    [News] Huw Edwards

    This. Absolutely ridiculous state of affairs. Retweet something nasty - 2 years inside Pay to watch children being raped - nothing, and keep your £200k paid whilst suspended pending investigation. Disgraceful.

    [Politics] Trump under fire.

    Millions of Americans own millions of guns. I don't know why they bother. They seem to keep missing their fat, moronic presidential candidate and they don't ever win any shooting medals at the Olympics. The only reason I am convinced the average American even knows how to use a gun is that...

    [Albion] Crawley

    The reason I put Winchester and Southampton in the same sentence is that Winchester is very clearly inside Southampton's catchment area - that's all. And you appear to be confusing Southampton with Eastleigh. I mean yes there are shit bits of Southampton (Lordshill, Millbrook etc) but there...

    [Albion] Crawley

    Well I don't mind them as I lived in Winchester for some time. One of my brothers supports them, the best man at my wedding supports them, and my cousin's husband was even the bloke dressed up as their mascot 20 years ago! The city itself is a bit dull I suppose, but hardly "intolerable" IMO.

    [Albion] Crawley

    They are absolutely shit and have 3 points from 5 games. It's all very very pleasing.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Ipswich Town *** Official Match Thread ***

    I changed my mind in the score competition when I saw everyone was going for 3-1 including me. I saw 1-0 had about 8 votes so I plumped for that instead. Glad I did. No chance we're scoring 3 goals today. I'd very much take 1-0 now.

    [Other Sport] Aussie Rules Football

    That was an insane second half. Hawthorn captain threw it away by hitting the post after taking a mark in comfortable scoring range with a minute to play.

    [Albion] Would you take four points from the next two games?

    Back in the Ipswich and Forest glory days of the late 70s and early 80s, would either have accepted a point at home to us? Of course not. Well these days it is us who are the provincial side doing well, and as such I think we're more than capable of 6 points here.

    [Football] Lee Carsley - The National Anthem.

    Always amusing to see the Dutch line up against the Spanish, with the Dutch declaring loyalty to the King Of Spain while the Spanish stand there in silence. There must be Dutch people who object to their anthem too.

    [Football] Lee Carsley - The National Anthem.

    That doesn't follow at all. Anyway I agree with the OP. I wouldn't sing our crap NA either.

    [Albion] Have we, at some point in our seasons in the EFL/EPL, occupied every position between 1-92?

    It really isn't. I didn't save it. But let's pretend it's 56th loosely based on a visual of distribution.

    [Humour] Joke du jour

    I finally got to see my GP on Tuesday and showed him the rash on my bollocks. He just ignored me and kept pushing his trolley around Tesco.

    [Other Sport] Queens Tennis - Draper vs Alcaraz

    Henman wasn't a choker - he just wasn't the very, very best. He reached 8 grand slam semis including 4 at Wimbeldon, which is exceptional. He only really choked once, in that he had only one very winnable semi match at Wimbledon. In 1998 and 1999 lost to world #1, Pete Sampras. In 2002 he...

    [Albion] Have we, at some point in our seasons in the EFL/EPL, occupied every position between 1-92?

    I thought it would be interesting to see how many different FINAL league placings we've been in according to this site. I put it into Excel and here are the placings we've had: League Position No. Of Seasons 6 1 9 1 11 1 13 1 15 2 16 2 17 1 19 1 22 2 23 1 24 2 26 3...

    [News] Ofwat to basically deregulate water companies….

    And they'll answer "nothing" and you'll have to suck it up as you have no choice where to get your water. The fact that the only way to ensure water companies get what they richly deserve will have the affect of tanking pension funds of innocent people means they get away with it scott-free...

    [Football] Crawley withdraw from Sussex Senior Cup

    I'm surprised nobody here has suggested they enter the Surrey Senior Cup instead "as that's where they truly belong" or some other nonsense.

    [Albion] Joao Pedro - How good is he?..

    This is interesting and my guess is that your concern is misplaced. I suspect we are seen in a similar way to RB Leipzig or Atalanta these days, or will be if we reach Europe one or two more times. I.e. not a traditional powerhouse but certainly big enough to attract players of sufficient...

    Nope. You're thinking of Sheffield Wednesday.

    [Albion] So, 3 PL games in, are we a real threat?

    This is where the real debate is to be had. I think our lack of European football means we are an outside bet for the top 4 and not just a threat but bang in the mix for at least a Conference league spot. The top 3 picks itself (City, Arsenal, Liverpool), but then there are several clubs who...

    [Football] Leicester City charged with alleged PSR breach

    In fairness, every single club is doing its best to get round the rules to suit themselves. I don't really see Leicester as any different. I wish they'd throw the whole rulebook in the bin and instead just do a better job of distributing the vast sums of money across professional football.
