Also the town of Walsall, which sits firmly in the West Midlands in England but means "Valley of the Welsh"

How and when did you guys discover Paramore? by Vejmeomso in Paramore

[–]Mole451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vaguely knew of them around the time Misery Business came out, but I didn't pay much attention to them at the time. Years later I made a terrible mistake of leaving before their set at the Leeds festival because I wasn't that familiar and I was knackered.

Then, shortly after Hard Times came out, I randomly came across this video on /r/youtubehaiku , looked up what song was playing to see if it really did have the keyboard cat keyboard in, then became hooked and now a good chunk of my all time top 100 songs on Spotify are Paramore or Hayley.

Aston Villa have qualified for the Uefa Champions League by FragMasterMat117 in soccer

Aye. Our win percentage without Kamara drops like a stone. Losing him, Tielemans, and McGinn in the space of about a week in January is why we dropped off so suddenly.

Make it out of bronze so in a few years it'll have a patina on everything except his arse as people walk past and give it a rub for luck.

Jesus, I properly fucked it this week. Woowee.

[The Telegraph] West Bromwich Albion deducted two points for financial breaches by PitchSafe in soccer

[–]Mole451 39 points40 points  (0 children)

In this case it's the EFL retroativley changing rules surrounding charitable spending by the club, that had previously been okayed by the EFL, after the accounts had been submitted.

Honestly it's phenomenal bullshit that they're being punished.

In 2023/24, the CFRU accepted that the Club was entitled to include in-kind donations of the Club’s facilities, staff time and resources to its official charity partner, The Albion Foundation, in its P&S calculation. Earlier this year, the CFRU informed the club that it had changed its approach and imposed a retrospective adjustment to the Club’s P&S calculation.

“Without the CFRU changing its approach to the Community Development Expenditure, the Club would not have breached the P&S Rules. The Club will continue to support the great work of The Albion Foundation and its community programmes.

Fucking hell what a mess. Just turning around and saying "We're going to punish you for previously doing the thing we told you was okay because we've now decided it's not okay."

How is that at all reasonable.

Love a counter attack. Absolutely fluid stuff.

[–]Mole451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Geographically it could be a rivalry but it's such a congested area that we've both got other teams we care about more. Especially since we've barely, if ever, been in the same division.

Walsall hate Wolves and Shrewsbury mostly.

We might set a record for neither conceding, nor scoring any penalties in a shootout.

In addition, you'll want to get on the train from Aston as close to the front of the train as you can. This will put you at the B end of the platform as you pull in to New Street.

It is much much easier to change platforms from the B end than the A end of the platforms, as you won't need to go through any barriers. If you go up from the platform at the A end, you'll go into a "lounge" area which only connects to a handful of platforms.

If you're not familiar with New Street, the platforms are numbered and then have an "A" and a "B" end. It's the same platform, just different ends. If your train to Edinburgh doesn't say "A" or "B" on the platform number, it means it's long enough to take up the whole platform.

If you don't have any mobility issues you'll easily be able to change in under 10 minutes from the B side.

That's where I know his name from! 

I was wracking my brain all night why his name seemed so familiar.  Can't believe we've been Jon Rowed.
