With all the screens available I'd hope that at least some could be tuned to the egg-chasing, but I'm not really expecting it. Think I might JLE rather than miss too much of the Calcutta Cup. Just hope we're comfortably ahead by 85 minutes.
Would have preferred any other kick-off time but both me and the missus think we can negotiate holiday for Monday morning. Probably. We hope. Travel booked, hotel booked, assuming loyalty points will allow us to get tickets booked. On the off-chance that BHA don't make it to the Premier League...
A Piglet's Pantry pie from the Western Road Co-op. Had to queue for ages for it because the temporary staff didn't know how to work the tills, and nearly missed kick-off.
It was pretty much the authentic match day experience.
Is there any chance at all that Scotland-England will be on some of the concourse screens after Leicester? Will miss most of the first half if I have to get home for it instead.
Guardian columnist The Secret Footballer has started himself a website at www.thesecretfootballer.com. It seems to have all his old columns plus more behind-the-scenes perspectives from The Secret Physio and The Secret Psychologist. There's also stuff from people who we probably don't need to...
Doncaster Rovers, 2011.
Growing up in one of the rugby playing parts of Scotland (and with Scottish football being - whisper it - not all that good) I never really got into the game as a kid, but when I moved to England I tried to take an interest in whichever team was local at the time...
Gutted to be missing it but I'll be in Edinburgh on Saturday. :tantrum: I was half hoping we'd draw Newcastle because a day trip to St Sports Direct's Park might have been practical but it had to be at home...
Still, I've found a convenient pub with ESPN and there doesn't seem to be any other...
Funny, it's a similar story in our house but the other way around: I had an iPhone 3G but my wife's only had Androids. She hated to touch the iPhone. Even when her most recent was away for repair for a few weeks she preferred to go back to a non-smartphone than borrow my old iPhone.
My...
Bit late now (sorry) but as someone else said you wanted to find The Coal Shed. Best steak in Brighton and could hardly be nearer West Street.
For reference, Foxy's (just down from the station) does the best steak in Hove. Please don't ask me to choose between the two.
They're both a bit...
I'll second this. Portugal is the great undiscovered country of European (red) wine (although some of their whites are none too shabby) mostly because they drink almost all of it in Portugal. Limited export = limited "brand" recognition in UK = good wine at decent prices.
For similar reasons...
Under quantum mechanics the referee can see how quickly a defender lunges in for a challenge but can't see where his studs are, so has no choice but to send the Brighton player off. Pawsonberg's Uncertainty Principle.
Charlton - will keep the boss happy
Huddersfield - closest club to the in-laws, might be able to talk my wife into going to an away game/get away from in-laws to go to the match
Bournemouth - would like to see Cook prove to Gus that he's good enough for the Championship
I don't know what's going on with the discounted travel. I didn't bother getting travel vouchers (had worthy intentions to cycle) but twice I've tried to pay the fare on a 25 bus and the driver has insisted on seeing my ticket then let me on for free. Maybe they were rogue Albion fan bus...
