    [Football] Jurgen Klopp ….stepping down at end of 23/24 season

    The report I saw included this quote from Klopp: “When we sat there together talking about potential signings, the next summer camp and can we go wherever, the thought came up: ‘I am not sure I am here then any more,’ and I was surprised myself by that. I obviously start thinking about it." I...

    [Other Sport] The Wrestling Thread

    On a less unsettling note... I've taken to watching Stevie Richards youtube videos where he analyses matches or moves etc, breaking them down, showing where they went right, where they went wrong, etc. I'm finding it really interesting thinking about some things I'd not considered or different...

    [Other Sport] The Wrestling Thread

    This article also includes a copy of the legal filing. It is probably prudent to note it only names Vince McMahon and John Laurenaitis. Other names appearing on social media are speculation of the identity of someone known in the document as 'WWE superstar'. link to local news site The...

    [Football] Carabao Cup semi-finals

    Bit late to note this, given the game is almost over, but... However, official word is there was some congestion, but no crushing occurred.

    Given how they turned on him at the end of his first stint with them, surely it should be "you either live long enough to see yourself become the villain, then the returning hero, then the villain again...'

    [Albion] Positives from Tonight (Wolves)

    I'd say Buonanotte's header on the goal line was the best chance either side had, but even if you don't think it was, it was good enough a chance that it stops their's being the best 'by far'.

    [Albion] Ivan Toney: clever or cheating?

    Article in response to the news that Forest intend to write to the PGMOL. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/22/premier-league-nottingham-forest-brentford-jonathan-wilson

    [Albion] Ivan Toney: clever or cheating?

    The forest argument is that it was part of the goal, so should fall under the purview of the VAR. I think the problem is two fold - one, there was still time for the wall to be adjusted, it's a dead ball situation, so is it a case of a new phase of play when the ball is kicked and now is in...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion v Wolverhampton Wanderers *** SCORE PREDICTOR ***

    I've already made my pick (2-2 on the basis that the pattern of our last two games was 6-0, 4-1 (score two less, concede one more)). But am now thinking - saturday each game had 5 goals (5-0 and 3-2). Today's games had 4 goals (2-2 and 4-0). So tomorrow's game will have 3 goals. Which leaves...

    [Albion] Premier League 20-22/1/24

    Quite. I don't know if it is a failing of VAR or the fans. It was a feature of all the articles when it was introduced, and it has been repeated many times, that VAR are constantly reveiwing things that fall in their remit (goals, penalties, red cards, mistaken identity). So fans should know...

    [Albion] Potter- what’s he up to?

    That 12 game run included 11 games against teams in the top 9. When Roy took over he had one game against the top 9 (they lost). I think most of us fully expected Vieira would have picked up the wins that Roy did once they got past that horrid run of fixtures.

    [Albion] Premier League 20-22/1/24

    I dunno. I think Palace might prefer a brentford win. If it's a draw or a Forest win, forest go above Palace, and Brentford are below, but crucially, Brentord would have a game in hand on Palace so could win that and then both end up above them when games played is even. Whereas if Brentford...

    [Albion] Potter- what’s he up to?

    If we're only looking at premier league games, Newcastle, Man U and Bournemouth this season were three consecutive wins (there was a europa league loss between Man U and Bournemouth)

    [Albion] Premier League 20-22/1/24

    One kit is red and whit tops, black shorts. The other looks to be a peach and dark blue combo. Why am I struggling to tell them apart?
