For me, there’s nothing wrong with discussing it in a sensible and sensitive way, though I get where you’re coming from. When a prominent politician dies you always get heartless idiots saying 'good riddance" which I find truly horrible. But when a player collapses I think it’s fine to...
They’ve all been amazing, even the one we lost, given that it was the first. I’ve been to 4. The one away was Athens which was a great experience all round, from being tear gassed and winning to ensure progress, to the week we spent wandering round such a fascinating city, and meeting Albion...
Crazy, isn’t it? I was at a match once where the security guy tried to confiscate an iPad that I had in the inside pocket of my coat. I finally persuaded him that I was unlikely to luzz an £800 gadget onto the pitch, especially one that contained a mass of personal data to instantly identify the...
Come off it. I don’t go to a match to enjoy the subtlety, personality and spontaneity of the crowd. I want noise and atmosphere. You might get some humour if you’re in the middle of the North Stand but it’s inaudible where I am, in East Upper. Surely the aim is to make noise to drive on the...
I agree with your point but I wonder if it’s because the smoke bomb was thrown onto the pitch? Also, it would relatively easy to quickly identify the Brighton fan but less so the away fans.
Great city but small stadium. 19,000. Will be very hard to get a ticket for most fans.
Tons of culture. Stunning cathedral and art galleries. Da Vinci's Last Supper mural etc. Main station is glorious. But also has plenty of poverty and a few no-go areas. As with all sets of football fans, the...
I don’t watch many but why would I have a problem with vlogging? It’s the modern way of recording history. Citizen journalism. I’m all in favour. It also needs a fair bit of creativity and tech savvy which I admire them for.
Don’t underestimate the opposition still to come to the Amex. City, United, Villa, Arsenal, Spurs. Even Chelsea might be up for it by the time they arrive. It’s why those dropped points against Sheff Utd, Burnley, Fulham, were hard to take. But as always, we’ll no doubt pull off a few surprises...
I get the joke. I got the joke the first time, the second time….the 500th time. I'm greatly looking forward to the merriment on the 1000th reference.
Why else would I have taken this snap when watching Swiss TV during lockdown?
All this Young Boys hilarity is making me nostalgic for those far-off days in the 4th form. Not sure how my sides can possibly stay intact over the next couple of months.
