And it's NOT a pie if it's served in china dish with just a pastry crust on top. Anyway, as you say, that's another debate.

Don't forget football didn't start until 1992. I think we'd be higher if the 'non-league' era is discounted.

I agree 100%. And even if you were wrong .... so what? It meant our first-ever European games were against AEK Athens, Marseilles and Ajax Amsterdam. Even now I can hardly believe it. I'm SO pleased it's those three illustrious names in the record books and not a load of part-timers from Norway...

Even if he has, I really can't believe Trump is in the slightest bit worried. Off the top of my head he's a convicted felon, he's had two impeachment attempts, is a known sex pest and he incited an insurrection against the US government (which resulted in loss of life). That is an unbelievable...

Maybe he is fit but just can't get into our matchday squad? No I don't really think that's it, but given our current embarrassment of riches it IS a possibility - especially as, unlike Beleba, he is apparently fit for international duty. Just a thought

I also notice the spelling is different. I'd always spelt it as 'Banoffee', but in Snowflake's article it's 'Banoffi'. Maybe there's room for a compromise? If it's spelt 'Banoffi' it's with a pastry base, and if it's 'Banoffee' it's biscuit. There. Solved. I'm off to the Middle East to sort...

Well I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you. I too thought the biscuit base was the original and now I find out not only am I wrong, but the original creator looks on it the same way I would if the club replaced the brass band version of GOSBTS with a disco remix version. I don't think I've ever had...

Ditto Jahanbakhsh (for example). Proof I guess that firstly it doesn't always work and secondly it's always being refined. Last season of course there was also Dahoud and Fati, but then we're not 100% sure if they were Recruitment recommends or on the insistence of De Zerbi. Mind you signing...

Welbeck was in the new regime, so more 'proof' that it works better. And I bet (although I have obviously zero evidence for this) that O'Riley wouldn't have come back on schedule last season either. But yes, we still haven't lost the 'mystery injury' syndrome.

Well I too also read it that you were trying to deflect attention by saying that good people would now be 'demonised' and that most abuse happens in families. However I'll accept that you just chose your words badly.

We dropped four points against Wolves and Ipswich. We gained four points against Newcastle and Man U. So, yeah, we're about right. However even though I know that is logically and realistically true, and that over the course of a whole season these results even themselves out - I still look...

Barry from Eastenders.

I thought 'Kimono my house' and 'Indiscreet' were better. (Although Indiscreet didn't do nearly as well as Propaganda) But yes, as a teenager I loved them in that period, and although I haven't really followed them since every time I do hear a Sparks track it's good, whatever the style.

Can't recall any off-hand, it was always the opposite. How many times in the past did we hear that so-and-so has 'a slight knock', and then we didn't see them again for months?

Exactly. Yes other grounds have their issues, but at a lot of other grounds there are 'things to do' within a say twenty-minute walk: pubs, cafes shops etc. Plus you can often walk to other stations and/or bus stops, or walk to wherever you parked your car. Once outside the Amex environs...

But we're not going to get relegated, and we've FAR more chance of being in the Champions' League as opposed to going back to the Championship. #gettingabitcarriedaway

Indeed. Watching on the TV it was great to see that with five minutes to go it wasn't the usual half-empty ground. And not only was it full it appeared to be absolutely buzzing. As you say even after the final whistle (which was after nearly 10 MINUTES added time) it looked like the vast...

Three. The 'Gerry Ryan' game, the 'Keith Cuss' game and the 'Wheelchair on the pitch' game (aka the Cup game at Withdean). BTW for those that don't know after the Cup win at Withdean there was a pitch invasion, and one of the participants was in a wheelchair! It was before social media, so I'm...

Offers to resign .... or offers to be sacked?

Well it makes a change from our first few seasons. In those early days when we played a Big Six team we were happy to just park the bus and try and keep the score down. Even sending someone up to the halfway line to do the coin toss was seen as being a bit reckless. We never thought we'd be able...
