    [Albion] The first goal

    This. I can accept that perhaps Bart hesitated and thus didn't leave Rashford with a decision to make, but frankly he should never have been left with a one on one from that position.

    [Football] Is there now a relegation battle after all?

    Go back to bed @Dr. No. It's so obviously a no that even you're not needed here.

    [Albion] Not entirely sure what a penalty is any more....

    Truth be told, there needs to be a revamp around the penalty rules because foul decisions that don't attract scrutiny elsewhere on the pitch obviously do in the penalty area because of the jeopardy. I think there needs to be an option to cater for minor infringements in the penalty area...

    [Football] Man City WILL BE RELEGATED from Premier League, says Football Finance Expert

    I believe this is correct, and was a hastily written rule after Liverpool won the Champions League against Milan in 2005 having finished outside the top 4 (or 3?). Without it, UEFA were left with an absurd situation where the holders weren't going to be able to defend their title.

    [Albion] Do you expect us to take points off Palace?

    This is something that is being a bit overlooked I think. I suspect even Liverpool or Man City would struggle to beat Forest and Villa on current form. We went toe-to-toe with both and we have been in-form ourselves, and it is demoralising that we ended up on the wrong side of both results...

    [Albion] The first goal

    There's absolutely no way that goal is in any way on Bart. None. He has issues with his keeping for sure, but that goal came from rank bad defending. There's no way it should have come to a one on one with Verbruggen in the first place.

    [Football] Albion’s quickest write off

    Ooh good shout. He was absolute toilet.

    [Albion] Do you expect us to take points off Palace?

    We're capable of winning. We won't though. It'll be a draw.

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    There's nothing wrong with judging a performance. If he was shit, it's fine to say he was shit. If you've got reservations about his transfer fee, that's fine too. Stating he's money wasted after 20 minutes of football is obviously a bit hasty, but he was shit and cost us the goal that...

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    Bit early to call it money wasted but he was rumoured to be way off the required level, and that performance does kind of suggest this is the case

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    Right, so I commented on Martin Tyler's embarrassing crying because people were expressing that Cashin didn't have a good game. Have a read of every comment before his and you point out to me a single comment where he's being written off. Absolutely pathetic overreaction to people daring to...

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    Are we not allowed to call him shit when he's been shit then?

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***

    Yes, after thrashing 9 point Southampton, they'll be fancying their chances against a European chasing team I'm sure.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***

    Palace losing, Bournemouth losing, Newcastle drawing. This would be disappointing but other results are at least going our way for now.

    Yes. So is gifting money 7 years in advance. And yet despite this, it remains one of the most effective ways of redistributing wealth.

    [Albion] Beat Villa and lose to Palace, or lose to Villa and then beat Palace?

    I've gone for the Villa win. The Palace loss would hurt, but I'll remind you of the deal you took when we are in the quarter finals of the Europa League in the upper tier of the San Siro, while Palace are smugly telling us what a magician their latest manager is (let's call him Nathan Jones)...

    [Politics] Gary's Economics

    I still maintain that clobbering people with inheritance tax is likely to be the most effective way of doing what he suggests. Income tax has done far too much of the heavy lifting down the years and doesn't penalise those who benefit from unearned wealth, VAT is brutally unfair on the poor and...

    [Albion] Premier League 1-3/4/25

    Ah now I'm finding myself largely in agreement with you. We can't be disparaging of Forest given what they've done this season because it comes across as very bitter. And yes, I think your comparison with Brentford is much fairer because any comparison with Everton is going to be considered...
