    [Albion] The poll you love to hate

    Before a ball was kicked I was confident we would win. For that reason, and that reason alone, it's 2 points dropped for me and that's how I've voted. However, I accept that we looked very leggy, Burnley played above themselves, and Sanchez was way way busier than Pope, so in the end I'm...

    [Football] Thoughts on the ref today?

    I'm not sure any of them were looked at by VAR were they? I don't remember it if they were. In fact, if VAR did look at them surely that vindicates the ref's decisions and makes him look more competent, not less?

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here, because I haven't got any stats to back up my opinion ... but I'm gonna guess that all 20 EPL teams have made poor signings, why do you think we should be any different?

    [Football] Thoughts on the ref today?

    The officials were ok. Nothing more than that, but nothing less either. The only blatant uncontestable mistake was the push in Dunk's back that resulted in a free kick against him! No excuses there, that was terrible from both ref and lino. The other contentious decisions weren't cut and dried...

    [Albion] Well done Graham

    I have a hunch that a certain Mr Murray might have something to do with that? AC has been around the club for a number of years now and will have watched Glenn win countless free kicks by doing exactly that. Unfortunately, whilst Glen was an absolute master of his craft, young Aarron looks to...

    [Albion] Player ratings vs Tottenham (h)

    Sanchez 8 Solid with hands and feet, excellent performance, I no longer have knots in my stomach when balls come into our box. Veltman 7 Excellent again, not quite up to dizzy heights of his last 2 or 3 games, but at the price we paid he has to be the 2nd best signing we've made in the EPL...

    [Other Sport] New bathrooms

    If your son does decide to go down the plumbing route, advise him to go self employed. When he was younger, my Brother-in-Law qualified to be a plumber ... but took employment with the council. He was attracted to the so called 'job for life' attitude that abounded in those days. Big mistake...

    [Other Sport] New bathrooms

    Thanks Simmo. Interestingly, you've actually touched on my biggest concern over the whole project ... the timescales. I have an uncomfortable feeling that the timescale boundaries are being pushed in order to meet the deadlines. We continue to live in the house while they're working, so I get...

    [Other Sport] New bathrooms

    :lolol: Not quite, but fair to say we're not doing it on the cheap! The way I view it is we've lived here for nearly 13 years with the original bathroom and we'll probably have this new bathroom for another 13 years or so? Therefore, one heavyish refurb cost now ... when divided into 25+ years...

    [Music] Fairytale of New York - PC gone mad or correct decision?

    I haven't read a single post on this thread because I was just having a very quick troll through the thread titles to see if anything caught my eye before shooting off to bed ... and I saw this one, and felt the hairs on the back of my neck start to quiver as my heckles began to raise ...

    [Other Sport] New bathrooms

    I live in the West Midlands, so not really too helpful in terms of comparing pricing etc to either Yorkshire, Sussex or London, but this thread caught my eye due to its topicality for me. As it happens, we are actively in the middle of having a bathroom refurbishment right now! In fact two...

    [Football] Coventry New Stadium

    Not actually correct. I was at the shopping centre adjacent to the Ricoh only yesterday, and the process of swapping the seats away from Sky Blue still hasn't even begun, and the enormous Coventry City Club Badge is still in situ on the side of the building. In fact, from the outside, you would...

    [Albion] Player ratings Burnley Away

    Ryan - 6 No glaring errors, but failed to 'command' his area. Pope at the other end could teach Maty a thing or two, his command of the area was outstanding. Lamptey - 8.5 Yet another outstanding display from the little maestro. He has to stay injury free next season, he's fast becoming...

    [Albion] Jamie Carragher

    Should have had more England caps? Maybe he would have if he hadn't refused to join England squads unless he was guaranteed a starting place. That is serious bell-end behaviour. The reason he didn't get many caps was because he simply wasn't good enough, and his refusal to join England squads...

    [Albion] Player ratings vs Liverpool (h)

    Ryan - 6 Did OK, no errors, but conceded 3 goals and maybe could have got closer to Henderson's goal so can't give a higher mark. Lamptey - 8 Another excellent game, easily the best right back in the squad. Would have scored him higher if he hadn't let Salah get away from him for the third...

    [Help] Furlough Advice Required.

    I am no expert, but my son is concerned about his job at the moment and asked me today about how Furlough works and my wife resigned from her job as of yesterday when her month's notice ran out, so she too is looking into whether she can be 'furloughed'. We looked at the Martin Lewis website...

    Another vote here for H&J. I share their sense of humour, they generally make me laugh several times during the course of a show, their clear love of the beautiful game matches my own, and their knowledge and intelligence in a wide variety of topics shines through ... particularly from Paul...
