    We can't miss this gift of a chance. Just look at how weak they are. :rolleyes: The "injury ravaged" team that lost to Bournemouth last week The team that beat us 4-0 in April Ederson Ederson Walker Walker Akanji Akanji Ake Ake Gvardiol Gvardiol Gundogan Rodri Kovacic Kovacic...

    [Other Sport] Lord Lucan prog on BBC2

    That's some old bloke pretending in the hope they might take him to prison and he'll escape Gibbon Road.

    [Other Sport] Lord Lucan prog on BBC2

    There was a nice news report shot of 1970s Newhaven taken from the A259 at the riverside with the Crown and New Bridge Inn/C&E Sports in the background. We had it paused for ages remembering a time when traffic went through the town and you could catch the bus from outside Unwins, instead of...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    Yes, and made even sweeter by his reaction. Instead of arrogantly puffing out his chest and pointing with two thumbs to his number, he took a second to process what he'd just managed and then collapsed, overwhelmed by everything like any one of us would have if it had somehow happened to us.

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    A little gift for your mate so he can see how wrong he was from every possible angle. :ROFLMAO:

    [Albion] Man City team news

    We could go into this game with close to the strongest squad we've had this season. Meanwhile they have lost three in a row. Absolute best time to ....get good odds on a City win. 8/11. We've been excellent in patches of most games this season. We've also been naive at some point in...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Labour's popular vote in 2024 was actually down on the 2019 results. Over half a million more people voted for Corbyn's Labour party than did for Starmer's. However the Tory popular vote was down by over 7 million. The scale of the win was due to the Tory collapse and Labour's astute...

    They used to believe in that too, but they've just got their first King since George III.

    No it's not from the war of independence, (Or as I like to think of it, the treasonous tax dodgers rebellion), but from the war of 1812. The one where we torched the pink house on Pennsylvania Avenue, so they had to paint it white. In the same attack we sacked the Capitol Building and set that...

    What kind of true Brit would enjoy a song celebrating a foreign victory over the Royal Navy?

    I wouldn't worry too much about that. Although Vance's political thinking is a bit more organised and unpleasant than Trump's mercurial scattergun nonsense, the moment that Trump is gone, the entire Repulican party will be fighting like rats in a bag. Vance would be chewed up and spat out...

    I can't agree. Everyone of us Brighton fans would vote for Peter Ward over any of those candidates. ;) We'd definitely have him in number 10 (and all the other numbers if the song is to be believed).

    He didn't say that he'd start them. He said that he'd cause them. Virtually every war that has started post WWII has been connected with a scrabble for territory and / or the associated resources. No country is innocent, but a climate denial approach will accelerate the fight for diminishing...

    Yes and it will be exactly the same in America. They all follow the same policies. Maximise the share price. Nothing else matters. Quite a lot of the 'wokeism' that the right wing makes such hay with is also just corporate policy. Its about marketing companies as moral enterprises to...

    Nope. That's based on a Trump lie. Not decriminalised. Charged as a misdemeanour not a felony: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/30/us/california-shoplifting-trump-harris.html It's not kids nicking sweets here either. Groups of adults walking into the shop and taking booze or high value...

    Happens all the time in the small town Sussex local supermarket that my daughter works in. Company policy is that staff don't risk themselves. They don't employ security because its cheaper to swallow the losses than to employ anyone to help provide a safer environment for staff and customers...

    The fat bit’s fair enough isn’t it? At least let us have the fat bit. ;) As @Bozza has indicated, this has been another pocketbook election. People felt the pinch and replaced Obama with Trump, Trump with Biden and Biden with Trump. They’ll still feel the pinch at the end of the next four...

    That’s a decent gag. He and his kind thrive on ‘Wokeism’. The last thing they’ll want is for it to stop. What would they use to scare middle America? Those supporting him will be looking for a nationwide abortion ban and will be turning their sights on gay marriage if that’s what you mean.

    With Congress, the House and the Supreme Court on side, the rules on term limits are as easily changed as Roe v Wade was. If the world wants rid, cheeseburgers seem a better bet than America’s institutions.
