    [Football] More possible FFP issues for Chelsea?

    In principle I agree 100%. Let them sod off and do their own thing, so we can all get on with running a proper, competitive, passionate, league. But I always worry sligtly about unintended consequences (no idea what they might be in this case).

    [Football] More possible FFP issues for Chelsea?

    Only tongue in cheek in terms of being based in Saudi. But I am sure they are manouvering to be involved in some way - and very obviously seeking to build one or two teams of overpaid, ethically challenged, ex-'superstars' that will be box office (eg have players that TV viewers in India and the...

    [Football] More possible FFP issues for Chelsea?

    This, I'm afraid, remains to be tested. they've made the rght noises. Which is good. But are yet to properly nail a really powerful club - one, say, owned by a petro-state or a well connected American Billionaire. I'm hearing increasingly sympathetic noises from the media towards the newly rich...

    [Albion] Get The f*** In!

    From what I have seen and heard from Palace fans, I'd say parts of the away section were probably joining in as well. No wonder it sounded loud.

    [Food] The Plant based burger

    I don't have a particular axe to Grind on this. I am not veggie, let alone vegan. I do think we need to collectively eat less meat and dairy, but I am not a massive fan of the obsession with trying to recreate meat, instead of concentrating on how tasty non-meat products can be. But, given what...

    [Food] Most important aspect of a roast dinner?

    I mean...it's ALL a bit 'meh' isn't it? I understand roast dinners are a tradition for many, and a good way to get the family around the table at least once a week. Which is important. But as food? Barely counts as cooking really. More an excercise in logistics. A lot of effort for little...

    [Albion] Valentín Barco **Season Loan To Sevilla 23/08/24**

    True up to a point... That point being when/if they get hit with a massive points deduction/transfer embargo for multiple breaches of FFP etc. They might end up wishing they had a SA wunderkid on the books when they are attempting to get promoted from league 2. (let me dream)

    [TV] The Tourist

    Really liked the first series. Original, engaging and thought provoking. Seems they should have left well alone and sounds like I might want to give this one a miss.

    All good. Just as long as you are not an investigative journalist, looking in the links between govermment, organized crime and the role of Malta as a global secrecy jurisdiction and tax haven. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_Caruana_Galizia It's all relative I guess, what 'safe' looks...

    [TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

    Trevor Noah's latest special on netflix is well worth it. (Mostly) funny with some very sound political observation along the way.
