    [Albion] Arsenal being linked with Simon Adingra

    This was said in jest but is it really that fanciful? We've just spent all our Caicedo money and more on quality recruits. We are now so good that we could put out two XIs that would at least compete for a top 10 finish. (Adingra or Mitoma wide on the left? Fck me. Someone wake me.up) And...

    [Albion] Premier League 24-25/8/24

    I see Trossard and Bissouma both scored and Buenonotte assisted. Probably worth lumping on Caicedo to score against Wolves tomorrow. I wonder if there's a similar thread on a Watford forum based on our goalscorers today?

    [Albion] Danny Welbeck.

    Agreed. And Murray got his EPL goals here (and Bournemouth?) whereas some of Welbeck's seasons were at Man It's and Arsenal! I don't see anything controversial in what you're saying. It's not a sleight on Welbeck to say Murray's finishing was better.

    Football people who are just impossible to dislike

    Dyche the manager isn't the same as Dyche the bloke - ask @Not Andy Naylor. He's amusing, likes decent music and quite polite. He's a pragmatist as a manager which doesn't lend itself to champagne football, but still a good egg. If he ever becomes a pundit everyone will love him.

    I still like them all I'm afraid!

    It really isn't, it's absolute shite.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    I'm not ready to back either of you on your view of Labour - I guess we'll see. But I do know that this country is built on small businesses (the people who weren't supported over Covid) more than trade union members, and I speak as someone who is not anti-union at all.

    [Cricket] The Hundred

    Yep. In my view (as I've said a few times!) is that domestically we should bin all formats except the long form and T20, then make them both relevant by sensibly dovetailing both competitions. The TV money would come from broadcasters paying to cover the T20 competition properly, much as...

    [Albion] Napoli interested in Billy Gilmour **Sold 30/08/24**

    They are all midfielders but I'm not sure 3 of those 4 are defensive midfielders. (I don't know about Gruda)

    [Albion] Napoli interested in Billy Gilmour **Sold 30/08/24**

    My guess is that he rates Ayari, based on the fact he came on at Everton.

    [Albion] Crawley tickets

    Two days ago the Albion ticketing site had greyed (well, "redded") out three away section blocks. Yesterday they greyed out what looks to be the full 3,100. My guess is that Crawley will get the full 3,100 and that they will probably sell it out, or at least come close to it.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    You'll get no sensible answer I'm afraid. As such, I didn't even bother pointing out that the national debt tripled under the Tories despite all that damaging austerity - and the starting point left by Labour was the main reason they got voted into power in the first place.

    [Albion] Crawley tickets

    There's nothing tin pot about our ticketing system. It's excellent. A handful of Man Utd tickets also went to general sale today (I think) and Chelsea away tickets. I suspect there are a lot of people trying to buy those. As others have said, your club's ticketing set up IS tin pot, which is...

    You misunderstand. I don't want you to be glib, I want you to think about what you're writing instead rather than moronically parrotting anti-Labour anti-union bollocks. You may not have noticed, but under the Tory watch food bank usage has become a staple in British society. There were...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    I agree with this. To be fair to Labour, they said they wouldn't increase tax on the working person (implying no increase on income tax or NI), not that they wouldn't raise taxes at all. I think they need to pick low hanging fruit on tax that isn't those things. IHT, a clamp down on charity...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    No. I say this because they've only been in power five minutes. It's probably fairer to say that it's because the Tories have sold all the family silver down the years including all our utilities, cost us 3-4% by implementing Brexit (badly), wasted billions on useless PPE, crap track and...

    [Albion] Crawley tickets

    Wouldn't surprise me, no. I think those 2,500 will go and the remaining 4-5k ESU sales will be determined to some extent by the result against Man Utd. I'm sure it's achievable. Crawley will bring a few for what is a local game between teams who have only ever played one meaningful game...

    [Albion] Crawley tickets

    If Crawley do fill their current allocation (or have it increased) and we are below 2,500 left by end of today, I suspect they'll open ESU and we'll have a crowd of well over 20,000 for this one, maybe 22/23k. That is a huge crowd for this stage of the competition.

    [Albion] Crawley tickets

    Very rough count up suggests there are about 3,700 tickets left, and Crawley appear to have been allocated more tickets in the South.
