Despite live Tv, spent a chunk of my student grant to come down from the Midlands for that cracking game. Was stood behind the north goal when TC popped in the 2nd; possibly the best limbs ever at the Goldstone. A feeling only matched by spotting the Warwick Uni scally gobshite trudging out of...
The peerless Swiss Ramble has done a deep dive on this. The short answer is that they must qualify for CL next season or they are in grave danger of being financially f***ed!

Think that Palace game helped swing him to Brighton. Chatted to him at the Arsenal game last season and everyone around us made sure he was very welcome.
Far from it for me to suggest how you live your life (honest!) but I would be tempted to ask the lad if he'd like to go even if it meant going on the train and forgoing the pie and coke. Having dragged 3 lads up to be solid Albion fans, it never did any harm to get them to think about the...
Taking the chance of the mid-season break to spend 2 weeks cycling around Kerala in India. If there's a game on when I'm sat in a bar then I'll watch but I'm not going to miss anything in India to watch TV footie.
This may well be linked to Huw Merriman (former chair of Transport Select Committee and someone who actually has some understanding of transport) being appointed Rail Minister. He's also a Sussex MP (Bexhill and Battle).

Yes, didn't he suffer a horror career-ending injury? He was a Peter Taylor 'find' and was made skipper after just 10 games according to Tim Carder's Albion A-Z.
I've just caught up with the Leicester highlights and he is in a different League to the others at U21 level. He is big and powerful but seems to have a hunger and ability to score which , without wanting to talk him up too much, puts me in mind of Harry Kane.
He might just be the exception...
Not sure that's the reality. There is Official Mourning Guidance and pressure from the Government (DCMS). I will be amazed if anything happens this weekend.
I should preface this by saying that despite being a republican, I have the utmost respect for the Queen as a person and the remarkably steadfast job she has done in difficult times. It is completely right that those who wish to mourn and pay their respects will have full opportunity to do so...
Anyone else not sure about getting a City ticket in case there is a train strike? Trains back from Manchester are terrible at the moment at present even on non-strike days as they've cut the service.
If anyone has a space in their car for the return trip only (is com'licated...) then I'd...
