    [Misc] Worst holiday you’ve ever been on

    To each their own. I think it’s a dump, full of some of the most pompous idiots in the world. Which is unlike much of the rest of France where the people are usually lovely. Different experiences I guess.

    [Misc] Worst holiday you’ve ever been on

    Paris is awful, to be fair. Unlike large parts of France which are lovely. Having been there a few times, I never get how it holds any romantic appeal.

    [Misc] Worst holiday you’ve ever been on

    Benidorm. Because it had all of these things, amongst other things. And a ton of racist, boomer Brits.

    [Albion] Igor , Dahoud and Fati. What an absolute waste of money.

    With all due respect, there’s no way we signed these guys without Bloom’s approval. It just isn’t how we operate. This all feels a bit like Naylor and the club doing some good PR to apportion blame elsewhere, when the failings for the season really are theirs.

    [Football] Is Bloom becoming untrustworthy?

    I never said he’d become incapable, simply that multi billionaires rarely like being questioned. We made a lot of mistakes last summer. Those mistakes will have been his, whether he likes it or not. And they’ve impacted our season. That doesn’t mean we don’t owe him a ton as a club, or that he...

    [Albion] Line up to start 24/25

    I think he’s shown himself to be what he is - a talented young guy who should’ve been eased into the side who’s been overplayed because of injuries. He’s certainly not the issue.

    [Football] Is Bloom becoming untrustworthy?

    People as rich as Tony Bloom don’t want to be questioned, it’s that simple. We had an exceptional manager in RDZ, albeit one with flaws who I think needed more time with us, and he was left with a poor squad this season that then became even weaker once injuries took their toll. If I was him...

    [Albion] Roberto De Zerbi To Leave Albion After Tomorrow's Game

    Won’t he be on gardening leave?

    [Football] chelsea starting early this summer…

    Similarly Mbappe was a wonder kid at that age and is now one of the best players in the world. They can afford to gamble, so they do.

    [Albion] Deniz Undav - season long loan to Stuttgart confirmed

    Yeh, absolutely. But either way they often aren’t paid up front. And from an accounting perspective they’re amortized across the contract anyway. Basically, it’s highly unlikely a CL club can’t afford that fee.

    [Football] Clubs to Vote on VAR removal

    I’ve always been in favour of the tech being used. What I’m not in favour of is its current implementation or the people running it. If we can automate it more, and take away the idiots drawing the lines who have no idea what they’re doing, then I’m game. Saying that, stopping VAR gives the...

    [Albion] Deniz Undav - season long loan to Stuttgart confirmed

    Sure, but fees aren’t paid up front. The likelihood is it would be, say £5m up front. And that’s much more affordable.

    [Drinking] Tip your barstaff!

    I’m with you on this. I thoroughly dislike tipping culture. If companies can’t pay their workers properly and can’t price their services at the correct levels to pay employees, then that’s on them, not on me.

    [Albion] If RDZ plays Steele tomorrow...

    As he’s the best goalkeeper with his feet in the world, can we get upwards of £50m for him?

    [News] Pedestrian jailed for manslaughter

    It’s an interesting one this. I didn’t realise the highway code had been changed last year so that a car entering a junction had to stop for any pedestrians moving into the road. So if you come off a roundabout, for example, doing 30 and someone decides to step out just as you’re coming off...

    [Albion] Mason Greenwood, would you want him at the Albion?

    This isn’t what happened. She backed out, meaning their key witness couldn’t have the case built around them. This has nothing to do with due process and it’s a total misdirection to suggest otherwise. Also, the media didn’t ruin his life. He’s still playing professional football on obscene...

    [Albion] Mason Greenwood, would you want him at the Albion?

    No, and I’d be calling the club up to get a refund on my newly reacquired season ticket if it happens. Clearly a potentially excellent player, but an absolute scumbag and I couldn’t support a club that supports him.

    [Albion] Gross goal offside?

    The biggest issue with this is the rule and where the lines are being drawn. They shouldn’t be trying to put imaginary lines for slightly sticking out body parts. It leaves far too much room for interpretation, as they have here. They’re essentially creating a situation where a bent knee is...

    [Albion] Gross goal offside?

    Wtf is this? They change the lines to make him offside. Honestly, the level of incompetence is heart breaking.
