I wrote this poem at the beginning of the World Cup finals in Qatar. Seems fitting to share it again today as it comes to an end. If you have watched and enjoyed, no criticism from me. Your choice. We didn’t ask for this. It’s just how I feel. I’ve had a wonderful few weeks glorying in the...

RAIL STRIKES EXPLAINED A public information post: since you won’t see this in our wonderful ‘free press’, please share with anyone blaming the RMT. The Rail Delivery Group, representing the train franchising companies with whom the RMT are theoretically negotiating, have absolutely no material...

That is completely and utterly ridiculous and totally indefensible.

A lovely man who did so much for the club.

Strikes don't work if people are not affected. When they are, it's decision time. The Tories are banking on their press to tell only one side of the story. I think people have seen through that. 'Can't afford' to pay decent wages but can afford to give billions to bosses and shareholders. Time...

A life very well lived!

We need a General Strike AND a General Election to get this callous, thick, self-serving bunch of unelected (yes they are...) scumbags out of government. As for those on my side who go 'but....Starmer...' I was at Wapping in 1986 with thousands of others fighting for freedom of the press, he...

FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL! 'The Sussexes' are East and West Sussex. We start at Robertsbridge and end at South Harting. We are a county of good ale and beerily confrontational satirical poetry. We are not used to being in the news that much and are happy to remain that way. ESPECIALLY now that our...

Was at Hawks-Ramsgate on sat. Ultras were absolutely amazing. More noise than many lower league grounds. Worthing-Ebbsfleet yesterday (money talks) going to Sevenoaks-Hawks tonight. Friday a festive meet up with Sammy Donnelly, Tony Gratwicke, Tony Dineen and some of the others who did our best...

I have heard Jan/Feb now.

Modern football bollocks, as I told Mr. Barber a few weeks ago. As far as I am concerned: you buy a season ticket, you give it to whomever you choose if you can't use it, and the only time there should be any kind of sanction is if the person concerned behaves like an idiot, which is most...

It is obviously a personal choice, so I would never say ban gambling completely, but IMO there is no way it should be allowed to sponsor football or any other high profile sport or entertainment.

Slippers and a pipe bollocks - over 100 gigs in 8 countries this year 65 last month :)

lower case you don’t have to not watch i keep saying to myself it’s not your fault not our fault not the players’ fault not the game’s fault modern football did it we didn’t you’re not letting anyone down if you watch it and the World Cup has been a big thing for you ever since it had a...

Yes, this. If I was a big cricket fan (rather than just having a life member stepfather whose ashes are buried in the outfield) I'd have been calling for supporter action years ago. But cricket's different, and I'd probably have been arrested :)

I totally get this argument. I am not criticising anybody who watches it, I just feel totally alienated, an amplified version of how I feel about the PL apart from the Albion..

One final point from our meeting. The lines of communication are as good as we, the fans, want them to be: we would be pushing at an open door if we were pushing at all, but nobody seems to be. I was always going to 'retire' from Albion activism once we got Falmer and really hoped that the...

I'm not, and I'm absolutely gutted not to be. Of all the nonsense which modern football has foisted on us, this is the worst. Really looking forward to Worthing v Chelmsford on Saturday and to joining the Whitehawk Ultras (a bit of St Pauli in East Brighton) for their next few home games...

This indicates exactly why Potter's move to Chelsea was such a ridiculous error in football terms. Boehly wants 'celebrity' - Potter's whole modus operandi is egalitarianism and mutual respect in his line-ups. I am astonished he didn't see this coming. Or maybe he did and just thought of the...

His recovery some years ago was just astonishing. I supported the Blockheads in Guernsey and had a long chat with him not long after he had returned to the band having had an operation to remove a huge tumour from his abdomen which everyone - including he himself, since he did a farewell tour -...
