    [Football] Are we heading towards Arab states running Elite football?

    Several reasons. Mainly, what if you're one of the teams relegated for the final time? Let's consider there's a vote this summer and that there's no relegation from the PL in 26/27. How are teams going to vote? The three coming up? No way would they vote for it. Teams like West Ham and Wolves...

    [Football] Are we heading towards Arab states running Elite football?

    I'm still not convinced by this: US investors have bought into English football because of what it is: strongly competitive, relegations and promotions adding to the spice and partisan crowds. If they change it too much, the product would change. And what could they introduce that make a...

    [Albion] Kicking Ourselves

    Imagine how sick we'll be when Evan scores 20 goals next season. There's a player there, he just needs to get his mojo back

    [Albion] Will Danny Welbeck make it to 100 Premier League Goals?

    It's sad to see that two of them are no longer with us :down:

    [Albion] What are the greatest quality Albion goals of ALL TIME?

    I want to mention one that's not famous and wasn't scored by one of our superstars but there was a cracker from Gerry Fell against Southend. He got the ball somewhere around the halfway line, powered past two players and hit a screamer from about 25m, goalie scarcely moved. He didn't score that...

    [Help] Gas boiler advice needed

    But this is what's confusing me. The boiler engineer says he's not qualified to fix it and the plumber we use says she's not qualifed. So who do we use? I think I'll ring up the boiler company and ask them

    [Help] Gas boiler advice needed

    :lolol: Who does that? I'm confused because when I do a search to get it fixed, I get a list of gas heating engineers but we had one of those from the company and he expressly said that he wasn't qualified. That's why I'm trying to find out who is

    [Help] Gas boiler advice needed

    Our combi boiler underwent its yearly check a few weeks ago and the engineer who did it said that the overflow pipe and flue needed replacing but it wasn't something he could do. The question is: how does do that? Is it a plumber job? And how expensive are we talking?

    [Humour] I Never Used to Have to Take This Lot on Holiday!

    Hey, I'm 70 next year and I don't take any medication away with me. If I'm ill, I'll get something there

    That's my guess too. Away as well

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    I was chatting to an old work colleague this evening. She stood as a Reform candidate in the recent council elections but didn't get in. Interestingly, she was very dismissive of Farage, thinking of him as a complete chancer. She also thinks that the party is hugely disorganised. I could have...

    [Music] Brian Wilson beach boy - RIP

    Blimey, Sly Stone and Brian Wilson in the same week - two musical innovators who completely changed the face of popular music I can't say I was the biggest fan of the Beach Boys but they had some absolute humdingers. IMO, God Only Knows is one of the great pop songs What a collection of hits...

    [News] Children in England growing up ‘sedentary, scrolling and alone’, say experts

    I don't get this. Why is it hard? There are dozens of clubs available to kids. Do you mean that it's hard for kids to play sports? That was the whole point of the research; if you get them playing, then they'll want to continue in a more formal environment ie within clubs
