    [Politics] WWIII

    One rationale I read is that Biden's administration has been keen to leave Putin an 'off-ramp' throughout in the hope a diplomatic solution could be achieved. The reason they acted at this point is not to do with Trump - it's because Putin has called in the North Koreans, building things up...

    [Albion] The Amex for sale, kind of…..

    Proper Albion logos all over this stuff but is it actually club merchandise? I’m confused.

    [Football] David Coote

    If anyone tries to tell you his comments mean referees are corrupt, point them towards this. His record on Liverpool games favours them significantly, rather than having some anti-Red agenda. Nothing to see here apart from the usual (in my opinion unconscious) bias towards the bigger clubs...

    [Football] Maccabi Tel Aviv match moved

    Hungary seems to be the destination of choice. That's where Israel have been playing their international 'home' fixtures too.

    [Football] How much did you pay for your first game?

    Not sure but I think my season ticket for the East Stand in the early 80s, as a kid, was £50.

    [Football] Next MOTD Host

    I'm fairly sure they're restricted by the rights in the duration of highlights they can show from each match, so you'd just get a shorter programme.

    Kate Abdo needs to go on the list.

    [Albion] Scouting team sacked

    That line stood out for me too. The stuff later in the article saying that Bloom thinks data is better than humans seems a stretch to make it more of a story. Considering how many of our recruitment team have gone to other clubs - and how close some of our scouts may have been to them - perhaps...

    [Albion] Adingra

    He played on the left in the Final of the Africa Cup of Nations too and was very, very dangerous. Seems surprising he prefers the right side.

    [Albion] Chelsea "fans" abuse

    Fair enough. Personally I couldn't give a toss what any self-appointed motormouth thinks. Prefer to listen to interesting stuff from people with some insight.

    [Palace] #cpfc

    But at least they'll have time to change the plans so it faces in the right direction, looking away from the pitch.

    [Albion] Chelsea "fans" abuse

    I agree with everything he says but, at the same time, who is he and who cares?

    [Albion] The Ref Today: BHA vs Man City 09/11/24

    I will say one thing in defence of referees and clubs playing the title contenders. It can be the case that the less-heralded team gives away a succession of niggly fouls because they're absolutely at full stretch trying to match their opponents' level. So not big clattering challenges, just...

    [Albion] Oh Pep

    If you’re a young defender with a great future, you’re not going to tell a legend like Guardiola to piss off because any footballer would love to play for him one day. Which is why it’s totally out of order to be speaking to opposition players at all, whether he’s berating them or tapping them up.

    [Albion] Oh Pep

    Perhaps he thought they were playing the Last Post for City’s title prospects.

    [Albion] How close is this squad to being top 4?

    I think the usual suspects all have 3 or 4 players better than anyone we’ve got and more experience of handling important games. However, there’s a bigger drop off in standard to many of their back-up players. We have an entire squad of interchangeable players of a very high standard when they...

    [Albion] Chelsea "fans" abuse

    Carragher has always been mad about football and I think would respect what Albion have achieved. Disappointing he didn’t challenge this publicity seeking no-mark on a blatantly ludicrous stance.

    [Albion] Man City arriving on the back of three straight defeats

    For me, the defensive stance at Newcastle was a specific tactic intended to work against opponents known to have trouble breaking down sides that sit deep. Haven't noticed us playing like that elsewhere. Tailoring the approach to circumstances seems like a strength to me, rather than playing in...
