Charlton are clearly aware that plenty of Brighton would try to buy tickets in the home sections in the event we can't get in the away end. This page shows that they're on restricted sale, to various members only, and not over the internet. I am, as is always the bloody case with these games...

Is the correct answer.

Just a word on STH no-shows. If I know in advance that I'm not going to make a game rearranged to a midweek, I get my card to a friend who will find somebody who can go, so the seat doesn't go unused. As far as the club is concerned, I've attended and all is well. But that's not the case - I'm...

It's one thing to consider the impact on travel arrangements for supporters, it's quite another to actually do anything about them. Middlesbrough were a good example of something the club can do for inconvenienced fans recently. As Barber says, the clubs (collectively) have taken the coin, so...

Making us murder our darlings and choose only one? Very difficult. Always used to be The Catcher in the Rye, but lately the imperious Carlos Ruis Zafon has trumped even the great Salinger. So The Shadow of the Wind for me.

Weird, isn't it, how differently the same performance can be viewed by different people? I thought he was their best player by a distance, but they were pretty much awful from back to front, so it's hard to be objective. But he did what you'd expect - recycled possession, always in motion...

I understand all too well the realities of taking Sky's money, but it's getting close to a tipping point where, by not being able to make rearranged games, it's actually very close to being more expensive to hold a season ticket than to pay for the games I can definitely get to. That money's...

The manner of his departure specifically left a sour taste, but: He took the time to applaud all sides of the ground in what he clearly knew was going to be his last game. A small thing, but plenty of players wouldn't do it. That equaliser against Dagenham & Redbridge, the night we got...

Done, fella. Good player, that Goldson. Name's oddly reminiscent of our old ground too.

Vicente. He's Vicente.

Gotsmanov. Not even a contest. Beats 28 players on a mazy run from just inside Hove Park, then celebrates scoring at the end of said run before he puts the ball in the net? Like I said - not even a contest.

That'd be me, hans, among others, no doubt. Those who want to go, fair play, I understand the desire to support the team, particularly if a large turnout can play some small part in relegating that 'club' by backing us in gaining three points. But, even after this much time, f*** them. I won't...

It's the team, innit? Not too many people would suggest Leicester have the best players in the Premier League across the board, but there they sit, top. Get the team set up right, in a system the players understand and believe in, with a manager they'll play for, and the whole can add up to more...

Exactly the same here.

This. I've always felt you get behind the shirt no matter what.* But this would stick in the craw. It's easy enough to understand the realities of the game on an intellectual level, much less so to accept them on a visceral level when you've supported the club since you were a nipper and that...

Good, strong start, Normandy. I liked Bertin - thought he did a very specific job excellently at that level. Can I put Carole, again, since he was here about 37 times?

Wow. Bloom wasn't kidding, was he, about strengthening? That's an excellent signing. The standard of player recruitment has gone through the roof this season. I know Hughton's done an excellent job, but the players he's had to work with compared to last year can't half have made that job easier...

Danish Design, left wrist. Goes on the beside thingy overnight. Very plain - looks not unlike those Swiss railway-style watches. In an ideal world it'd be an IWC Portuguesa, but that kind of money is well beyond my means.

Don't like Luton, don't like Luton Town's fans. Do like Nathan Jones. Bit conflicted by this news - wish him nothing but the best but really don't want Luton doing too well, which I strongly suspect they will with him in charge. What a night that was at Fulham in particular - his passion and...

18/20. Didn't know the one about China, didn't know the one about the Ukrainian mayoral election.
