    [Football] Does the NUFC deal change TB's position?

    Nah, they will follow the Man City, PSG, Barcelona model and obtain massive over inflated sponsorship deals for the new Saudi Aramco St James Park stadium, Uber shirt sponsorship (Saudi PIF owns £3.5 billion worth of Uber) or take your pick from Royal Dutch Shell, France's Total and Italy's Eni...

    [Football] Does the NUFC deal change TB's position?

    Frankly if that ever happened I would end my support and association with the Albion after more than 45 years of supporting them. I could not possible endorse sportswashing infecting the Albion.

    Trump

    Sadly this is true. The pro-gun people rattle on about their constitutional rights under the second amendment and "the right to bear arms" etc which is something laid down in 1791 !! You know what America, have you ever considered amending something that is over 200 years old, out of date and...

    Trump

    He actually said this about his own Federal Bureau of Investigation?!? Wow. I'd like to think that there are people within that organisation actively working to depose this despotic dictator. The man is so stupid and literally every word, sentence or statement that spews from his mouth makes no...

    [Football] Vidiprinter Grandstand 1984

    How late was our late kick off? :lolol: Loved David Coleman, always sounded like he didn't really have a clue what was going on.

    [Football] Premier League managers ranked by who would be best in a fight: 2020 edition.

    Think Potter is a little underrated, he's only 44 and fit unlike some of the fat old duffer managers, he'd have better stamina for sure. Also he managed 377 appearances in his playing career as a Left back, with a fair few of these in the lower leagues so I reckon he's harder than you might...

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    I'm not saying it won't be attempted I just don't think that it will be able to be effectively enforced as in EU countries, what's going to happen if people flout it? Arresting them won't work, Brighton for instance has sum total of 36 police cells available and Sussex as a whole around 150 or...

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    Lockdown not possible to enforce in the UK, we have a tiny overstretched Army and unlike a lot of the EU countries who seem to have larger police numbers along with dedicated paramilitary federal police we have nothing of the sort. Plus in the EU the police are happy to wade in in full riot...

    How seriously are you taking social distancing?

    I'm getting the same from my elderly parents 78 & 83. My Mum's taking the advice but trying to talk sense to Dad is like talking to a belligerent teenager!! I've tried the tough talk, "if you get it at your age and with your health history, you'll die" but even that hasn't sunk in! He simply...

    Anyone Happy To Admit To Panic Buying/Stockpiling?

    Last night I needed some bread, milk and beers. Popped along to M&S at the Lewes service station and guess what?! I purchased Bread, milk and beers. I was the only person in there.

    [Football] Player ratings v Arsenal (h)

    Dreadful display but at least we didn't lose...or win..or draw. Ratings: All a big fat 0(zero) I'm afraid. We simply didn't turn up.

    [Football] Premier League - Void or positions stand ?

    Managers to settle each game by playing the fixture virtually on FIFA20 using current squads. No chance of Granny Hodgson getting to grips with a PS4 controller so that's Palace down and I expect to see us rocket up the table with our relatively young Potter showing the rest of the PL a clean...

    Coronavirus - What if scenario. What if the epidemic really takes a hold in the UK and all public gatherings are banned for several weeks or even perhaps months. Football fixtures remain unfulfilled and the FA has to suspend the football season. Is there a possibility of games being played...

    [Albion] Defining moment of the season?

    Yesterday felt to me to be the defining moment of our season, beaten by a very average Palace and failing to score despite numerous chances and some of the players starting to look dejected. Add to that wins for Watford, against the League champions, & West Ham and a useful point for smug...

    It's not really money to find Maddy though is it, more a case of keeping the investigation open to gather evidence against someone :whistle: Can't imagine who that might be...
