    [TV] Love Island 2019 - official NSC thread

    The show has been a right roller coaster for Amy. She shown the watching public her pros and cons and in the end left with dignity and class. My daughter and I were blubbering like babies tonight, glued to the screen. Great TV. Hope she finds what she's looking for.

    [Albion] Matt Clarke- Portsmouth defender **SIGNED and LOANED to DERBY**

    Exactly. He leaned towards 5-3-2 (or 3-5-2 whichever you want to call it) at Osterunds. It is a very flexible formation. At Swansea he played 4 at the back but that was primarily due to lack of personnel. Could be that signing Matt Clarke indicates one formation that Graham Potter will be...

    [TV] Love Island 2019 - official NSC thread

    Don't know what all the negativity is about tbh. Started watching the show last week. Pleasantly entertained. My brother knows Ian Hart and bought me up to date with affairs regarding Amy, Love Island etc. My daughter loves the show, which until recently I disapproved of but didn't feel it...

    [Albion] A difficult season ahead

    There's been quite a bit written about how our chances next season are looking rather dubious, for mainly the following reasons. A new manager who doesn't have PL experience. A squad that is lacking in quality in certain areas, namely central midfield and up front. A style of football that...

    [Albion] Potter move signals Brighton's exciting change of direction

    I agree under Hughton our football was far too pedestrian. We lacked movement, energy and attacking endeavour. All too often our possession collapsed or ended up going backwards. The players can only do as instructed. We now have a manager who gears his teams towards having possession and...

    [Misc] Goodbye Old Friend

    It's never nice saying goodbye. In time you'll remember the life you gave him/her and the great memories you had together. It's only positive. Feel for ya. Chin up.

    [Albion] Fallout from Hughton sacking: notice we've suddenly become hated and ridiculed by neutrals

    A lot of people believe we'll drop like a lead balloon (as do a notable few on these boards). That CH was almost too good for the club and 'how dare we sack him'. We may struggle and we may get relegated, I don't believe we will but there is that chance. However to the well informed it was...

    [Football] Assuming we appoint Graham Potter, your gut feeling on next season

    I don't think the board sacked Hughton to appease the fans. Results, performances and the general air of negativity were the contributing factors. Nor do I believe wholesale changes are needed to the squad and here's the rub, was Hughton the reason our new signings and the squad in general under...

    [Football] Assuming we appoint Graham Potter, your gut feeling on next season

    For me a positive move (all being well). Potter has so far excelled in management. He'll hopefully continue that trend. He'll have to overcome some distinct obstacles. The biggest being changing the style of play. Do we have the players for how he sets his teams up? Can we gain sufficient points...

    If the Germans had invaded Britain during WW2 what would the result have been.

    In the 1970's german and british generals engaged in a war game to determine the likely outcome. It was deemed foolhardy and bound to failure to attempt an invasion of these shores without air supremacy, which is where of course the battle of britain's importance is highlighted. Another factor...

    Which alcohol was responsible for your first horrific hangover and how old were you?

    Port, aged 2. Needed my stomach pumped as I drank 3/4 of a bottle. My first living memory is of sitting on the middle back seat of my dads car and being slapped across the face, repeatedly and not understanding why. Not that I remember but I'm sure I had a hangover.

    Quitting Smoking Thread

    I gave up for over 2 yrs by will power and allen carr . First 3 days were a nightmare. After that it got easier. Every time I felt weak I picked up the book. Knowledge is power and all that. Anyway I got cocky and whilst enjoying my 3rd Xmas as a non smoker I believed I could light up without...

    Ward signs for Burnley

    Good luck to the guy. Any player would jump at the chance of a shot in the Premier League. Especially at 28 yrs of age. Back to the drawing board :)

    Are we fed up of the Scotland "it's all about me" in / out referendum.

    A currency union will only benefit Scotland. It would essentially mean the UK underwriting the Scottish economy. For this reason alone it won't happen. The tories wouldn't be able to push it through parliament nor would they or the general public have any desire to do so. However that does not...

    World Cup. England 23 announced

    Welbeck is often utilised on the left for England. He has played centrally but only barring injuries. For England, Welbeck has a decent goal scoring record. He also has good technique, can pass and beat a player.
