    [Albion] Ground extensions - that old chestnut!

    I know this has been brought up in the past and has often been quietly dismissed by the club, BUT now that we're riding the crest of a wave both on the pitch and financially off it, is it worth seriously considering whether the North and South stands could have second tiers put on them...

    [Albion] Sneaky George 1995

    Just popped into Sainsbury's at Lyons Farm this morning but who should I bump into but the brilliant 'Sneaky George'. What a great guy, happy to chat, looked really fit and well, and apparently does some ambassadorial role for us as well as The Hammers. I reminded him of his infamous goal from...

    [Football] Worst Premiership players this season

    Having watched DR Sport's vote of the 11 worst Prem players this season, I was thinking which others would you have included in the worst 11 you've seen this season? Their 11 voted for was : Goal : Travers Defenders : Tierney, Holding, Godfrey, Fredericks Midfield : Downes, Davies...

    [Technology] Electric Car advice

    My daughter is interested in getting a new (ish) car and wants to consider an EV but has little knowledge of longevity, insurance costs, and mileage range. Has anyone had an EV for a number of years, and if so how does the battery life hold up on repeated charges. A former colleague of mine had...

    [Music] RSD 23 - Record Store Day

    I know RSD has become bit of a cliche over the years having lost some of the original intention of promoting independent record shops, to become a far more commercial exercise in over inflating prices of so called 'limited or rare' editions of certain records, but did anyone this year pick up...

    [Football] Fixture congestion

    Pleased that the season is going so well but was wondering about the pile up of fixtures we're going to have, especially in the likely event of us getting past Grimsby and to the Semi's of the FA Cup. Newcastle away is still to be arranged, our Man Utd home game (scheduled for the Quarter final...

    [Football] FFP - what's the point?

    Just reading the below article that relates to Uefa's likely sanctions to 8 clubs in European competition, but if the same is applied to the Premier League it's hardly surprising the richest clubs don't abide by the rules. Fines levied can also be paid by directors of the club rather than...

    [Albion] Sasa Kalajdzic - striker rumour

    Apologies if this has been mentioned before. I see the Southampton local paper has us as well as Saints 'reportedly' linked to this guy? Would he be worth a punt? - It does though appear that half the Prem have been looking at this guy according to links I've seen. "STRIKER giant Sasa...

    [Football] FA CUP - Prize Money - or lack of it

    We all know the FA Cup has lost much of it's mystique and excitement over the years, but I was astonished to see how much (or ultimately how little) the winning team in this year's competition will get : £1.8m ! Blimey I know it's not a huge draw today but you can see why many clubs take the...

    [Football] Bale - WTF?

    What an absolute waste of 60mins of his time tonight. Delighted from our point of view but he looked completely disintereted and spent most of the time he was on strolling around looking like he was counting up how much he was earning per minute. How much must Spurs be forking out for that...
