    [Politics] Nike's new advert

    It's a weird one for me. Kapernick's stance is an honest and brave one, sticking his head above the parapet to make an important point in an incredibly divisive way, was always going to be a high stakes gamble. I like him and agree with the point he was making - it's not disrespectful to the US...

    [Albion] ***Player Ratings vs Fulham***

    Ryan - 6.5. Didn't have much chance with the first, made good saves during the second goal and late on v Sessegnon. Montoya - 7. Looks class. Quick, good touch, keeps things simple. Not as flair as El Capitan but a clear successor. Dunk - 5. Was bullied for 90 minutes by Mitrovic, his poorest...

    [Other Sport] Who would your four Europe Ryder Cup picks be?

    Poulter (because he's Ian Poulter), Casey, Fitzpatrick (best form of the "best of the rest"). Then it's a toss up for me between Stenson and Pieters - Stenson for his pedigree and partnership with Rose, but Pieters and McIlroy have also dovetailed well as a pair previously. Sergio has been...

    If he's not left by then, would Towell start as #10? Button Bernardo Barclay White Suttner Bissouma Kayal Ali J. Towell Gyokeres Locadia Subs: Steele, Bong, Balogun, Normann, March, Gross, Connolly. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

    [Cricket] (Dickheads in) club cricket.

    My favourite - after our temperamental opening bowler sent down four balls in a row that beat the flailing outside edge, to his...err...consternation...second slip chirps "keep going buddy, try one with a bell in it." Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

    [Albion] Brighton and Hove Albion U-23s: A 2018-19 Preview

    Does Maguire-Drew count as U23 still, even though he's been loaned out? Or is he technically part of the 1st team squad now?

    [Albion] The Benchwarmer Exodus

    As the window is closing early this year, I'd put money on there being a number of 'loan with an option to buy' deals done after that window closes. TH has had interest from the championship and la liga, so I can see him being loaned back to Spain as soon as Andone & Locadia are fit in a couple...

    [Albion] Dan Burn - New Centre Back

    Perhaps, in BG's own words, "to complement Bissouma and push Stephens and Propper"? Because we need someone to complement and push our midfielders, but not our defenders. :ffsparr:

    [Albion] Dan Burn - New Centre Back

    Utterly arrogant and ignorant rubbish. PROOF: I am better than Messi & Ronaldo combined. It's my individual opinion. But according to you, that is not definitively wrong. If that's the world you live in, I suppose that answers my second question. I'll repeat my first question, since it's...

    [Albion] Dan Burn - New Centre Back

    In literally every position, other than GK, which is understandably a genuine backup situation. Suttner, Bong & Bernardo. Bruno & Schelotto. Stephens, Propper, Kayal, Gross & Bissouma. Knockaert, Jahanbahksh, Izquierdo & March. Murray, Locadia, Andone & Hemed. All of these are either of equal...

    [Football] The "Where will Zaha go?" Summer 2018 thread

    The thing with Zaha is he's one of those players that is probably worth more to his club than a buyer would be willing to pay - it would be PR suicide for Parish to let him go, regardless of the fee, this close to the deadline. £60/70m is a lot of money for a buyer to spend on an admittedly very...

    [Football] Transfer thread - other clubs

    Bournemouth, Cardiff, Palace, Burnley, Everton and Saints have all been a bit quiet so far, leaving it fairly late in the window to get new faces in. Huddersfield and Watford have brought in more in terms of numbers, but can't say I'm convinced of their quality (on paper at least)? Us...

    I think he's been released? No sign of him on the club website and on TransferMarkt (admittedly not the most reliable source) he's showing as without club...

    [Football] £14m player signng on fee

    Is it though, in America? The amounts being paid are publicised annually by the MLS, for example, since they technically own the contract. I'm sure it's the same in the NBA/NFL? Absolutely this. I don't particularly care if Messi earns £25m a year or whatever - it's no different in my book...

    [Football] Premier League club has striking off order from Registrar of Companies. Who could it be?

    I wouldn't hold your breath. If I were a betting man, there will be little of interest, thus suggesting that they've either successfully hidden whatever's worth hiding, or there wasn't actually anything untoward going on in the first place. It'll probably just be purest rank arrogance and...

    [Football] Premier League club has striking off order from Registrar of Companies. Who could it be?

    I think we all know what's going to happen here, ultimately. Because it's Palace. They wriggle their way out of trouble by any means necessary, and never face any real consequences - whether that's going into administration and screwing over creditors, lying about poogate knowing full well one...
