    [Politics] The Mail Woke List…..

    The Daily Mail mail creating lists of 'woke' people is pure (and unsubtle) propaganda. No different from the US government's cold war McCarthyism, the stories currently being told to the Russian people by Putin, to the Indian people by Modi and to the Chinese people by the communist party...

    [News] Huw Edwards

    As a rule I am uncomfortable with somebody's reputation getting trashed via unproven (so far) allegations and the actions of a twitter mob. There are however, exceptions to every rule. In this case, the exception being based on it happening to someone that has led countless twitter mobs himself...

    [Albion] Paul Barber to Saudi?

    Yup. Effectively runnig a slave economy. Whilst also suppressing women, opposing action on climate change (which might reduce their oil sales) and killing people that publicly disagree with them. Wherever they end up, it will be on the back of decades of blood, oppression and dirty oil. Most...

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    Good for them. Haven't bothered to read the whole thread. Or any of it to be frank. But assume I am broadly aligned with sensible opinion?

    [Albion] Levi Colwill

    I'd agree. Very unlikely we will get him, but not impossible. I suspect Chelsea will keep him. But they DO need to sell quite a few players and the best profits 'on the books' will come from young players that didn't cost them anything (maybe - i'm not an accountant, so also maybe not). They...

    [Albion] I don’t want to vote for ONE Player of the Season

    Its simply impossible. I can't bring myself to vote for any one player because in doing so I exclude others. I'm out.

    [Albion] So Tomorrow If Those Scousers Boo the National Anthem........

    I mean...in principle he has every right...certainly. In principle he should have been left alone to express his views as he sees fit. Just as, in principle, I have every right to turn up at Twickenham for an England International sporting a Republican 'citizen not subject' t-shirt and proceed...

    [Albion] Premier League 6-8/5/23

    There I was mulling over whether to get involved in defence of the scousers booing the anthem (what were they even thinking of, playing it at Anfield in the first place??)...and then got completely distracted by the shot of them waiting to take the free kick and finding myself thinking exactly this!

    [Albion] Onto Everton then

    Everton's best chance of a win is to park the bus and play on the break. Everton's best chance of a draw is to park the bus and play on the break. Dyche's ONLY style of play is to park the bus and play on the break. I have no idea how they will play it on Monday. It's really unpredictable.

    [Football] Most dislikable player or manager* currently in football? – THE VOTE

    Richarlison you say? 'Richarlison – or the Pigeon, as fans know him, thanks to his avian-style celebrations – is by far the most progressive member of Brazil’s seleção. In recent years, as his homeland fell under the control of Bolsonaro’s far-right administration, Richarlison has repeatedly...

    [Football] Most dislikable individual in modern football? Nominees here

    Glad it's been pointed out that Richarlison is a different person off the field than on it. The game of football is entertainment and he plays a role. But he's actually a very good guy. Assuming he still counts, being active in the game, I'd go John Terry. Grealish acted like a prick in...

    [Albion] Premier League 29/4 - 2/5/23

    I like Klopp. And in general we can't really complain about his displays of emotion whilst lauding de Zerbi. But that was very, VERY twattish

    [Football] I hope Palace finish above Chelsea.

    Yeah! Pathetic! MaKe THe AlBioN GreAt aGaiN. Whoop! Palace? It's just a football rivalry. Bit of fun. But Chelsea? Chelsea are the poster-team for the shittiest style of uber-capitalist ownership of OUR game. Chelsea decided to flex their financial.muscle at our expense and didn't give a...

    [Albion] Chelsea Fire Sale - who could we go for?

    Why? I believe that the wage structure (which I am sure is in constant evolution rather than being 're-thought') is integral to our successful model. We need to be a team that is more than the sum of its parts. And we need to avoid greedy dick heads. Hope we stick with that. I don't want to end...

    [Football] VAR April 2023 Poll - Fit for Purpose?

    I think a more interesting set of options would be: VAR - keep as is (or carry on with minor tweaks)? VAR - keep but with major changes (ie - 'it's sh*t now but can be made to be good if used well')? VAR - just get rid? I'd go with the third option, because, in my opinion, it was never fit...
