    [Albion] L'Équipe linking us with Timothy Weah

    Just seen us being linked with Timothy Weah. Has had some injury problems in the last couple of years which I guess accounts for the relatively low fee being quoted. Here's the article...

    [Technology] ChatGPT

    It's causing a lot of panic at the university where I work. Previously, English tests would consist of students reading an article and then writing a summary of it (plus an opinion piece at the end). With this technology, it will make such a test obsolete. Think we'll be doing more speaking...

    [Football] Currently in the Stevenage dressing room...

    St Albans City being my non-league team, I have always had a strong dislike of Stevenage but them beating Villa in this manner is quite delicious.

    [Football] Leandro Trossard **Sold To Arsenal 20/01/2023**

    Can't agree with this - he has had many outstanding games for the Albion. The World Cup has obviously had an effect on him and he's at the crossroads in terms of the next part of his career. He's also just become a father again - maybe that's had an effect on him?

    [Football] Has Nathan Bitten Off More Than He Can Chew? - Sacked 12/02/2023

    That's how I've mostly found them. One of my best mates is a Saints fan and he's definitely a glass half-full kind of supporter but he went into the game downcast and negative. He thinks Jones is the worst manager they have had since Branfoot (about 30 years ago). I would also say they are more...

    [Football] Has Nathan Bitten Off More Than He Can Chew? - Sacked 12/02/2023

    I went to the Southampton - Forest game the other night and I cannot recall a set of fans turn on a new manager so quickly. Saints had one chance which Adams blazed wide early on and then absolutely nothing. The gap in quality between the other game I saw (us v Arsenal) and this one was huge...

    [Music] Alan Rankine RIP

    Thanks to HWT for starting this thread. Such terrible news but not wholly surprising - he hadn't looked/sounded well in recent interviews. For a few months in 1982 The Associates looked like the band who would make it big but Billy pulled the plug on touring America which led to Alan leaving...

    [Albion] Your best Albion moment of 2022

    My best moment is still to come: back to the Amex with my boys for the first time in three years for the Arsenal game!

    [Football] World Cup - The Final ….. finally.

    Am in a dilemma: would love Alexis to win but can't abide Martinez (the keeper) and Paredes.

    [TV] William Roache

    He has to watch out - he's in danger of becoming typecast.

    [Football] Green Lions Cameroon documentary Italia 90

    Watched this amazing documentary - got to do something on a day without any games! Some fantastic footage from behind the scenes, great interviews with many of the players. I had a massive nostalgia trip watching this and had forgotten just how close Cameroon came to reaching the semi-finals...

    [News] Boris Becker Released

    I'm not au fait with the usual sentence for such crimes but feel that it would have been better for him to do work in the community rather than sitting in a cell at a tough prison. Have no great sympathy with Becker - he is someone whose greatest weaknesses are his arrogance and his poor...

    [Football] Whose the best manager England never had?

    An ex-Albion manager who I could have imagined doing a decent job is Steve Coppell but he's obviously not the answer to the thread question.

    [Football] Gillingham FC.

    National League, I hope - can't stand them.

    [Football] World Cup - Day Twenty - The Quarters Begin

    This is the first true test of whether Argentina are credible contenders or not. Netherlands seem to be a happy camp and have momentum coming into the game. We've seen classic games between these two before - could be another one. Netherlands to shade it AET.

    [Football] World Cup - Day Fourteen... The knockout stages begin.

    I think the US could win today - lots of energy, strong midfield and I'm not sure about the Dutch keeper.

    [Albion] BBC team of the WC group stages

    That must explain why Lamptey is in - he only started one game!

    [Football] World Cup - Day Thirteen

    I am absolutely gutted that I'll be missing Uruguay v Ghana - some dullard arranged a parent's evening at my boys' school :rolleyes: Come on the Black Stars!
