Looks like we're the last team standing. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the MOTD commentator said that Sheffield United's 1-0 win against Brentford was their first clean sheet this season, then Luton's 1-0 against the Saudis ended the conceding run of our final competitor. As far as I can...

Either the inbreeding around Croydon is getting worse or those image generators still really can't do hands.

I think the club should have done another three-match pack for the round of 16, quarter-final and semi-final home games, same price as the group stage pack. Then we'd have seen which of our supporters had the big balls to try to bank the discount on the semi-final ticket, at the risk of paying...

That's some chilling new nightmare fuel. I particularly liked the advice that "[if] it does happen, you should present to your doctor as an absolute emergency". Does any man need to be told that? I would be elbowing all the heart attacks, strokes and broken bones out of the way to get to the...

I'm trying to work out whether this might tend to produce a closed shop like tier 1 ticket allocations. Does having an extra team in Europe next season mean that those two associations will likely rake in more coefficient points and gain the extra places again the following season? Or actually...

Looking at it from another angle, I wonder if we're already safe from relegation this season. Historical precedent suggests that more points will be needed and I'd assume that the bottom three will improve their run rate a bit as the season wears on... but will they?

I just noticed this morning that the names of the ref and VAR are now the first things I look for in the opening stat fart. And that made me a little sad.

That will take the edge off my envy slightly while I'm sitting in chilly Sussex trying to follow the action from JC's commentary. At least I've got a nice bottle of Harvey's Tom Paine to drink. Would still rather be in Athens.

Come on Billy, give us a St Andrew's Day to remember. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Favourite moment on the commentary so far: "Can they get some quality into the box? Akpom is in there!" Asked and answered.

I could have thrown out guesses from now until Christmas and I would not once have suggested Little Shop Of Horrors as the theme for this year's ad. That's one way for the new agency to demonstrate a break with tradition. But haven't they learned from deerhoundgate in 2010 with the dog that was...

Aaaaaaaarse! Now I need a new excuse to get out of going to my Dad's over Christmas.

It has taken me a while to remember (thought it would have left more of an impression but I think I may have blocked it out) but as a total Amex-era JCL I think mine was the Liverpool 6-1 in the FA Cup, the one with the own goals. Kinda surprised that I ever wanted to go away again. I'm loving...

Avanti West Coast had a big message up at Euston advising customers not to travel & that today's tickets would be valid on Monday. Feel like I might miss kickoff if I take that advice. The 10:13 I was booked on didn't run (presumably cancelled yesterday, because it's not "cancelled" today) so...

This poll feels a bit pointless. It's a reasonable question to ask but it can't reach the right audience. People who want a football-only forum and who can't stand the other chatter have probably drifted off long ago or at least won't see the thread while it's still on the front page...

Now I'm getting paranoid that it might be bed bug bites as well as mozzies. If so, I hope I didn't bring any stowaways back with me because it sounds like they're horrendous to get rid of: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/oct/11/when-bedbugs-move-into-your-home-every-night-we-sleep-in-fear

Doesn't even need that. If Villa had only beaten us 5-1 rather than 6-1 we'd be above them in 5th (on goals scored). That final goal deep in added time cost us a place.

Joel Veltman was my Niggly Little F*cker of the Match by a distance. Don't always enjoy that stuff but it was a piece of performance art today. Unfortunately for him I don't think the match sponsors give a NLFOTM award.

Another victim here. I've been murdered by mozzies in Lille before but didn't think to pack insect repellent for Marseille. Although I think most of the damage was done down by the Rhône in Avignon. Little blighters.

This stat is giving me just a glimmer of hope. If we could score first for once I'll feel a bit better about our chances.
