    [Albion] EFL Trophy Quarter Final - Amex, Tuesday 9th January ko 7pm

    Plymouth? Luxury (said in a northern accent as per Monty Python). Midweek in January 2008 my parents forced me to go to the JPT match at Swansea wearing just flip flops and shorts.

    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    As of a couple of hours ago the petition stood at > 900k signatures. Apparently Alan Bates has declined an OBE until Vennels is stripped of her CBE, so keep piling in.

    I think that person(s) will most likely be found in the IT supplier, not the PO, but there may have been collusion between both.

    [Albion] What’s the worst away day in the 92?

    Whenever I go to Selhurst I feel compelled to burst into song - Oliver’s Army. I really would “rather be anywhere else than here today”. I don’t know why I keep going back: crap journey to a crap ground and a crap journey home.

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2023/24 Edition

    Don’t think they’ll be relegated as one of the teams in Div 2 has already dropped out.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Yes, though I don’t think it’s the first time Belgorod has been targeted. This “outrageous” attack by Ukraine has apparently triggered a Russian request for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council — on what basis I wonder?

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Whilst it’s sad to see more innocent civilians impacted by this war, hopefully it will generate more internal dissatisfaction with Putin’s regime. Ukraine needs to keep taking the war to Russia- individually these actions don’t amount to much but collectively they are symbolic and send a strong...

    [Albion] Manager from the past..............

    If it’s only an assistant we have to choose from then I reckon Charlie Oatway and / or Tanno would complement the RDZ temperament

    Sad news, lovely man and yes he was at the Caxton Arms book signing.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I don’t think Ukraine will accept peace talks at this time, but Zelensky seems increasingly under pressure due to waning western support and internal friction which, if true, will harden Putin’s resolve - unless the pressures on Putin are greater. Sanctions, falling gas and oil revenues, need...

    [Albion] James Milner

    As others have said, great performance last night, his best of the season. Must be great to have him in the squad: won everything, experienced and can pretty much play anywhere. I think he’s now only around 20 appearances short of the EPL record - he deserves to break it.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    It seems that Navaltny has been found, relocated to a new prison. I find it strange that he’s still alive. They could bump him off whenever they choose and I can’t work out why they don’t unless they’re worried about martyrdom.

    No need to apologise - the role of the Bosporus is relevant and the debate about it has been interesting and educational

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    There’s no way they should be sinking ships as they pass through the Bosporus, but is there any way that they can stop them leaving or entering the Black Sea? Probably not without a serious escalation. Hopefully they’ll be an increase in airborne attacks on the Russian Black Sea fleet and the...

    [Finance] WTF American Express?

    No doubt completely unrelated to hitting a target for an end of year bonus. The financial services sector is a master at that.
