Brighton Rock Podcast

In the pod squad this week were Russ, Pete, Alan and our latest debutant Lincoln Pigman, a self-described Johnny come lately who has timed his choosing of a football club with uncanny aplomb!

The quartet discuss the felling of confirmed champs Liverpool in style on Monday night, thanks in (final) part due to one half of a cousin combo of subs: Jack Hinshelwood. The other half of that combo was (even) young(er) Harry Howell from Albion’s academy. What a time to make your debut in the stripes!

Also under the spotlight was the rest of the PL action, the play offs, P*lace’s Europa ‘complication’, Albion transfer news (Boscagli on his way to us!!!), Sky Sports’ ever increasing saturation coverage of the PL and a look ahead to Albion’s final game of the season at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the club seek the point or more needed to fulfil their part in a four-pronged set of required outcomes to get them that second bite at European football for next season.

Stand or fall! UTA! And come on Villa, Forest and then next week, er, Chelsea *cringe

In the pod squad this week: Russ, Pete, Al and

Andy K, to revel in another winning visit to Molineux.

Also under discussion are Greek ‘gangsters’, owner-encroachment, booing legends, elbowing opponents, the player awards, a new set piece coach needed, the EFL playoffs so far and the chance to beat two different current champions in one season!

Poor Pawson, penalty chaos, a (probably deserved) 1-1 score line, Minteh centre stage and a JPVH / Dunky double-chest down to the keeps!!!

Yes it was an eventful afternoon down Falmer Way. Albion avoided conceding 2+ goals which was a pleasant novelty but saw themselves slip to 10th in the table, an unwanted side effect to the medicine Dr Brighton administered to Brentford a couple of weeks ago, with The Bees now buzzing towards that coveted Europa Conference spot.

The run in is into its tense and tight final stages. Come on Albion!

Stand or fall! UTA! Pawson, you are a disgrace!

Russ, Andy Knott and The Gent, analysing how Albion managed to get back to winning ways, courtesy of better performances from the likes of Lewis, a welcome and very long-awaited first start in aeons for Solly, some good substitutions at (just!) the right time and three goals that included two absolute thunderbastards from messrs Yasin and Carlos.

Stand or fall!   UTA!  Thunderbastards are go!

Pete and Russ, plus Laurence, Ed, The Rebel Yell boys and some random fans featured, as the events on the final day of The National League South season unfolded. The Rebels needed a win plus three other results to go their way, while Enfield MIGHT have needed a point depending on whether their relegation rivals St Albans managed to get a win against one of Worthing’s promotion rivals Truro City.

Stand or fall! UTA! UTR!

Russ, Pete, Andy Bass, Chris and David T amongst those contributing as we covered a double bill of Worthing fixtures over the Easter bank holiday weekend from their visit to Eastbourne on the Friday and at home to Dorking on the Monday. Beers were had, draws were obtained and the chat was, as always, plentiful !

Stand or fall! UTA! UTR!

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.

Stand or fall…and it’s really the latter at the moment… UTA!

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!  Doo doo doo, football in a sh1th*le!!!

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.

Stand or fall!   UTA!  Get your hazmat suits ready!
