My assessment of Williams last night also contained the words "massive hole" but not in the same way that the Sussex Express used them.

A midweek league cup game? I don't think we're going to be much troubled by noise from the home fans.

Stayed at my seat to clap the team off (obviously a mistake) then as the south-end kiosk in WSU was closed joined one of the mahoosive queues at the central kiosk to get a celebratory pint while chatting with my seat-neighbour whom I hadn't seen since last season. Queued. Watched the...

I do think they've made it a little confusing by having the entrance labelled West 1 lead to stand W3 and the West 3 entrance lead to stand W1. I wonder if that was the reason for the number of people who seemed to be trying to get into the West Upper with West Lower tickets.

And the BAFTA for "Most uses of the word "offside" in a nineteen-minute video" goes to...

If we are you'll be wanting to break out that chart with the wibbly lines that show how far over or under the tracker we were after each game in all our Premier League seasons.

Good to establish that we can beat them without Groß. Although I feel like he could have made the win a bit more comfortable for us. With that front line he'd have had three or four assists already this season.

That is figuratively one of the ways that languages evolve. (I'm starting a Ukraine-style counterattack for "figuratively" to retake some of the linguistic territory that "literally" has vacated. I don't have high hopes.) It's just a bit unfortunate when a word comes to mean both its original...

It would be enough to keep us top of the league for just a little longer, until Man City score.

Anyone further west getting the downpours yet? Here in Hove it's just been a light drizzle so far. I'd like to believe that it's not going to be as bad as predicted but it may just mean that the heavy stuff will come through late morning when we're on our way to the stadium.

I noticed that the somewhat half-hearted booing by German fans didn't put him off his game at all whereas we all remember how he fell apart under the torrent of abuse he received in that first game back at the Amex. He seems to have toughened up since then. "You think this is going to upset me...

I'm so relieved that we're not out already. It's important for it to still be Mathematically Possible to get to the knockout stage going into the third group game. That's what gives me a warm nostalgic connection to the international tournaments of my now-distant youth. Now all we need to do is...

It's an interesting difference, in that I think most Scotland fans are desperately hoping that Ralston manages to raise his game or, failing that, that the ball comes nowhere near him, whereas I think that a fair number of England fans would also enjoy their own weaker players like, say, Harry...

I don't think doing cranachan in a chip pan makes it any easier. More difficult, if anything.

I recently re-read the original Foundation novel (well, collected short stories) to check whether some of the interesting ideas in the Foundation TV series had been invented for the show or were just things I'd forgotten from the books. I was expecting to find it to be badly written, my...

I'm not sure that's true. In last season's home match I distinctly remember him timewasting when they were a goal down early on. I couldn't work out whether it was because Villa were so confident that they were going to equalize that they were getting their timewasting in early or if it was such...

I half-listened to the Netherlands-Scotland match on the radio. I haven't even seen highlights so take what follows with an appropriate measure of salt. It sounded like WeeBG was involved in a lot of what was good about Scotland's play in the first half, when they had most of the possession and...

I can't believe this thread got to five pages without anyone posting this timeless classic: Although apologies for posting a seven-minute video when you folks have been pretty good at keeping things to a bite-size three minutes (or less!)

Urgh, yes. I tried to get on the 14:20 high-speed train from Milano Centrale to Roma Termini with a ticket for the 14:30 high-speed train from Milano Centrale to Roma Termini. I mean, I partly blame the Italian rail network for having too many fast and convenient services but that's not the sort...

I've never seen the point of Mini Eggs, except perhaps as some sort of chocolate substitute to ease your post-Easter transition back into normal eating habits, the Easter egg equivalent of a nicotine patch. They don't taste of chocolate and that measly coating doesn't even taste of sugar. I eat...
