out of interest what would you think of Hughton as a possible candidate if Dyche left? Always seemed a class act in front of the camera and has experience in the Prem.

unsure, the sort of injoke with Dyche is that the players need to get match fit and then Dyche fit. We have had players in the past who were ready to come back but Dyche wouldn't bring them in till he was certain. In fairness he knows a bit more about me about player fitness. There's also a...

It's a good question. I know there were loans and the training facilities were a huge upgrade and cost a fair amount. I think the rest has been put aside for increased salaries (e.g. the likes of Drinkwater this season as an addittion) and any other loans. And the rainy day piggy bank. I seem...

thanks, I don't post on here much but there's credit to the NSC for having a forum where other fans can come and post. Sadly this isn't as common as it should be.

Hi all, As a Claret based in Brighton thought I'd chip in. Dyche has been on good terms generally with the board, the issue is whether they trust him with the money. He's made some very good signings and also some bad ones. Plus, well, managers generally have a shelf life at any club. One main...

I sense the rationale behind Trump's attitude towards Covid is that he knows much of his re-election chances pivot on the economy. Unlike 2016 he now has a track record which can be attacked. The support for him on the right was largely the wall, the supreme court picks and the economy. The...

thanks, will have a listen!

Happy to oblige, in my opinion it was a shameful act. The only positives have been the captain's response and the fan forum which has largely been outraged by what has happened.

the rugby comparisson makes no sense. There's a rationale in the ruling as it relates to a specific in game occurence. The player is usually contesting the ball and being moved in the air while you are trying to catch a ball is very dangerous. You can find numerous clips of this. In rugby it...

On a side note to all of this I'd be intrigued to know what she genuinely believes in versus what builds her brand. It's by no means a new concept for someone to play a character knowing it'll appeal more to solidifying a brand or similar. Take Paris Hilton, the original reality TV airhead. In...

I think it's as much about how we recognise slavery and define it in societies which existed BCE. Social structures were very different. Trying to map more modern definitions across needs to accept the nuances.

just to add that the pyramid/slave thing is debated by egyptologists.

One political commentator I heard summed it up quite well, the election was more a referendum on Hilary than it was a choice of her and Trump.

I'm not so sure. One of the reasons Hilary didn't win was this notion that it was 'her turn' and that she was shoehorned into the nominations. That turned a lot of voters away. It also doesn't say much about the Democrats if they are relying on the political cache of an ex-President. They...

reminds me of when a team wants the manager of its rivals to stay on because they are awful. Starmer must be hoping he stays as this has plenty of mileage.

possible, though it doesn't explain other aspects including radiation burns. You'd also wonder why people who were travelling in such a dangerous place from a wilderness perspective would just decide to do something which would put them at risk. It wasn't a casual hike, this was quite a serious...

the thing which he's most concerned about (apparently) are the tax affairs in New York. The first four years are about winning the next four. In the second term it could be very interesting to see how he goes as any party affiliation he has is redundant. He could end up sticking it to the...

I find this sort of thing fascinating. Here's a good podcast episode on it https://www.lastpodcastontheleft.com/episodes/2017/12/30/episode-152-the-dylatov-pass-incident

Generally speaking Presidents tend to win the second term as long as the economy is doing ok, and though this situation might have offered itself as an open goal the US economy is only now starting to see the effects of the massive unemployment coming through. In a sense I think Trump would be...

If the democrats were a more organised or capable party I'd say that they were happy to lose this one knowing that a further 4 years might do the Republicans more harm than good with Trump in charge. The more recent developments makes the US Presidency a job which they might be happy to not be...
