Someone on our Albion WhatsApp pointed out the date earlier this evening.

I found this one of the most accurate looks at what methods drive us: It's Tony. It's always been Tony and he's the one thing Chelsea can't buy.

This started out as the question: 'Do you own too many albums by a particular artist?' Okay, so the obvious answer might be 'Yes, I've got Queen's Greatest Hits', but what I meant was: Do you have a musical artist, who you like and who you keep buying the back catalogue of, despite being...

Always funny. This week's description of Mitoma's touch added poetry to the comedy: https://www.theguardian.com/football/picture/2025/feb/18/david-squires-celebrating-the-beauty-in-football-amid-everything-else

Another PR exercise from a pizza company piggybacking on the Hawaian pizza schism: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/jan/14/norwich-restaurant-charges-100-for-hawaiian-pineapple-pizza What I don't get about the whole business is the preciousness of those who get so het up about the issue...

Okay the result wasn't what we wanted, but we've just gone above Man City! The BBC says that it's not on alphabetical order, but on our head to head result against them. Okay we're very unlikely to end the weekend second, but if Liverpool beat City we'll have had a disappointing result that...

In great form, looking confident, closer and closer to full strength and playing Friday night at home against the team that is bottom of the table. A win, or even a score draw, would put us second in the league, if only for a night. Well we've all been Albion fans long enough to know what...

After @el punal 's request for songs that reference US states, can we provide an A-Z Guide to Music's thoroughfares? Name songs that reference Streets, Avenues, Roads etc. Extra kudos if the street is real and you can map it to a city, town, post/zip code etc. Start in Belfast BT5 5NT And...

Between 2022/23 and now teenagers have scored a total of 64 goals in the EPL and provided 40 assists. Brighton have 24 goals and 8 assists from Buonanotte, Colwill, Enciso, Ferguson & Hinshelwood; Man Utd have 13 goals and 8 assists from Garnacho, Mainoo and Forson; Southampton have 6 goals and...

Okay, the obvious answers are 'because Chelsea gave us 200 million quid' or 'because Tony wants us back in Europe', but I'm wondering whether any of our financial whizzes can shed any light on the timing and whether there is a likely connection with the new FFP/PSR rules...

Friday night happily eating chocolate, finishing off the last of the Metaxa and watching old TotP and it seems that pop music went decidedly downhill when acts started using the term (featuring...) There must be some exceptions to this rule... Call NSC.

If you order the 20 EPL teams by current wage bill, the league should look like this: 1) Man Utd, 2) Man City, 3) Arsenal, 4) Chelsea, 5) Liverpool, 6) Spurs, 7) Villa, 8) West Ham, 9) Newcastle, 10) Everton, 11) Forest, 12) Palace, 13) Fulham, 14) Brighton, 15) Wolves, 16) Bournemouth, 17)...

RDZ in his press conference last night said that we are about playing young players and that young players have to be given the chance to play and make their mistakes in order to improve. He took pains to point out that although Barco made a mistake for the third goal, he 'played a good game'...

It seems to me that last year's achievements may have made some of us presume that we automatically belong in the highest echelons of European football and that us fans are being let down by every disappointing result, so in response to the recent spate of woe is us/sack everyone threads, here's...

Last night was gutting. It's never nice to be on the wrong side of a heavy defeat. It's never nice to get knocked out of a cup competition. (I know we're not technically yet). However, the team gets very little time for analysis and it's straight on to Forest at the weekend and then...

Without Pervis, Lamps & Solly, we have to fit square pegs into round holes to cover at full back. Veltman is a natural right back, but we have nobody fit who has played regularly as a left back. The last of Igor's 11 games in the position was in 2021. Milner did a season there for Liverpool...

Thinking about Trotskyism because of the discussions on the 'Tory Meltdown' thread has reminded me that one of the greatest bands of the eighties, The Redskins sadly made just one album during their career. There was a live album put out some years later, but during their time together, they...

Six changes yesterday away at a team that hadn't lost at home for a year. Dahoud came in for Gilmour who has arguably been the key player in the last few games and he helped us run the midfield. Welbeck replaced Ferguson after his hat-trick against Newcastle and was one of the best players...

After all the talk of how many more South American countries we need a player from, here is the current FIFA Top 100 and confirmation of whether we have had a player from that nation and whether we've had someone who has played international football for them. I'm sure some of it will be wrong...

Disappointing that Amol Rajin, and not Samira Ahmed, has replaced Paxman, but 'University Challenge' is back next week: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jul/14/new-host-new-set-same-fiendish-questions-behind-the-scenes-with-the-all-new-university-challenge The wonderful 'Only...
