    [Albion] To Avoid Hürzeler Bashing - The Staying Up and Europe Tracker - season 2024-25 Game 38 Update

    It shows some consistent results against a few sides. I think a four season average is a little overkill. Just comparing to the previous season would be enough along with a +/- to 61 would give us an idea of where we are at

    [Albion] Aston Villa to include women's games for loyalty points

    If Mens fixtures are always on a Saturday and Women's fixtures always on a Sunday then this could work. However, travelling away at Newcastle on the same day as a "home" game prohibits this from happening. Rewarding those who attend is a good idea

    [Albion] To Avoid Hürzeler Bashing - The Staying Up and Europe Tracker - season 2024-25 Game 38 Update

    I like this idea as an adjustment or additional feature. However, the tracker is a brilliant thread and the one that brings clarity to a good/bad weekend of fixtures

    [Albion] Why the Albion might be cheering on Sheffield United today at Wembley

    I'm glad that the others have not benefited from this additional £9.5m. We are so comfortable with our finances and that additional fees could've saved one of our competitors from having to part with a potential superstar, just like us poaching Minteh from Newcastle

    [Albion] Hurzeler in conversation with McGhee and Adams

    Our fabulous season in 22/23 finishing 6th was a culmination of incredible strategy from recruitment along with Potters ability to develop talent and RDZs desire to compete for every game/point/pass all orchestrated by Bloom & Barber. Hurzeler has secured us our second best finish and all the...

    [Misc] How competent are you at DIY?

    I have completed plenty of projects over the years, moving stud walls, rewiring electrics, tiling a bathroom, fitting a new kitchen, wallpapering a bedroom and building a BBQ from bricks (toughest one so far). I don't fancy plastering a wall and avoided plumbing so far

    [Football] VAR, 6 years in - Keep it or bin it?

    It is used badly. Rugby allowance the ref to run the game and only use the TMO to check a try infringement or violent conduct but that is instigated via communication between the TMO and ref. 1) We have goal line technology, seems to work fine. 2) We won't ever move away from looking for an...

    [Football] Wenger proposes changes to the offside rule due to VAR

    I'm another vote for onfield decision to stand unless a quick 30s review shows a clear and obvious error. I'd also like to see offside rule altered to only penalise attackers if they are in an offside position both when the ball is passed and when they receive the ball. I don't understand how a...

    [Albion] Ayari - What was he thinking?…

    We've had several "season defining moments". It's been a great season, our second best highest points score in the top league. Some disappointing draws against some poor sides will live longer in my memory than any individual mistakes

    [Albion] Buonanotte and Enciso

    Ayari didn't pull up trees on loan at Blackburn last season. Any of Enciso, Bounannoute or Sarmiento could play their way into contention

    [Albion] List of players that have gone backwards under the current coach

    We play a different style and system than under RDZ which leaves our defense more exposed than previously. Bart has faced more shots, Dunk and Estupinian have been more exposed but we have for a second season had to deal with losing our two centre midfielders. Adingra hasn't had much game time...

    [Albion] List of players that have gone backwards under the current coach

    What a ridiculous thread. We have 51 points, only ever bettered in 22/23. A fabulous season especially considering the huge changes across the squad

    [Albion] Carlos Baleba

    Indeed, the only season we have finished on more points was with the premier leagues most expensive player alongside a world cup winner as the double pivot. That side was amazing

    [Albion] Fabian Hurzeler: IN or OUT

    With a squad that has lost two centre midfielders for the second summer in a row this was always likely to be a transitional season. If we can better last season's 11th it will be a success. We have made some mistakes and look exposed in the centre especially when playing a high line. I...

    [Help] Selling our house...

    We are in a similar position. Mid Sussex, trying to upsize and find a bungalow due to health reasons. We considered an open house but not sure there is a queue of buyers ready to flood in

    [Football] Staying Up Points

    Imagine if Rudd hadn't achieved those 4 points as Interim Manager for United. He has potentially saved them from a woeful season

    [Football] Staying Up Points

    With the promoted 3 seemingly about to become the relegated 3 for the second season in a row. With just 10 (11 for Leicester) games remaining how many points will 17th need to stay up. Personally I think the 33 points for Spurs, West Ham, Everton & Man United is unfortunately enough, but are...

    [Albion] Who misses out?

    At 34, we can expect many of Welbeck's minutes to be from the bench. Joao Pedro having a beastly end to the season could mean a huge summer bid and we don't need that either

    [Albion] Tariq Lamptey

    I'd love to see him sign a new contract. He has slotted in seamlessly in the absence of Pervis. He can play either side of the defence and gives an alternative option in a wide attacking position. I understand that Pervis and Ferdi are likely to be preferable choices but having a competitive...

    [Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24

    I was shocked that we decided to spend £40m on a player but he is brilliant
