    [Football] A genuine question - what did the UK gain from Indian occupation?

    Really? Which countries in particular are you referring to?

    [Football] An open letter from Graham Potter

    You seem very authoritative on this subject, however I was actually at that match and the boos were from a small fraction of the crowd and lasted about 5 seconds...

    [Football] A genuine question - what did the UK gain from Indian occupation?

    I genuinely can't think of a single country which can be considered to have benefited from British occupation, and I'm happy to be challenged on that. One of my beloved grandads was in the army helping to destroy the Turkish Empire during WW1 in Iraq and Palestine and look at the mess that...

    [Football] An open letter from Graham Potter

    "The timing however is extremely poor form, unprofessional, disrespectful and most disruptive". I 100% agree; a lot of people on here are falling over themselves to seem mature and reasonable about Potter unceremoniously dumping us, but supporting a football club is about passion and blind...

    [Football] An open letter from Graham Potter

    Yeah yeah Graham, whatever... you stitched us right up just as the club were getting somewhere. Goodbye and I hope Chelsea get relegated under you...

    [Albion] How would you feel about us poaching another team's manager?

    You can't blame Chelsea, but though I'm trying hard to be sensible I can't help but feel seriously pissed-off with Potter and Bruno, bailing-out just as we were making progress in this sh*tfest Premier League.

    [Albion] 29th October (or close to that) - the return of Potter

    Hopefully "three nil to the Albion"

    [Albion] 29th October (or close to that) - the return of Potter

    Sod that, he deserted us and his squad just as we were getting somewhere... a very loud BOO from me!

    [Albion] Judas or Genius

    Totally agree (though I think genius is pushing it a bit). Football is a ruthless business but I naively thought that G.Pott had greater integrity than to dump the club, his squad and the fans just as we were getting somewhere. The Chelsea franchise has regularly chewed-up and spat out far...

    [Albion] What is the point? (Warning: Probably being dramatic)

    Oh well, such is football. Hopefully G.Pott might stay and build his legend on the south coast, but chances are he will see this as a golden shot at the big time. He is very far from sure to succeed at Chelsea as he hasn't got the experience of managing big-time Charlies, nor CL football, and...

    [Albion] If you were Graham Potter and you were offered the Chelsea job would you take it?

    If I were G.Pott I would be loving life now: - working at a great club with great facilities - with a great chairman - the focus being on developing players (which is obviously his speciality) - come contract renewal he'll be getting a hefty pay-rise - wife and kids settled in a great house...

    [Politics] If there was a general election tomorrow

    Well congratulations...it's apathy like that which allows old Etonian buffoons (e.g. Cameron, Johnson and Rees-Mogg) to run the country badly for a while before they fall back on their trust funds and a bunch of well paid non-exec directorships...

    [Politics] If there was a general election tomorrow

    Well yes, but also a proportionate level of income tax for those who can afford to pay more, and tax regime that doesn't allow people like the Sunaks to offshore their tax status whilst enjoying all the benfits of UK life, and corporations paying a fair level of tax instead of paying outrageous...

    [Albion] Do you plan to go to the Palace match given the likely travel chaos?

    So based on this poll we can expect a gate of around 24,000... A lot of you saying you'll skip this one need to find a way; leave early and expect to get home late.

    So the grumpy old sods got their way, no fireworks today to wake them from their pre-match nap...
