    [Albion] Danny Welbeck has now played more games for us than any other club

    He is hugely underrated and has been a fantastic signing for us. Constantly written off as past it but still shows his quality and pops up with moments of brilliance.

    [Albion] Why has RDZ not signed a new contract yet?

    I imagine he just wants to make any potential move as easy as possible, a larger buy out clause might deter clubs from making an approach, particularly when clubs are being more cautious at the moment. I think we need to be realistic, everything points to him going right to the top if we can...

    [Football] Chrystal Palace for sale. £750 million valuation apparently:

    I believe the cost of construction has gone up a huge amount over the last few years. Our near neighbour got planning permission for a two story side extention and small single story rear extension before covid, it was due to cost somewhere in the region of 90k its now almost complete and is...

    [Albion] Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall **Singed for Chelsea 02/07/2024**

    Would be a great signing and the source seems credible

    [Albion] When will we get relegated?

    It's naive to think we won't be relegated at some point but I think our model would put us in a great position to come straight back up then maybe yo-yo between the leagues for while. We'd have talent in our academy and on the periphery of the first team that barely register with the fans who...

    [Football] Former league clubs you would like to see back in the league.

    I'd quite like to see Yeovil back in the league. They sit in a bit of a footballing desert when they dropped out it left no league teams in the area for many miles.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - Trump v Harris

    It's sad that so much of the American public feels so disillusioned with their political system that they rally behind a character like Trump, it feels more like political movement than a presidential campaign. Trump comes across as an outsider and political rogue which seems to have inspired...

    [Albion] Stadium Observations

    I dont really buy the acoustic argument to the atmosphere debate. I appreciate the sound doesn't travel particularly well but if the stadium as a whole was noisier you wouldn't be concerned about where it was coming from. We've shown on number of occasions that the Amex can create an incredible...

    [Football] Agreeing with Simon Jordan 😬

    I quite like Jordan but I think these comments come from a degree of bitterness over his tenure at Palace, he lost something like 50 million quid after a takeover that happened 25 years ago. His legacy was liquidation, Palace were very fortunate their fate wasn't relegation and lower league...

    [Albion] Positives from Tonight (Wolves)

    Showed again we can grind out a point against a form team, 2nd best for most of it but still could have nicked a win.

    [Albion] Neal Maupay

    Always liked Maupay did pretty well for us in a Potter team that often needed 20 chances to score one or zero goals. His 1 in 4 scoring record wasn't terrible given the way we set up in games.

    [Albion] Monday night football

    I think a lot of our ST holders travel a long distance from Sussex, not feasible for many to get home at 1am or later on a school night.

    [Help] Gardeners Question Time.

    Did our mulching before this cold snap, used 1000 litres which was absolutely backbreaking

    [Albion] Paul Barber on The Sports Entrepreneur podcast

    I don't doubt he's ambitious but he is the 2nd highest paid CEO in the Premier league and probably pocketed in excess of 20 million during his time with us, I suspect it would take a very attractive project to turn his head. Bloom has helped him become incredibly wealthy so I don't think money...

    [Albion] Potter- what’s he up to?

    Hate to say it but Palace are probably a good coach and a couple of players away from being an upper mid table team. They are however a couple of injuries/transfer sales away from a likely relegation fight this year. If other teams below them pick up they're in real trouble IMO I think their...

    [Finance] When was the last cheque that you wrote?

    I'll be 41 years old in May and I've never written a cheque. I think I had a cheque book in about 2004 but never wrote one.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    We do it through a company, salary sacrifice scheme so not sure. I know the lease deals are quite expensive though. A little tip though, if you enquire via BMW they will lend you a car for a week free or charge, great way to see how you'd get on with one. We just charged it at the supermarket...

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    We're doing Burnley in April so will be interested to see if we can make it on a single charge (287 miles)

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    We use octopus too, once you've gone through initial faff it's seamless! 80% charge get's me to Brighton and back easily (200 miles) on the rare occasion we need to charge the service station chargers normally take about the same amount of time it takes us to have a coffee and use the loos.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    We've got a skoda which heats up very quickly but the App is a bit rubbish. The car is incredible and you don't really feel like you're driving an electric car apart from how quiet it is. In terms of trim and cabin space it feels like a regular car. Best thing we ever did going electric, I...
