    Trump

    I think I may have spotted a problem with the legitimacy of your sources there. Is this really what democracy has come to? Whoever can create the greatest amount of online insinuation and doubt around people connected with the other side, whoever can make the most mud stick, wins? Hopefully...

    [Albion] £14.95 to a Brighton foodbank instead - Monday PPV vs. West Brom.

    Going back to something someone said earlier. There's too much overthinking going on here. It's a chance to make a point about the absurd amount of money sloshing about at the top end of football, how that feels/looks at a time when so many are strugglng and the importance of looking out for...

    The Vaccine Thread

    That (who should get it first) may depend on what any vaccine is shown to do (if and when it arrives). It may be that it stops you getting it. But more likely is that it reduces the severity (in older/vulnerable) and/or reduces likelhood that you transmit it. I recall back in spring you posted...

    Trump

    Pollsters will be trying to correct for previous errors, but the problem they have is that everything is changing, all the time. The things people care about, the attitudes to the candidates, questions of who turns out and why...all different, all in constant flux. So the cause of errors this...

    The Vaccine Thread

    As I said above - I will take the well documented views (backed by peer reviewed data) of serious scientists involved in medical research and vaccine development over 'someone on the internet telling us what their mate said'. What is the alternative to using a vaccine? 1. Lot's more people...

    The Vaccine Thread

    Obviously Yes. And I think we need to be careful with the framing of the process as 'rushed' More accurate to say these vaccines have been extraordinarily well funded. Which simply means ithey have gone through all the same processes and checks as any other vaccince, just quicker, because they...

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    I don't think it IS a breakaway, I am saying it SHOULD be a breakaway. I agree that these teams are expecting to have their cake (and ours) and eat it it too. And given the weakness and greed of those at the top, they will get what they want. For now. BadFish if you haven't checked the link...

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    Almost everything I dislike about modern football is linked to one thing and that's money (too much of it). It's the finance curse in a sporting arena. The richer those profiting from the premier league (players, managers, owners, agents, broadcasters etc) become, the worse off everyone else...

    [Albion] Team for West Brom

    I was just about to write the same and wondering if there was some sort of test that could be carried out in advance. I thought maybe some way of measuring the contrast between the darkness around his eyes and the paleness of the rest of him. The greater the contrast the less energy he seems to...

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    Let them go (but make clear they can't come back and they can't also be in a national league) Imagine how much of the plastic, commercial Americanised shite they would take with them. It will feel cleansing.

    Trump

    oh my https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmfVTOnfWos Exxon being forced onto twitter to deny they have been bribing Trump for permits... Not a great advert for that swamp draining service eh? Every day it gets EVEN more extraordinary to me that this man is President and that almost half of...

    [Albion] Relegation Thread 2020/21 - Reasons to be cheerful !

    Already got a small bet on Leeds to go down, and at 14/1 tempted to put on a bit more. Not that I think they WILL be relegated. I think they will very probably be safe. But those odds do look like good value right now. What I saw last night (as opposed to the story of Leeds' superhuman ability...

    [Albion] Captain In Place Of Dunk?

    Lallana. Veltman. Ryan In that order, depending on who is on the pitch.

    Trump

    Under no illusions. Biden's lead at national level seems pretty solid now, and in any sane world Biden would be home and safe. But given the (stupid) US system, it only takes a very small shift in sentiment and Trump is within a polling error of victory in enough swing states to sneak over the...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    I share the confusion as I had the same understanding as Bozza. We are also hearing about 'rolling reviews' - although maybe that just covers safety rather than effectiveness? I'd have thought, with no knowledge or expertise at all, that the study would be arranged in 'cohorts' being kicked off...

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    Yes, that's what should happen. What will happen is another matter, but it puts Boris and chums in a difficult position. Do something they know is the only sensible way forward (spend big now, tax from the top down later) but which goes against every ideological bone in their bodies and (more...
