I've made similar comments watching him for U21s. Always seems to kick long to no one in particular. His attempts at shorter passes out seem to go astray as well.
Driving down the A24 today near Dial Post a skein of geese in a lovely V formation flew over. Never seen this in Sussex before. (Probably always in the wrong place). I assume they were heading for one of the lakes at Knepp.
That brings back memories. First cinema I took my girlfriend to (long since my wife) back in 1962. The film on was 'The Young Ones' with Cliff Richard (although I don't remember how much we saw in the back row!
On a smaller scale, some long tailed tits have moved into my area (Southwick) and have seen them in my garden for the first time after over 40 years in residence. Had seen them in the past at my daughter's house in Shoreham though.
Received a call yesterday purporting to be from Virgin to tell me my broadband had a fault. (A fairly common scam). Played along for a while as I had time on my hands, but when phone went dead briefly, I hung up. They quickly rang back to find out why I had terminated the call. Thing was the...

I don’t know what to make of this one. We could stuff them, a la SheffU, say 4-1, or carry on as against Luton and lose 0-3, or do our usual and draw 0-0 or 1-1. Who knows? We are as unpredictable as ever. (Could say I’m hedging my bets!)
Unfortunately was at the Walton & Horsham debacle in 1973. 0-4. Was doing a special task at work in a upstairs room, so sneaked out back door to go and watch the midweek afternoon match. As an aside the following Saturday I was there to see the 8-2 reverse v Bristol Rovers to complete a...
I think all these images are before my time as when I was a lad the terminus was on the other side of the road with the buses going clockwise round the Green. My cousin lived around the corner from here and we often emptied the used ticket box to to give us tickets to play with.
