The Albion Roar - 2nd September 2026 with guests Brian Owen and Andy Bass

A more upbeat week on Planet Albion - eight goals, several scorers, excellent performances and a rise in confidence ahead of the weekend. Just remind the TV pundits of this, the radar we are flying under seems to have been smashed to bits.

Justin rejoins Ady & Al to go over the Leeds game, while Mark - for those of you just jetting in from Mars, is putting on a play - A PLAY, NOT A DOCUMENTARY – called 'Stand or Fall' at the Theatre Royal in Brighton, so has come on to tell us all about it.

A look back at the Tromsø and Chelsea matches, plus a look at a manic last few days of the transfer window, which kept Brian Own very busy indeed.

On The Roar this week Ady is joined by Jason Thackeray & Tom Hylands for a look back at Nordic adventures, Trashing Villa,  adding some Promise to our squad & pleanty more besides

Back for our 20th consecutive season (count them), Vicki, Phil, Andy and Marcus join Ady and Al to discuss what's happened over the summer (we could talk about the World Cup, but we can't afford the lawyers), and our hare-brained predictions for 2026/27.

UNEDITED. So our grizzling will be heard!

A defeat by Manchester United greeted with celebrations as the Albion return to Europe. Plus a look ahead to the Women's FA Cup Final, and a temporal faux pas, as Ady, Al and Nick all look forward to next season with Solly March. Guess what happened an hour after recording...

A defeat at Leeds, labelled 'Lucky' by Daniel Farke, after a dominant display, and the  Players' Awards 2026 are up for discussion this week.

Aby Shepherd of the Shegulls OSC, and Jason Thackeray join Ady and Al to discuss a comfortable 3-0 home win for the men's team over Wolves, and a manic 3-2 FA Cup semi-final victory for the Shegulls over Liverpool.

An unwarranted - and rare - defeat in Newcastle, where the Toon's goals weren't the barndoors the Albion needed them to be. Plus we get a further lowdown on the news of the Albion's new women's stadium plans.
