RIP.
By all accounts a decent chap, according to a friend (and BHA fan) who knew Herbie quite well. Credited with the fabulous bass line on 'Jump into the Fire' for Harry Nilsson. Features on the soundtrack for Martin Scorsese's 'Goodfellas'.
Hmm. After a bit of thought and prompts from other responses I surprised myself at just how many competitive sports Brighton & Hove have hosted & I managed to watch, over the years:
Football
Rugby
Cricket
Greyhound racing
Athletics (Withdean)
Cross-country running
Cycling - road (TdF) and track...
Was also at the Stadium of Light last night - it was tad damp.... Bruce opened with 'Waiting on a Sunny Day'...
So many to choose from - but these aren't too shabby:
Promised Land
Racing in the Street
The River
I'd prefer to see McKenna stay at Ipswich and enjoy at least one season with them in the PL.
Mind you, if he did leave them it would say something about his ambitions, motivations - and loyalty.
I suspect this is a BHA smoke screen and maybe we have someone a little more left field in mind...
After the calm of Hughton and the emotional intelligence of Potter I do wonder if TB thought 'f**k it', lets do something different: the flair, passion and more radical football style of RDZ. Knowing that it could be huge fun but also likely to be a roller coaster and probably end in a car crash...
Arrived in the car park at Ewood for a Championship game at Blackburn to discover the game had just been called off, a very local cloudburst had flooded the pitch. Rather than turn around and head straight home we popped up the road to Accrington Stanley for their game against Plymouth. A few...
Another thanks for the heads up. Two of us booked on KLM out of Norwich Weds PM. I note their flight tracker shows some cancellations each day this week but also some flights reinstated. Curious, as generally this is a reliable route.
RIP Gerry.
I recall his debut at The Goldstone. That mane of hair. Didn't know a lot about him but hoping he'd fit into the team. More of a wide player back then and he duly gave his marker a torrid time. Hmm, this guy's going to be OK...
Those goals against Liverpool will always stand out in...
Rather than targeting more taxes - why not hold the Govt to account and focus on the existing tax revenue already wasted / lost within its departments?
The National Audit Office has already identified £60 billion of 'our' money is 'lost' per annum! Comprised of £26bn 'fraud & error' in the tax...
Saw Bruce in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago. Thought the venue and organisation was good. Was unseasonably hot at Murrayfield- but the stewards seemed switched on, allowing early access into the shaded parts of the stadium and handing out drinking water to whoever needed it.
Having seen him a...
This timescale was suggested in a discussion between political commentators last week and whether any preliminary findings might be allowed. I do agree that it seems rather optimistic for a forensic and fully objective report to be completed... I'd prefer the latter but also understand that...
With commentators suggesting the Covid Inquiry will take 2 years to report back and questionable what, if any, sanctions may arise, let alone register on Johnson's 'give a shit' o-meter, He's survived a lifetime of lies.
Inquiries into his liaisons with Jennifer Acuri, playing tennis with...
Tend to agree and also suggest what currently places Mitoma apart from any Albion wide player I've see over the years is that he's consistently delivering at a very high level in the Premier League (and internationally for Japan). :mitoma:
Albion v Charlton in the Championship: December 2015.
A barnstorming late Albion win, coming back from being 0-2 down after 5 mins.
A goal back by James Wilson after 50 mins but still trailing 1-2 with 10 mins to go, then late goals in the last 5 mins from Zamora & Hemed. Great Amex...
My elderly Mum recently fractured her pelvis and was in considerable pain, while on an ambulance waiting outside A&E.. Fortunately, she was in the care of an advanced paramedic who was brilliant with her, except on this occasion he struggled to get a needle into either arm. To be fair, she had...
Yep. On balance the best league game I'v seen, given the quality of opponent. I kept waiting for Liverpool to go up a gear or two but it never happened - and mostly because we dominated them, with fluid, incisive football, at pace and with clinical finishing. Heady days.
We no longer fear any...
We badly missed Mitoma. His pace and direct running would have shredded the Forest defence.
So, I agree - an opportunity to give Sarmiento or Encisco 30 mins.
A local churchyard here at Bircham and near the former RAF Bircham Newton airbase, features a fine Commonwealth War Grave memorial garden, containing several rows of neatly tended WW2 RAF graves. Several from 1940. Many from New Zealand.
Rather poignantly, off to one side, but sharing the same...
