Dr. Brighton To The Rescue. Bees MDS
Haven’t won at home all calendar year, you say? Not to worry, Dr.Brighton is here to remedy your ailments. They’ve recently cured Crystal P*lace’s century-long inability to do the double over The Albion AND found a miracle cure to Leicester City’s frankly pathetic scoring record these past 3/4 months. To talk you through Dr.Brighton’s marvellous medicinal methods is Russ, Pete, Duncan Lees, Jim Frank, debutants Marshy and Ben and more besides.

“Form Is Temporary, Class Is Permanent”. P*lace MDS
The Pod Squad donned their Hazmats and endured the festering swamp that is Smellworst, helped to out sing the chavlettes and cronies in the home end (with Andy K starting a new song for good measure) until their luckily-deflected winner settled matters and then again for most of the rest of the half until it finally became apparent that the good guys weren’t going to be able to break down their low block - story of our lives against the lesser footballing sides! ;) Post match a handful of us showed our faces (classy move!) at the local pub we’d been invited to by the ‘other lot’ for some banter and as far as Russell was concerned some tactical therapy….and a curry! Russ, Clive, Scott, Andy K, Mo, Alan, The Duncans, Courtney and, post match, Jim (making his pod debut) and P*lace’s finest, Toby K provided the day’s chat and opinion. Stand or fall! UTA!

P*lace Preview. Boo, Hiss!
Pete and Russ welcomed P*lace-supporting friend of the show Toby Kinder onto the pod to talk (as little as possible) about the mutually awful midweek disasters, to chat about the season as a whole and to look ahead to some obscure meaningless fixture we are hardly thinking about whatsoever taking place this weekend in a dreadful backwater of England’s bloated capital.

Barnet Special & Weekend Review
Russ & Pete welcomed Craig Clayton to the pod to tell us about his beloved Barnet FC’s plans to return to the local borough from relative exile in Edgware. Craig is part of the campaign group hoping to raise awareness and support for their bid to return home, with a site very close to their cherished ancestral home (now a school!) at Underhill being the location identified. As well as telling us his Bees backstory and about how well things are going on the pitch, there’s wistful reminiscences about Underhill (the original), Pete’s account of his own many visits, having been brought up in the vicinity and of the major names that have graced the hallowed turf, such as Tony Cotten and Edgar Davids, yes….THE Edgar Davids. Then in part two, your regular undynamic duo looked back again to the highly creditable draw at City, stretching the unbeaten run to 7, reflected on the rest of the weekend’s main talking points and examined how the EFL promotion and relegation battles are shaping up.

“Contemplating A Masterpiece”. City MDS
A stellar array of Albion friends were up in force on the occasion of the team’s first ever point at The Etihad (means The Union, apparently) and busily contributing to this bumper MDS episode. Debuts for Irish Seagull Jack, for Vicky Lees, Johnny Gresty (over from The States) and possibly also his nephew George (over from Oz) and also Rod from Hailsham and Marian from Eastbourne. Your insatiable host Russ imbibed with these and other reprobates to an excessive degree around the merry streets of Old Manchester Town, celebrating another fantastic performance that could and perhaps should have yielded an unprecedented double over The Cityzens.

This week we were delighted to welcome back to The BRP once again, football finance guru and spreadsheet devil Kieran Maguire to give us his assessment of Albion’s very favourable looking latest published accounts, showing another handsome profit.

Unusual Platforms. Fulham (h) MDS
Some of the usual suspects plus some of the more UNusual, taking in the atmosphere of the day, for a pod available on some of the usual platforms plus (maybe?!) some of the more UNusual. There was a glorious comeback win complete with last minute penalty alert, breaking a ridiculously long hoodoo, loads of singing on the usual (train) platform and some weird beer.

Just like the midweek game before it, another highly entertaining and more importantly impressive winning performance from The Albion at happy hunting ground St James’ Park, to progress to the quarter finals and a potential revenge exercise at home to Forest.

“This One’s For You, Wedge!” Saints (a) MDS
Another fine and dandy day out watching the football as Albion romped to a resounding 0-4 win at St Mary’s. Russ and the pod squad were there to soak it all up but the day was also indelibly marked with tragedy as we heard the awful news that morning of the passing of our great friend and sometime contributor to this podcast Andy Gresty aka Wedge / Wedgee who took himself away from pain to hopefully be in a better place somewhere. We all loved you, Wedgee and already miss you more than we can say. RIP dear friend. This episode and Saturday’s result are dedicated to you xxx Stand or fall!

Brighton at the Double. CFC & Non-League MDS
With Chelsea safely despatched from the FA Cup last weekend, attentions turned six days later to ridiculous 8pm kickoff part two and a Brighton breezy 3-0 ‘sweep aside’ of our dearly beloved London visitors! Winning that game meant one double was achieved for the Albion in the shape of back-to-back home wins against Chelsea, but it wasn’t the only double for Brighton at the weekend. That’s because the other club of note within the city of Brighton and Hove, Whitehawk, were in action the following day for the very tough visit to highflying Dover Athletic, but it was The Hawks who prevailed to make it a glorious double for Brighton’s teams with their surprising 0-2 win. Russ and Jack Albion made the trip down to the corner of Kent to see that fantastic win, taking the opportunity to review Albion’s battering of Chelsea down the pub before kickoff on Saturday.

“Three Ex-Seagulls Lying on the Floor” Cup Review
It was just the reaction the boys in the stripes needed to provide and they did so, thanks to an accomplished headed finish from Smiler and a delicious low chipped winner by Mito, leaving an array of objectionable ex-Seagulls in his wake, sprawled pitifully upon the hallowed turf of Albion. Evenings (far too late evenings, thanks a lot ITV you selfish bastards!) don’t get much better than this and my oh my did we all enjoy it, even though many had to stay at home to watch on the tellybox (thanks again ITV you selfish bastards!). The considered views of Andy K and Raymond ‘The Gent’ Wrighty McWright accompanied the idle ramblings of your erstwhile and consistently nauseating host Russell G - who now seems to have taken to singing pod intros……good grief and lord save us all!!! As well as revelling in the rightful elimination of Chelsea (not completely, they DO still exist unfortunately) the chaps cast an entertained eye over the rest of the weekend’s cup games including Devon’s cream of the crop, cupsetters extraordinaire Plymouth Argyle, perused the 5th Round draw and considered Albion’s prospects for Chelsea (h) Part Two. However it was far from all fun and games and kicking Marc Cockarella ten foot upwards. It was our profoundly sad duty to report to any that hadn’t heard already of the devastating loss to us all of Worthing FC club legend Peter Vale. Pete passed away this week following a very recent cardiac arrest. He leaves behind him an array of people harbouring the fondest of memories of his kindness, friendliness, dedication to the club through all his free time generously given up in order to travel the length and breadth of the country commentating on Rebels games and his wonderful sense of humour. Pete has appeared on numerous podcasts, most notably Rebel Yell and latterly The Premier Non League Podcast (PNLP), as well as several guest slots on our own humble platform here. We are devastated to hear the news and can’t begin to describe how sadly missed he’ll be to all who knew him. The outpouring on social media has been utterly heartwarming, yet entirely unsurprising. We miss you already, Pete. Friend, legend and all round good guy. Stand or fall! UTA!

7 Up (at the Wrong End)!
This week’s Pod Squad comprised a trio of Andys including the lesser spotted Andy Bravery and making his (Zoom pod) debut, Wedge aka Andy Gresty, plus Andy Bass and of course the only 100% man over these 407 pods, Russell G. We wanted to just talk about the weather and the price of fish but felt obligated to discuss something of an aberration by The Trent as Forest, spearheaded by the most nominatively deterministically named player in history, Chris Wood, felled Albion’s severely depleted charges to the tune of 7-0. Also under discussion was an eventful transfer window that marginally strengthened this season’s squad with ins (Gomez and Cashin) but weakened it with outs (Fergie, Moder and Enciso), plus other future planning business and some other sales and releases. Loads to talk about so it was another bumper episode. Stand or fall!

Non League Special: Maidstone v Worthing
Russ and Pete saw Everton were heading for the coast and thought “sod that!”, electing to follow The Mighty Rebels’ fixture over in Kent, in an important promotion six-pointer. Surprise, surprise, the Everton game turned out to be a typically turgid, anti-footballing affair while The Stones v Rebels clash was entertaining and fun. R&P obviously took the opportunity to sample some of the local quaffables pre and post match and had the pleasure to sit down for a chat with some local fans, including Paul, who kindly agreed to have us record our conversation.

Yes it’s all about the threes!

Happy days! Albion made their superiority count as they came away with all three points yet again from the Theatre of Leaks. In this episode Russ and Pete were zooming, with plenty of reflections on the game, but only after we heard from our northern correspondence Alastair and Nick, who gave us their thoughts while at the game for a mini MDS.

Solly!!! Canaries Cup MDS & Review
We are UP FOR THE CUP! And we really were on Saturday, riding an early threat from Norwich to eventually romp home 0-4. A great day out, a great performance and some fantastic positives to be taken from the game, including a welcome return for Danny Welbeck, a welcome and sensational appearance from the bench for Solly March, some really good goals including an overdue strike for Julio Enciso and last but by absolutely no means least, a first team debut for young Albion centre back Ruairi McConville, who came on and acquitted himself really well. Russ spoke to his dad and younger brother in the away end at the end of the match and found both family members to be delighted and extremely proud of Ruairi’s debut. Also on the pod we heard from two Davids, Chris, Sam, Molly, Caroline, Will and Clive. So next up, an immediate return to East Anglia with a visit to Portman Road in the Prem. Stand or fall! UTA!

A Team of Two Halves…Again!
Well here we went again. Another day, another underwhelming result. We spoke to Billy ‘The Bee’ Grant ahead of the game to get the opposition view (just before Christmas) and then Russ, Alan, Duncan and Alex Lees, Chris, Kevin, Wilts, Dan and Fin’ all gave their thoughts as the action eventually unfolded on 27th. Then in the final part of the episode The Brighton Rock Podcast paid tribute to Bill Nicolle who sadly passed away a few weeks ago. Bill was a long term supporter and a regular in the West Stand Upper, father to three Seagulls supporting children, friends of the show Alison, Richard and Phil and an all round good guy who will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Season Review with Nick Szczepanik
Pete and Russ were joined by prominent sports writer, journalist and author Nick Szczepanik for our grand and bumper season review, revelling in the European memories made, the good start to the league campaign and the 4 points (definitely should have been 6!) gained against our baby brothers from the wrong side of Gatwick!, but also lamenting what else could have been as we were overcome by an endless and relentless injury ravaged season. And then of course there’s the little matter of Albion and RDZ parting ways, not so the latter could accept a glamorous offer from a storied European titan but due merely to philosophical differences going forwards, an unexpected ending indeed. *VOTE FOR YOUR TOP THREE PLAYERS OF THE SEASON IN RANKED ORDER BY TWEETING @BrightonRockPod Stand or fall!

Yes, on the Ep we celebrated Russell’s new concept, St.Nigel’s Day - the day upon which it became mathematically impossible for the great unwashed from Slumhurst to overtake us in the current season. May the 4th be with you lads (yes it was Star Wars Day too so something of a total eclipse of the heart one might say! However it was as good as done already thanks to a vastly superior goal difference - not the only thing vastly superior about our team over theirs. And as if that wasn’t enough, we only went and beat England’s most over privileged team with a last second penalty to complete a historic first double over these VARstly entitled bunch of whatsits to ram their gloating fans’ songs right back down their throats for good measure.

“A Weird Flip On The Usual”. A Deadline Day Special
Lots of “weird flips on the usual” this week: we podded from a new venue, thus spawning the new temporary nickname of The Pembury Taverners; Matthew, who we had on before only on Zoom, joined us in person at the pub (as did Laurence and QPR-supporting debutant Ed); and The Albion turned down three bags of mega cash from PL heavyweights. There’s also plenty of chat about the wider window, Caicedo’s awful advice-giving new agent and his mercenary faux-journo buddy, Albion’s second win in a fortnight against The Scousers, the women’s great cup triumph over the ‘other’ Albion, the permanent look of confusion on the face of Jürgen Klopp, loan watch and football fans being Villafied[sic] Stand or fall!

“So Good, It’s Ridiculous!“ 3-0 v Liverpool Review
In this bumper episode, justifiable for the pure glory of our scintillating win on Saturday, Russ and Pete co-hosted a strong Pod Squad comprising Andy Bass, Andy Bravery and Alan Dodd. Plenty was said on the magnificence of the performance at the weekend, on the transformative qualities of Roberto De Zerbi and on the fact that as Andy Bass said, “we are just so good it’s ridiculous!”. As well as commenting on the match, the guys reflected on Leandro Trossard‘s absence from the club and his seemingly looming departure, other transfer matters pertaining to The Albion, a round up of the other main talking points from the weekend and Russell’s latest pop at “the tin pot pundits” who plague part our media. We also reflect on the sad news that Enoch Mwepu was taken ill with his heart related issue over in Zambia. We wish him the very best for a full and speedy recover Stand or fall! UTA!

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!

“Benvenuto Roberto De Zerbi!!!”
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.

“Angry Ted Lasso & Tony Bloom Soundalike”. Leeds Review & Fulham Preview
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!

“Refchester United: Your City Is Blue!”
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.

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. Stand or fall! UTA!

Fanzine Special Volume 3: Dogma & Storm Burnley
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.

Varchester United Review
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! Stand or fall! UTA! Down with conscious bias! Down with unconscious bias!

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 Arch*r and B*lotti, the war years, Fans United and much more. Stand or fall! UTA!

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!

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 new dawn, a new day, a new coach!

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. Graham Potter esquire has decided not to apply! Stand or fall! UTA!

It’s Brighton / P*lace 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 P*lace 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 P*lace 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.

“Fly Like A Trossard Shot, Sting Like A(n Ex-)Bee” (BOXING Day Report)
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!!!

“The Great Ticket-Sharing Scheme Debate & Other Rantings”
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! Oh and there’s a nice rant about refs, especially as pertaining to immune from punishment England players call Harry!!! Stand or fall! UTA!

Then in Part 3 sees Peter and Russ cast a pained glance over the previous night’s defeat at The Amex against Bruno Lage’s time wasting tough-nuts-to-crack, Wolves. Stand or fall! UTA!

“An Offensive Presence”. Leeds Review
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. However, ludicrously a muffled undercurrent of boos could be detected from some utter fools somewhere inside the ground and GP was understandable baffled and irritated. We discuss!!! Also there’s a glance back at the weekend’s other action, loan watch and the Wet Sham preview. Stand or fall! UTA!

“Potter Dubious Pete”. Villa Review
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.

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.

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!

“A Magnificence Of Hair”: Everton Review & Deadline Day
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. So welcome Marc “Cuckoo” Cucurella. We look forward to admiring your skills and your abundant ‘lid’ later this month. A warm welcome also to fellow newbie Abdallah Sima. Good luck at Stoke and see you next season!!! Stand or fall! UTA!

“Accosting The Voice Of Reason, Ken Bates’ Programme Notes & Mr Cup Final The Babysitter!”. With guests Tony Brown & Kirsty Stewart
Late last week we sat down via Zoom to chat with Tony Brown & Kirsty Stewart, who have a keen interest in each other’s clubs as well as their own! Tony talks us through his background as a Chelsea fan and how he came to be a long-standing member of Seagulls Over London, despite his Stamford Bridge allegiance, while Kirsty delves into her Albion backstory from her earlier days in Eastbourne to being a fully paid up paper season ticket brandishing member at the dear ole Goldstone Ground.

“Can You Adam & Yves It?!”. Ep.129: Everton Review
Peter, Russ, Andy Knott and Andy Bravery are in the squad for a look back at Albion’s goalless draw with The Toffees. Yes, ANOTHER home draw. No one has more draws than us this season now. But we had at least some great creation in the garden of Amex with the biblical talent of Messrs Lallana and Bissouma to covet! The boys also talk about potential changes to the squad and the status of those coming through the system. Stand or fall! UTA!

“Ooh-Aah Bob Booker!”
In this special, we had the pleasure of 90 mins in the company of former Brentford and Sheff Utd player and long time Albion assistant manager Bob Booker, discussing his formative years in Watford, his playing career, the Albion years under Micky Adams, Peter Taylor, Steve Coppell, Mark “Pints O’ Whisky” McGhee and Russell “he’s got no hair, but we don’t care” Slade. We recount the Withdean era in all its rain-soaked glory, talk Millennium Stadium glory, Little Leon, damaged Play-Offs trophies, driving instruction and a bizarre near death experience.

“The Caxton Is Back (As Is Biased Reffing)!!” Ep.127 with guest Brett Mendoza
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! VAR didn’t think it Maguired much scrutiny and Albion had yet another poor decision to add to the Like Hell Does It Balance Out In The End trophy cabinet of dreadful decisions. It’s Alex Ferguson mind control! Stand or fall! UTA! Up The Caxton! .....but also down with Dean and VAR and bloody well leave players’ shoulders alone Maguire, you fluky, lumbering, slab-headed oaf! @BrightonRockPod brightonrockpodcast@gmail.com Part of the Sport Social Podcast Network that can be found in all their glory at this rather suitable address: www.sport-social.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.

Preview Special: Battle For Survival - The Run-In & Man Utd
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!

Non-League Special Part 3: Worthing FC, starring Adam Hinsh’
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?! If Hinsh and the lads on this episode are anything to go by we sincerely hope so. Stand or fall! UTA!

“Total Football(?) & The Pascal Pirouette”. The Newcastle Review
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! Tross, Welbs and Maups (yes, Maups!) provided the goal celebration material and Russell, Richard, Andy Knott and Raymond “The Gent” Wright the post match analysis. Stand or fall!

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!).

“Successfully Missing The Trossbar & ¡Felicitaciones a La Pantera!”
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 was that second goal concession v Leicester what did it we reckon ;) No joking aside well done, sir!!!

A fine chap, Ken tells us when and how he got into following the team, his early memories of big crowds and an alarmingly big defeat, a winning ticket, moving house on cup final day and a son’s party trick with the bannisters, right through to seeing the club return to Brighty at Falmer in more recent times and the happy memories he’s been building there.

“Substantial to Substandard - and that’s just the puns!” The Leicester Review
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. Such sweet harmony!

In this week’s Pod Squad to discuss BHAFC’s 0-1 defeat at WBA are Russell Guiver, Peter Marsh, Robin Woolley & Richard Holberton. Another bad day for The Seagulls as Lee Mason demonstrated his refereeing ‘prowess’ with a shambolic farce of a mess to help Brighton on their way to another harmful defeat. The boys did their bit too by adding to their proud frame-of-goal strike rate in missing not one but TWO penalties!

Mark Lawrenson Special
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. In recent years he’s been a regular pundit on BBC TV and radio but today he took time to speak to Russ, Pete, Andy B and Robin. He is Mark Lawrenson! 👏 ⚽️ 🏆 Stand or fall! UTA!

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”.

“Potty Picks in Pottersville”. Arsenal Review
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? Both?

“Speaking With The ‘Enemy’”. The Kevin Day Special Part 1
Time for a special! We once asked comedian and P*lace 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 P*lace 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.

“Groß Profits & Potential Banana Skins”
Klopp had the Blues after his team were held to a draw down by the coast, amidst ‘controversial’ VAR calls, or so the painfully skewed media would have you believe. Here at Brighton Rock Towers we’re more grounded in reality and know the decisions, although marginal in some cases, were the correct calls and they allowed Albion to collect a thoroughly deserved point. Andys Bravery and Knott joined hosts Peter and Russell to explain why and to also look back on the career of the recently departed footballing genius that was Diego Maradona and to look over the FA Cup news, club ticketing plans and some other stuff! We come to you sponsored by Seagulls Over London, who hang around suspiciously on Zoom meetings, in pubs and here: www.seagullsoverlondon.com Look them up for membership enquiries and whatnot.
