    [Albion] The next Albion striker... AKA "The missing link"

    Adam Armstrong must be worth a look. Prolific goalscorer, right age, been improving year-on-year, and looks like he would work well alongside Welbeck.

    [Misc] Luzzing stuff back over your garden fence.

    Well of course you did - we all know Stat Bro Mansion is a haven of sweetness and light. Hypothetically, I'm guessing it's the miserable tosspot hypothetical neighbour on the other side of the kid's fence?

    [Football] Marcus Rashford abuse on social media.

    This. It's one thing saying they don't think someone's played as well as they would expect them to for their SuperLeague team. That's just being a Man Utd fan. It a whole different ballpark posting monkey pictures and deciding it's to do with the player's skin colour (conveniently ignoring...

    [Misc] Luzzing stuff back over your garden fence.

    Keep chucking them back. 1. It's good for the kid to be outside 2. It'll make you feel good about yourself (deep down, promise...) 3. You never know when you'll need a little goodwill in the opposite direction. 4. It costs you nothing As they say, pass it on.....

    [Cricket] The bad old days of Sussex cricket

    Finishing bottom of the County Championship after the mass exodus of winter 1996/7 was the lowest point I’ve seen - bringing in journeymen and youngsters to fill the void. BUT..... it was that mess that led to the Pigott/Marler revolution, recruitment of Chris Adams, Mark Robinson, Richard...

    [Albion] March and Lamptey

    What's been incredible is not only how good they were for the first half of the season, but how well we adapted to life without them. I remember Gross playing as a wingback under Hughton (Newcastle game?), looking hopelessly out of position - and a sign that every wheel had fallen off the...

    [Football] Oh Tomer.........

    I think we need to be really careful here. The OP actually hit the nail on the head - Kayal is Israeli too and has played 46 games for the International side. As I understand it, they've been friends since childhood, despite being the other side of the religious divide. Tomer being proud to...

    [Albion] Have Albion progressed this season?

    It’s a no-brainer for me - Graham has taken us beyond where Chris could have got us to, for the simple reason that every single player under him has improved significantly. Even Maupay (who’s finishing has clearly been a long way off what you’d hope for from a frontline striker) has become a...

    [Albion] Potter's a top coach isn't he?

    I think he's got selections wrong (witness Burn asked to cope with Leicester down the flanks) - and the amount of chopping & changing which left the team unsettled, but I agree with the OP on his coaching abilities. Under Potter, the whole squad seem to have developed their games, and we've...

    [Albion] Now for the elephant in the room

    Whilst I agree with the synopsis, truth is that we've not been short of chances against any of those sides (Burnley, Palace, Sheff Utd, WBA etc) - we just haven't had the clinicality to take them. I'm hopeful that with the team gelling so much better, and building in confidence up front and in...

    [Albion] Dan Ashworth - Is he the problem?

    Personally I don’t have a problem with Ashworth at all. Since he’s come in, the general quality of our signings has significantly increased and his contacts have helped us sign players such as Lamptey, Lallana and Welbeck. I felt at the start of the season, and still do, that we finally had...

    [Misc] Why did the Lesbian cross the road!

    Was it because the pavement discontinued on that side, and she didn't want to walk in the mud?

    [Politics] Nationalisation of UK Railways in all but name.

    All of the franchises are effectively on life-support right now - the DfT is covering their running costs and not much more. Government will seize the opportunity to change the whole system once the pandemic's over, but I would be very surprised if this is the end of private sector involvement.

    Well said that man. Mind you, the correct answer to the OP's question is the final whistle on a hard-fought win.

    [Albion] Your worse awayday with the Albion..

    Palace 5-0, doesn't get worse (although I still lord it over my dad and brother as I managed to get out ahead of the lock-in). For sheer misery, I remember us losing heavily to Colchester on a weekday night in League 3 in the dark old days, early on in the season (1997ish?). It all became...
