If you go to the amex and sit in silence for 90 minutes then you're only doing yourself a disservice. I love singing and supporting the Albion and I literally can’t understand why anybody who actually supports us wouldn't, if they are able to, do the same. A good atmosphere can boost the team to...
Not strictly spoken with but I walked past Chris Eubank on Hove seafront earlier today. He was having a very animated, slightly bizarre conversation with another bloke. Something about having fire in his heart. I didn't feel like interrupting to ask for a selfie.
The only bright side to all this is seeing the normally well behaved and sensible people on here being a step away from carrying out some vigilante style revenge plan.
I normally slate our home support but it wasn't too bad given the context of last night. It was literally our least important competitive game of the season.
By the same rule Crawley were embarrassing. Half the away end sat down and not even close to being sold out. They were loud for one...
That using arrest figures and crime rates to defend the carnival is a flawed argument because the problem is the level of the serious violence. As I posted, over 23 million people attended EFL matches last season and none of them stabbed each other. So it is disproportionately violent in...
More than 23.7 million supporters passed through the turnstiles of an EFL competition in 2023/24. Still no stabbings.
The usual suspects being a retired Met Police detective chief inspector? Because just this week one called the carnival an example of two tier policing.
How about stabbings and...
The Wembley disorder saw 86 arrests and no stabbings. Yet it prompted a government investigation and report, led by a baroness, to stop it from happening again. The Notting hill carnival has seen 249 arrests and 3 separate stabbings. However, it will be described as mostly peaceful and be...
Nobody was stabbed during that disorder. It received endless negative coverage in the press, on social media and there was a bloody Netflix documentary about it! It also prompted a government review and an F.A review.
Ironically, it serves to prove the point you're trying to disprove. There was...
I'm not sure why everybody's celebrating, it's quite sad. He inspired kids all over the country by showing them that you don't need charisma, brains or talent to succeed.
Fans increase a team's ability to win, they don't guarantee it. Nobody thinks that.
I'm guessing it all sounds monotonous because you don't speak the languages (maybe you do?). Obviously it's just going to be noise after a point but it's probably different to the players and people who...
Bit of a flawed argument. They can have a positive and meanigful impact on their teams perfomance whilst still losing. One of the best Amex atmospheres ever was the 0-1 loss to Burnley. But the fans that day made it more competitive than it should have been with constant noise. You can say it's...
