    [Misc] What's your most recent YouTube 'rabbit hole'?

    4K UHD videos. I had no idea the format existed and how clear the picture is: looks like you could just walk into the video. I’ve enjoyed the historical kind, like this one: And also silent, night-time tours of cities, like these:

    [Football] Transfer Deadline Day

    100% agree with this, especially the part in bold. Club need to be quieter about their ambitions if they don’t want fans to start questioning whether their words match reality.

    [Albion] Christian Walton (permanent transfer to Ipswich)

    Living in Suffolk I follow Town. It's very likely Walton will go straight in as the starter. Their current no.1, Hladký, is a new signing and isn't covering himself in glory at the moment - nor is the entire back four. They've failed to win all season, despite 17 new signings, and have drawn all...

    [Football] Percy Tau

    Ah yes, true about the work permit - my bad. Re: improvement, I’ll believe it when I see that points tally rising above 41 at the end of the current season! :wink:

    [Football] Percy Tau

    Not really. He joined us when we were a PL club finishing with around 40 points, and 3 years on we’re in exactly the same position. And when he joined we shipped him out on loan, probably because his level of ability didn’t suit us - and apparently still doesn’t. But anyway, like others have...

    Well, that was a waste of time.

    [Football] Football Focus - WTF

    In contrast, Kelly Somers doing a smashing job so far hosting Final Score. I remember Dan and Sam taking a couple of days to click on the Olympic Breakfast show. Hopefully Alex will find her stride, although her elocution isn’t brilliant (then again many of the pundits’ is worse). At least it’s...

    Not gonna lie, I’d probably be one of them... :moo:

    [Football] Brentford - Am I Unfair in finding them annoying even before they've kicked a ball?

    In many ways yes, because it’d make the next season a heck of a lot more exciting in the Championship than a 6th year of battling relegation. At some point we either need to kick on or get out. Football is about excitement for me, not purely status. I know I’m probably in the minority and I...

    [Football] Brentford - Am I Unfair in finding them annoying even before they've kicked a ball?

    Really want Brentford to do well. Fact of the matter is for me, Albion should either be pushing for anywhere between 11th-14th and thus remain unconcerned about Brentford or any of the other bottom 3 contenders, or be relegated. Many fans will disagree with me but I really don’t see the point of...

    [Albion] Ben Foster Predicts Brighton to be Relegated

    From where we stand today, I’d agree with him.

    [Football] Football as we knew it is back

    Was at Portman Road yesterday among a crowd of 21,000. Felt very normal although I still didn’t feel 100% comfortable - wore my mask in the stand all game. Some did, most didn’t.

    [Football] Tyrone Mings Quick Out Of The Traps......

    People have been incredibly quick to condemn THPP without properly reflecting on how cases like Tyrone Mings effects the way we approach football (and sport) as fans and how the implications for the wider game. Firstly, people have very short memories. Mings said his mental health plummeted in...

    [Football] Bobby Robson: More than a manager

    Legend. Love some of the footage in the film of his time with Ipswich. He is indeed a hero in these parts.

    [Other Sport] Simone Biles

    If my post came across as wistful then none of it was intentional! To the contrary really as pundits still regularly make the sort of comments I was referring to in my post.

    [Other Sport] Simone Biles

    Interesting responses on this thread. I'm going to play devil's advocate (not to be an arse but out of genuine curiosity for the answer) and ask what would people's responses be to, let's say Lewis Dunk, pulling out of the FA Cup Final 20 minutes in after a poor start for the Albion, to protect...

    [Football] Worst journalist/pundit predictions in footballing history

    And I imagine in that situation if one of the writers had replied and said “fair do’s, I got this one completely wrong”, we’d instantly back down as we’re all human and most of us are forgiving if people have made a mistake and hold their hands up. It’s the convenient acting like it never...

    [Football] Worst journalist/pundit predictions in footballing history

    I was just watching this video on how a selection of British newspapers reported England’s Euro 2020 campaign. It struck me how many predictions so-called experts make turn out to be completely wrong. Some highlighted in the video are: - Rio Ferdinand slating Maguire’s inclusion in the squad...
