I despise everything about the Saudi regime (and I lived there for a while) but I think it's a tough call on the FA or Newcastle to take a moral stance against the Saudis when it's one of our governments biggest trade partners. This shit starts at the top (or the bottom, depending on your view...
How can we make it clear to PB that the season ticket transfer thing is a shambles.
I've missed two games this season and could easily have shared my season ticket. But it's just too much agro for people and too much friction. It feels like a lost opportunity to engage floating football fans...
We can't complain about this. We (BHA) took their money. We subscribe to their Sports packages. We can't be surprised when we get royally shafted.
And I'm not in favour of this - it's a monumental pain for me to get to and back from - but football has brought this on itself and on this day...
Boxing Day at 8pm gets me back to Dorsetshire for 1am perhaps. Great!
A lot of our home games feel like they are being televised, but fewer of the away games (might be wrong) - but if so, that's a kick in the balls.
But apart from that, it looks like a hard run of fixtures around Xmas:

Totally agree. With Shane in the back three, we play with a deeper last man. We saw the risks of playing him at Norwich (on the break it took last dith BDB tackles to stop shots on goal). So for me, in a game against a ball playing side, I'd have Webster - Dunk - Veltman every time (assuming...
Went for 5
Pleased with 6
Disappointed because it could have been more
Not expecting more now
But wouldn't be surprised if we picked up a draw from the next two
No point arguing with "Justice". He's an attention seeker who isn't interested in a debate and just wants attention or an argument. Don't bother engaging is my advice.
Is it worse when we play closer to home? London games seem to have far more boozed/drugged up teenagers trying to sign songs in a key too low for them.
I didn't hear any booing, maybe 10 rows from the front in the middle. More of a sense of frustration coming off the fans. Missed opportunity, team didn't click at all. Even the players could barely make it over to clap the fans, just a cursory effort (apart from GPott himself and Duffy)...
Two episodes in to "Maid" on Netflix.
Very engaging lead character dealing with life after escaping a violent partner. Promising.
Btw, fancied trying Ted Lasso but can't find it. Anyone know where it might be?
Are there any pics of the Albion training for Saturday? I never seem to be able to find them on the official site (and there may not be any this week in fairness)
I think losing Paul Barber is more likely. If I was as rich as Croesus, I'd start by getting the most highly regarded CEO in the Prem in to oversee the programme of change. The right manager, players, infrastructure etc would follow.
(although I might go for a better manager than Bruce in the...
It's just another piss stain on football's mattress. There are so many, you'll hardly notice once it dries.
The "soul" of football went a long time ago, and it went to Sky (and all the Sky subscribers) not to the arabs. That's the money that detatched larger clubs (and those lucky enough to be...
