    [Football] BBC Chairman says show fewer highlights on MOTD

    I would echo this. The big problem with Saturday is the use of retired players as 'experts'. They don't have the experience of the league as it is currently. This shines when we get to the international tournaments and they use current coaches who can give actual tactical analysis rather than...

    [Football] FA Cup Replays.

    I missed the City semi-final because it felt wrong. I did go to the United one but that was first game back after over a year of post-Covid. If we beat Forest I shall have to face that question again. I'm also quite old so I'm sad with the loss of replays. Big club squads are fatter than ever so...

    [Albion] Bournemouth - The table does not lie!

    And we gave him two defenders to show him inside. Very generous of us. And yes it was a good strike

    [Football] Football Governance Bill / Independent Football Regulator

    So she doesn't "doubt the sincerity and honesty of their opinions or their integrity" but in the op-ed said their "tenuous claims ... were wrong and offensive".

    [Travel] STH postcodes and Travel to the Amex

    I thought the tone was about encouraging cycling, improved public transport, and ride-sharing. The public transport part was mostly about a need for improved public transport generally highlighting areas that are poorly served. The cycling (and walking) paid not much concern to the environment...

    [Albion] Premier League 12/2/25

    I didn't think that was possible, but it is. Players disciplined for goading and a melee at the final whistle. Sounds familiar. Was it a splendid end to a derby? Of course it was, and would have been miles better without VAR. Though there is the consolation of thousands of Liverpool fans...

    [Travel] STH postcodes and Travel to the Amex

    I'm not sure I could conclude that I'm identifiable individually by knowing there is one STH in my postcode but I can see that it is 'location data' so may be caught. Does making the video private help though as the data is still held and processed? Do the STH Ts&C's permit BHA to share data...

    [Travel] STH postcodes and Travel to the Amex

    Odd behaviour. Now I shall never find out what the colour-coding was. I did watch the video but have forgotten the coding.

    [Travel] STH postcodes and Travel to the Amex

    I'm feeling rather isolated. It would take me 1hr 20m to reach any of my neighbours! Agree that that map is mad and shows you how dedicated football fans are. And makes you realise why we weren't all delighted at Saturday's 8pm kick off. I watched the video and, while the data was interesting...

    [Music] Your first ever (proper) gig?

    Tangerine Dream, Hammersmith Odeon 1978, age 16. I lived in Arundel and schoolmates in Horsham. Somehow persuaded my dad to pick me up from Horsham as that's where the last train stopped. Still remember it well and thanks to Tangerine Tree have a copy of it, which I listened to only yesterday...

    [Misc] Strangest thing you've had nicked...

    I know of two cases of people leaving their radiators outside while they decorated intending to put them back up. Big mistake.

    [Albion] Everton and anti football

    I don't understand why a warning is necessary. The law says ref must give a caution if restart is delayed excessively. Should be more cautions. Although I didn't enjoy the style of football I understand why they do it.

    [Albion] Multiple North Stand "singing" sections

    I'm in N1D and this sums up my view too. Sussex by the Sea is a good example. During the match when that is sung by the fans closer to the East it is only obvious by about the last line of the verse.
