    [Albion] I Just Don’t Care Anymore

    The thing is, the offside rule is such an easy fix with VAR, in a way that many could get on board with. It just blows my mind that there are people being paid 6 figures who still think this is the way forward.

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    The bigger issue with the boats is how we’re dealing with them, or not dealing with them, as is the case with the Tories. As for the people on the boats, they aren’t illegal immigrants, which is a Tory coined phrase. They are people whose status is yet to be decided.

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    Let’s be honest, this isn’t just an attack on the poor, it’s an attack on immigrants who were continually told are stealing all our money. So rather than Sunak and his govt doing anything about the issues at the root, he just lays the blame at the feet of the most vulnerable. This party is...

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    I’d love to know where these GPs are. I thought they were an endangered species.

    [Albion] Are YOU falling out of love with Roberto De Zerbi?

    A valid point, but one that overlooks the context needed, I would argue. There’s a reason wide forwards often play on their wrong foot now, and it’s because it has them going towards goal rather than staying wide, away from it. March is good cover on the left, but he’s never been a natural out...

    [Albion] Are YOU falling out of love with Roberto De Zerbi?

    The key difference is position. March is predictable as a left winger, but fine as an overlapping left back. Where he’s at his best is as an inverted right sided forward. The stats back that up, and anyone that knows anything about football can see it. Quite frankly, it’s amazing it took as...

    [Albion] Are YOU falling out of love with Roberto De Zerbi?

    Interesting. So our transfer policy changed just for him, in your opinion, and in some specific situations, that just happen to fit your narrative?

    [Albion] Are YOU falling out of love with Roberto De Zerbi?

    Do you honestly believe he picked them? Based on how we recruit, do you honestly believe he got this without approval from absolutely everyone?

    We’ll agree to disagree 👍

    [Albion] I Just Don’t Care Anymore

    I’m around your age and feel similar. Like you, it started during COVID. Some of mine is frustration about some dealings I had with the club directly, but much of it is to do with what football’s becoming and what our club is becoming whilst in the Prem. But more than anything, I think it’s...

    [Albion] Are YOU falling out of love with Roberto De Zerbi?

    No, I’m miles from that. The bigger concern is the squad building that took place last summer that’s left us, unsurprisingly, found wanting. I personally think RDZ has overachieved across the whole season with the resources he’s been given, the sales that were made, and the injuries we’ve had.

    [Albion] Oh Bart !!

    Sorry, but I’m not seeing your point. You think he can’t have picked the ball up, I get that. But what’s the issue with him using his hands or body to block the ball with the attacker coming down on him? Or you don’t think it was an error?

    [Albion] Oh Bart !!

    It’s not that if it’s a save though, is it. Which is what that would be. He could’ve used his body to block the attacker too.

    [Albion] Oh Bart !!

    I’m all for going all in with Bart, but it’s a mistake in anyone’s book. Of course, the bigger mistake was Baleba’s, but he really should’ve been going with his hands there. Either way, I’d prefer he gets this experience this year when we’re basically safe.

    [Football] Not good enough

    I said something very similar the other day. I think the difference is that RDZs football requires more specific characteristics in some positions and it requires players to take more risks. Potter’s football was more controlled and less reliant on individual brilliant and pace in wide areas...

    [TV] Fallout

    I just watched the first episode with the wife who’s a nurse. It’s excellent, but she says the same thing everytime this happens.

    [Football] Graham potter turns down Ajax ...

    That’s a lot of revisionism for one post. The last year/18 months under CH in the Prem were an awful experience. I mean truly awful. The standard of football was horrible, the style was awful, we set up so negatively and hoped for a draw every game. There was no pace anywhere to be seen, no...

    [Albion] RDZ’s mentality and ‘balls’

    Too positive? Or too lacking in ball questioning?
