    [Albion] Premier League 1-3/4/25

    Firstly, I agree with you - my suspicion is that Potter only has one way of playing (just as RDZ had only one way of playing). But given that Potter has come into that club with no threat of relegation whatsoever, he can afford to spend this third of a season finding out who will fit in with...

    [Albion] Premier League 1-3/4/25

    On the one hand you say they play Everton football but with several players much better than Everton's. Yet on the other, in your previous post, you listed two as utter crap (Yates and one other) and most of the rest as "run of the mill". The fact is, they are a good side. They are third, and...

    [Albion] Premier League 1-3/4/25

    There are lots of differences between Everton and Forest. Forest are third, and that's for a reason - their manager has them organised and has recruited VERY well. There's so much bitterness on here towards Forest since they beat us, but how about the fact they were the most organised team...

    [Albion] Premier League 1-3/4/25

    I'm not sure we can really judge Potter until he's had a season to recruit. We know that his MO is lots of sideways passing and possession, but if he can recruit a team that fits that philosophy and continues to improve then he's doing his job. Meanwhile, I am amused at how dull his current...

    [Politics] Gary's Economics

    Yeah he pops up a lot when I go down YouTube rabbit holes. His ideas are interesting, but sometimes I find it lacks any economic substance or offers much in the way of solutions.

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson **Loaned to West Ham 03/02/2025**

    He's certainly working his magic there. Lots of dreary sideways football is the complaint, with the jury on Potter very much out. He'll be in league one with Nathan Jones inside 18 months (if he can be arsed to carry on)

    [Albion] Going to be pretty empty for the Villa game

    I'm sure you're right but the difference in space is absolutely huge compared to all other areas of the stadium.

    [Albion] Going to be pretty empty for the Villa game

    Indeed. I'm not sure why the West Upper is by far the most cramped concourse in the stadium, but it puts me off going there regularly.

    That's like saying Evan Ferguson is back in form.

    Can't stand the Yankees but Judge is just immense. Those RBI figures are even better when you consider he was also intentionally walked in at least one inning.

    [Football] So with Plucky out, who do you want to win the FA Cup?

    Interesting that the OP prefixed the question with "So with Plucky out...". As if them being still in would have made much difference to most of us. Having PLB winning a trophy would be about 50% as unbearable as Palace winning one, but that's still pretty f##king unbearable.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion v Aston Villa *** SCORE PREDICTOR ***

    Morale among fans is low, and my gut feeling is another shite defeat. But we've seen this before, and somehow Fab gets them to overcome disappointment, so I'm putting my trust in him to do that and bounce back with another fine 2-0 win.

    I would have done before this weekend, but now there is a very real chance that Villa/Palace win the cup, thus taking the last available European spot further up the table. I think we need to win these games now.

    [Albion] Premier League 1-3/4/25

    The first of a pair of matches seeing us face a team with twatty fans who will spend the whole game singing "que sera sera". Let's hope we win them both. In the last minute.
