    [Albion] Which of these pleases you the most?

    Points ahead of bottom 3 without question. IMO league position only really takes over once the prospect of relegation is gone

    [Football] Everton v Watford - what result do you want?

    I'd go Draw, Everton, Watford Once Everton get their man and are active in January they'll get going. I don't really see Watford pulling far enough away to be thinking about anything other than survival. A home defeat today might spark the decline that I can see happening at some point, the...

    [Albion] Views sought on upcoming Palace fixture

    What chance of the Transport Manager giving advance warning of timings so we can plan travel?

    [Albion] What will be the Magic number of points to survive in the PL?

    Of course Huddersfield (and Burnley) have done it and so will others but we'll start each of those games as 2nd favourites and my reasoning was that in order to see how current form would extrapolate to end of season it might be more sensible to assume 0 points from those remaining 10 fixtures...

    Yea you'd think so but many/most don't. Banks were indiscriminate, if they thought you had equity in a house they would load you up regardless of your ability to repay. Next stop credit crunch. I took the decision to get out of an industry I'd spent 30 years in as I hated what we were doing to...

    I worked in banking all my life and mostly on the cards/loans side and let me assure you they (the banks) were responsible. They target those in the most need with seductive offers with promises that they'll make everything good. Most sensible people would see through it but there's a large...

    [Albion] What will be the Magic number of points to survive in the PL?

    It's unlikely we'll get anything from the top 6, if that were the case then our current form gets us to 39

    [Albion] What will be the Magic number of points to survive in the PL?

    You'd get splendid odds on that

    Well 'they' is a variable but a lot of my business was the poor end of banking and I never ceased to be horrified by how much (of real disposable) was spent on lottery tix, scratch cards and Sky (often more than 100%). Thankfully I got away from it some years ago but I've no doubt that the same...

    High street bookies are just the tip of the iceberg. Online is (so called) regulated but they are regulating the wrong things. I'd go along with some affordability checks although I'm not sure it could be made practical

    Fairly simple 1. To win 2. To recover losses One thing leads to another, they are horrid things. But I'm not sure legislation is the right answer ... I've known many people 'go bust' on sports betting and have had to deal with people ruined by scratch cards and lottery tickets. Gambling as...

    [Albion] Mill road P&R

    The club do have a Full Time Transport Manager and 4/5 years ago he thought the (suggested) idea of meeting up with a group of fans who use different methods to get to and from the ground was a great idea. Take feedback, kick around ideas and explore the practical ones in more detail. Of course...

    [Albion] The next 5 games

    If we're going to win any more away games this season then I'd have thought Swansea would be our #1 target 3, 3, 0, 1, 0

    [Football] QPR Ruling

    One thing for sure is that they won't be paying that sort of money. I suspect it'll drag on another 3 years before they agree some undisclosed and probably token compromise. Still not really sure where the money go's. Last I heard it was charity but with FL clubs, particulalry those in lower...

    [Albion] With only 2 fit strikers...

    Murray, Hemed on for 25 mins, although imagine CH will give him 10. Confident both will be seen

    [Albion] Upcoming run of games

    Is it too much to hope for a win v Stoke? I did a similar thing in cutting back expectations but given the current form of all those teams, (exc Man U) if you look at them in isolation there's 4 very winnable games
