And if you think it's 'other' (which on balance I probably do) then aren't there two types of 'other' - ie trans women and trans men?

I don't know enough about this entire subject to think that my opinion should matter, but it seems to me that the law ruling on this is a bit like the law deciding that Rwanda is a safe country. The law can say what it likes but it doesn't make it so.

We can still finish in the top half of the top flight for only the third time in our history, and eighth - which would be our second-highest finish ever - is not impossible, however unlikely. So I have to feel positively about this season. Mind you, I still look forward to every single...

What none of these pieces of clickbait mentions - and you'd think it was rather important - is that Potter made the club signing Webster a condition of his coming to us from Swansea. So there might be more in the story than usual, but as the writers didn't seem to know this ...

I know that Bournemouth have refused The Athletic accreditation at times this season because they don't think they're getting adequate coverage. Maybe Brentford are doing the same. The real AN certainly wasn't in the press box yesterday.

I was in the mixed zone about 30 minutes after the final whistle waiting to speak to players (nobody spoke) when JP was wheeled out on what looked like a hospital trolley to a waiting ambulance. He looked barely conscious and was still on oxygen. At that point I wouldn’t have put money on him...

I imagine TB would have been disappointed with the position after his summer outlay if it had all gone on 27-year-old established Premier League players. But it didn’t.

To the BBC website: "We made our bed and we have to lie in it. It's not good enough," said Welbeck. "There have been so many of these performances throughout the season. We need to play far more collectively. Fight for each other more. It was evident that we weren't doing that." When one of the...

I don't think FH can be judged until he has something like a fully-fit squad to pick from. And until the recruitment people find him a central defender with some pace. Until that happens we are always going to struggle against sides like Brentford.

"Five-goal thumping of witless Crystal Palace" according to the report in the i paper. Lovely.

Thrown in jail?

I agree that we have to take each season on its own merits, and judge the present campaign on, for example, the level of investment last summer, but also the horrendous injury list and the loss of Pascal Gross. However, IMHO it adds to the joy of supporting the Albion to put everything into a...

It's not just bottom three sides, though, is it? Struggling teams generally, say, bottom six - and it's the home results, where teams defend in numbers. What is most disappointing in those situations is when we finally score but then give goals away ourselves. If you take both the Leicester and...

Started away to Wolves two games ago, but hooked at half time.

The people who make the decisions at the club love him, and I don't think that's going to change soon.

On a related subject, I thought Baleba looked immensely promising in central defence and would give us that left-footed option with a bit of pace. But that, of course, would take away our best defensive midfield player. Such a shame he's not twins.

Those injuries may not be entirely unconnected to that long 2023-24 season.

I'm told that England training last summer was pretty much full-on every day and after that Dunk had a very brief holiday before coming back for pre-season. He's running on fumes right now.

I had a TURP last year, general anesthetic so didn't feel a thing, and it has improved things a lot.

Verbruggen Hinsh Dunk Pervis Solly Baleba Gomez Minteh Joao Pedro Adingra (assuming Mitoma is injured) Welbeck Subs: Wieffer, Ayari, Gruda, O'Riley. Plus five others who won't come on. Maybe Cashin for 10 minutes if we're 3-0 up.
