    [News] Pandora Papers: Secret wealth and dealings of world leaders exposed

    Don't think that's quite true (apart from maybe the bit about 'nothing that is going to change anything') https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0010qq3/panorama-pandora-papers-secrets-of-world-leaders-exposed The meta-story here is that those that make the rules (and more to come on those...

    [Albion] Adam Lallana

    Lallana and Bissouma both have superb footballing brains. Bissouma reads the game, sees what's coming and steps in, Lallana is one step ahead of the game and makes things happen. Having them play together is like having a supercomputer running our midfield.

    [Albion] Wellbeck's replacement from within

    Sarmiento looks like a real future talent but probably needs to be eased in carefully. Tolaj looks like the more 'premier league ready' option based on what I've seen. He has plenty of skills and I don't see him being too perturbed by the speed and physicality side of things in the PL proper. I...

    [Albion] "Why did you let it bounce?"

    BBS won't let me read any more posts and my own personal values won't let me open a daily mail webpage So I'm not getting much out of this thread at the moment. But is pretty clear from previous photos and videos, as well as Potter's understated comments, that Palace need to sort out their...

    [Albion] Joel Veltman signs from Ajax in a 3-year deal

    Think it's raised expectations. To start with he arrived as a £900,000 back up CB with a reputation for making mistakes in the Dutch league. Then we discover he's actually a slick, reliable, Roll's Royce of a player, with a combination of skills and experience that allows him to adapt quickly...

    [Albion] Women"s FA Cup Quarter-Final Brighton V Charlton

    Why the F*ck would you put a camera in a position with a restricted view?

    [Football] Anyone else feeling confident?

    I might be feeling it (I'm not). But if I was I wouldn't be SAYING it. Madness.

    [Albion] Is this true,re Bissouma

    Well, so much for my clever theory. I am hoping that the intern at Fichajes is unaware of this fact, and I still make it into 'print'

    [Albion] Is this true,re Bissouma

    If he wants to go, and doesn't want to sign a contract then maybe. I could see it happening at that price with the proviso that there is an agreement that he gets loaned back to us for the second part of the season. But that story is just a re-hash of another story whch seems to be based on a...

    [Football] Maupay

    This is the one. It's perfect. Why is it not getting sung? (I've never heard it if it is)

    [Albion] Do we dare to dream?

    That was my thought too. It's competently, if not brilliantly, written. But it's extremely accurate with plenty of insight, so either a fan or a journalist that really does the homework!

    [Albion] We’ve only gone and finished....

    If I had to put money on, it would be 12th - 14th which would represent very good progress. No being in a relegation battle in the final few games would be progress! Top ten would be huge. I'll state with a great deal of confidence that it won't be top six (although obviously I'll be very very...

    Fair point.

    [Football] Maupay

    He's always had the niggle - and I get the strong impression it's very deliberate and calculated. He enjoys the mind games and is clever enough to play them, including after the game in interviews. As many others have said, I love him but I'd hate him if he wasn't our player. Not sure he's been...

    [Albion] Brighton - "more ruthless, less ballet"

    Some of the play yesterday, especially from Lallana, Trossard and Cucurella was most definitely ballet. It was lovely to watch (although in terms of pure liquid football the Leicester goal was the painful highlight). But it was also very noticeable that we matched their physicality. Duffy...

    Yves Bissouma SINGS on a 5 (five) year deal

    I don't think so. My money would be on him signing a new deal. But I think we DO all agree that such a deal (which would probably feature a release clause of some kind) won't stop him going. It would mean that we'd be paying more while he is still here, but also that we are likely to get a lot...

    [Film] What is your favourite James Bond film?

    I dunno, as I recall it featured an arrogant psychopathic misogynist who has a series of abusive sexual relationships in between engaging in highly unfeasible car/boat chases whilst dodging plotholes large enough to sink a double decker bus. So pretty much the same as all the others.

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    (continued discussion from Good news thread) That's such an individualistic perspective.And also wrong. You are double jabbed and standing next to someone that is vulnerable, but (let's imagine) couldn't get jabbed for medical reasons. Yes, you are protected from them and that's good for...
