    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    Seen a couple of "falling over" comments again and here to say that he was our most fouled player per 90 mins last season and the 9th most fouled per 90 mins across the whole league. Similar players above him include, Ayew, Olise, Kudus and Grealish. Joao Pedro is the 10th most fouled player in...

    [Albion] What the f*** has happened to the Albion website???

    Highly unlikely, almost certainly unlikely. It would mean all of the expensive NFC terminals in the ground that require Google Wallet/Apple Pay would be useless and they'd need to revert back to QR codes (which are used as a back up). So in short, no it won't be.

    [Albion] What the f*** has happened to the Albion website???

    It's a really good upgrade on desktop, mobile and app. Obviously, like most of the internet, if you're struggling along expecting <5mbps to be able to quickly load websites, it's only going to get worse.

    [Albion] Japan pre season

    Club said earlier this summer that they were working to sort out rights and expect it to be streamed one way or another to fans in the UK. At this point I’d imagine YouTube or the club website, but it may still be on Prime as per Japanese coverage.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    But surely if you want a better economy, and most importantly, growth, then getting expendable cash into people's hands is one of the only ways to do it. it is important that any uplift isn't just there to cover essential outgoings but can go back to those businesses in the form of purchases. By...

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Money follows the winners. There's no point in trying to curry favour with a party who are not going to be in power is there? and it was very clear from almost day one that only one party was going to have a (vast) majority in this parliament. It's up to Labour to try and not bend to the wants...

    [Football] World Cup 2026

    Nothing says suitable for an international tournament more than having a history of tactically setting teams up in a way that statistically seems to minimise their ability to score and never getting further than a quarter final in respected cup competitions (no offence to the Svenska Cupen).

    [Albion] Albion kit 2024/25 - official thread

    I like it. It'll be massive with the Blokecore trend crowd. Very gen z cool vibe. At the same time, it'll look dreadful on anyone who isn't in their twenties and slim.

    [Albion] Albion kit 2024/25 - official thread

    11/12 (Errea) or 17/18 (Nike) for me as the best. 17/18 is the almost perfect Albion shirt. Right colour of blue, loads of stripes, gold Nike tick, flair arms.

    [Cricket] *** England v West Indies, Lords, 1st Test. Farewell to Sir Jimmy Anderson ***

    I personally think he should've been given the summer as a farewell tour for emotional reasons but then I guess the argument is that he's not only not going to make Australia in 25/26 but he's also not going to make Pakistan and New Zealand this winter so why not bring different bowlers in as...

    [Cricket] *** England v West Indies, Lords, 1st Test. Farewell to Sir Jimmy Anderson ***

    I mean this genuinely, but what has the marketing of County Cricket got to do with the downfall of the West Indies Test team? My response about money being the answer was about the dreadful drop off of the West Indies. Unless you get enough money into the Test playing nations that aren't India...

    [Cricket] *** England v West Indies, Lords, 1st Test. Farewell to Sir Jimmy Anderson ***

    Yep. Lords prices have gone up extraordinarily this year across the board and with no chance of either test making it to day 5, there's little opportunity to get there. And in fairness, it sells out - just prices out people like me (who, as a fully employed Londoner, it really shouldn't). I did...

    [Cricket] *** England v West Indies, Lords, 1st Test. Farewell to Sir Jimmy Anderson ***

    All really spot on here. The answer is money of course. And unless there is a fairer distribution of it in test cricket then the game will be doomed to fail (or at least, be a smaller symbolic competition between 4 teams). The World Test Championship was the right first step, but its...

    [Cricket] *** England v West Indies, Lords, 1st Test. Farewell to Sir Jimmy Anderson ***

    Very emotional listening to Jimmy speak for the last time now. What a player, what a man. His longevity is so remarkable that I modelled my action on his as an 11 year old. I'm 30 now and haven't played in a decade. The fact he's still able to perform at the highest level is just unbelievable...

    [Cricket] *** England v West Indies, Lords, 1st Test. Farewell to Sir Jimmy Anderson ***

    You'd be quite annoyed if you paid £195 (for a normal ticket) to see Anderson's final Saturday in test cricket, only to have the match last less than 50% of the allocated time.

    [Football] Euros 2024 - Semi Final - Netherlands vs England

    What an absolutely brilliant moment. Out of interest, how early did they stick the game on? I've only seen footage of the final whistle so imagine it was after the goal was scored? Would've been carnage for the Watkins goal if shown.

    [Football] To all the Southgate haters / wrong again and again and again **SOUTHGATE NOW RESIGNED**

    I cannot believe some of the negativity towards the England manager on this thread after last night. First major tournament final on foreign soil in the nation's history, and people are still yearning for someone like Pochettino to ride in 😂

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Don't worry, as Nigel will soon find out, he's not going to get to participate much in Prime Ministers Questions. He'll get one question at each of the opposition day debates, and seeing as the majority of Opposition parties that aren't the Conservatives, see themselves as left of the current...

    [Politics] The French election

    I actually agree with you for the most part here but I think the Conservative party stands at a fork in the road right now. If they can rebuild a viable opposition with someone like Hunt or Tugendhat as their leader, then they'll have done exceptionally well to fend off the right of their party...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    They have ruled out increasing income tax. They have also however, said that they are not going to raise the income tax thresholds until 2028 at least. This will mean, as wages and prices rise with inflation, the point in which we pay tax will not. It's a clever middle ground that avoids...
