    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    I thought he looked lively, caused the opposition trouble and put himself in good positions, but (as we know) seems to be lacking the confidence to strike instinctively when the chance falls. A few times he got into good positions but his team mates failed to pass. And on a couple of other...

    [Albion] Premier League 19-20/2/22

    Yeah, A team owned by a regime, that murdered a journalist, cuts people's heads off and systematically jails and tortures womens rights activists. Vs a team that picked a guy that was nasty to a cat. Tough choice

    [News] Prince Andrew interviewed about allegations

    'culture' is not static. It changes. Always has, always will. Whatever the romantic dreams of the 'leather on willow and jam for tea' brigade. Collectively we make it. Collectively we change it. We don't have a monarchy because it is woven into an unchangeable 'culture'. We have it because...

    Much the same. Especially post-edit.

    [Politics] Jacinda Arden

    I like Ardern and admire her leadership style. World leading in my opinion. As it happens, I also admire Nicola Sturgeon and I am comfortable in my masculinity. It is possible these things are all connected in some way.

    [Albion] Dan Burn to Saudi FC

    As I think you already know, the problem here lies elsewhere and not with your grasp of English!

    [Albion] Premier League 12-13/2/22

    Personally I'd rather no 'lines' to be used and have a time limit on VAR decisions of a few seconds. That would screen out the worst decisions (the ones that really matter) while avoiding those long pauses when you don't know whether ot not to celebrate (the main reason VAR is so sh*t) I admit...

    [Albion] Premier League 12-13/2/22

    If you are 'not convinced' (either way) then it's not a clear and obvious error So let it stand.

    [Albion] Premier League 12-13/2/22

    VAR deseprately trying to find a reason to chalk off the Villa goal Oh, and they've found it F*cks sake Millimetres either way. Never 'clear and obvious' They REALLY want Newcastle to stay up don't they

    [Football] Match of the day tonight

    Indeed. Let Ski Sunday be a lesson to us all Used to be a gentle winters evening diversion, watching a series of tightly clad continentals plummiting down vertiginous slopes, with the occasional entertaining crash ('oh look they are showing someone in 27th place, this shoud be good') to a...

    [Misc] Do you or anybody you know want a Swansman in your house for 3 months?

    Unjustified claims of antisemitism, used as a weapon against someone you happen to disagree with/dislike, undermines the important fight against genuine anti-semitism. Which makes this comment pretty disgusting in my view. Unless you are prepared to back it up with evidence?

    [News] Pa Sorie - who does deserve a mention.

    I've met a few WW2 veterans in West Africa. They've been thoroughly shat on, financially, especially post independence, and they resent it. But their plight is not a vote winner here and they haven't had a celebrity champion (a la Lumley) and so have been ignored by successive governments...

    [Misc] Witness to Car v Motorcycle Accident - Advice Needed

    Would echo some of the others on here and say do what needs to be done. Provide the statement. Ensure whatever you sign reflects exactly, and only what you are sure about seeing. If you aren't sure say you aren't sure. I'd imagine the side that has contacted you has seen your original statement...

    [Albion] Dan Burn to Saudi FC

    I guarantee he's earned more in the last few years than most of us will in a lifetime and he doesn't need to go to Newcastle to ensure he contiues to earn very good money for a while yet. But to be clear - what I am questioning is those who say 'we'd all do it for the money'. Not Dan Burn's...

    [Albion] Dan Burn to Saudi FC

    Unless he's been building up gambling debts or something, he was already in receipt of 'life changing money and financial security'. I've turned down opportunities to earn more plenty of times in my career because I didn't want to work for that employer, for a variety of reasons. I have always...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    I wasn't referring to being 'suitable to run the show' as that would raise muliple questions, and likely to be dependent on personal opinion and polittics. But I will assume you simply aren't very good at articulating your thoughts and answer what I think you are asking - who I think doesn't...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    The belief that 'all politicians have their noses in the trough' simply reflects that person holding that belief cannot envisage anyone doing something for altruistic reasons. In other words, an assumption that everyone is as selfish and self-interested as they are.

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    I don't think anyone doubted they were going to splash the cash to try and avoid relegation. But as we've seen with other clubs, spending a large amount is not a guarantee of instant success, so my fingers remain firmly crossed...

    [Albion] Dan Burn to Saudi FC

    Yes. For me, yes. Obviously that's entirely hypothetical and if I'd spent my life doing what's required to be a professional footballer, rather than what I've actually done, I'd have a completely different set of life experiences, expectations and knowledge of the world, so who actually...
