and already trained with The Albion this morning (Thursday) and that he might feature at the weekend, as we hope to avoid any “banana skins down South Wales way!”. We also had time to throw in a nice cliche of the week: “the pitch can be a leveller”.

We were going to swap ourselves out in favour of the lost and forgotten this week in tribute to Graham Potter’s first team selection but given the result thought better of it so we’ve settled for regulars Russell, Peter and Andy B, plus Arsenal fan Jason, who pops back in for a metaphorical cuppa and a chinwag and to give his view on the game and Albion’s prospects. And we speculate on what’s needed from Tony B and co to resolve our ongoing woes. A new coach? A major striker signing?

Time for a special! We once asked comedian and Place fan Kevin Day if there was any chance he’d come on our Albion podcast in the run up to the last derby match and he succinctly replied “none whatsoever!”. However, by means of an entirely unrelated bet he’d made with someone and by our shameless opportunism, we managed to persuade him to come on and speak with the ‘enemy’ - at a safe distance from the next clash between our sides. And he confirmed our already well established view that both he and Place fans in general are thoroughly decent chaps! Typical bloody P*lace spoiling our pantomime hatred! 😠 In this first half of our chat, Kevin talks about his affiliation from its early days, more broadly on the essence of football supporter culture and a few of the funny, bizarre and downright surreal experiences of following the beautiful game.We are sponsored by Seagulls Over Londonwww.seagullsoverlondon.comYou can tweet us @brightonrockpod or email brightonrockpodcast@gmail.comStand or Fall!
