Always feel for the losing Wild Card team - to win 80+ games over the season and then go out one a one-off is sickening, worse when it's your own team. Think the Mets can be pretty pleased with their season, given the injuries they've suffered yet again. Any pitching staff would miss men of the...

Won't make Leeds now, and will now have to spend a considerable extra amount on rail tickets making additional journeys between London and Brighton because of the Boxing Day move. Ditch Sky. Don't pay them to be part of the problem.

On the bucket list, to get out there to see them on their own turf. Paid a very silly amount of money for tickets for Wembley last season, buying them on the day they went on sale to make sure I didn't miss out, only for them to lose the game in a way that only Buffalo seem capable of. It was...

Ditto. Was getting sick of constant defeats to the bloody Pats, already my least favourite team anyway, so to finally beat them and shut them out at home, was sweet indeed. What a weekend, one way or the other.

Typical to lose Bong just after his best game for ages. Assuming he did it deliberately - and it looked like he looked up before he played it so I think he did - the ball out of defence, from almost on the byeline, to get Knocky away on the break to build up to the first goal, was absolutely...

Did I imagine it or was the result announced as 'Brighton 2 Barnet 0' at the end of the game yesterday?

Two people said that to me at the game yesterday. Why not? If somebody's the best player every week, why shouldn't they get the award every week? Pour encourager les autres, and all that.

It's just part of the 'singing' ceremony - no player can reasonably expect to go on and do good things for the Albion if he hasn't been lambasted in some quarters on here before having kicked a ball for us. It's just the observance of form.

We did indeed beat Carlisle 4-1 at home that season, Cowfold, but your memory deceives you - it was fully three months before the Wolves game, on February 5th! The passing of time plays tricks on all of us, damn it...

We have a winner. That's where I was going as well. The man could barely move when he played for us, but what a passer he still was, and he could hit a ball so sweetly. Remember him breaking the Wolves keeper's wrist in having a penalty saved in a 5-1 victory at the Goldstone the day we...

Going to have a go from Blackfriars, assuming I can get out of work on time, which is in itself always an issue. Getting to the ground from the station will then be a challenge in itself. Lack of trains after the game doesn't matter too much on a Friday but now they're saying there aren't going...

It would appear that the answer to your interrogative thread title is yes. Yes, it could get worse.

24 for me as well. A common score - wonder if we're all getting the same 24 right?

Absolutely no chance I'll make Forest now. Midweek games are touch and go as it is from work in London, that's just ended it. Now going to miss Colchester, Forest and Rotherham, all right at the start of the season, as well as not being able to get to Newcastle because the kick off's too late to...

If it had been a mistake, Gwylan, if he'd thought the ref misheard him for example, he'd have reluctantly coughed up. But when the ref lies in his report, it calls your own honour into question as well as the integrity of the ref. You're right, the league is going to side with the ref to stop...

Mate of mine gave up playing Saturday League footy when a ref lied about what he'd said to him, plain and simple. Ref said he called him a b*****d in a one-to-one conversation, so there was no doubt what had been said and who'd said it. He'd done no such thing and refused to pay the fine -...

I already knew I was lucky with my missus, but some of these tales are appalling. What Mrs HH and I both enjoy we do together, what we're not both into we do separately. Only very rarely have I had to sit though something I wasn't into for her sake, and on those occasions it was me who bought...

Players have been physically manhandling refs for some time now without any comeback on it. I remember Paul Durkin showing Petit an instant red card for putting his hands on his chest back in the 90s, but lately they've been behaving with near impunity. So I'd happily see an end to that. I'd...

That'd be Beram Kayal, I reckon.

As has already been noted here, France did what any genuinely good attacking side was going to do, and demonstrated their superior quality. Iceland can be well pleased with their tournament, but if our players were anywhere near as good as they think they are, and we're repeatedly told they are...
