    [Politics] The Labour Government

    If the future of our country relies on throwing your own minister under a bus to appease the likes of DP World, then I despair. The P and O scandal is just the tip of the iceberg regarding the behaviour of this corporate behemoth across the world. But apparently they, and others like them, are...

    [Albion] International call ups

    From the Beleba thread, it sounds like it is not so bad.

    You saw the one before that right? Even better. Cry a last place

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    What, apart from 'interviewing badly' (which is clearly a matter of opinion as I like what I've seen in general) do you specifically think makes her ill suited to be President? I've given a couple of reasons above why I think she would be a positive choice. What do you see as the downsides?

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    WWell, I'll make the mistake of taking this semi-seriously Obviously, like most on here, I don't have a vote, so clearly I have no 'legitimate reason' for voting for Harris. However... It's hard to really know from a distance what each person stands for. Campaigning in the US appears to be...

    [Albion] The high line is great

    I like a lot of what you say here. Not sure I am a fan of how you have said it. New manager, new system, many new players. I think saying 'lazy, cowardly, useless' about the players, even in the first half, is unfair. Fair enough about supporters though. I was sh*tting myself.

    [Albion] Brajan Gruda **SINGED 14 Aug 2024**

    Weirdly, it does. I thought the same. Was trying too hard and things went very wrong. But his positioning and attitude were good. I am pretty sure he'll be great, in time. I'd rather have someone young and talented, trying too hard than, well.. Locadia.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Live by the sword, die by the sword, I'm afraid. The labour right has spent the last 9 years focussing on personal attacks on those they oppose (within and beyond their own party), as opposed to developing a clear, inspiring vision for how to move the country forward. Now they can't be too...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

    It's basically Chelsea supporters in Brighton colours. 'We spent loads of money so why aren't we winning everything'

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

    Really not sure what people were expecting at the start of the season. What I was expecting was that we would take a while to settle given the poor end to last season AND the number of new players AND a new manager AND the fact that the new manager has never managed in any top flight league AND...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Ipswich Town *** Official Match Thread ***

    I'll get ahead of the game here. Two points dropped. Also. What IS it with goalies having a worldie against us ffs. (Still think we will win)

    [Albion] International call ups

    Yeah but we don't really do 'unquestioning patriotism' do we? Ironically it's one of the few things that make me proud to be British.

    [Misc] Moon Landing, are YOU are conspiracy theorist?

    I can't help thinking there must be a more efficient way to invent non-stick frying pans and velcro. But it's good we solved all the problems on earth before spending billions on going off to cause problems somewhere else.

    [Misc] Moon Landing, are YOU are conspiracy theorist?

    I voted 'fence'. But hear me out... In reality I do believe that the moon landings happened. But if I were going to choose a conspiracy theory to believe in, and defend, this would be high on the list. Here are a few thoughts: Faking the moon landings would be hardly less crazy than some of...

    [Albion] Have we, at some point in our seasons in the EFL/EPL, occupied every position between 1-92?

    Alphabetical ordering is just a convenient way of arranging all the teams at the start of a season. It doesn't actually define positions. In reality, before the first goal of a season is scored, we are both in every position and also not in every position. And every outcome is still possible...

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    Aye, that is probably true. Which begs the question of whether ducking the truth counts as sensible political pragmatism or political cowardice? Therein lies a whole new debate, but since this thread has stayed surprisingly reasonable so far, let's not go there!
