Brighton Rock Podcast

Russ and pod sponsor Raymond ‘The Gent’ Wright were joined for this extra episode by author and journalist Phil Dennett, who has added to his past publications on Albion strikers Tommy Cook and Charlie Webb, with a new book called Goal Kings of Brighton & Hove Albion, a work listing the top strikers throughout Albion’s history, working on a goals per game ratio basis.

Phil, who amongst other things used to work for The Argus, also describes how and when he fell in love with The Albion and specifically why!, plus he tells us his favourite moments and players and gives his thoughts on the current team.

Stand or fall!   UTA!

Russ welcomed Johnny back on the pod to give his views on Albion’s recent successes, RDZ, Albion’s senior and youth players’ involvements in the recent internationals, preps for the Europa campaign in which he’ll be on commentary duties with BBC Sussex and to look ahead to the weekend’s visit to Old Trafford, when Albion aim for a 4th straight league win over The Red Devils.

Stand or fall!   UTA! Pray for Warren!

Russ and Pete were joined by Graham Phillips to further reflect on the Newcastle game (and talk De Zerbi Ball), to discuss this seasons new rule adjustments & interpretations, mull over the releasing of certain VAR audio clips to the public, to talk reffing (and ref assessing) in general and to have another rant about Burnley fans, post-MeToo Spanish Neanderthal administrators and Jordan Henderson’s pitiful attempts as reasoning his way out of the moral redundancy quicksand.

We toyed with Loose Lips Sink Burning Ships as our title but catchy though it was, it didn’t quite scan!

Stand or fall!   UTA! Salvage your last grain of dignity and resign for goodness sake, Rubiales, you idiotic dinosaur!!!

All the matchday thoughts and reactions (the two grandads refers to Milner and Lallana, poor things!!!) as Albion cruised to a very convincing win over Saudi FC.

Starring Alan, The Gent, Andy Bravery, Clive Steed and making their debuts Clive’s son Harvey and Alan’s old mate Steve.

Stand or fall!  UTA!  Bad luck, Beheady Howe

Down The Caxton for the live draw for Albion’s history-making first European adventure and confirmation of the stunningly eye-catching signing of World star in the making Ansu Fati on loan. What’s not to like!?! On audio were some of the usual subjects plus a returning Simon “Levo” Levinson and debutante John Palfrey.

Stand or fall!   UTA! Europe here we come!!!

Pre, during and post-match opinion from a pod squad comprising Dogma’s Parker and Rich, John ‘Bottle Top’ Orchard, Sheebo, Tony Brown, Kirsty Stewart, Alan and your intrepid host, Russell Guiver

The Dogma boys broke the news of a new brew, Hammers broke their Albion hoodoo, The Spanish Federation boss continued to break appropriate boundaries and Russ announced this is all you’re getting in terms of match reaction as his internet has continued to be broken. It’s broken Britain, folks!!!

Stand or fall!   UTA! Virgin Media are a disgrace!!!

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.

Stand or fall!   UTA! Unlucky Lionesses! 👏

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! 🤡

Stand or fall!   UTA! Bugger Off Boehl Bag!!!

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!

Stand or fall!   UTA! Chelsea: Albion’s cash cows since 2022 👍😂
