    [Albion] Brighton v Spurs line up

    I reckon they'd screw up.

    [Albion] Brighton v Spurs line up

    Oh, agreed, but thought it was eclipsed by the subsequent discussion about the Large Hadron Collider.

    [Albion] Ibrahim Osman **Loaned To Feyenoord 15/08/24**

    I even liked the look of Osman in pre-season, not that he did an awful lot, but he's really strong, physical and rapid. That's a great little cameo, although the first two free kicks he wins were somewhat lucky: the defenders got the ball on both occasions, and I definitely don't think the...

    [Albion] Solly March, local lad and Premier League star, is f***ing brilliant

    Please let Solly make the 20 tomorrow as this will be the last time we'll ever see the holy trinity together :(

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Well, I'm with @beorhthelm on this one. Its current performance is dire granted, but each component part of the technology has been proven to work, so there's no reason why it can't. It could lead to negative emissions too, which is worth reflecting on. You invoke Monbiot, who has a very good...

    You're probably right. Maybe there's the diminishing law of returns with them. All their stuff tends to become rather homogeneous for me, but I can say that (the relatively recent) Mladic is about the best thing they've done.

    Am currently listening to Godspeed. Wasn't sure when The Smile release date is/was, nor even if I've pre-ordered it.

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    With him as with so many shysters, it's trying to get him to remain on topic. During the election campaign, he was pressed persistently on certain points, and dropped his standards and even got agitated. If you're rude or accusatory towards him, he's perfectly good at responding (quite rightly)...

    [Albion] Hürzeler’s (Brighton) Tactics

    On your last para, I'm going to differ. You're right on JPVH against Forest which I found baffling because it reminded me of what RDZ got his CBs to do, which was to go after their player even if it meant following into the defensive area. This left us wide open and was increasingly exploited by...

    Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't computed the vote number figure, but that's so stark and, I know I'm being pedantic here but I think it's worth saying, they actually lost more than half their 2019 vote number.

    [Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

    Indeed, and I didn't mean to create the impression that these were the only two options.

    [Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

    You raise numerous sound points in here. I think you're being a little harsh on the 'playing with intensity', so I'll try and make the case for this, and make a few further points. Yes, playing with intensity entails working harder, but it's more than that. It means that we pressurise the...

    [Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

    I refer you to the post from @Guinness Boy for a wider perspective, although I'm not entirely convinced losing 4-2 to Chelsea is a bad result (there were concerns about the game plan). The plan is to press high, play with intensity (probably the most used FH word) and squeeze the opposition...

    While the pair of you are too polite to say as much, you and @pigmanovich seem to be saying that @Justice is astoundingly wrong in his analysis.

    Laura Kuenssberg - Political Editor of the BBC

    You're right on this but an alternative take is that she's been accused of being very cosy with the Tories and this is further grist to that mill.

    There I was thinking we lost it two-nil, which was probably the other home Leicester game under CH

    Maddison has done that before at The Amex, earning a second yellow after about half an hour. We still lost though.
