    Is it time for Premier League players to strike??

    they have the right to unionise and take industrial action just as much as any other group of workers. though I appreciate that's not really the question being asked here

    yep. that's what really ticks me off about that piece more than anything else, the way it's written. for someone with no scientific background to write in such a patronising, conceited tone is honestly risible. highlights include "you're not a virologist" (when neither is he) and "you're...

    yeah I saw that he didn't now that I've looked him up :thumbsup: also I saw that he's got form for this sort of sensationalist bollocks: https://stevengambardella.medium.com/on-umair-haque-abdd762860b

    what a load of s***. don't even know where to begin with this... obviously I have no epidemiological background, but this pretty much disagrees with what the vast majority of scientists have actually said about COVID. nowhere in that article does it mention the tradeoffs omicron has made to...

    [Albion] Dante Vanzeir (22) - Union SG

    well I'm counting 'massive risk' as norwich levels, so maybe it's just a difference of definitions here. maybe they will use owen too. naylor has always been a mouthpiece of the club though.

    [Albion] Dante Vanzeir (22) - Union SG

    agree that there's not a massive risk of relegation, it'll just mean that we'll end up having stood still position-wise for a 5th consecutive season. what's actually in the article is actually just naylor doing his usual routine of sanctimoniously scoffing at the ungrateful fans who want a...

    interesting... https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/12/21/everton-david-weir-brighton-snub-ashworth-newcastle/ saw a few days ago that loan manager David Weir was close to rejoining Everton, now that's off the table apparently. Been offered a promotion maybe?

    yeah that ship has sailed, returned, sailed again and now sunk. I do think the club are going to bite the bullet and bring someone in though. not to pacify complaining fans, but just because that's the next area of our team that very evidently needs additional depth and quality, which I think...

    Never wanted him previously as we've always been in for Núñez, who I think has a much better all round game. But the lad is a decent finisher, we could certainly do worse

    this is so spot on. when you starting hearing this sort of stuff from people who probably wouldn't usually give a ****, that's generally a very bad sign

    All live/sporting events in Wales now BCD indefinitely. So much for those vaccine passports working, eh?

    well I guess we'll see how good they are at expecting the unexpected

    [Albion] Dan Ashworth joins Newcastle

    It's definitely the pragmatic option, I'll agree with that. But the fact is that if he leaves, there will be a contingency plan in place, and someone else of around the same ability will come in. There is literally nothing about the way this club is structured or run to suggest otherwise.

    [Albion] Dan Ashworth joins Newcastle

    No, Mr Bloom is top table. Everyone else can be replaced. If you think TB would be naïve enough to not have a plan should something like this happen then you haven't been paying attention I'm afraid. The very fact that we've allowed him to speak to them indicates that TB is satisfied that he...

    [Albion] Dan Ashworth joins Newcastle

    nothing's being twisted or clutched. we know the club have replacements lined up in literally every staff role. potter has been here for even less time than ashworth, and yet we know if he went tomorrow the club would already have someone in mind to replace him. why would ashworth's position be...

    [Albion] Dan Ashworth joins Newcastle

    If he bins it off, it's for the money. Both in terms of wages and what he's going to be allowed to spend. Everyone knows we have one of the lowest budgets in the league, if someone with more money comes calling then stuff like this is going to happen. And I bet my bottom dollar that Bloom's...

    I'm not stressing. this is the one thing we knew would happen as we climb the pyramid. people will want our staff. uncle tony will definitely have a long list of potential replacements, and we could get to see just how good the clubs 'succession planning' actually is
