    No. It's official when the thread title is edited to include "Singed [insert date]". My fingers are poised. Providing it's not another Pritchard (dick) situation of course.

    Because the opposition’s defenders win almost every defensive header?

    That's odd. I have a mate who is a STH at Stuttgart. He reckons he's shitehouse.

    I'm not fit enough to be a ref.

    [Film] Ned Beatty RIP

    I think you may be forgetting that a mod has the ability to hard delete any post, making them entirely disappear from the record and, crucially, from the total number of posts on a thread. That would be a clear abuse of power though. :whistle: Perhaps I should become a ref?

    I'll take cash money to lock the thread right now.

    Mods can delete &/or edit posts. The ‘reply with quote’ functionality makes it a real PITA to erase all record of a post (even if one were so inclined to do so) as one has to delete the OP and then manually edit every reply that quotes it (deleting the OP content while leaving the reply). This...

    [Albion] Bloom: "Top 10... is a very realistic aim for next season"

    I note with interest the many posters who do not equate the word ‘aim’ (particularly when clarified with ‘very realistic’) with the word ‘expectation’. I am pondering on the difference. While they are clearly not completely synonymous, there’s not a huge gap, at least in my mind. Captain: ‘Aim...

    [Albion] Bloom: "Top 10... is a very realistic aim for next season"

    Well, if you combine the "very realistic aim" to finish in the top 10 with his statements in the same video about reducing the losses through transfer dealings, one could be forgiven for concluding he's essentially saying "I want more for less", which is...interesting.

    [Misc] Things your parents said that surprised you

    That's the ad that prompted the outburst. Mum got extremely agitated. My partner started laughing out loud at her.

    [Misc] Things your parents said that surprised you

    Dad (RIP) in about 1990: "That? Oh, I got that after we were shot down over N Vietnam". He was in the RAF. Mum (last night): "I hate Claudia Winkleman. I could shoot her. I hate, hate, hate her". She (my mother) is the most mild-mannered person I know.

    [Albion] Do you think we’ll be top ten by the end of next season

    If we keep Lallana & Welbeck (as off the bench options); Potter, Sanchez, and Dunk; one of Biss and White; get the majority of the season out of March and Lamptey, and sign a striker who is modestly successful, then I think we could - though it would still be a bit of a stretch. The more we...

    [Albion] Bloom: "Top 10... is a very realistic aim for next season"

    Prior to watching that video, I'd have agreed that Bloom would probably have settled for 12-13 next season. However, he doesn't strike me as the sort of chap who would take failure to achieve a "very realistic aim" that he has announced publicly very well. I wonder if you've just effectively...

    [Albion] Bloom: "Top 10... is a very realistic aim for next season"

    Apologies if I've missed this, but TB is now on record as saying that a top 10 finish is a "very realistic aim" for the upcoming season. He makes it clear that the real aim is consistently to be in the top 10, but I've never heard anyone at the club say it could be as soon as next season...

    [Other Sport] Anyone been white water rafting?

    Just outside Whistler, BC. Several times, grades 3-5. Utterly brilliant. Always exhilarating, always very tiring, frequently scary.

    [Humour] Covid contract for firm run by Cummings friends was unlawful, judge rules.

    What is the difference between unlawful and illegal? One is unlawful, the other is a sick bird.
