I'm all for being negative about our chances but those saying that our record against Wednesday is poor are conveniently stopping their count just before one of my favourite Amex evening games in 2012 that ended 3-0 to us.

Based on that table you'd have to say that Bolton and Charlton deserved to be relegated, but we were agonisingly unlucky.

This announcement really is a terrible spoiler for the eLISA mission, which is intended to be exactly that kind of gravitational wave detector in space. (Sorry, I'll say that properly: a Gravitational Wave Detector IN SPACE.) eLISA's proof-of-concept mission, LISA Pathfinder, just got into...

I know it's neither here nor there as far as hardness is concerned, but I've got to admire a creature that is that determined to wind up Saffers. For badger fans, the full hour-long BBC honey badger documentary that the clip comes from is still available on iPlayer.

Would it be worth you lads making more of a deal of St George's Day being the anniversary of Shakespeare's death? While Burns is, um, a fine poet, there's a lot more choice in the Shakespeare corpus. If you wanted to have a patriotic celebration, or a bawdy one, or romantic, or philosophical, or...

Those who like to back humans in the WHC for our ability to out-think and kill pretty much everything else on the planet may be interested in this recent evidence of orcas using ambush hunting techniques on dolphins. Although I don't imagine it will sway those who value lone-psycho hardness...

Don't we have enough threads with absurd speculation about South Americans already? #icantbelieveyouhadthenerve

Yes, but only by the LORD, if you pray diligently enough, in Scotland. If your debts aren't owed to the LORD, I don't think prayer is going to sway Mr Barclays.

As far as I know the debts & debtors version is the standard Church Of Scotland one. I always thought debts were an odd thing to be asking God to forgive -- and the idea of a Scot forgiving his debtors was obvious nonsense -- although "debtors" does scan rather better than...

Yes, I always trip up on "trespasses" / "those who trespass against us" in England, having been brought up with the Kirk's "debts" / "debtors". I'm still word-perfect on the Scottish version at age 39. Being reminded of the difference always makes me wonder whether it reveals anything...

Well, after that video it's not just my nerve that I'm holding.

I was just going to ask the same thing. I see there was flooding at Wivelsfield earlier and more rain is forecast overnight, so even if the scheduled works are completed there may be weather-related problems early tomorrow.

Shocking amateurism from the club. Should've checked FIFA's Christmas opening hours & got the paperwork signed in advance. Barber OUT.

Brentford home form: WLWWW Albion away form: DDDDD So the stage is set for, um, a shock Albion win?

JCL!

Describes her as "underway using engine" but only at 4 knots so I can only assume she's drifting. But still afloat enough that she's sending a transponder signal.

I know of two people who were at last week's game, one of whom hadn't seen us win at the Amex, one of whom claimed not to have seen us win at home since the Goldstone. Bobby Zamora can break all such curses. (See also "not winning in October".) So I wouldn't worry too much about how poor your...

Three: The Albion Scotland (rugby) - follower and occasional Six Nations day-tripper Scotland (football) - follower, but not to the extent of dragging my arse out to a Sky Sports pub for matches that aren't on terrestrial telly, so not exactly avid I support Sussex and genuinely care about...

I see it the other way: every chance we get to sing about being top of the league it could be our last of this season, so I join in enthusiastically. (I'm not in the North, though, so can't speak for sentiment there.)
