    [Football] Is this Tony Bloom?

    I like the look of his son. Looks like his dad, intelligent. There is a hope of a new dawn in 30 years time if he hasn't sold it before then.

    [Football] Flower of Scotland.

    A song about sending the English home in a war several centuries ago. Sounds a bit like ten German bombers in the sky to me… Love the hypocrisy. Ps) no issue with it, just highlighting! Pps) I like I vow to thee our country for the English national anthem or land of hope and glory or Jerusalem

    [Football] How to watch football and get more enjoyment out of?

    TV v Being there is the problem for me. This is the first tournament I've not gone to since I first started watching England away in 2006, and I feel very detached from it. When you go to these tournaments you kind of get blown away by the whole event and wrapped up in it. It is very exciting...

    [Football] Jude Bellingham

    Worth a bounce.

    [Politics] Does it matter where constituency candidates come from?

    I’m policy driven predominantly. But who the local MP is certainly not irrelevant. Because of the daft boundary changes in our area I can’t vote for the current MP that I really liked, and who is very much a Sussex man. As a result I wont be voting Tory as I was on the fence anyway but may have...

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    We seem to be cozying up to British Airways as a potential replacement.

    [Football] EURO 2024 - Official Thread

    Dunk looks supremely uninterested in this game!

    [Football] Scottish fans car crash

    5 injured after driving on wrong side of the road. Driver suspected of being under the influence of alcohol. Not good. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/five-scotland-fans-inured-germany-33028564 "Based on the investigations as part of the accident report, it is suspected that...

    [Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

    In my experience I'd say both are extremely long shots. All the old people I know love Farage, and all of them agree with assisted dying as they've seen too many of their relatives/partners suffer from long and painful illnesses. The Tories are totally doomed.

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Yes latest You Gov poll showed this. Putting aside any political opinion that is remarkable and unprecedented. If you add the Reform and Conservative vote together (and yes I know it's not that simple) you'd end up on 37% according to that poll which is exactly the same as the Labour predicted...

    [Misc] Advice on elderly parent / (possible) dementia / hospital discharge type stuff

    Catch up soon, but had to chuckle at the story of her trip to Italy etc. Reminded me that in my dads last few weeks he told me that someone would be round my house later to get me to sign the official secrets act, as he had been working as a special agent all his life and I now had to take this...

    [Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

    Accepted, but that was the problem with a blanket approach. It's a bit johnny hindsight because at the time we all thought the world was ending but certainly they could have saved a few bob through the money given to some companies.

    [Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

    Funnily enough I was just thinking about this. The biggest issue for me with Sunak is how easily he put out money to support companies that really didn't need it. Or at least if they did they don't now. Really should have made them loans not money to never be returned. Could have easily have...

    [Politics] 3 weeks to go

    Same, Tory all my life, but won't be voting for that shower that are currently running it. Reform for now as a protest vote against them. Then hope that the Conservative party sorts its act out for next time. Who knows, maybe Labour will do a good job. I often say Blair was the best conservative...

    [Albion] Fabian Hürzeler **SINGED 15/06/2024**

    Maybe as he is born in the US but really German we can merge both national anthems first verse. It's telling of both nations that every German line is shorter than every US line. My do they love to talk! 😃 O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, Unity and justice and freedom What so...

    [Football] Club v Country

    I’d take England winning the World Cup over Brighton winning the premier league but not the euros.

    [Albion] De Zerbi was NOT “sacked”

    Name me a manager that hasn’t upset a player(s) from time to time? Wouldn’t be doing their job properly if they didn’t surely?
