    [Politics] Presidential Debate - Trump v Biden

    Agree, Sanders vs Trump would be a very different kind of fight from what we are seeing and with plenty of evidence to suggest Sanders could have won. We'll never know how it would have panned out now of course. But the strategy is clearly to get Biden in first (Sanders as very quick to endorse...

    [Politics] Presidential Debate - Trump v Biden

    Trump is literally on record boasting about 'grabbing women by the pussy'. So a bit different maybe. Not that it'll probably make much difference (although it does seem that the majority of potential Rupublican voters he is losing in swing states are women...so maybe it is finally having some...

    [Politics] Presidential Debate - Trump v Biden

    Yes. Me. Of course Biden is stunningly uninspiring. Of course the Democrats could have done better. And in future I suspect they will. But I believe he'll still win. And win comfortably enough that any kicking and screaming by Trump will not be taken seriously by any of those that matter...

    [Politics] US Presidential Debate 1 Thread - Biden v Trump (2am BST kickoff)

    My thoughts too. 'Constant endless fact checking' would be very welcome in the face of 'constant endless lies' But won't happen. I suspect it will be a fairly dull affair, lot's of heat, very little light and unless something really extreme happens it will just reinforce everyone's existing...

    [Albion] Andi Zeqiri (Now Signed)

    There I was all ready to point out he's of Albanian heritage (as is Xhaka) ...but luckily I did a bit of research first That's me educated then. Interesting part of the world, but not one I know well.

    No, it hasn't changed. If anything has hardened as the gap between parties has widened.

    Well. That's sensible. And no fun at all. Have you not seen the thread title? Please play the game better.

    Trump

    I always wear both. Seems perfectly appropriate to remember all who have died as a result of conflict, including civilians, to remind ourselves and our leaders of the real costs. I don't see it as hijacking. But hey ho, it has all become unnecessarily politicised. You go ahead with whatever...

    No problem. I'll do that if Trump wins. And how about if Biden wins (very unlikely of course) you do the same for these: https://shop.ppu.org.uk/collections/frontpage/products/poppies-5-pack ?

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    However it is happening (and while I do make some assumptions, based on the evidence available, I am always open minded to other possibilities) it is definitely good news if the trends continue! It is true that, while infections outside the home might drop more quickly, there is still an...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Interestingly the other 'early warning' system, the coronavirus symptom tracker (with a lag of just a few days) has shown a slowdown in new symptomatic cases for the last two days. Very early days still, but the warnings and new measures may be having an effect and hopefully preventing us from...

    Trump

    Polls are still looking very good for Biden. Even if the polls are wrong by the same margin as they were last time, Biden still wins. These tax revelations won't change many minds. Indeed it doesn't seem there are that many minds left to be changed, which is a big difference from the same...

    [Albion] Where would we be

    Where would we be without Dick Knight? Where would we be without the campaigners that helped save the club and get us the stadium? Where would be without Tony Bloom? Where woud be without Gus Poyet? Where would we be without Chris Hughton? Where would be without...so many others? I see you and...

    [Albion] Player rating v 12 man Manchester United.

    Ryan 6 Not much wrong, but nothing spectacular either Lamptey 6.5 I am glad he had a (relatively) quiet game. He can't be expected to live up to the hype and I hope this takes the attention and pressure off him a bit White 7 Very very good player, but (obviously) lacking experience at this level...

    [Albion] Andi Zeqiri (Now Signed)

    I support the moneyball approach under current circumstances - playing the long game seems like a good strategy And I trust the people involved - while you can't get everything right, I am sure know what they are doing. But I really can't get my head around the step up from 2nd tier Swiss...

    [News] NHS CV19 tracing app.

    Yeah...me too I have a feeling the main thing this app will do for me is to remind me just what an anti-social misanthrope I really am. The odds of me getting within 2 metres of anyonefor any length of time is almost zero, outside my close family (and even then...rarely). In fact, I can't...
