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

    I geuinely cannot comprehend the amount of money that would have to be offered to make it worth us selling Bissouma

    Boris Johnson to hold press conference at 4pm

    Precisely. It's just amazing to me that a few idiots (who were bleating the same 'but deaths are still low so we don't need to do anything' mantra when cases were rising sharply in September/October) still haven't worked out how the trends and data works with this virus. It's hardly rocket...

    [Albion] What's the SUM of your ticketing groups for the four home games to date?

    3-3-3-4 That final 4 is pretty irrelevant though. Doubt there will be fans in any stadiums in January, and if current trends continues, as seems very likely, I wouldn't want to be there anyway.

    [Football] West Brom sack Bilic.....

    Indeed. I thought they looked very very well organized. It'll be seen as a Man City failure but in reality what I saw was one of the strongest defensive performances for a long time. Chap in the centre (can't remember the name), organizing the defence was outstanding, as was the goalie. If...

    [Albion] The Wolves Golden Ticket Thread

    I am afraid this is now looking highly likely.

    [Albion] Track and trace - 1901 East Stand?

    Has it been ruled out yet that this could be a Care or NHS worker, or someone else that is getting tested regularly, whether or not they have symptoms? If that hasn't been ruled out then some jumping to conclusions is going on and perhaps explains the deleted tweet. But if is definitely someone...

    [Albion] The Arsenal Golden Ticket Thread

    As frustrating as it is (as above I have been drawn 3-3-3) his response makes complete sense. This is just the least imperfect way to do it.

    [Albion] The Arsenal Golden Ticket Thread

    3-3-3 Not sure if this makes me any luckier than you, as the practical outcome is exactly the same!

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    My very rough mental calculations, based on a molehill of information and a mountain of assumptions, suggests real impact being seen from February onwards and more or less 'back to normal' possible from end March...but there are so many unknowns and so many factors involved and pulling in...

    OK... Please imagine me as virtually backing away slowly, whilst looking for an escape route.

    False equivalence is tempting but dangerous. Of course there are many forms of racism, prevalent around the world. And always have been. But in terms of the impact of racism - in the way that global society and the global economy works, in terms of individual opportunities and day to day...

    [Albion] Player Ratings - Southampton (H)

    This feels pretty much spot on to me. Overall a bunch of very average performances, with Bissouma and Gross the exceptions The only thing I would add is that with Trossard, Ali J and Maupay on we seemed to liven up, and I wish those subs had come earlier when it was clear we needed to change...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Exactly. Already more than good enough for the majority of us, and if this is what can be approved initially then it's more important to get going quickly than to get the dosage perfect from the start. Frankly I'll take whatever is approved whenever it's ready. I can't wait to get jabbed! And...

    [Football] The future of VAR in England

    I expected it to be shite It is shite I fear we are stuck with it, but I am not sure why. Apart from the horse thinking out of the toolbox.

    [Football] March - end of the debate

    If you are going to have a go at March for a relatively poor performance (whch I think it was) I also want to know who you think had an obviously good game? Bissouma certainly. Maybe Gross. Othewise a lot of very average performaces (after a good forst 20 mins or so) with Solly in amongst them.

    [News] Margaret Thatcher Statue

    Thatcher was a deliberately divisive figure who revelled in, and actively sought, conflict. Putting up a statue of her and then having people throw eggs at it seems about right to me as a reflection on her life.

    [Other Sport] Rita Ora

    1. I agree the rules have been inconsistent and badly communicated, but I still think the 'don't have a party with a load of mates during lockdown' bit has been relatively clear throughout 2. I am sure a lot of people have broken the rules, but an even greater number have stuck with them. It is...

    Very rich person thinks that rules for the rest of us don't apply to very rich people. Surprise!

    [Football] 'Handbags'

    It's a report in the Sun so of course its bollocks. Half truths designed to provoke the 'PC gone mad - red faced outraged brigade' (and working well it seems, though I genuinely can't tell if any of the comments on this thread are serious so far) Debate it if you must (though seems like there...
