    [Football] Albion's Hardest Ever Player (AHEP) 2025. Nominations

    But just in case some idiots fail to agree with me, I'll add/endorse Rougvie, Cullip, Stant, and of course Paul Brooker.

    [Albion] FA Cup 5th Round draw - Newcastle away

    We never win at Preston. Anyway it'll be Bournemouth away, as that is just about the worst draw possible. Tough game and not enough tickets. It'll be shite.

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    It'll be interesting to see how many people cheer him in future when all his moronic tariffs begin to bite, costing thousands of American jobs. He's a total moron, voted for by morons. Nothing we can do about it though, except just watch aghast as he makes a mess of the economy even worse that...

    [Albion] Chelsea fans - 6,000 or 600?

    As for Chelsea and their crap church mouse fans, they remain the one club I'd really laugh out loudly at if they went bust. I mean I hate Portsmouth, don't much like Bournemouth and Reading, hold some big London clubs in total disdain and obviously the same goes for one particularly small...

    [Albion] Chelsea fans - 6,000 or 600?

    Yep, we all turned up expecting the team to turn it in against League One minnows and breeze into the next round. But the team didn't perform and us fans didn't respond by trying to lift them. Poor all round really

    Well get Bournemouth away, you watch. Palace will get Plymouth at home obviously.

    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    Has Ruud Van Nistelrooy blamed him for yesterday's winning, offside-by-10-feet goal yet?

    [Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round 7-11/2/25

    Fair play. I disagree but that's fine. Anyway in theory VAR should work in our favour as it should help neutralise that unconscious bias that officials seem to have when at a big club's ground.

    [Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round 7-11/2/25

    Possibly. I know sometimes it takes too long to arrive at a decision in which case they should revert to the original on field decision. And if people want to say they dislike VAR because of these delays then I can respect that. My personal opinion is that such delays will eventually be ironed...

    Did you make that up yourself? I'll rephrase that: You made that up yourself. I'm afraid it shows.

    [Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round 7-11/2/25

    What are you talking about? How has VAR ever made anything actively worse this season? It was being used to give stupid hand balls in its first year, but since then the decisions have been 99% spot on. If you want to criticise it, you can talk about delays, but this idea that it makes things...

    [Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round 7-11/2/25

    That's just not true. The only time we've seen it be too slow was for the Southampton goal that was ruled out, and even that I can sort of understand.

    [Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round 7-11/2/25

    No there really aren't "loads of examples" of VAR getting it wrong. You've named one, and I doubt you could name more than 1, maybe 2 more. And clearly RvN is wrong, because with VAR in place, that goal wouldn't have stood. Mistakes have always happened, and some of them have been far more...

    [Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round 7-11/2/25

    Funny, I'm firmly FOR VAR, and find myself not needing to organise or even express my thoughts in the face of that.

    [Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round 7-11/2/25

    The thing is, that sort of decision was always rife in the game. It's nothing new and VAR is certainly not responsible for lower officiating standards when it gets switched off. There are sticks to beat VAR with - notably the delay it involves (which statistically is actually now improving) -...

    No they weren't. That is absolute horseshit.

    [Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round 7-11/2/25

    VAR fixes that in ten seconds. People moaning at VAR forget the frequency this sort of shit decision used to happen. Imagine that was us at Old Trafford and our season just ended because of that. Christ.
