I’d agree with that. Lovely free kick and some nice touches, but would need to get a lot fitter and stronger. He’s clearly better than 7th tier, but not sure he’d even cut it in the championship, unless he made some big strides in a more professional set up.

The four central midfielders worked a treat first half. We seemed to win every 50/50 and pick up every second ball. Losing Lallana was a blow, he was superb tonight. The introduction of Lamptey and a move to 5-3-2 meant our midfield dominance wasn’t quite there. The change back to 4-4-2 was...

No excuses, a shit penalty. He never looked like scoring, zero conviction. He was poor in open play too, not a good night or few months for Gross.

Culverhouse was a fantastic signing for us. We improved massively the season he played as Horton bought in a bit more quality with the likes of Arnott, Hot Rod & Richie ‘The Bear’ Barker.

The best English midfielder I’ve ever seen in 35 years of watching football. He played in a fairly average Man Utd side at times, and yet they still won plenty of trophies, many of which were down to him. Such a rounded player, he could do pretty much anything and one of the few players of...

I remember the Southampton 6th round match, but first one live was at home to Leeds in Jan 89. We went one nil up through a Curbishley penalty in the 60th minute, but a very late Ian Baird goal gave Leeds a come from behind 2–1 victory. The Liverpool game (both) two years later was amazing...

Just watched the final 4 of the series. I think the first two are best, but overall it’s a very good series. A great list of new names to add to the old. Personal favourites included:- Ken Suggestion Cliff Promise Hamilton Meathouse Des Wigwam Max Gland Kit Leggings Add those to the great...

Every episode is now on I Player - I’ve watched the first two, I’ll be watching the rest tomorrow. Great start so far.

I hurt my back the Monday before Christmas, so I've had an uneventful end to the year, after a slow start when I had Covid in Jan and missed the first week of 2021. Pleased to have completed 2,110 miles for the year and set some nice PB's throughout (5k - Hove Prom in October, HM - Goodwood in...

Screw top vs cork tends to be dependent on the country of origin. Rioja’s, most French & Italian nearly always cork. Australian & Argentinian mostly screw top. Most white wines are screw top regardless of nationality.

I wonder if we’d ever go down the ‘Brearley’ specialist captain route, and pick Eoin Morgan until someone else is ready. Ultimately you could have the best captain of all-time, but if you average 200 for first innings, you might at best win one in ten test matches.

My 5k Park Run PB in October was the ultimate U shape 1st K - 3:30 2nd K - 3:40 3rd K - 3:40 4th K - 3:40 5th K - 3:30 Couldn’t find that extra second to dip under 18 frustratingly. I have though bought my first ever pair of Nike Shoes (Vaporfly’s) if that doesn’t do it, I’ll stick to...

I’m another one who doesn’t take food, water or gels even on my final long runs before a marathon. I was regularly up at about 20-21 miles and never felt a real need for it. Back to the original question around long runs, off road miles tend to fly by in comparison to road. Running with...

Thank you. Really enjoyed the race once again. Conditions were tough, but if you ran the 2017 race it was nothing in comparison. Managed a best finish of 8th, just ahead of my 9th last year. The top five get a Christmas pudding so work to be done for next year. A good end to the year for...

Brighton 3 Bournemouth 3 An Ian Chapman rocket into the North Stand goal, sparking jubilant scenes early in Liam Brady’s reign.

I’d be highly surprised if supporters who trekked to Gillingham to watch Andy Ansah & Glen Thomas would boo a performance like the one on Saturday. If they did, perhaps they need to think back to that era, before attending another match. The only time I’d even contemplate booing is lack of...

Subtract £50m for Ben White and the outlay isn’t huge and we’ve progressed so much in the past 2.5 years.

Which player cost us victory with two poor misses. One being a complete sitter. Body position all wrong and abysmal technique. Locadia was poor too, but which one most adversely impacted the game for us. Or put it another way; Maupay was shit for 65 minutes, Locadia for 25.
