    [Music] Oasis - 2025

    I don't disagree. I don't really care about Oasis so find it quite funny tbh. However, if you'd painted this picture in your head of the Gallagher brothers as the archetypal Northern everyman only to have one of them directly tell you to "SHUTUP" because you've been priced out of their gig, you...

    [Albion] We’ve got an England International

    I genuinely can't see the FA thinking it's fine that they don't have the manager they want because he needs to be paid in full by Chelsea. Southgate reportedly paid £100k a week as England manager so you'd imagine it wouldn't be such a devastating drop for Potter. If it's going to be an...

    [Music] Oasis - 2025

    I guess it just rubbishes the (obviously false) claim that the Gallaghers are men of the people, and they give any kind of shit about their audience. They're back for the money and THEY WANT MORE. Once the red-tint on ya retro sunnies have faded, you may find that maaaaybe the Gallaghers are...

    [Albion] We’ve got an England International

    I know you're a GP superfan, so I hope you take this as a genuine question. Why would Potter take over in October and not have taken over immediately if he was the first choice?

    You're right. Forgot our place. I often forget about Yorkshire.

    [Football] Would Man City take a 100 pt deduction tomorrow.

    It's going to be tight for sure. They cut their wages enormously last season and more importantly they sold at the right times. They basically needed to make up almost exactly £100m ahead of June 30 2024. To do this they sold: Harvey Barnes for £38m, Castagne for £15m, and KDH for £30m. So £83m...

    [Football] Leicester City charged with alleged PSR breach

    I'm no lawyer but I think because of the way in which "Club" is used to define a member/shareholder of the Premier League that phrase would essentially leave a loophole where relegated teams have voting rights after they have been relegated (which could cause all sorts of problems). Also it...

    [Football] Leicester City charged with alleged PSR breach

    I don't know how the PL can fix this loophole without redefining what it is completely. The main crux of the issue is that Leicester ceased to be a Premier League "Club" on 13/06/23 and the breach didn't officially occur until 30/06/23 (the end of the 3-year-accounting-period). The whole point...

    [Football] Would Man City take a 100 pt deduction tomorrow.

    No they wouldn't. Whilst Leicester have gotten away with no points deduction, the trade off is that they lost a season of Premier League income where their broadcast income essentially halved. When Fulham went down and back up in 21/22, their turnover decreased by 38% in that year in the...

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    100% and it would've been harder to say that Rice was actively delaying the restart. The reality is he ticked almost every box according to the laws to deserve a booking.

    [Misc] The Most You've Paid For An Event

    Genuinely don't think I've ever spent over £100 on a single event. £300+ for Glastonbury but that's thousands of events rolled into one. Would've been happy to spend £120-£150 on a couple of McCartney tickets for December but with Ticketmaster's wonderful dynamic pricing system they ended up...

    [Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24

    The Leeds fan I am mates with (singular) didn't speak to me for 3 days after this transfer as he was so heartbroken. Said he's a joy to watch and will be great at Brighton when he finally got over himself.

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    This. Part of the complexity of the wording on this (and why JP wasn't delaying the restart when kicking the ball down the touchline - we have a multiball system) is that Rice has to delay the restart to be delaying the restart of play. If Veltman doesn't make any attempt to restart the play...

    [Humour] Curry's 'Gen Z speak' advert

    Hate to be that person but Skibidi (Toilet) is actually referencing a really weird and popular YouTube series, rather than the great song that I remember going slight viral six years ago (when I was still somewhat young). Apologies for the below everyone - truly weird (though I guess my...

    [Cricket] Cricket- 2nd Test, Lords, August 29 - September 2nd, 2024, Sri Lanka tour of England

    Really good points. I think the sad thing is, I'd just like to go and watch some cricket at my local ground. I get that Lords is the international ground in cricket and demand should always be high, but it shouldn't be crazy to think people who are able to pop down shouldn't be barred to do so...

    [Cricket] Cricket- 2nd Test, Lords, August 29 - September 2nd, 2024, Sri Lanka tour of England

    Yes, absolutely, especially for the West Indies (the ICC ban over government interference probably the bigger issue for Sri Lanka). But I don't see how the ECB and MCC charging punters ludicrous prices, raking in record profits and having the most lucrative sponsorships in the history of sport...

    [Cricket] Cricket- 2nd Test, Lords, August 29 - September 2nd, 2024, Sri Lanka tour of England

    Is it really the highest level though? Both the West Indies and Sri Lanka sit comfortably in the bottom half of the Test rankings and the series have both predictably gone exactly the way you'd expect despite some resistance from both teams. Sure, for the Ashes and India you can fill a ground...

    [Albion] Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    It's Pochettino at Spurs isn't it? An objectively good manager who has really moved the club a step forward on the pitch but has a serious temperament issue that has started to show through his players. Ultimately, it's stopping Arsenal from really going a step further and mounting more than...

    [Music] Oasis - 2025

    The odd ticket still available for a lot of the dates. If anyone wants to go to Glasgow you can pick up a ticket for four times the original cost!
