    [Football] Fixed odds betting machines.

    I'm not the first on here to say but I wholeheartedly agree with this. The entire industry is built on companies creating a situation where they cannot lose. It's simply a tax on the vulnerable because those who can control themselves do so.

    [Albion] Player ratings - Southampton (H)

    Haha please look at my original post and then read your completely mad response again. 1. My post was neither shouty nor outrageous and had only 1 part within it which could be possibly be construed as contradictory but which I've already explained isn't. Your mate Dave down the pub must hold...

    [Albion] Player ratings - Southampton (H)

    Christ what an aggy response. 1. 'He reminds me a little bit' was the phrase I used, not 'hes the spitting image of'. Regardless, he's a quick, tricky, wide player who takes people on, cuts in on his wing, takes shots and is happy dropping into the middle when needed as well - I'll refer you to...

    [Albion] Player ratings - Southampton (H)

    He's not there quite yet but I'm starting to get a little buzz of excitement every time Izquierdo has the ball. He reminds me a little bit of Portuguese Ronaldo in his early days at Man United. Hope he turns out to be a great player for us. Him down the left, Knockaert down the right, Gross in...

    Marathon Thread

    I'm running the Istanbul marathon on November 12th. Anyone else on here doing it on the off chance? This is my 2nd after Paris in 2015 and I'm hoping to get into London via charity place for my 3rd as well. I'm planning to give marathons a break after London until I'm bored with kids in my late...

    Pubs in Clapham

    The Alexandra is pretty crap - there are way better places on Clapham High Street way. Falcon is a good choice but don't confuse the Falcon in Clapham North with the shit one that is on the corner by Clapham Junction. The Merchant of Battersea on Battersea rise has a load of screens and is...

    London Fans! ASSEMBLE!

    Yesssss. Me and a few mates are looking into it at the moment. Probably going to try to be either central or South West (clapham way) unless you have any better ideas??

    [Albion] Where to watch the Albion in London on Saturday

    I'm in London next Saturday and can't get down to Brighton for the game - has anyone got any suggestions of where to watch the game around Central London? Want to be with as many Brighton fans as...

    Which do you prefer Union or League

    I'm biased as I've played Union all my life. League Centres around running straight and hard so you have much bigger collisions, much bigger tackles and requires much more fitness as the ball is in play for longer. There's more intricacies to union - props winning scrums, locks in line outs...

    Life, And What To Do When You're Fed Up With Yours

    Hey pal, I haven't been able to read through all the answers on here but thought I'd give my two cents as I read this from Colombia having packed in everything in the UK and headed off without much of a plan to Central America. I'm 26 and had been working in finance for 4 years but really...

    Sport is a results driven business so i am told.

    I like this idea, I just don't think it's feasible. Would be very difficulty to move from being an unsuccessful head coach to then becoming performance director. Essentially he'd concede he wasn't good enough at selecting and coaching but accept he's got something to offer. Just not sure it...

    Sport is a results driven business so i am told.

    I don't dislike Lancaster either. I think he's done good things with the England team, his biggest failing is not spending the last 12 months building his first team and his backups for a world cup. He's spent far too long experimenting and his squad selection was categorically insane. Burgess...

    Ever wondered what Twitter looked like in the 1950s?

    I think you have to try very hard to interpret this as sexist. It's saying that they're returning to be normal family members, it's not saying that is all they are in life. It's more a reflection on the fact that a lot of them are amateurs and have a life outside of football. If he'd written...
