As NB said the last sentence is utter garbage peddled by doom mongers looking for clicks back in 08. Reality is regulation tightened so stringently since then that capital ratios - seen as a measure of strength of balance sheets - are way better than they were back then. Short selling bans...

Very true but trust me they really aren’t this proactive in this space. 3,000 clients they obviously would love to bank - plenty of cross business line opportunity here [Investment Bank and Wealth Management arm must be absolutely licking their lips!] and as you say downside risk must be...

As an ex-HSBC employee it’s quite a surprise to see the traditionally conservative behemoth get involved in such things.

I’m late to this party so sorry if it’s already been discussed but personally I’d keep them all here. IF we get to Europe and it’s the conference league I’d build the squad around the younger starlets with 3/4 senior players. If Europa have 6/7 seniors and 3/4 starlets. Great proving...

And sing together in time… Brentford fans actually took the innovative step of marking time between stanzas of Hey Jude by singing 1,2,3,4 to make sure all joined in together instead of rushing….

No replays shown on the big screens last night at Brentford. Just the live feed with seemingly no delay.

Well not as bad as mine - take off at 16.30 fly for 4.5 hours on 3rd June practically guaranteeing our first major trophy and I can’t go OR watch it… *FACEPALM* Thank me later guys. FML.

I was there. The miscreant only bought two it would appear… They have safe standing in both home popular end and the away end. From my vantage point it appeared it was stand where you want with clearly more occupants on the standing than number of seats so very difficult to identify the...

Yeah but it’s Chelsea…. 😝

This sentence is so true. The quality of the chances has improved I believe due to two reasons: 1. The players are being cuter with their deliveries. Often under GP it felt like they were trying too much in the sense of beat man and play the pass, often the correct one, but perhaps before the...

Also includes a segment with David Weir. Should have listened to it all before posting right?! *facepalm*

Should add that Barb’s bit ends around 18 minutes.

Hugely interesting listen. Premise is Defoe wants to get into management so has been travelling around talking to people he trusts about how to do that and what works well etc. He came to the Albion to talk to Barber. Very interesting listen. Lots of guff at the beginning so skip about 3...

Half a goal a game for Palace. Which is nice.

I happen to be going tonight and given the similarities in our style I’ll be totally miffed if Fulham go there and play an open game given their Amex shenanigans. I’d love a high scoring draw so hoping for a Desmond with a last minute Brentford equaliser.

This. And we’re missing a Brazilian in our South American players poker hand.

There isn’t a big enough button I can use to LIKE this post. Bet you’ve been waiting years to do something like this. Bet my blankety blank beep you have!

As much as I hope it continues our ridiculous run against West Ham has to come to an end at some point doesn’t it? I know probability doesn’t work like this but surely it gets increasingly likely each time we play them that they’re due a result by hook or by crook?! Having said that watching...

“Looking forward to” not often those words are said about a visit there. Been twice, saw us lose unjustly in the league under Peter Taylor and hoping to show hoofball the red card under Poyet and watched us get our arses handed to us on and off the pitch both times. Genuine knucklehead fans so...

So I have to ask, given your background, do you agree with the findings of the report?!
