    [Misc] Best Flag - Union Jack or Le Tricolore?

    I learned French for 5 years from Tricolore. My French is decent enough, but nothing like my ability to be able to give directions to any significant buildings in La Rochelle.

    [Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

    As a former Horshamite, I always look out for it and seem to remember it usually being around 1-3am. It has however always been a fairly large Tory win. The fact that it's going to be close this year, with the Lib Dems having a very realistic chance of edging the tories out, might mean that...

    [Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

    I intend to go and vote at 9-45pm. That way I’ll get back home just before 10 when the exit poll is announced, and it’ll be as if they were waiting for me to cast my ballot and have an instant effect on democracy. I then intend to be up until the early hours watching dozens of tories that I’ve...

    [Albion] Brian Aguirre

    Not as good as the huge cocks that are on this year’s France shirt.

    [Albion] Edmund Baidoo

    Young African player currently developing in Norway. I'd be surprised if we weren't mentioned as interested to be honest.

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    Steele is an ideal back-up keeper for us: he's happy to sit on the bench every week, but is someone who has enough experience that we can trust to do an ok job on the few occasions he's called upon. That is the reason we bought him 6 years ago.

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    I don't think 20m is unrealistic. Would there be many complaints if we added that to the Undav fee and brought in a 40m midfielder for net cost of £0 and the loss of 2 players that weren't even in last year's squad?

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    I seem to be the only person on NSC that thinks that cashing in on Rushworth is a good idea if the price is right. It looks almost certain that Bart is our number-one keeper, and he's a year younger than Rushworth. There's literally no point in having Rushworth wasting a season as back up when...

    [Football] Beer luzzed at Southgate

    Perspective: two empty plastic beer cups were thrown. We've seen players taking corners having dozens of plastics chucked at them by opposing fans in a number of matches, but it wouldn't surprise me if UEFA highlight this incident this as the reason for banning beer drinking in the seats and...

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    [Albion] Relegation?

    Probably why our odds are currently the same as those of West Ham and Chelsea, and the betting market considers that there are 11 teams more likely to go down, including Man City. I accept that there's the FFP factor for City and Chelsea.

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    That was the Lallana interview game, wasn't it? I have a feeling that there was stuff going on behind the scenes in that week that we're never likley to hear about.

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    I think RDZ was just stubborn on this matter. Bart was clearly a far better keeper than Steele and he got his first international cap months before he even signed for us. Steele at this point had played 16 PL games in his entire career. If anything, the constant rotation did him more harm...

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    This was a question that was asked by a large proportion of our fanbase an hour before KO every other week last season.

    [Politics] Tactical Voting at the General Election

    They do deserve 100 seats to represent their voters. However, we can be thankful that 100 MPs on their own won't give them any legislative power in a parliament of 650. Our wonderful FTFP system gave the current lot unchecked power for 5 years despite only winning 43.6% of the popular vote in 2019.

    [Politics] Tactical Voting at the General Election

    Well, they're certainly not going to be governing in the next parliament. They do however deserve the 60-70 seats that their 10-11% popular vote is predicted to give them, and it should at least make them 3rd biggest party and raise the profile enough that the leader at the next GE doesn't have...

    [Misc] Cold Turkey on Caffeine

    Interesting and in-depth stuff. Made me realise though, in addition to the physical aches and pains, my urge to go out and kill sabre-toothed tigers has really fallen off a cliff over the last 5-6 days.

    [Misc] Cold Turkey on Caffeine

    Bloody hell, how many shots do you get into a thermos?! Must be well over 10, even for a smallish flask. I reckon I was averaging about 4-5 shots a day plus a can or 2 of diet Coke and my withdrawal effects have been bad enough, so that must've been horrendous for him.

    [Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

    Absolutely there would. Cameron made a massive error of judgement on calling the Brexit referundum when he did and not really campaigning effectively, but other than that he was a far better PM than any of his 4 successors in the next 8 years. Whilst I may not have agreed with everything he...

    [Misc] Cold Turkey on Caffeine

    This is approximately what I intend to drink once I've finished my cold turkey experiment, which I'm planning on doing for another week. One single in the morning, the whole process of which is the best coffee of the day, and one at some other point sometime before 1pm. I'm also giving up diet...
