Albion Roar

Ahead of the FA Cup tie against Sheffield United, former Albion assistant manager Bob Booker joins Ady & Al for a natter on all things Brighton. As did former Southern FM presenter Nicky Keig-Shevlin (not that Ady could pronounce her name - obvs). Plus some exemplary bon mots from Justin. Shirt of the Week was upside down.

With Reading fans invading the pitch, and generally cheesed off with their club's owner, we talk to Neill Rees of 'Sell Before We Dai' about the situation there. Plus, the effervescent Jo Hunter, founder of Piglet's Pantry reveals all about her quest for world domination.

A Bumper Review of 2023 - a year like no other for Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Guardian's (and Selhurst Park's) very own Ed Aarons joins Ady and Al to discuss the Albion's amazing achievement in Europe, while reflecting on the Arsenal game and looking ahead to the 'Because-Of-Five-Days-Before-Boxing-Day' match against Palace.

Ahead of the Marseille match, France football expert Jeremy Smith, returns to run the rule over Albion's first European adventure. Plus we look back at the Brentford and Burnley matches, and we pause to consider the narrative on criticising referees. Shirt of the week needs a little extra help...

Success in Athens, confusion in west London, and all points in between.

Plenty of talking points to get through as Brighton beat Forest in a mad, tempestuous game. Nick and Vick provide the analysis.

The Roar heads back Stateside to talk to three US-based Albion fans about their support for the club, and how the Seagulls are perceived in America.

Part football show / part travelogue this week as Ady and Andy re-live their trip to Amsterdam, and all the city can offer - including three Europa League points for the Albion. Plus we discuss the Sheffield United match, definitely after the Lord Mayor's show...

Ahead of our clash in Amsterdam, Ady and Al had a natter with former Albion midfielder and Dutch TV presenter Hans Kraay, as well as with Tom Hylands, to discuss Everton - and VAR.

Legendary Brighton comic Stephen Grant and Brighton Bard, Jonathan Bradshaw join Ady & Al to discuss the Ajax and Fulham games, while looking ahead to our trip to Amsterdam.

On the eve of playing Ajax Amsterdam at home for the first time, editor of Ajax Life, Sander Zeldenrijk joins Ady & Al, while Andy mulls over the performance against Manchester City. And we pay tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton. Shirt of the Week caught Al and Andy out...

We pay our tribute to Gerry Ryan. Meanwhile, Kieran has a new book out, and we have a fabulous giveaway competition! And we have THREE (count them) Shirts of the Week, plus, well, shitloads more...

Rob's first time on the show coincided with two 2-2 draws, sloppy giveaway goals, plenty of resilience from the Albion, and an opportunity to draw (like the Albion) breath.

A bonus for you all - gremlins in Al's connection meant most of the show was just Ady and Jeremy, as they nattered about defeats to Chelsea and Villa.

Two sides of the Albion coin up for discussion; an Albion defeat as we make our European debut (including a chat about how the ref was so bad, he made VAR look good), followed by a hard-earned victory over AFCB.

Ahead of Brighton first match in Europe against AEK Athens, we are joined by much travelled punk poet Attila The Stockbroker, and his kitchen-fitter Sotiris Kapnias, who also happens to be an AEK Athens fan.

Former Spurs, Watford, Albion and Northern Ireland international, Gerry Armstrong, joins Ady & Al for an hour's natter covering his career as gaelic footballer (short), hurling player (also short), footballer (a bit longer), and coach (somewhere in between). Also as an author and now, a whiskey producer.

Legendary voiceover man Dave Beckett, and Seagulls Travel boss Darren Gallis joined Ady & Al to talk over the Newcastle game, a teenage hat-trick, while working out the perils of getting Albion fans to Marseille, Athens and Amsterdam.

With the signing of Ansu Fati from Barcelona on a season's long loan, premier Spanish football journalist Guillem Balagué spoke with Ady about this surprise move.
