    [News] UK rail passengers face biggest rise for five years

    Agreed- especially in a lot of the coastal towns like Hastings; there really is very little in the way of jobs in any industry

    [News] UK rail passengers face biggest rise for five years

    This may be true in some industries, but there are certain jobs that are almost exclusively London based

    [TV] League Of Gentlemen Revival

    One of my favourite characters from the show. "I'm hot for you Patricia, like a tube of Murray mints left out in the sun"

    [News] UK rail passengers face biggest rise for five years

    I live in Coventry and commute to Euston 3-4 days a week. It costs me £9000 per year for a yearly season ticket with no Tube travelcard. £9000 a year for an hour journey each way is pretty horrific but still saves me money compared to living in London. No way could I hack it 5 days a week though

    [Football] Goalkeepers - hypothetical question

    Think that was a different occasion. He just went up for a corner in that vid. He actually swapped to an outfield shirt and was replaced by a sub keeper in the one TLO is talking about

    [Football] Goalkeepers - hypothetical question

    Pretty sure they brought a sub keeper on to replace a striker, then moved James up front

    [Football] Izzy Brown Go Home

    I was really impressed with him today. Looked our best attacking outlet and was much less one footed than Izquierdo. Was surprised he was subbed. Personally I would have swapped March for Gross and moved Brown to the no. 10 role

    [Misc] Woman/Women

    Hadn't thought of that. Seems to happen too often for it to be that though I reckon

    [Misc] Woman/Women

    Is it just me who has noticed this annoying phenomenon of people using the plural 'women' to mean the singular 'woman'? Seems to crop up on social media all the time and have noticed it on here a few times. Example sentence from Facebook today: "Happy birthday to my Mum, she has gone through so...

    [Albion] Last time we faced Liverpool

    Looks like I was thinking of the Carling Cup in 2011 where Liverpool beat us 2-1. This was the lineup that day Ankergren Calderon Cook Greer Vincelot Noone Navarro Sparrow Buckley Mackail-Smith Subs: Brezovan Dunk Taricco Kasim Vicente LuaLua Barnes

    [Albion] Last time we faced Liverpool

    I could have sworn Vincelot played left back in this game as I remember being really impressed by him. Unless I'm thinking of another cup game vs Prem opponents, Newcastle perhaps?

    [Albion] When was the last time we scored from a corner?

    Very few teams score regularly from corners in the top flight. I remember hearing a coach/manager talking about attacking/defending corners once (can't remember who) who basically said that the only way you score from a corner is if the defending team make a mistake. Teams in the Prem are...

    [Albion] Has anyone ever seen Anthony Knockaert's right-foot?

    I think it's a confidence thing. Last season he seemed to go down the outside of players much more often. I do worry about having both wingers drifting inside- our full backs aren't able to get forward to provide width as often as in the Championship. With someone of Murray's heading ability we...

    [Football] Izzy Brown Go Home

    To be fair to Brown, he won a decent number of balls in the air when he came on, which is more than could be said for Murray/Gross in the rest of the game. (Not trying to knock either of them you understand)

    [Palace] Palace/Brighton 11

    Trying to rise above the sniping- the problem with putting this XI together is that the majority of our team is based around the strength and understanding between pairs of players who wouldn't be as good individually: Dunk/Duffy, Stephens/Propper, Bruno/Knocky, even Bong/Izquierdo. Stick Dunk...

    [News] Girls not girls & boys not boys! Gender neutrality !

    The bottom line for me is that if someone is doing something that doesn't hurt others, break any laws and makes them feel happier then why shouldn't they do it? No skin off my nose The only grey area I can seee comes with children who decide they are in the 'wrong' body. Are they old enough to...

    [Albion] Is Ezequiel Schelotto really 'The Greyhound'

    To be fair to him, the bit of skill prior to his terrible cross was sublime. I'd like to see him replace Bruno rather than Knockaert though, at least from the bench, as Bruno looked knackered towards the end of the Stoke game

    [Albion] Penalty?

    Put it this way- if it had happened anywhere else on the pitch it would have been given as a free kick. Shouldn't be viewed any differently by the ref just because it's in the area- a foul is a foul.

    [Albion] Player ratings vs Stoke (Home)

    Totally agree. Bar a couple of mis-cued long range passes, Stephens was excellent IMO. Propper spent the game flitting from the sublime to the ridiculous. Some brilliant touches and turns, plus that run for the Gross goal, but also gave away possession on several occasions with some awful short...
