    [Technology] Has anybody come off of Twitter / X? How easy did you find it?

    Yeah. I was a casual user but deleted it when Musk started reinstating white supremacist accounts and allowing (and in some cases endorsing) all sorts of horrible behaviour. Delete the app and you'll soon get past it. It's also worth reading "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products". It's...

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    I was recently given a £5 premium bond bought as a gift by my grandparents when I was born (I'm in my 40s). I went through the hassle of getting it registered online to find that it is now worth.... £5. For the sake of comparison, £5 invested in the FTSE 100 would now be worth £40.60. What...

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    He looks ok as someone there to break up play but his first touch and composure under any sort of pressure look weak. Hopefully he'll come good.

    [Palace] #cpfc

    TBF Dahoud was one of our highest earners so it looks like a very similar deal.

    [Albion] Hürzeler’s substitutions

    Barco looks good going forward but pretty weak defensively. However, he's only a kid so plenty of time to fix that part of his game. From the little we've seen so far, Ferdi looks OK going forward but woeful defensively. Hopefully everyone improves and we're soon worrying what to do about...

    [Albion] Estupinan on at half-time

    Ferdi looks lost in terms of defending thus far. He gets beaten so easily and is often well out of position. Hopefully it's just a matter of him learning the system etc but it's a bit of a concern. Fair play to Pervis, he had a really good half.

    [Music] ABBA Voyage

    I see that a similar show is being developed for KISS in the states. Likely to be in Vegas.

    [Albion] Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Going forward ok but Sancho has beaten him time and again.

    [Albion] Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    It's a bit early to be writing off £200m but none of the new signings have really shown a huge amount yet, have they?

    [Albion] Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Pervis is a concern. He's had lots of injuries, and that great first season, but he has been consistently awful for quite a while now.

    [Albion] Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Genuinely shocking defending both individually and tactically. It's so easy to get in on goal. Wieffer a passenger so far and Ferdi looks absolutely clueless defensively.

    [Albion] Ferdi Kadioglu **Singed 27/08/24**

    Not a comment on where Ferdi's best position is but I think we let Barco go on loan because, despite his undoubted talent on the ball, he needs a LOT of work in terms of his defensive game.

    Great show.

    [Albion] Hürzeler's pre-Ipswich presser

    Suggestion is he's perhaps seen as one for the future (like Osman, say) rather than going straight in to the squad (like Minteh).

    [Albion] Hürzeler's pre-Ipswich presser

    Any mention of Gruda? I've heard suggestions that he's not considered "PL ready" yet even when fit.

    [Albion] Bart Verbruggen SINGS a 5-year deal

    He's an incredible prospect. He doesn't have any obvious weaknesses and is still so young. He's good in the air, a great shot stopper and comfortable on the ball. If he keeps progressing, there's no reason why he couldn't end up at Madrid.

    [Football] Who is going down this year?

    Saints (poor) Leicester (docked points) Man City (as a result of the charges)

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    Locadia is at Intercity in the Spanish 3rd tier. Ali J is unattached (in football terms).

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    Just noticed that Ali J was released by Feyenoord at the end of the season and is now without a club. I wonder where he'll turn up next.

    [Albion] Strong wind and heavy rain forecast tomorrow.

    It's a great introduction to English summers for Ferdi and co.
