    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    People looking for a cup upset will be disappointed - the minnows go out, Cambridge march on. My personal favourite.

    [NSC] Vaccine passport required to enter Amex

    45seconds?? Jeez. Check my various Trip Advisor posts on Marrakech airport where I have frequently been held for upwards of 90seconds while they stare alternately at my face and passport and ask intrusive questions such as why am I there and what do I do for a living!

    [Other Sport] Djokovic held at airport

    Whether he is let in or deported and regardless of whether that's right or wrong, since when do Tennis Federations control international borders? Yes, he may have had paperwork from both organisations (state and national) telling him he could come into the country, but, at the end of the day...

    [Misc] Please listen to medical advice

    Sad news. We're all here to support you though. Reach out if you need any support through what must be the worst of times.

    [Albion] This transfer window has to be big

    This. With bells on. With bells and whistles on. With bells and whistles and wrapped in shiny paper with a bow. Do I not see the table position everyone else sees? Why spend big when the investment strategy (buy bargains, invest in the academy) is now starting to pay dividends in terms of...

    [Technology] Assistance required - wfh - extra screen

    Something not too dissimilar to this works. Check out eBay, etc if you want a cheaper 2nd hand version. Not endorsing this model in particular but this shows what is available for multi-screen on older laptops...

    [Albion] Was it a penalty or did Everton get lucky?

    There is certainly an argument for a new level of punishment which is awarding a goal plus something further (a penalty, a free kick from the edge of the box and/or a card). Should only be used for professional fouls that stop a goal (blatant handball, fouling goalie, violent conduct, etc)...

    [Albion] Chelsea away was....

    ...f**king hilarious!

    Is it time for Premier League players to strike??

    As with much of the stuff he's posted recently... Largely lacking in fact. Unless he has paid for the genetic sequencing of a sample with a private laboratory, no, he won't have been told even 'if' his PCR sample was sequenced (it's randomly sampled anyway) and certainly not what the results...

    Is it time for Premier League players to strike??

    Why do you persist is writing this utter codswallop? You are contradicting yourself never mind the collective scientific knowledge of the world's top epidemiologists & virologists. Just stop spouting utter bullshit on subjects you clearly know nothing about and stick to the football threads.

    Is it time for Premier League players to strike??

    Aggregated data is not covered under "patient confidentiality" and therefore total numbers/proportional split is shared centrally.

    Is it time for Premier League players to strike??

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts.

    Is it time for Premier League players to strike??

    If you don't the the Board, the posters, the mods and the owner then feel free to flounce again!

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    I would argue that TB has invested more strongly in permanent infrastructure (across all teams and the academy itself) than he has in temporary on-pitch glory. Had Tony spent all the money invested in long term stability, growth and other non-playing elements and thrown that money into the...

    [Football] Oldham ban fans for speaking out.

    Looking a lot like a full-blown repeat of the Blackpool saga with the owners entrenched in a position where they'd rather see their asset valueless than actually admit they were wrong. My brother was a season ticket holder at the Latics for a number of years and I joined him on a few occasions...

    [Misc] IF there's a Christmas lockdown - would you comply?

    This sums it all up really... No there won't be a christmas lockdown. It just won't happen. If there were it would not be the same as previous lockdowns. The sensible approach is limiting your circle. Meet with a few important people rather than a large group of strangers (or people you...

    FAO Amex Mask-Dodgers (Heads Up: NSFW)

    (Disclaimer... Not an epidemiologist but I am statistician with a background in mathematical modelling) Mutations are random changes to the genetic pattern. By definition "random" means it doesn't follow a rule like always going up or always going down - but those outcomes are always possible...

    [Football] Why fewer bums on seats at PL games?

    _and_Son went off to Uni this year so gave up ST. Went to one of the early games and felt *very* exposed by the lack of masking on the train, on the concourse and at our seats. Certainly not going to a game before Christmas.

    [Football] December Madness

    But it's not just about showing the game. It's about "marketing the product" and creating a sense of urgency (so lots of games happening whether or not they are all on TV) in the lead up to the prestige games on Boxing Day/New Years Day [supposedly] generating excitement (and presumably extra...
