Cometh the hour, cometh the Burn.

For that reason alone, any win would do. All's fair in love and war.

Yes, the pretendances were faintly ridiculous IMHO. They weren't likely to result in anything other than fan eye rolling disbelief. That said, at least the official numbers were announced on the same day rather than trying to conceal the inconvenient ones! :)

It's an interesting debate and one in which I don't think is quite as open and shut as some might either think or wish. The support for the Lionesses at the last 2 major tournaments has certainly increased considerably and Earps certainly played a major role in helping England reach the Final...

Rumours are surfacing that they decided to unofficially extend the game with a 'first TD wins' rule. They're still playing.

The best thing that could be said is that there's both a symmetry and the Christmas spirit of giving to it. "Please have the ball." "No, you have the ball" "I really must insist..." I went out of the room to make a cup of instant coffee, came back and we were still attacking. Except it was a...

I'm not lovin' it.

Someone on the Argus comments doesn't like us... https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23978443.private-screening-albion-documentary-stand-fall-brighton/ "There are more than two teams in english football, not that the majority of Brighton customers would know that. Most have trouble finding their...

MOTD analysis - plenty of praise for Trafford's saves. 23 more starting changes for the Albion than any other EPL team this season, but Jenas reckons that we're "still a really good side".

Late contender for 2023's random TV moment of the year. Craig Doyle sings a version of the Zamora song on tonight's The NFL Show whilst advertising Bobby's fishing programme. Not the version we used to sing at Withdean though. "When the ball hits your head and you're sat in Row Z, that's...

Witness for the Prosecution now on BBC Four for anyone interested.

Big Villa fan.

Football's always been part of the entertainment industry. Even more so now with more choices for leisure time. The advent of both legal and illegal streaming has only increased the options available. NSC has the same old threads on non-attendance and people leaving early. Why do you care so...

If people couldn't get there (plenty of aforementioned reasons) or simply decided not to go, it's not disappointing unless you wrap up some sort of self-worth in other people's actions regarding midweek entertainment choices in December.

62% possession, 18 shots with 7 on target compared with Brentford's 8 and 2. Fully deserved 3 points.

They've lost the plot.

Any insinuation that Belgium might've helped to engineer a Netherlands win could be countered by asking how many Belgian players could be called up to represent the Netherlands in the Olympics should they go on to reach the Nations League final and thus qualify for the Olympics. None...

The timing was, but as bad as they were, Scotland should've probably scored in that 2nd half as well. England just hasn't been consistent enough over the group games to merit it.

Yes, losing 2 out of the 4 in the September/October fixtures, especially the 3-2 away in Belgium, ultimately cost them. Not enough clean sheets. Before tonight, just one in the previous 8 games. The return of Williamson and Bright can't come quick enough.

Credit to Bronze at the end. Lovely ball and excellent header by her. After Earps and the post kept the ball out at the other end, that should do it despite Netherlands getting a 3rd. But...it's not enough with Netherlands getting a 4th. Exciting end to the game at least.
