    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    Not for me. He starts every race in a car that is vastly superior to its competitiors. He's obviously a great driver, but he's only really competing against one other car. I suspect that if you took any two of the top 20 drivers and put them in the Mercedes for the season, one or other of...

    [News] Loan Charge - another tax avoidance scheme

    I used to be a contractor and the agent I worked through tried very hard to push me into one of these schemes. They were obviously on a commission and they made it sound like the only way I could take the job was to work through the scheme. I do therefore have some sympathy with those who were...

    [Palace] AO - Lets Go

    Dont buy anything from Curry's / PC World. The buying process is fine, but as soon as anthing goes wrong they are awful. They have created an abysmal subsidiary called 'Team Knowhow' to deal with deliveries and returns, deliberately distancing it from the Curry's name. If you have a fault...

    [Albion] £14.95 to a Brighton foodbank instead - Monday PPV vs. West Brom.

    Definitely donating my 14.95 to a food bank. I just think it sends an important message that (a) fans can't be exploited indefinitely and (b) real people know what is important.

    [News] James Randi . Dead

    RIP - I was a big admirer. It'd be funny if he's now discovered there is an afterlife.

    [Travel] E scooter confiscated for tailgating cars and having no insurance

    Seriously? Did they really need that f***ing great tow truck to take it away? I'd love to have seen them connecting up the winch and them hauling it slowly up the ramp and on to the truck. Why didn't they just fling it in the boot of the police car? :lolol:

    [Football] Motd 18.10.20

    Not showboating I don't think. He wasn't aware of the defender coming in from behind - tried to cut inside to give himself an easier finish. Just a bad decision.

    [Albion] Premier League 17-19/10

    Oh for goodness sake. If its clear and obvious you don't need VAR - the on-field ref can make the decision. The whole point of VAR is to make the decisions that are not clear and obvious. Very rarely, the on-field ref might miss a clear and obvious decision. Do we really need millions of...

    [Albion] Premier League 17-19/10

    Well its so easy to say use it properly - but what is properly exactly? Clear and obvious? What does that mean? These Jonathan Pearce type comments just dont mean anything, but are great for having a good moan about it. There are only two options either have VAR and have it exact or dont...

    [Albion] Premier League 17-19/10

    Its offside by an inch or so, so offside. What is the argument here? This is what VAR is for isn't it? So let me get this right - those who wanted VAR are now saying that they want it, but they dont want it to deliver an accurate decision? Bonkers.

    [Football] The Shortest England Careers

    Its a bit of a harsh statistic. To even get an international call up puts a player in the very top percentile.

    [Help] British Bulldog 1-2-3.

    Blimey that's taken me back. Isn't the brain an odd thing - that memory has not surfaced for 50 years until you mentioned that. I can remember it as clear as day now, but as for what I had for breakfast this morning - no idea.

    [Albion] Are you going to pay £14.95 to watch us vs WBA?

    Its just about the price point for me. I think they've got it wrong. I would pay a tenner but I won't pay 15. They have obviously set it at 15 because they think that is the level that will maximise the total revenue. If the take up is sufficiently low at 15 they will reduce it. For this...

    [Help] Marriage Split

    I second that. Lawyers will look to create conflict where there is none. The first thing they do is sit you down and do a rough assessment of your financial position. The sole purpose of this is to identify the pot of money that they and the other party's solicitor will look to split between...

    [Albion] After a night to sleep on it

    To my memory he's taken about 4 now, 3 have ended up in row Z (ok he scored from the other, but only due to keeper error). Why is he taking them? Has he taken a few in training that have flown into the top corner? Its a mystery.

    [Albion] Short corners ....?!!!!!!

    I dont get it at all. If the tactic is to play the short corner and then play the ball intricately to the strikers, why have Dunk and Webster up there at all? If they are not there waiting for a cross, wouldn't they be better employed back on the halfway line to defend a possible break away...

    [Football] Is Anyone Linking the New Handball Rule ?

    That's a bit unfair on anyone who has dropped points already because of the rule (e.g. us). You have to play the whole season with the same set of rules Shirley.
