Well yes, but we have to admit that England was at the forefront of the cult of football related violence. As it has diminished in England it's been taken-up enthusiastically on the continent and sadly its innocent fans like Jack who are paying the price...

Most of the flight crew in Bomber Command were regular members of the public

Not confident with this one... Gary O'Neill doing a good job there and we aren't looking incisive enough without Jao Pedro (who I assume will still be out)

But you will need to come again as you didn't see the team or the atmosphere in the stadium at there best...

And we had a drum back then to bring a bit of coordination...

Oh cool, I used to love the synchronised foot stamping to make the scaffolding stand rumble...

Poor old Roy, he really doesn't look good for his age; fingers crossed that Parish makes another terrible appointment...

The pantomime of their "mob" (LOL) allowing themselves to be kettled every time they play in Brighton is getting boring, but I can't deny that I enjoy the extra tension attached to this fixture. So on balance I'll allow them to stay up...

Jeepers... what a selection of ugly b*stards!

It's about now that anyone you meet who knows you support Albion starts telling you: "well of course Brighton V Palace is not a proper derby; how can it be a derby when you're 50 miles apart?" To which I normally reply: "we don't claim it is a derby, it's an intense rivalry". Either that or...

1978 - away at Selhurst Park, about 45 minutes before KO. Big mob of Albion fans assembling on the higher level of terracing in the White Horse Road end when from one of the corners a gang of 20-25 skinheads come trooping across the lower terrace...bleached jeans, flight jackets and DMs, but...

No longer Dun Laoghaire, the ferry's now dock at Dublin Port which is a 3 Euro bus ride from Dublin central

Blimey how strange then that I caught a ship last week from Dublin Port to Holyhead?

Clubs get special deals with certain hotels and hotel chains and so probably Southampton is the closest location to Brighton where this applies for WWFC...

Blimey, that is even worse than the official merchandise; quite an achievement...

Oh OK, but for the avoidance of doubt "acoustic" is unamplified music; JD had amplified guitar, bass and keyboard.

Even before our goals started going-in the Spurs fans were very sullen. They seem like a strange moody bunch; it's almost like they hate supporting Spurs and come to the match in a bad mood in order to have their pessimism confirmed.

The Union Bears smuggle them in stuck up their 4rses; that's why they all have such squeaky voices...

Oh blimey not this again... the Albion one was a simple smoke bomb and not a flare, they are very different objects. Flares produce dangerous levels of heat whilst smoke bombs produce, well smoke...

Sitting near the Marseille fans I can assure you that they spent a great deal of their time shouting abuse and giving the nearest Albion fans the finger and various other unsavoury gesticulations. And I would never do that to my mother...
