    [Albion] Middlesbrough u17s vs Brighton u17s U17 Premier League Cup Final

    Quite a few stoppages this half. Should be a lot of added minutes.

    [Albion] Middlesbrough u17s vs Brighton u17s U17 Premier League Cup Final

    Probably tempting for him if true, but it's hard to envisage a clearer path to the first team with Utd rather than with us. Two Moran snippets: 1) We all pronounce his name wrong: 2) We signed him from Bray Wanderers, aka The Seagulls: Really promising talent.

    [Albion] Middlesbrough u17s vs Brighton u17s U17 Premier League Cup Final

    Moran with the goal. Wonderful goal.

    [Albion] 20% of 1901 members not renewing

    So effectively about a 4% drop out rate per season.

    [News] Just 3 years for killing a boy through dangerous driving

    "Ahmed was also disqualified from driving for three years and five months after which he will be required to undergo an extended driving test." It's reasonable for society to question why are people like this ever permitted to drive again. The system is so bafflingly forgiving.

    [Football] The ESL debt figures.

    Undoubtedly. I think our debt may well top £350m after this season.

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    I'm inclined to agree. They have used the threat of a breakaway to leverage ever more favourable distribution of the CL broadcasting money for years. This is the first time it's actually been acted on. And it has crumbled within 24 hours. In the most embarrassing and damaging fashion...

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    What rules have they broken? Serious question. You can't sanction anyone if they have not broken any rules.

    [Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

    Seems like such a gamble for these clubs. They've used the threat of a super league for so long now to get European competitions shaped to their advantage. If they now choose to play that trump card instead of threaten to play it what happens if things don't go to plan? They can only play this...

    [Misc] Over 36 and not been vaccinated yet? [Aged 36 and over - see post 193]

    I think you should ring her surgery despite what they say. It sounds like something may have gone wrong with the system in her case. It's perfectly reasonable for you to contact them if they organised the first jab and the 12 weeks is up and you have heard nothing. If the period between jabs is...

    [Misc] Over 36 and not been vaccinated yet? [Aged 36 and over - see post 193]

    Sounds like my surgery! My advise is find another pretext to ring them (e.g. repeat prescription query) and then at the end of the call, do a "Columbo". I.e. "Oh just one more thing, my mother is due her second vaccine, but we've not heard anything. Has something gone awry?". I did this for my...

    [Albion] Amex expansion.

    Make that 2. Looks like 30 per row by my reckoning. I hope everyone has been on a diet over the last year! Before: After:

    [Misc] Places in songs that you had a romantic view of before you saw the place in the flesh

    My wife likes Keane and thus I've heard their song "Sovereign Light Café" a lot. It's an actual café in Bexhill. It has a wonderfully romantic and evocative name so I thought it must be up there with the De La Warr pavilion in terms of architectural beauty. This is the Sovereign Light Café...

    [News] Just 3 years for killing a boy through dangerous driving

    Yes of course. I was walking my daughter to school. I am not sure I could claim the moral high ground if I was driving and decided to video another driver.

    [News] Just 3 years for killing a boy through dangerous driving

    Sadly I see multiple drivers using their phones every single day when I walk my daughter to school. A lot of people have them on their laps, but glancing down repeatedly is such a giveaway. Depressingly, a large proportion of people will flout the law if they think they will get away with it...

    [News] Just 3 years for killing a boy through dangerous driving

    Crazy isn't it? Our society effectively treats driving as a right so precious that it can only ever be removed temporarily even for the most egregious of cases.
