    [Other Sport] Paris 2024 Olympics & Paralympics ***Official Match Thread***

    If I was running that race I'd be getting rid of every bit of excess weight I could. Some of these guys have watches, bracelets and chunky jewellery on....fair play to them :lol:

    Tommy Robinson

    HIs actual post suggests that his kids are sobbing and terrified in a hotel right now. How tragically ironic.

    [Football] New Kits Thread - 24-25 Season

    Mediocre, of course.

    [Football] Brentford striker Igor Thiago

    I can see Toney staying. He's not going to get the offers he hoped he would: realistically he's not going to be on the radars of City, Arsenal or Liverpool as he's not up to that standard. He's too old at 28 for Chelsea to bother, and I don't see him wanting to go back to Newcastle. Villa don't...

    [Football] Bordeaux Collapse

    I think I read earlier that the clubs will all have to sport Visit Qatar badges on their kit for that deal.

    [Albion] Marc Leonard - 16yr old from Hearts

    There will be a decent sell-on in there, and if he's not going to make the first team here then we may as well give him the opportunity to flourish elsewhere. I've just watched his first interview for Blues: he seems very happy, so good luck to him.

    [Albion] BHAFC Summer 2024 Transfer Rumours

    Birmingham are spending a lot of money, or at least their American owners are. They have big ambitions on and off the pitch. If they don't walk League One next season with the squad that they're building there, it will be a managerial f*** up on a scale that even Wayne Rooney would be ashamed...

    [Albion] Alexander Bah - right back

    Hmmm, I suspect picking a song that nobody under the age of 45 has ever heard of might be the smallest of obstacles to this catching on.

    [Albion] Emile Smith-Rowe

    I do feel that you've perhaps exceeded expectations for the last couple of seasons, and I'm not convinced Marco Silva is that great a manager, so it'll be interesting to see how you get on this season. ESR sounds like a decent signing if you can keep him fit. But I wonder if you might find it...

    [Albion] Diego Gomez

    Seems a possibility this will be one who joins in January, even if he physically signs this summer.

    [Football] New Kits Thread - 24-25 Season

    Vardy's face sums it up. Ugly kit, made worse by a horrendous sponsor logo (and just horrendous sponsor full stop).

    [Albion] Robert Sanchez to Chelsea for £25m plus add-ons

    Chelsea seem pretty advanced with this new keeper now. Poor old Bob. Seven years left on his contract, on Premier League wages that mean he'll either have to waste the next few years of his career on the bench or take a big pay cut in order to go to one of the lesser La Liga clubs. And all this...

    [Albion] BHAFC Summer 2024 Transfer Rumours

    I cannot think of a less Albion-like signing than this bloke. Has had literally one decent season in his entire career, in fact, not even that: he had one good World Cup with Colombia and has blagged his way to massive contracts ever since, mugging off clubs who look at his 2014 showreel and...

    [Albion] Yankuba Minteh SINGS on 5 year contract

    Wouldn't say that out loud in front of the Newcastle board, if I was you.

    [Albion] BHAFC Summer 2024 Transfer Rumours

    He's had his moments but I remain to be convinced that he's top class. I'd say we're at least one top CH short currently. Dunk is in his thirties now so presumably there is some planning afoot around his long term replacement. If we got a decent price for Igor, I'd take it and move on without...

    This being the USA, I wonder how many of them will sue the National Parks organisation?

    [Albion] Japan pre season

    Always the case in Japan, same with the onsens: you have to go in in the buff and shower before you do. I plucked up the courage and adopted the "when in Rome" attitude when I was there. You soon lose the inhibitions when there are a load of elderly Japanese ladies walking around you in the...

    That shirt is bad enough on fit & healthy footballers: it's going to look utterly shocking on fat middle aged blokes.

    [Football] New Kits Thread - 24-25 Season

    Surely I can't be the only one feeling a tad queasy with the term- no doubt coined by a 52 year old male marketing manager- "ever-hot youth culture"? Is that what Chelsea are into? Hot youths?
