    Ah balls. Another nail.in our coffin. We all know he will have an absolute blinder.

    [Politics] The official Budget thread - kick off 12.30pm

    Yup Crikey, if you think (centrist, pro-business) Reeves is a 'loony' wait until you find out about the Shadow Deputy Leader

    [Football] Is there a right answer to this?!

    Or which Kane? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Kane (Says he played in Chelsea youth system, so presumably may have played 'in same team' as virtually every PL player ever) I know nothing about football and footballers btw - but there's usually some kind of 'trick' with these questions...

    [Football] Gary Lineker to step back from presenting MOTD

    As you say, particularly unfortunate when you dig a bit into how and why the ECHR was created Quotes from the linked article: "The European Convention on Human Rights came into effect on 3 September 1953. In the early 1940s, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill raised the idea of a...

    [Albion] Perv(is) world class

    MoM for me was Caicedo. Must have been frustrating for him to have worked so hard, played so well, and not win due to mistakes by others. But Pervis was, indeed, fantastic. Superb player, and getting better all the time.

    [Other Sport] Fury vs Usyk

    It's really even worse than this. It's such a complete nonsense of a 'sport' and I am starting to resent it taking up tv and radio time (most coverage being who said what nasty thing about who) that could be better used covering one of the very many real sports going on out there that we rarely...

    [Albion] Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Balls bugger bollox. It was quite a good shot though. We've not really deserved to win based on second half. But should really have had it sewn up first half. Fingers crossed for a winner (to us)

    [Albion] Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Which was why it was so satisfying to have got them relatively quiet. The main noise they were making just before the equaliser was booing their own team! Now they are all excited again and gearing up to sign some more homphobic chants.

    There is no way, absolutely no way, we should lose this. Please don't lose this.

    [Football] Gary Lineker to step back from presenting MOTD

    Bit weird as about the only people i have heard giving a shit is Tory MPs. So assume pressure has been applied. Opens a massive can of worms. Stand by for ENDLESS 'storms in teacups' over bbc personalities that have voiced an opinion of some kind. Which is probably the point,

    [Football] Fan behaviour / Bad weekend for Football

    This is true. Given how 'tribal' football is, and how central that element is to the experience, its quite surprising there aren't more problems, with the vast majority of people staying on the right side of the line. Partly, as someone has said, because of the (mainly very effective) efforts...

    [Albion] We need a flock of (inflatable) seagulls ready to greet the invasion of (inflatable) haddock

    T To be fair, that was actually on my mind. Even if you swerve tax dodging Amazon, you are still likely to be buying something deeply usustainable made in human-rights-abusing China. We can't help being Brighton.

    [Misc] Clarkson what do you think of him?

    Haven't read the whole thread. But it's a complex and nuanced question. Lots to balance. His onscreen vs off screen persona. His contribution to downplaying climate change vs his positive impact on perceptions and understanding of the UK farming industry. His humour vs his boorishness. I have...

    [Football] Kieran Trippier on shithousery - "ITS GOOD!"

    Trippier is owned by Saudi Arabia. I'd imagine any sense of ethics and 'fair play' he may have held got left behind a LONG time ago.

    [Albion] Brentford ST holders can't renew if they miss too many games

    I am rubbish at this sort of thing, and have struggled with the whole 'passing on tickets' system. But even I have been able to list tickets for resale in a matter of seconds. So if their system is as easy to use as Albion's then this seems reasonable.

    I know. I try not to get sucked into these debates, but don't always succeed. I really am out now.
