    [Politics] Is your MP a pr*ck? Probably

    I beg to differ. I don't want to differ here, but I suspect that even if by 2024, Brexit has caused untold misery, it has become such a polarised, toxic subject that there will still be those who will vote for a Brexit (i.e. Johnson) government no matter what.

    [Politics] Is your MP a pr*ck? Probably

    Johnson has made virtually every vote a three-lined whip vote - especially on Brexit, the economy and, more disturbingly, social issues like feeding vulnerable schoolchildren. He also promised a zero-tolerance approach to those voting against the government. No such thing a free vote in his...

    [Albion] How Green is your Club?

    Love the fact that Brighton, who finished equal second, with Arsenal and Man U, aren't mentioned in the story at all.

    [Albion] Maty Ryan joins Arsenal

    And therein lies my original point. I don't know, but I will take what I do know straight from the horse's mouth - i.e. the goalkeeping coach's point of view, which far outweighs yours or my point of view, and his view differs from yours.

    [Albion] Maty Ryan joins Arsenal

    I've no idea about what happened with Ryan, and I'm not going down the road of hearsay, and just because it's a plausible scenario, it doesn't follow that it's the whole truth, nor that there's any truth. However, what I DO know is that Roberts has always held Sanchez, Steele and Walton in very...

    [Albion] Maty Ryan joins Arsenal

    Well, yes. Unless there's a way that you know better...? Because (1) those are the goalkeepers we do have, and (2) they work with them every day, and know exactly what their capabilities, their strengths and their weaknesses are. Put it this way, a rookie goalkeeper was brought in to replace...

    [Albion] Maty Ryan joins Arsenal

    Thankfully, Graham Potter and Ben Roberts fundamentally disagree.

    [Albion] Maty Ryan joins Arsenal

    You've contradicted your own argument. Sanchez had no PL experience before he was brought in. Walton, on the other hand, has plenty of first team experience.

    [Albion] Albion donate £25k for home school laptops

    I doubt that the level of laptop required is going to be of the highest spec, but I guess you'd have to speak to the school in question. My partner is a primary school teacher, and I know that she has to prepare lessons online AND paper versions to post out.

    [Albion] Albion donate £25k for home school laptops

    The government promised a million. I saw a recent report saying just over 800,000 had been delivered so far. It's estimated 1.5 - 1.8 million children didn't have access to laptops before this roll out, so even the government's promise - while taking up a lot of slack - doesn't cover everyone.

    [Football] The top ten oldest English professional football clubs

    Cracking work, fella. Port Vale's foundation is disputed. Some say 1876, some say 1879. As stated earlier, TSV1860 didn't form a professional football club until 1899. Additional - although Reading FC were formed in 1871, they didn't turn professional until 1895. Does that change things at all?

    [Albion] Albion donate £25k for home school laptops

    Why? A lot of people have donated to the Albion As One fund - players, fans, directors. It's not unreasonable for people to know where their money has gone. And before you say 'so it's not the club that is donating', it's a fund run by the club that is donating.

    [Albion] Albion's BEST ever January signing

    Can fully understand the argument for Knocky - it is of course a very powerful one. But, for me, Knocky may well not have been able to perform to the level he did without a strong midfield to feed him and back him up. You can pick your favourite Stephens/Kayal, Stephens/Sidwell...
