    Farage Watch: What is he up to NOW?

    Corbyn's favourite channel! Maybe he'll be one of the first guests on Farage's 'lifestyle programme'.

    Champions League moving to China?

    I read it without a paid subscription - I think I've signed up in the past for a free account, which enables you to read a few articles per week or month ... I'm not speaking for El Presidente, of course, who no doubt has a platinum account.

    Wearing a safety pin!

    It's to show people that they are safe, not to say 'welcome'. Since the vote, racists have been abusing and assaulting immigrants and other people who look/sound different to them, including non-white Brits. Police report a sharp increase in these assaults. This has now happened to two friends...

    Green party call for 'Progressive alliance'

    <sigh> I was trying to help. If reducing our footprint is the reason we have a service sector, policy-makers have sure kept that quiet. Someone tell the climate deniers! Like I said, I disagree with the Green Party (and agree with you) on GM, but employing the precautionary principle isn't an...

    Green party call for 'Progressive alliance'

    Wrong. Green Party supports stem cell research and has done for years. And though I agree with you on GM, the anti-science mud doesn't stick any more. It's the big parties and their obsession with economic growth, that's anti-science: imagining we can have infinite growth on a finite planet is...

    Supporting the other Home Nations in sport

    That probably *should* be the correct answer, but we haven't had to bother with Wales before, so it's not a learned behaviour. Therefore, if I'm being honest, I feel mildly pleased for them. Only mildly, though.

    Lazio - pre-season friendly at the Amex - Sunday 31st July‬, kick-off ‪3pm‬

    No-one has mentioned yet that their manager is MARCELO BIELSA. If you don't know this tactical genius, maybe the best shortcut is to point out he was the mastermind of that incredible demolition of Manchester Utd over two legs by Athletic Club of Bilbao a few years ago. As a convinced...

    [Politics] Brexit

    It's certainly a major one for Brexiters. But the Leave vote by area is in inverse proportion to the level of immigration. Doesn't this mean that the issue is actually *fear* of immigration, not actual immigration?

    Albion Kit for Women

    I'd suggest letting the club shop know that you're after a women's fit replica kit and are disappointed they don't stock them - and ask what they're going to do about it. It's a poor show they don't do them and the club is responsive to an extent. In a different, but related, issue, my daughter...

    Trump-v-Sanders ?

    Yes. With bells on. At least, that is what the polls have been saying for a long time: that Sanders will do better that Clinton vs Trump. Trump v Sanders: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_sanders-5565.html Trump v Clinton...

    West Bromwich Albion Roll Call

    I was planning on going but I'm having second thoughts. I know the manager has been sacked. Is it true that some players have resigned as a result? If so, is this basically a hiding to nothing? Inside information gratefully received.

    Playoff Games Won

    On the plus side, Monday broke a pattern of four consecutive defeats.

    FA Investigating Hull pitch invasion

    Did you see the last sentence? "Reading had to pay out £100,00* after a similar incident at the Madejski Stadium". It couldn't be ... could it? Not when they *thought* they'd made the playoffs? Edit: * that's what it says. I've no idea if they mean ten thousand or a hundred thousand.

    What was THE season-defining moment ?

    And there's the third goal conceded at home to Boro. We'd have been promoted on goals scored if we'd only lost 0-2. Not significant psychologically in the way the Burnley equaliser was, but statistically it, too, was the difference between up & down.

    Isn't March out for the calendar year? Can't remember where I heard this, and would be glad if I'm wrong

    CD Palencia's PLAY OFF KIT

    They couldn't look more embarrassed. Is this the face that NSC-ers who don't want drums, etc fear they would make if we ever had them, when they say it's pathetic or embarrassing?

    Idiot alert scores level after two legs...

    I'm pretty sure it hit the post, but because we were singing "Hit the bar, hit the bar", it's a better story that it hit the bar. I hope it doesn't come to it, of course, but if it does, then on Monday it would be great if there was a massive chorus of "Hit the bar" when Wendy are taking their...

    Approx 29,000 sold to date for Monday's Play Off Game

    The first leg isn't sold out, though. Albion just tweeted (at 10.39): There is no screening of the play-off semi-final first leg at the Amex, as tickets remain available for the match at Hillsborough.
