    [Other Sport] The Wrestling Thread

    I really enjoyed the Rumble. Not mega enjoyed, but a solid 7.5/10 as a whole. I could have predicted the final 4 in the mens rumble a mile out and that was annoying tbh. I was talking to a mate on Thurs, and we were saying it'd be awesome if Chad Gable won it and went for GUNTHER leaving the...

    [Misc] January blues

    Also - you could purchase a vitamin D lamp (lumie is one brand). I swear by it in the winter, use it for 30 mins a day, and it has seemed to do the job the last couple of winters and stopped me going into a depressed/lethargic shell of myself.

    [Football] Port Vale fan goes after referee when he awards a late penalty to Portsmouth

    Reminds me of Fifa (94?) where if you ran away from the ref he couldn't actually give you a yellow card lol

    [Albion] Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall **Singed for Chelsea 02/07/2024**

    He's 25?!!!! Genuinely just assumed he was like 21/22 as he seemingly hasn't been around that long

    [Albion] Best individual AMEX performances

    Hazard when Chelsea thrashed us came immediately to mind as soon as I read "or opposition". Weird for a player to have been so good, achieved so much, yet be considered (by me anyway) a relatively wasted talent. For us, I'm not really sure. Hard to pick one as it's quite rare we have someone...

    [Albion] Steven Hall - 19yo keeper singed from Adelaide United

    Seems sensible. If you look at James Trafford going for £19m..... Rushworth, Beale, all these others who will count as "home grown" Seems sensible even if we only sell one or two of them at that cost to promoted teams or whatever. In the age of needing 8 home grown players in the squad...

    [Football] Subbuteo, What team you have in the opening box ?

    Defo had a blue and white striped team. Not sure if it was technically Brighton. I did have the stands, and also a scoreboard with cardboard name tags for loads of top teams. Spent hours just playing around with that tbf I eventually moved onto a different game - I think it was called pro...

    He'd better be a good RB

    [Football] The ticking Profit and Sustainability (FFP) timebomb...

    I've just decided. The PL have to approve deal sheets. So they're just being lazy. Ask a team to prove they can comply with FFP before signing off on any transfer. And then if a team has lied, double the punishment Surely any team has a day by day view on running costs. Not like June 30th or...

    Oh Sussex, Sussex by the sea Good old Sussex by the sea And we do comply with FFP On Sussex by the sea

    I think Arsenal, Newcastle Liverpool, Man United and Spurs it doesn't matter because they do a good enough job at managing it. It does apply to them because they do a good enough job at managing it. Chelsea and City on the other hand...

    [Humour] Misinterpreted Text Messages

    Sort of misinterpreted. My wife a year or so ago asked me via WhatsApp when she was at work and I was WFH to "pick up all the cat toys and put them in a bowl in the fridge." Anyway two hours later I sent her a pic, as the cat toys were nicely chilled, asking BTW why do they need to be in the...

    Blame dazzer for every breach of FFP ever. I think it's the only reasonable solution

    [Football] The ticking Profit and Sustainability (FFP) timebomb...

    More extreme than my version, but actually I like that a lot. A hell of a lot. Punishes the club, player and agent. Means player and agent need to do more research other than "how many zeroes" (Edit) Actually in hindsight after two minutes of thinking, will the player or agent care if on an 8...

    [Football] The ticking Profit and Sustainability (FFP) timebomb...

    Covering losses within the official boundaries is far different from spending way above that. I think in our final two years in the Champ we lost something like 12m overall (covered by chairman) when there were teams in the Champ getting 4-6 times that a season in parachute payments alone

    Money still goes to the club. Just won't be able to be included within FFP calculations. In the same way that Chelsea won't have "spent" (for FFP) £115m on Caicedo in this year's accounts, for FFP purposes that's spread over 8 years (amortisation of the cost over the length of the contract)...

    All I know is if I was a Premier league team, I would not be paying top dollar for players from any of these teams. I'd rather spend abroad. "Oh, FFP struggles you say? Well instead of 60million, we'll give you 30m if you're desperate... Oh, and if not, enjoy the points deduction because no...
