Sorry, didn't mean to come across like a d1ck. The reason I said it is that, from experience of years living in another country and learning two foreign languages, I would say progress in your language ability is much more noticeable early on in the learning curve. After that, the more you...

Do you know a lot about reaching proficiency in a foreign language?

Welcome! equipo -> team (not 'equipment', at least not in this context). No sé fíe del traductor automático 😉

There's not really much need for more evidence of the incompetence of the party in charge, but anyway, here it is: https://bylinetimes.com/2022/10/21/how-will-we-know-putin-hasnt-picked-the-most-disruptive-candidate/ No guarantees whatsoever in their members only online voting system. May as...

March used to score quite regularly for the youth and development teams, when he was on them, so he must have it in him somewhere. He's kept on improving slowly but surely, for quite some time, so fingers crossed Prem goals will become part of that improvement soon...

As well as focusing on the MPs, this article starts naming and shaming the water company CEOs making big money for giving us sh¡t all. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/aug/23/water-sewage-britain-shores-politicians-ceos?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other "A sarcastically warm welcome to...

I assume a transfer request can't specify that the player wants to transfer to a specific club, right? Once he puts in the request, I guess he can't say "Actually I don't want to go to Chelsea, I wanted to go to City." Hope he's happy with the move, anyway, despite Chelsea seemingly being a bit...

Maupay – stating the obvious, given his involvement in the late goals this season, but – is possibly the best personification of this, with his never say die fighter attitude, sharp and hungry to the death. Love him.

I think maybe his line of sight was blocked, meaning he saw it late.

ditto

The penalty decision could have gone either way – Maupay was doing standard penalty area pulling type things that sometimes do and sometimes don't get punished, and that's why Vestergard's arm was where it was. But that type of holding goes unpunished all the time. The two offside decisions...

The obvious question (someone's probably already said it on another thread) is what do we do about their pacy attacks? I think one of the only times we got a point off them was when Lamptey made his debut and helped stopped Vardy. Pity not to have him or Webster.

As you say, you don't know the full story (far from it), but you seem to think you should judge the man's actions anyway. I don't know your full story, so I won't judge you on it, but it was an odd thing to post!

Happening "within hours", according to Spanish paper Sport.

They want to offload Martin Braithwaite, who'll be a bit more expensive after recent performances. Is he what we need up front? Nothing to do with answering that question, but he's just entered The Forbes rich people list. Apparently he invested in the US property market with a relative.

I vote the Cheaterfield game for non-objective reasons such as it being one of the seasons in which I watched most Albion games, most of them away, but came home for this one. But also, more objectively, it was a fantastic culmination of the first successful season after so many dreadful ones...

I think I'll predict 0-0 for the rest of our games this season

I'm (very optimisticly, I know) hoping Izquierdo can start doing Solly's job. As well as his attacking ability, he also showed some defensive tenacity, getting stuck with some tackles, all those years ago when he last played. I guess he'd be bound to get injured again before Solly is back...

Yale professor Timothy Snyder talks to Krishnan Guru-Murthy about Trump, about Russian influence there and on Brexit, about Britain's downscaling from empire to European influence and now to nation state, and about how we should try to get away from us vs them ways of thinking. I recommend it...
