    [Football] Craig Bellamy

    New Wales coach. https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/13175352/craig-bellamy-former-wales-captain-bellamy-succeeds-rob-page-as-national-team-manager Am I alone in thinking he shouldn’t even be in charge of a pack of crayons?

    [Football] Jordan Pickford

    Thought I’d break out a conversation from the older England threads. I have to say if I was in a penalty shoot out there are only two EPL keepers I’d want on my side; Martinez and Pickford. And JP is also pretty handy at the whole saving and defence organising thing. On the other hand, he has...

    [Albion] WAB’s Villains of the Season

    Great choice. 👍

    [News] Is the NHS Fit For Purpose

    Simple question. Given the news about Ken on another thread, do NSC believe the NHS in its current form is fit for purpose? https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/ken-valder.408478/

    [Albion] Training the forward group separately

    Since we're talking about Potter and also about the legends night at the Theatre Royal, let's get NSC's opinion on this. One of the famous things about the Potter era was that we never quite matched our xG with real goals. There were some good debates on here about whether you could...

    [Travel] 2x return from Newcastle to London on LNER. Guess how much?

    2 anytime returns (because off peak no longer exists) from Newcastle to London, standard class, quoted on Twitter. Guess the price (range).

    [Albion] Does football need more De Zerbis or more Barbers?

    As title. Does the game of football need more passionate, knee sliding lunatics who might be slightly flawed or more good C level administrators?

    [Football] Schalke on the edge of existence....

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckr5yy29k82o Decent article this, and a warning that even the biggest, most successful clubs are never actually that far from the edge.

    [Albion] Not sure why everyone’s so upset about results on the pitch

    We’ve just made £120 million profit, are widely regarded by football writers as “well run” and have a long term plan to be successful. Surely that’s enough for working class fans paying hundreds of pounds a month to follow us all over the country? :shrug: :moo:

    [Football] What are the best law changes in the game’s history?

    Made this point on the FA Cup thread but to me it warrants its own discussion. In my lifetime three law changes have made the game better to watch by a huge degree. They are the back pass law change, three points for a win and changing offside so you are on if you’re level. VAR is regressing...

    [Football] IFAB Keeper Timewasting Experiment

    New rules to be trialled at junior level apparently to replace the never enforced six second rule. Essentially: 8 seconds to release always enforced. Signalled ref countdown from 5 seconds. Indirect free kick replaced with either a throw or corner to the other team. Keeper warned on first...

    [Misc] Is my fit drip?

    Just been asked this by youngest GB (who was grinning in the certain knowledge I wouldn’t know what she was on about). It marks the first time I’ve been totally at a loss to understand anything in a sentence a young person has said to me, in context. Has this happened to you yet? If so what...

    [Football] Is there a team more deserving of rotting in League One than Brentford?

    Boring pricks. I’d rather Luton stayed up than them.

    [Albion] Away atmosphere

    Didn’t hear us at all today. Normally we’re one of the best away fans for singing and atmosphere, though it has been going downhill a bit this season. Those who went - was this just the telly & it was ok in the ground? Anyone else think the same from telly / radio? If it was quieter was the...

    [Albion] Andy aka The Other One gofundme

    Seen a few posts on here about financial assistance for the lads who were stabbed in Rome. While Jack was fully insured and is not out of pocket Andy wasn’t and has incurred costs for stolen goods and lost passport. I’m going to set up a gofundme page for NSC to help out but I need a few...
