    [Cricket] Ashes 2021-22

    Jason Roy hardly plays a four day game for Surrey that's why he got found out in Test cricket. Burns is by far a better Test cricketer as is Pope and there County averages prove the point. It's horses for courses. The problem is the County Championship is poor and the better players aren't...

    [Football] Premier League to Go Ahead

    The Premier League was always going to go ahead as they can't afford to piss off the TV companies and the financial clout that goes with it. Be interesting if Boris poo-poos the PL decision with a lockdown or will games just revert back to being played behind closed doors with fourteen fit...

    [Cricket] Ashes 2021-22

    The performances to date show just how under prepared England are for the tour and most important how weak the County Championship has become with fixtures sandwiched in between the lucrative limited over game. Players like Burns and Pope score shed loads in the four day game but look like...

    [Albion] That has to be the end of Potter?

    Potter is doing the best he can with the players he has. We all know the biggest issue is a lack of goals, is that GP's fault or the fault of our recruitment or the fault of our budget. I know no wins in eleven is awful but in that we have had some excellent performances during this spell...

    [Albion] Will we finish higher than 13th?

    I've voted no for one reason only, our lack of goals make wins incredibly hard to find. Shame as for me we aren't far from being a top half side.

    [Cricket] Ashes 2021-22

    Two okay sides, the Aussies have the edge with a slightly better seam bowling attack and a quality spinner in Lyon. However the big difference is Steve Smith as much a Root is good Smith is just different gravy.

    [Cricket] Could the Ashes in Australia be delayed by 12 months?

    Shame Paine may be the best Aussie keeper but his batting is weak at Test Level. From quotes Cummings is only captain in name, Smith will be making most of the on field decisions. Can't think of many quick bowlers who have been good Test captains. I fear we will get a dicking (No Paine...

    [Cricket] T20 World Cup

    Mills does seem expensive in his economy rate, great at knocking over the tail. I think Wood might of got a recall either way. Curran hasn't had a game yet he constantly bowls well in T20 / The Hundred.

    [Albion] Shane Duffy - 100 Premier League appearances.

    Always thought Duffy was a great defender but not so great with his football skills and his "Toblerone Boots" however yesterday I was eating humble pie as Shane was cool, calm and collected on the ball and very accurate with his passing. He is clearly working hard at adapting to Potterball but...

    [Albion] Team for this Wednesday…against Leicester in that Cup match

    Start strong and see how it pans out. Well that's what I hope I've taken a couple of days off for this.

    [Albion] anyone up for an OFFICIAL fan boycot of the Brentford boxing day game ???

    I do like your positivity but personally for me and the late kick off I'm totally screwed. I'm a non driver who travels home and away by train, on the odd occasion my lovely wife will drive but I can't expect her to forego Boxing Day for my love of the Albion so I'm probably both unable to...

    Thanks, nothing much further North than Haywards Heath.

    [Albion] anyone up for an OFFICIAL fan boycot of the Brentford boxing day game ???

    Out of curiosity what is the furthest North the club runs coaches. I live in Caterham and don't drive, previous years Nurse Gladys has driven but I can't expect her to forego a drink the whole of Boxing Day.

    [Albion] anyone up for an OFFICIAL fan boycot of the Brentford boxing day game ???

    After the rubbish of the European Super League I am delighted that things have changed and the authorities are now thinking long and hard about the supporters! Tossers!

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    Can't see much changing between now and the opening of the January window with the exception of Steve Bruce departing and a foreign manager coming in. Be interesting to see who they sign, I really can't see the likes of Kane going to Newcastle, I'm sure the money on offer will be huge but a lot...

    [Football] What Idiot smoked on the train

    Trains were terrible in both directions with a series of cancellations. Make sure you get your delay and repay forms completed. The delays forced me to drink far too much beer at Cambridge both at lunchtime and in the evening, great pub next to Cambridge station.

    [Albion] Liverpool Allocation

    No fair way of allocating tickets for away games. Controversial I know but how many in the top band of loyalty points buy tickets for a third party and don't attend in person? I will be honest in our small group who do most games home and away we have a new member a STH for three years now...

    [Football] Worst away end you have been in watching footy.

    Upstairs at Loftus Road you can't see the goal at your end. At the back of the stand at Goodison Park you can't see the far touchline. And of course Selhurst Park couldn't see the far quarter of the pitch.
