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

    Nimona. A knight (Riz Ahmed) in a futuristic society is framed for the murder of the Queen and he has to team up with a shapeshifting monster (Chloe Grace Moretz) to find justice and clear his name. It was so fun. A different animation style than Disney (though to be fair, Disney have tried to...

    [Film] Favourite film of 2023

    I've watched a few more since last weekend. Infinity Pool (Sky) - Eh body horror from Brandon "Son of David" Cronenberg. Huesera: The Bone Woman (Shudder) - Decent mexican body horror about women, motherhood and choice How To Have Sex (Mubi) - Indie Brit movie following three girls on a club...

    [Albion] Mahmoud Dahoud (Loaned to VfB Stuttgart 31/01/24)

    Is there more on this available than has been confirmed on here? I've seen the comments from Naylor about De Zerbi telling Dahoud he expected more, but not seen anything about Dahoud's reaction. Isn't it possible that not using him yesterday was about sending a sign about the seriousness, or...

    Rotation, like with Steele and Bart.

    [Football] No VAR

    People still celebrate goals. The delay is in the restart after the goal is scored and the celebration has died down (and that results in a secondary celebration after a nervy period - either from the ream that scored and had the goal confirmed, or the one that conceded to see it ruled out). It...

    [Albion] Player Names - Have We Had This Before?

    I'm sure we have, but none spring to mind... With Hinchy and Hinshelwood on the pitch, can anyone think of other examples of a player whose name sounds like a nickname of a team mate To be clear, I mean a basic shortening and suffix adding of -o, -y etc, not a convoluted "Oh yeah, Lallana once...

    [Albion] Stoke City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    There was a thread a few weeks back which was about, or the conversation evolved to, diving. I mentioned that he is one of our players that goes down dramatically and feigns injury a lot. Most people ignored the post, there was only one response and that was a steadfast denial that he does it...

    [Football] Sunderland v Newcastle

    Refs are only concerned with whether they and their assistants can tell the players apart, so I presume it's not a problem for them in person. It's interesting to think if there would have been an issue if VAR was in use, if it's an clash for people watching on TV.

    [Food] Favourite/ least favourite tv/celeb Chef ?

    I think I like most of them. I used to watch a lot of the food network and good food, it would be what I'd put my TV on when there wasn't anything in particular I want to watch. There are very few whose recipes I've tried I have enjoyed. I like picking up some techniques and approaches, but any...

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    When I saw the news about Olise I just assumed it was one of those instances you get where main players are reported as "injured" before a cup game when the manager wants to pplay a weakened team without admitting that's what they are doing. See also 'fixture pile up means he is tired and I need...

    [Misc] Ghislaine Maxwell

    Doubt it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67865190 People will probably be disappointed by a list of 'who?'s and''didn't we already know that?'s When ordering the release of the list, New York Judge Loretta Preska said many of those named in the lawsuit had already been identified by...

    [Albion] Premier League 30/12/23 - 2/1/24

    I think this is something that referees were concerned about. But it just seem to make sense to me. Authorities seem to think that by having the referee look at the video, they are avoiding "re-refereeing the game". But they're not, are they? The very nature of VAR means the referee makes a...

    [Film] Film 2024

    I love a good superhero movie, and can usually enjoy the bad ones (though my tolerance of the bad ones has reduced now we get so many and it's clear how good they can be), I keep up with all the Disney+ series etc. I don't think they are going away (especially since Marvel Studios exists mainly...
