Thanks for that AZ. I note that the Celtic game due on 24th November doesn't appear on our fixture list either, although the remaining games v Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb do. What is going on?
According to PL2 Int cup website we should be playing Valencia next Wednesday (4th October) with a 7.30 k.o. There is no mention of this on clubs fixture list, and neither are any tickets on sale. Does anyone know if the match is taking place, and if so, is it behind closed doors? The lack of...
After all the foregoing doom and gloom, how about a nice positive transport story. I left my seat in WSL on the final whistle (I am right by a vomitory) and quickly left the stadium. Got straight on to an EDF bus (no queue) which quickly filled and left car park at 4.05. No traffic to contend...
We were much more progressive in second half although couldn't score until the very end. B-B did hit the post though. Final ball in often wayward. A lot more composure required.
In the absence of a thread I am reporting that we are losing 1-0 at HT. Geordies seem more up for it than us. Our passing not up to usual standard and we are being pressed at pace. Cahill has made several good saves to keep score down. We have only had a few breakaway attempts which have so far...
Reading through this thread it seems as if half of NSC has suffered at one time or another. As have I. Have been on Alopurinol for a number of years now, which has kept it at bay, after initially taking Colchicine. When I had my first major attack, it felt as if I had a broken ankle and had to...
I always try and wear something blue/ blue & white - trousers, shirt socks, cap, but I have never worn a club shirt (apart from the one in my avatar when I was 9. Ordinary white shirt with blue stripes printed on from Wisden's in Duke Street THE Brighton sports emporium of the day).
Nobody seems to have asked Ferguson himself what he thinks. He opted for us rather than Liverpool when he first signed as he could see better development opportunities. I can't see him changing that philosophy just yet while he is still learning, so I expect him to be with us for 2 or 3 more...
6 caps for England U17's and in U19 squad in 2019. Although born in Canada, came to England when he was 4. Has Canadian and English parents. Didn't opt to play for Canada until this year.
Where will MK fit in? If RW, where does this leave Solly? Is he now the RW backup? Can see lots of squad rotation coming this season with players coming in and out, and with there being no set 'first eleven'. Exciting times, and lots of selection headaches.
There's been a lot of pulling out of hair on this thread implying that our season would have imploded if McGill had had to replace Steele, with Sanchez taking the blame. This is doing McGill a disservice as he is a perfectly competent keeper, and no doubt would have acquitted himself well if...
No. 10 probably being reserved for when we sign Messi.
No.16 seems to be little used as well. Going back through my records I can only find Jahanbakhsh in recent times. Before that it was Ankergren, Hawkins and Kuipers. (no doubt some stato will correct me on this!)
I think a lot of players...
I haven't set foot on the site since we left, and have no intention of doing so in the future. Do drive past the site every time I go to the Amex though.
Peter Ward accidentally (I hope) trod on my toe as I edged past him in a crowded Amsterdam pub bar in Shoreham (I believe it was his local).
Tony Nicholas used to live at the end of my road, and when I saw him setting off in his white Ford Anglia (sloping rear window model) with a blue...
I thought he looked pretty useful still when he came on for Saints in their last game at the Amex. I know he only played for about 15 mins, but his skill was there for all to see. I was unhappy when he didn't choose us originally, but hope he can be persuaded to sign for us now.
So do I. Was looking forward to seeing him develop. At the time he was probably the best Albion player I had ever seen. I always thought that his death made us more determined to win the title as a tribute to him. In his 12 appearances we only lost twice.
As an aside in those heady days six of...
