    [Albion] Team for AEK Athens

    Very true - apart from a few of the top European teams how many would cope in the Premier League? In a similar way, I’m not sure about “stepping up” in Internationals - yes in the Euros and Workd Cup but a lot of the countries England play in the qualifiers would not cope in the Premier League

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Honestly don’t believe for one second that the EU will enter into any form of ‘migrants return’ scheme with the UK, simply won’t happen- Sir Keir sounding a bit like Cameron explaining how we were going to get a new agreement with the EU before the referendum.

    Bashayer in the Cheshire Oaks - Carson dropped his hands when clear, one came and caught him Claridge in the championship sack race - lost his job before a ball had been kicked and was declared a non runner Corbyn to be gone by the end of the year- lost his second election in December but...

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    You do not need to ‘repeat again’ I understand the definition of class you have given. The Tesco area manager on £56kpa + £11.5k in add ons is working class, as is the single parent Tesco shelf stacker doing 16 hours a week. Both working class. My point is that it makes reference to class in...

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    Even more so then ‘social class’ is far less relevant to these political discussions than financial status. Your version of working class is all encompassing and it is a massive generalisation to group so many different people together.

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    If that is the case then the terms working class and middle class are no longer relevant terms to discuss the financial status of different sections of the population. You may well be right but to all intents and purposes, we generally use those terms to determine people by wealth. No point...

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    Funnily enough that’s exactly what Tony Blair did when he was the only successful leader of the opposition to win a majority since Thatcher in ‘79 ….. He put a manifesto together a year before a General Election. However this is yet another case of this opposition saying; the Government have...

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    Hardly easy- more like simplistic and idealistic. If that was the case I imagine there would be far fewer families living in temporary accommodation already

    …and then where? Council house waiting lists already of 7500 waiting anything up to 5 years!!!! There is no easy solution, yes the Conservative government are shambolic but for Labour to say we will solve this …and quickly.. but with no mention as to how ???

    [Albion] Brighton 'pathway' convinced me to join over rivals, says Evan Ferguson

    If Undav is on the move because he was 4th choice I wonder where Ferguson rates with RDZ? For me, if it’s behind Welbeck I’m scratching my head? If he fancies him then he will be starting Premier League matches. I’m expecting he will be starting cup games and coming on second half in the league.

    [Cricket] The Ashes - England v Australia - 5th Test, Oval, July 27-31, 2023

    I’m a fan of how Stokes has got this team batting , fantastic but 2 downsides are that their bowlers don’t get tired because we score so fast from so few overs and more to the point they’ve got 2 days to chase!! I don’t think any of the ‘record’ run chases at the oval are relevant because 2 days...

    [Albion] Brighton 'pathway' convinced me to join over rivals, says Evan Ferguson

    I hope you’re right 👍 tricky trying to second guess RDZ but I thought it was unusual for a manager to say a player ‘must’ improve.. and to highlight him not keeping possession and ball distribution in a press conference? Was it Stoke? I accept things are different now bringing on young players...

    [Albion] Brighton 'pathway' convinced me to join over rivals, says Evan Ferguson

    I don’t think RDZ fancies him as a player as much as we do, few comments last season .. he can improve, he must improve.. I wonder if it will be ‘he’s young we are managing his game time’ when he doesn’t get PL starts?

    Very much so - I’ve got the Albion app video running on my phone at work and Bluetoothing it through the radio …. Commentary has a lot of silence in it I guess as he’s commentating on tv and not radio .. I keep checking if the streams gone down 😊 missing Jonny and Warren

    Crawley on 5live after stumps said ‘hopefully we only need to bat once’ so I imagine they will want to be 250-260 in front ?

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    It’s rare for the leader of the opposition to win a majority in a general election- in the 44 years since Thatcher did it, only Blair has managed it and he brought out his manifesto and campaigned on it 10 or 11 months before the GE 😳 Blair declared his intentions, offered his solutions and...

    As I said it is very very common on NSC if I had the time or inclination I expect I could find upward of a hundred posts on here referring to people who have or who will vote Tory as stupid gullible thick in need of educating etc etc etc etc
