    [News] Delta Flight from Minneapolis to Toronto crashes on runway at Toronto Pearson Airport flips upside down

    I’ve just seen ground based footage of the location, and there is very clearly heavy snow, and the windsock is fully horizontal in strong winds. No idea how the fire chief could say dry runway and no sidewinds. Passengers had not been advised to prepare for a hazardous landing, one interview...

    [News] Delta Flight from Minneapolis to Toronto crashes on runway at Toronto Pearson Airport flips upside down

    What’s weird is that the local fire chief in his press conference very clearly stated that the runway was dry and that there were no cross winds. But it is also clear from video footage at the time the plane was being sprayed on its back that there was snow on e ground (and there had been up to...

    You must have plead for clemency…..

    [Albion] Positives tonight v Chelsea part deux.

    Right now, on tonight’s performance, and recent form. I wouldn’t take any of those.

    [Albion] Carlos Baleba

    If you had said, pre-match, there is a 5 foot 10, well built commanding black midfielder out there tonight worth well north of £100m, who is he? Every neutral would have gone MC. But post match, they would all be going CB. Terrific physical performance. Huge value.

    [Albion] Positives tonight v Chelsea part deux.

    Really? Lamptey looked at least as good as Perv. Webster looked at least as good as Dunk. Hinsh looked at least as good as Ayari. So, who else?

    [Albion] Kaoru Mitoma

    That touch was worth a full £15m alone, no doubt about it.

    [Albion] Trust the process

    Two massive factors tonight. Minteh dropping into RWB. And our readiness to play the long release ball under high press. Well done FH. Fair play. Superb.

    I’m 120+ miles away, am I a dot on this map?

    [Football] Ending Season Ticket Culture

    Understood, and agreed. I just think we would be very close to a tipping point, where many long term hard core fans, like me, would look at the significantly increased cost, and the continuing fall-off in atmosphere, and say “I’m done”.

    [Football] Ending Season Ticket Culture

    My 25/26 season ticket will cost me £32 per game. Add on my train fare of £35, parking fee of £5, and without beer or food it costs me £72 per home game. I’m retired and comfortable, and everyone has to work to a budget, but if my match ticket became more than £40 per game, I would be out, after...

    [Football] Ending Season Ticket Culture

    The club could conceivably change the way it allocates loyalty points to STHs. Rather than giving a block of (whatever the number is) say 200 points, it could just give you 10 points for each home game that the STH actually attends PERSONALLY. That would stop STHs who only attend 6 or 7 home...

    [Politics] Are Labour going to turn this country around?

    My beef is the sheer number of MPs. The USA has 100 Senators for 330 million people, so 3.3 million people per Senator, on average. We have 650 MPs for 65 million people, so 100,000 people per MP. Why do need 33 times as many highly paid politicians as the USA does? If we reduced the number from...

    [Albion] Jack Hinshelwood- vital cog in the machine?

    I rate Jack massively. If he can stay injury free, he strikes me as the sort of chap who will stay loyal, I honestly think he could be the keystone of our team over the next 3 seasons. He has energy, courage, knowledge, intelligence, brain, stamina, two good feet, great vertical lift. I really...
