    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Got to love the Sunday Mirror. I lived right next door to Culdrose for three years and I have literally never heard of the village of 'Goonhusband' :p

    [Music] Do you like Coldplay

    Seems like this thread is quite short on people saying 'I really like them' So yes, I really really like them. Think they're excellent

    [Albion] Mohamed Camara

    That feeling when you see a thread on a potential new signing with loads of posts and then realise they're all weak puns......

    [Politics] US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

    If this is irony I apologise in advance, because of course the Democrats currently control both houses, but are set to lose one or both in the upcoming midterms and I doubt this decision will change that. But certainly the minority stole this decision. Three of the six votes that ratified...

    [Politics] US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

    That may be true, I don't really know anything about that time. On the surface, I'd assess Kennedy as a rather unlikely figure to ban abortion, Johnson was quite preoccupied with Vietnam, did Carter have a big majority? He struck me as a pretty weak president.

    Man Utds revenue dwarfs ours. Only so much of that is increased prize money, profits from their european adventures and ticket sales. The bulk of it, if I'm not wrong, is overseas income, sponsorships and the like. We'll never get to those levels, obviously, but there is surely room for...

    [Politics] US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

    Agree with your presentation of the two sides of the argument, but it doesn't mean it has to be legislated. If you believe a foetus is a living human, don't get an abortion. If you don't believe that, have one if you want or need one. Overall, I'm sure very few people actually want to have...

    [Politics] US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

    No, Obama didn't have the numbers. The first big battle he tried to use his supermajority for was his healthcare plan, certainly more important than abortion rights at the time, and even that was a huge fight which had to be compromised when Ted Kennedy died early in the Obama administration...

    Well, i don't think it's entirely spot on. What's the point in increasing the wages, if we have to sell the players that would command those higher wages, in order to fund them? We would like to prevent the likes of Bissouma and Cucu having their head turned elsewhere by offering them higher...

    [Albion] Simon Adingra - 20 year old Ivory Coast forward - Signed 24/06/2022

    You might have missed it but we've signed Denis Undav, are extending Welbecks contract and have Mitoma and Kozlowski back from loan

    [Albion] Are we destined to become a 'selling club'?

    Almost every club is a selling club, if they've got players that a bigger club wants. In the Premier league I can only think of the current Man City as a team which hasn't sold a star player to a bigger club. Every other team has. So I think the list of non-selling clubs globally has only 3 or...

    Didn't realise we had an option to buy on Izzy Brown. Not surprised we didn't take it! It's ridiculous anyway, why on earth would we want to give game time to someone else's 19 year old midfielder, when we have our own young midfielders to develop - Caicedo, Mwepu, Alzate, Mitoma, Mac...

    [Albion] Is Lewis Dunk Brighton's greatest ever player ?

    Undoubtedly. You can't perform at that consistency and quality, at such a high level, for so long, potentially be a one club player, captained us to our most successful season ever, and be a local lad, and not be first on the list of club legends . That's what 'greatest' means to me. The...

    [Other Sport] Bucket list items you're never going to achieve

    When I was a kid my dream was to visit Kenya, Borneo and the Amazon. I was fortunate enough to travel through Kenya when I was 19, got to Borneo when I was 21 and have worked there ever since. I'm almost 50 now and the Amazon has proved very elusive! Thought it was finally going to happen with a...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    They're not equal, but expressing preference isn't a bad thing. If you want the Tories to win but they don't, you would still have a preference between the other options rather than automatically be lumbered with Labour because they're the only alternative under the current system.

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    It's perfectly fair and it's not weighted. It just means that a Brexit party supporter can vote for them free of worry that he might be splitting the right wing vote and allowing a libdem to win the seat. If brexit wins, great for him, but if they get a low vote share then his vote is switched...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Re: PR v FPTP.. the whole point of Democracy is that individual peoples choices are represented in Parliament, and secondly, importantly, that minority views are represented. All citizens are equal, therefore all our choices should count equally. If you prefer the Green party, or the SNP, or...

    [Albion] Tariq Lamptey

    It may not be so much that he doesn't pick brighton players but that he picks players from his old clubs at the drop of a hat and after barely a minute in the Premier league - Mings, Watkins, Guehi, Mitchell Certainly fair to compare what Mings had done in four PL games prior to his call up and...

    [Politics] How long can Johnson survive as PM?

    Quite. But again, if getting the Tories out is the overriding concern, how do you choose who to vote for if Labour got 25% last time and the Libdems 20%? It was easier in 1997 when the Libs were a hair behind and Labour nowhere.

    [Albion] Bissouma (Gone to Spurs 17/06/2022)

    Bissouma will go where he wants to go. The challenge for us will be getting the same kind of fee from a Monaco or Roma that a team like Villa or West Ham would be prepared to pay.
