    [Albion] Ebbsfleet Utd's most famous fan

    And I'm not sure he was still "Soccer's Golden Boy" by then. Not to mention all those people who bleat on about "soccer" being a word only the Amercian's use. They're conspicuous by their absence.

    [Albion] Albion Analytics

    Appreciate the link, and following the account is exactly what I did within a few seconds of reading your original post.

    [Albion] Albion Analytics

    Exactly. We tend to see us concede more with Montoya there, rather than Bruno. That seems to be what we see with our own eyes, and make the assumption that Bruno is better than Montoya. But analytics should throw up other possibilities because there is a correlation that isn't so easy to spot...

    [Football] Poor old Bury

    Jees, that's a promotion celebration that has fallen incredibly flat.

    [Albion] Albion Analytics

    I do love a bit of analytics but it needs to show something we don't already know, and flesh it out with some reasoning as to why that may be the case. For example, if the Albion were significantly worse defensively without Bruno in the side, and many on here see that as a flaw with Montoya...

    [Football] Evertons new stadium

    It would be quite something if there was less. Well, I suppose it would mean they have rebuilt Anfield.

    [Football] Evertons new stadium

    Completely agree. Unfortunately I wouldn't rule out the idiot faction that still exists in football despite the corporisation (is that a word? Should be, you must know what I mean by it) of the modern game would become obsessed with graffiti on as much of the stadium as they could get to, so...

    By all means make another suggestion.

    [Albion] Ebbsfleet Utd's most famous fan

    A blast from the past, but who remembers "Jacko" from Brush Strokes. Often spot Karl Howman down at Stonebridge Road these days.

    [Football] Evertons new stadium

    Beats flatpack stadiums that all look the same EVERY. DAY. OF. THE. WEEK.

    [Football] Evertons new stadium

    I disagree. The next NFL stadium always seem innovative and completely different to what we've seen before in some way or another. Look at the Vikings, the Falcons, and next, when the Raiders move to Vegas .....

    [Music] A-ha! Oasis! The Police! Survivor! Springsteen! Toto! Winehouse!

    I'd forgotten about that Scandanvian 3-piece completely, so when I saw the thread title, I thought Partridge was on Desert Island Discs.

    [Misc] What Book are you Currently Reading?

    Only just started it, but have heard about the story before. Fascinating to see how some otherwise solid businessmen just make a dogs dinner of a new business venture. They simply see teh NFL (in this case) the money it makes, and just bowl in with a "how hard can it be" attitude. Some absolute...

    [Albion] 2019/20 loans to Championship ? - Connolly, Walton, White, Sanders ?

    Ironically I said the exact same think about Gyorkes just the other day.

    [Misc] Lyme disease

    My bank Relationship Manager through work contracted it in the New Forest last year. Nasty, really nasty. Face dropped on one side very dramatically, and his wife was convinced she was losing him to a stroke. He's much better now, but still had good and bad days with it. I think it's something...

    [Misc] It’s too hot to work

    It really is. Just been into town (work in North Greenwich but had a meeting near Tower Bridge) and the tubes are very hot. One of my colleagues didn't make it to teh meeting as he collapsed at Canada Water. He had to be helped out of the tube, and sat down before he came round. Off in an...

    [Politics] Boris Johnson, the new UK Prime Minister

    How about if he plays for No Deal by default? Doesn't put a further extension on the table to the EU waiting for them to pull the trigger on us on 31st Oct. The "Mexican Stand-off" approach.

    [Politics] Boris Johnson, the new UK Prime Minister

    Don't take what I say as a celebration that all is now fine, we'll sorted now BoJo is in charge. No, there is still a huge mountain to climb, and regardless of who is in charge and what they bring back to Parliament, I believe Parliament will block it. My point is merely, that the positivity...

    [Politics] Boris Johnson, the new UK Prime Minister

    You may be underestimating the "unpredictable" card in negotiations. My experience lies predominantly in negotiating final accounts on construction contracts, and in that environment, the similarity I see with Brexit is "adjudication" being similar to "No deal". Most of the time, neither side...
