    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    We did, We had Mark Lawrenson, still the best player I've ever seen at the club. He had four seasons before going to LIverpool - stayed longer than Caicedo or Mac but not as long as Pascal. I don't think there was the same level of sadness for him as for Gross though - it was accepted that he'd...

    [Misc] Thunderstorms kicking off.....................

    TBF, the Met Office corrects that in the next tweet - although it's never really felt like part of Sussex.

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

    Oh no, poor Frankie. He looked like he was doing pretty well. Hope he does well for the rest of the year and convinces the powers-to-be that they've made a mistake.

    [Help] Holidaying in Sardinia

    Loved the place - can only endorse what other people have said about the beaches. I don't drive and got around fine. I hired a bike and cycled up into mountains, that was tough but the views were fantastic. Coming down was hairy though - felt like I was in the Giro the speeds I was reaching...

    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    The law was different 20 years ago. At that time, if the ball was from a slow bowler then it was only a no ball if it went above the shoulder. For fast/medium bowlers it was the waist. The law was changed (I think about 10 years ago) because there was clearly a dispute about what slow and medium...

    Dusty? :facepalm: And she's not my cup of tea, but I reckon Adele would like a word

    [Albion] Sarmiento

    Don't forget Norwich fans completely dismissing Gilmour as absolutely useless and nowhere near up to Championship standard.

    Blimey, think Rhodes got a shocking decision there. But I'll take it 😂

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

    What's Adrian Harms on about; "Warwickshire have their noses just in front"? Warwickshire are well ahead. They're going win this with about 10 overs to spare

    [Travel] Paris for the uninitiated.

    I've been to Paris about 40 times over the years and I can still find something new when I go back - it's a fabulous city. There's some good advice here and it's really worth stressing that it's best to avoid staying (and eating ) in the centre (especially if you eat en terrasse) - you pay...

    [Help] COVID FLIRT

    I haven't had a test but I've had the worst sort of cold this last week - a terrible cough and I've been wheezing like a smoking beagle. I've felt completely wiped out and struggled to walk upstairs - haven't felt this ill in years.

    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    I really don't get this. It's clear that Gross and Moder are on their way. If, and it's still an if, WBG and Buonanotte are leaving too, it will leave us very short in midfield. Yes, we'll have Wieffer and Yalcouye - two players who have never played in English football and Baleba (a 20 year old...

    [Albion] Japan pre season

    Ayari doesn't look like a player destined to go out on loan. Neither does Buonanotte come to think of it

    [Football] Everton, will they ever learn?

    That's because a club moves them on quickly (see Cucu, Sanchez, Caicedo, Trossard etc) - any sign of downing tools and they're out the door. What was the name of that striker at Forest who, literally did go on strike? He showed the way to engineer a way out

    [Football] Everton, will they ever learn?

    Then you're generally not paying the market rate. People don't move for less money (generally speaking). I agree that there are other possibilities. People could work for less money for a job closer to home to work at home more often but the vast majority of the time it's either more money or a...

    [Football] Everton, will they ever learn?

    Yeah, not sure what the agent's done wrong there. If a player is worth £160k a week (and if Man U want to pay it, that's what he's worth) then the problem is Everton undervaluing him. So they pay the extra (which is pretty much what Ipswich did with McKenna) or they let him go (which is what...

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    Yeah, ULEZ is not a revenue-raising scheme, the aim is to improve health and reduce carbon emissions. There may be more pedestrian zones however

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    I would take those prices with a massive pinch of salt. I bought a flat in Balham for £72k in 1993 - £210,000 in today's prices according to the ONS. Just had a look on Right Move and seen similar flats a couple of streets away for £1.1m. That flat was partly funded by my share of the sale of my...

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    Ain't that the truth? It's compounded by the fact that about 85/90% of 65+ vote but not too many under 30s. This means government policies (of both Labour and Tories) have been geared towards the older generation. So people are voting in self interest for policies that favour the unproductive...

    [Albion] 1st x1 this year

    I wonder whether he'll be using Baleba as CB, he may well want someone with more pace there (I haven't seen Wieffer so that could be an option too) It could be anyone's guess - I wonder whether Fab knows his best 11 yet. I bet Minteh and Mitoma are shoo-ins though.
