    [Film] Best War Film?

    Another vote for Das Boot - obviously the version in German with subtitles, not the dubbed one Bridge Too Far Lawrence of Arabia Battle of Britain All cracking films and all draw an audible sigh from Mrs S if she sees them on the box as she knows that's the TV locked in for a few hours

    [Albion] Levi Colwill

    Why would any of our best players want to go anywhere near Chelsea right now? I could understand leaving to play Champions League or to go to a proper big club such as Liverpool but Chelsea - out of Europe and in their current basket case state - don’t see that happening

    [Albion] A thread for all the seagulls looking down on us today

    Must admit I was a bit moist-eyed when the final whistle went yesterday - my Dad would have absolutely loved it. He took me to my first game in 1973 - we lost 2-0 at home to Chelsea in the FA Cup. We got relegated that season but it didn't matter, I was hooked. He was a lifelong fan, season...

    [Football] Trouble At West Ham Match In The Netherlands

    You’re right, no one should have to die for hooliganism to matter but I didn’t see anything at the West Ham game that warranted any more than a slap on the wrist at the most. Admittedly it might have been worse than reports I’ve seen but talk of throwing countries out of European competition...

    [Albion] Can we talk about Sanchez ?

    Haven’t read everything on this thread but remember that Sanchez is still a young man. Like Caicedo he is probably easily led/ ill advised by much older or more experienced agents and the like. Why is everyone so happy to cut Caicedo slack (rightly IMHO) after his antics in the January window...

    [Football] Trouble At West Ham Match In The Netherlands

    I wasn’t aware of any of that. How many deaths? Remember English teams were banned off the back of the 39 deaths at Heysel, not a few pathetic posers in black looking a bit threatening

    [News] The French Pension Protests

    Corrected your numbers slightly :) My point is that the protests we do see in this country seem to be of the mindless 'look at me' variety by a small number of people. Take the idiots that protested about the environment by climbing on top of tube trains - they are actually inconveniencing the...

    [News] The French Pension Protests

    The only protests I've seen recently are a few twats gluing themselves to the road or smashing up petrol pumps at M25 services. These days the lazy Brits mainly think the way to protest is to post an angry message on Twitter or phone in to a radio talk show. A lot of apathy out there these days

    [Albion] Match day Travel Survey

    I'm guessing that they can't start charging separately for the travel for next season as the renewal for 23/24 already mentions 'Inclusive travel to all men's first-team home league matches on rail and bus from across Sussex within our matchday travel zone'

    [Football] Should Ex Players/Managers be running VAR?

    Can you imagine what VAR would be like if you had someone with the intellectual qualities of a Paul Merson or an Anton Ferdinand working on it? It would make the current lot look almost perfect.

    [Albion] How much ticket demand was influenced by Manure

    The pull is the fact that it's a very big game at Wembley, unless you believe that the main reason we took 36K (or whatever it was) to Cardiff was to see Bristol City. Our allocation would have sold out just as quick whoever we are playing

    [Football] Fat Frank's Chelsea

    I guess he'll bring with him the 'dream team' that brought him such success at Everton and last time at Chelsea

    [Albion] Utd v Brentford tonight

    It's weird this season. In the past I'd be hoping for the 'big' team to win and deal a blow to one of our relegation rivals. Wanting Man U to lose because we're rivalling them for a Champions League place is surreal. Perhaps I should ease up on the alcohol

    [Football] Whitworth

    I thought so at first but on seeing it on the highlights Solly's finish was very similar to his second against Liverpool a few weeks ago and that one beat Allison who is a very decent shot-stopper

    [News] Pedestrian jailed for manslaughter

    Funny how shared paths seem to work in other countries but seem to cause conflict in this country. The wide prom on the seafront at Nieuwport (I think it's called) in Belgium is a shared space for pedestrians and cyclists (or was when I went there about 10 years ago. Plenty of both pedestrians...

    Time Wasting

    While I agree with the idea, a lot of the fakery, rolling around, going down as if shot by a sniper, etc is not just about wasting time. Just as important is that it disrupts the flow of the game especially if one team has a real head of steam going. We need to stop it happening in the first...
