My mind keeps flitting back to Euro 2000. Same stage, same scenario: we needed a draw to go through to the quarterfinals. Then it was Romania, now it's Croatia. Four years ago we led, only for Neville to give away an 89th minute penalty: 2-3, plane home. Please don't let history repeat itself...!

What's the latest headcount on the EDM? Anyone know?

Shipperley is starting to live up to his name. He now has the turning circle of a tanker, the agility of an ocean liner and the speed of a giant cargo ship. He's years beyond his prime and not the kind of signing we should be going for.

The remade Italian Job has a decent one. And the entire Master & Commander film is in effect a boat chase.

Good full page article in the new When Saturday Comes on Andrei Kanchelskis' season. It speculates on why he chose a Russian side over Brighton, and how it all went Pete Tong from there, with him being dismissed for dubious reasons without playing a game and rumours of mafia money chasers now...

Looking back on it now, there were some quality baps in hearSay. All three had fine pairs. Anyway... Back to work.

God I hope we get a result, the team need a boost. It's been a pretty poor season so far.

Pond. They were some kind of grunge dirge back in the days SubPop ruled the world. Inappropriately, they'd been booked as support to Throwing Muses on a UK tour. Being a keen TM fan, I bought tickets for four dates on the tour. Being a v.keen TM fan, I liked to get into the first couple of...

I remember a journalist once pointing out the irony of an entire Glastonbury crowd singing along in unison to The Levellers' "There's only one way of life and that's your own". Which is kind of the same thing. Well.... OK, not much. I'll get me coat.

I used it in 1997, duting all the Archer/Bellotti campaigning. I remember meeting Gary (Manx) at one of the matches that year, and a couple of times later. Haven't seen him for ages now though. Even in those early days the board had an effect, not least when a spurious "Let's get Archer over...

The trouble with the play-off games (Swindon & Bristol City) is that Sky owns the rights. I suspect they'd charge a fortune for any DVD, making it not economically-viable for the club to do one. Remember the season highlights video from 90-91 had no coverage of the Notts County Wembley game, for...

Did you have it tucked into your shorts, which were pulled up to near-nipple level?

I've heard Andrei Kanchelskis may be training with the team......:lolol:

Having watched this on TV since... – Butler's feet do tread on Leon's legs. Benefit of the doubt it's accidental, arguably there's a little bit of over-zealousness in there. Undoubtedly it hurt. Hence a physio. – According to The Guardian, we had 9 shots (3 on target), you had 3 (1 on target)...

I got shuffled around BT Customer Services the other day (ie Bangalore), including one bloke who spoke such heavily-accented Indian/English I really couldn't understand what he was saying. I wasn't being awkward or racist or anything, but in the end I had to ask him to put me through to someone...

Threw my paper (Guardian) away in disgust yesterday – moaning on about what a crap game it was, how defensive we were, how we wouldn't take 25,000 to Falmer every week so did we really need it. Utter crap from a normally good paper (and sadly possibly one that Prescott reads). How to put a total...

Carling Bassett!

Absolutely. The Gillingham exile and the fact Withdean deters the casual supporter (few tickets available, no pay on the day etc) has lost us so many fans, we should be thrilled to bits that some might be regained. Especially kids. Ten years between the Goldstone and Falmer will cost us a lot of...

We had the momentum. The stuffing was completely knocked out of Swindon by our goal, and you just knew we were going to win the shootout. Had it taken place after a 1-1 finish, I'm not so sure it would have gone the same way. I've never felt so confident in a shootout, even though my heart...

Exactly - frustrating and tense, you KNOW we can do better. So does that make Adam Virgo the new David Beckham?
