    [Albion] Dunk to Leicester City?

    Lewis Dunk is definitely the more marketable of our two centre backs, he can ping a pass all over the place. Duffy is more of a goal threat though, to be fair. They make a fantastic pair and I think the suggestion earlier in the threat that they'd be bought as a pair makes sense. Obviously, it's...

    [Albion] Press conference 4.30 today........

    A triumphant return to the ****ing brilliant football of Gustavo Poyet, featuring Mauricio Taricco and Charlie Oatway. :bowdown:

    [Football] Jonathan Wilson's article on Man City cup final.

    If Pereyra had taken the chance at 0-0, or the chance which Kompany blocked with his arm had flown past him, Watford might have taken a lead. Had they done so, and held it for more than 30 seconds, they might have had a chance of an alamo style defensive performance. As it was, City took them...

    [Albion] Retained List

    Why was Bong's contract allowed to be extended prior to the end of season? I don't get that one, unless he had a clause whereby if he made a certain number of appearances, he automatically got another year. If that was the case, fair enough. But now a new manager is stuck with him.

    [NSC] New Banner Motto - the POLL

    Are you suggesting that (based on current poll numbers) the votes of 88 people out of 246 voters ISN'T enough to be considered a big enough majority? I think you'll find some hard right wingers kicking off about that suggestion! Poll result means poll result. :thumbsup: (But only if...

    [Football] Who did the bookies pay out on as City's second goalscorer yesterday?

    Looks already in, to me. Goal poaching is pathetic, Sterling should be ashamed of himself. Stealing a goal from Gabriel Jesus like that is pathetic. He needn't have bothered as it turned out, he would get to scuff in a couple of his own. I know the narrative around Sterling has changed now, and...

    Magnificent footballer, next season will shut everyone up. :thumbsup:

    [Albion] Amazing insight from sky pundit charlie nicholas on who we should sign upfront

    Now, to be fair, when Barnes played for us it was outside of the Premier League. Therefore, there's really no reason why someone like Charlie Nicholas would be aware of it. He, of all the pundits, strikes me as the most ignorant of football outside of the Premier League. He shows almost no...

    [Albion] The day Hughton won back the fans...but lost the backing of Bloom

    No, Firmino was a Brendan Rogers signing. I agree with your post though - it's quite obvious where the weaknesses in our team are, but the question is whether we sign the players to play a style, or appoint a manager and play to theirs whether the fans like it or not. Makes the early part of...

    [NSC] New Banner Motto - the POLL

    I think the consensus has changed a little bit when people were told the origin of Were Loose. But it is quite ironic that a poll is happening despite the outcome of the previous poll to deny the need for a further poll. I wonder how much precedent can be drawn from this situation!

    [Football] Football and mental health

    You really are part of the problem, Beach Seagull. Mental health is not comparative, it's not a competition. It doesn't matter how much money you have, as in Danny Rose's case. Everyone is in their own balance, which can tip either way very suddenly. And I say that as someone trying to tip the...

    [Albion] The day Hughton won back the fans...but lost the backing of Bloom

    Izquierdo certainly wasn't - or was he? Has my memory already collapsed?! Apologies if so, I assumed Izquierdo was already out of the picture by that time. His absence this season has been a real shame, it's not really been mentioned too much but I do think if he'd been fit, he'd have played a...

    [Albion] The day Hughton won back the fans...but lost the backing of Bloom

    Jahanbakhsh, rather than Izquierdo. Played woefully out of position, in case that hasn't previously been mentioned. :thumbsup:

    [Other Sport] Top Flouncing (tennis)

    My favourite is his trashing of Murray's record against Djokovic, it's well known how friendly Kyrgios and Murray are so it's quite tongue in cheek - but it is true. It's just that other people won't say these things. I think he probably needs to get his head screwed on, but showing emotion on...

    [Albion] Latest England Squad

    You think Sterling is Man City's top player?! I wouldn't even have him in the top 5. He's deadly from 6 yards, hence his 20odd goals this season but he's hardly a top player. Totally anonymous at the Amex, unlike the brilliant Silvas, and then you have to remember Aguero, De Bruyne, Laporte...

    Obviously a class above Dale Stephens, if the deal is right then he would be a good signing.

    [Other Sport] Top Flouncing (tennis)

    He's one of the highlights of going to Wimbledon now, he can make outrageous shots and also have brilliant tantrums. He loves the attention but I do worry about the effect it's having on him mentally. He gave an interview slagging off Nadal, Djokovic and Murray a couple of days ago...

    ***Worlds Hardest Creature VII, 2014 Group D***

    Not really the point, for sure - but I've never met an unattractive woman called Jess. For that reason, I say do whatever she's asking and tap into that 100k fanbase they may or may not have!

    [Other Sport] Baseball season 2019

    I was in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, and went to see the Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1. It was the coldest experience I've ever known at a sporting event, my friends and I were likened to airplane crash survivors huddled together for warmth. For some reason, that's not the tagline...

    It was a fully formed thought, no risk the poster is a Trump.
