    Official Running Thread

    I am going to Jon Hopkins at the Dome tonight which I suspect will be the last gig for a while.... As for running. I can now do 10k without needing to take water, although that may change as the weather warms up, but anything over that I wear my running vest and take a least one bottle of...

    Official Running Thread

    Thanks for the welcome. Always used to do a bit of light running (<5k) when I was playing football but stopped playing around two years ago. Been trying to got into running more regularly ever since but not really managed it until around August/September last year. I started going to my local...

    Anyone Happy To Admit To Panic Buying/Stockpiling?

    As the OP it's interesting to read through the thread. I don't have any issue with people buying a bit extra - the deeper we get into this you just have to accept that it's a sensible move to build up a buffer. I think people that have been doing a bit of prepping for their own needs for some...

    Anyone Happy To Admit To Panic Buying/Stockpiling?

    This type of behaviour should as abhorrent as dropping your trousers and taking a dump in the middle of the road. So much for #BeKind, #Respect, #Together and all that idealistic nonsense. I really do try to live and let live but it's this sort of thing that makes me mutate into some kind of...

    Official Running Thread

    As a relatively new regular runner, I've not really taken much notice of this thread before but with no football I think it might be the next best reason for visiting NSC. Can I join the table?

    Anyone Happy To Admit To Panic Buying/Stockpiling?

    Whilst there seems to be general condemnation of people stockpiling/panic buying it's 100% clear that #BeKind has been replaced with #ScrewYou - enough people are doing it to force supermarkets into rationing certain items just so we can all, especially the vulnerable, get what they need. Who...

    [Misc] Caroline Flack

    Indeed. Absolutely no doubt the impending court case was very troubling to Ms. Flack but to single it out as some kind of malicious show trial is IMHO unfair and deflects from the wider issues around trolling on social media, the support for mental health issues (which has been ripped to...

    [Misc] Caroline Flack

    This * 1000. What a great post. People say it's the coward's way and perhaps to some extent, in some circumstances it is, especially when innocent people are robbed of justice but for the most part unless you've been there you don't have a clue.

    [Misc] Caroline Flack

    What a sad, sad story in so many ways. Ignoring the DV aspect to this then it is no stretch of the imagination to see how our society's insatiable appetite for sensationalism and gossip feeds the tabloid press machine and empowers them to go far beyond the acceptable in their pursuit of a story...

    [Albion] Arrests at the game yesterday

    Although it seems less pervasive than in times past, sadly it would be naive to think that a game would pass without some visitors spewing some kind of homophobic bile but I really am staggered about the ignorance of these complete and utter see you next Tuesday's who decide to pick on a...

    [Albion] Arrests at the game yesterday

    The people next to us in the bus queue were talking about the SW corner problems which they witnessed first hand. It started off with a small group of Villa idiots coming out with the homophobic nonsense. The stewards came in and stopped that but allowed them to stay. They then starting...

    3 arrests yesterday

    It might not be the strongest insult but I would say is the wrong side of acceptable especially from a fan of a club that has attracted the most vile homophobic abuse over the years. Would it have been better if he had said "gay" or "homo"? Not too mention that just a few weeks ago, assuming...

    You and me both.

    3 arrests yesterday

    Heard the word "poof" shouted from behind me in the east upper yesterday, aimed at the ref as I recall. Couldn't tell who said it but that's the first time I have heard anything like that for a very, very long time.

    [Football] What about this VAR suggestion from Souness?

    Before VAR came in all we would hear from pundits and fans was the cry to use video to correct mistakes being made by officials in games. Right now it really is a case of "beware of what you wish for". I personally think the principle of VAR is sound, especially when the standard of...

    [Albion] Aaron Mooy

    I know with two goals on his first full PL start Connolly was the easy choice for MOTM (great to see his confidence running at defenders especially) but I thought Mooy deserved it for his absolutely class performance today. He made space from nowhere, had fantastic close control, showed a real...

    I probably will (got to really as I live on the route). I am a pretty casual runner but just done the Arundel 10k and getting regular at the LA seafront Park Run. I think entries close on the 4th...

    [Politics] Brexit

    The result of the referendum was to supposedly allow this country to prosper not allow unelected leaders to drag this country into the worst cluster**** for generations. The ONLY people who would have knowingly voted for this is the tiny minority of the wealthy elite who are so cushioned from...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Simply disgusting. Cameron's already astounding level of hubris in starting the process has just been eclipsed in extraordinary fashion by Boris. I hope history consigns them both to the pit of the contemptible.

    [Albion] Bloom knows he got his timing wrong.

    TB doesn't need to get most on board with his choices. He who pays the piper calls the tune. I get the point about CH's stock between the Cardiff result and the end of the season but the reality is that he has done so much for the club he will always be regarded by the majority of fans as one...
