There seems to be something of an idiocy arms race on here sometimes. Traditional form has usually meant criticising a signing before he's kicked a ball for us, but some posters on here have really upped their game and are now having a pop before the player's even signed. That's properly raising...

I'd certainly concur with the water change comments; goldfish are messy and need large, regular changes. Make sure you're using a gravel cleaning hoover thingy to get rid of all their crap on the tank bottom. I'd suggest one other thing, though - if it's the same tank and fancier types are...

It's called calimocho - utterly disgusting and bizarrely popular all over Spain. :sick:

Herd, it took us longer to get planning permission than it took Arsenal to get all three permissions they needed, demolish the old industrial estate, build the Emirates and start redeveloping the (heavily protected) Highbury site. It's where it is because it's the only place we could put it.

Have seen the mighty Real Valladolid on more than one occasion. Suggest you check out soccer-spain.com, it's got a handy guide to tickets, and a section which explains exactly why and when most games' kick-off times are set.

Lazy, one-eyed, typically Premier League-centric bollocks. Let them know. I have. viewerservices@itv.com A word on the highlights programme for the FA Cup matches yesterday, particularly with reference to the post-highlight analysis of the Brighton v Arsenal game. Having got through the...

Feel free to send your history out onto the pitch to play the game for you, sir. ;o) Two Gooners at my workplace - one's a season ticket holder, the other was but has been priced out of it. When I was looking at the Arsenal website for a bit of build-up to this one, I hadn't realised they were...

Where did I say that? I clearly said 'this season' - priorities change according to circumstance. You think Bradford prioritised the League Cup at the start of this campaign? It's a bit more complicated than that.

Pre-2004, indeed. Ruel Fox's penalty for Norwich in 1993 was the last one they had given against them at home until Steed Malbranque's for Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-final in 2004 (a game I was at, oddly). 11 years.

I strongly suspect that if you had a trillion pounds you wouldn't need somebody else's second-hand ticket and could find a way into the ground(!) For me, putting to one side the practical considerations like getting my season ticket card back afterwards, what if we win the game and you'd sold...

No brainer for me, too – in the grand scheme of things, and certainly with the club's longer-term ambitions in mind, the Blackburn game is much more important than the Arsenal game. As is every other league game this season. The importance of a game is not solely dependent on the size and...

Leaving you with a predominantly red and blue shirt, Rapper. You'd look like some fashion-loony Palace fan.

This morning's piece of genius is that Ulloa is our latest 'edition' (sic). Christ alive... :facepalm:

While I don't quite share Edna's ire, they baffle me too. Why would you want to display another club's colours? I'm a Brighton supporter who wishes, when I buy a football scarf, to represent that support. End of. (Oh, and the unofficial merchandise argument is another very good one. It always...

I remember that very well because I had to switch sides - I used to stand on the East Terrace before I moved into the North Stand about a season later. It was 8,000 they brought, I think - the entire East Terrace was still open in those days. Edit: 8,000 Arsenal fans but a total attendance of...

This may be a false memory, but I was in the chicken run that day and seem to recall having to wait outside the ground, hanging around in the street behind the South stand end of the ground on police instruction while they let the Arsenal fans, 8000 of them, go past on their way to Hove Station...

Assuming that's not a wind-up, how exactly will they secure home end tickets? Given that the home seats have already near enough been sold out to season ticket holders and 50 loyalty point holders only, and they weren't even through to the 4th round in that time, and home section sales have now...

Quite, but that's a long-forgotten shibboleth. As Danny Baker is fond of saying of the news media, "If you're not scared, we're not doing our jobs properly." The news media, being 24/7/365 nowadays, have so much filling to do that they simply pad it out with repetition, speculation and stupid...

An unguarded moment, failing to toe the party line when he happened to have a camera in his face, and he's being punished for daring to have an opinion. That, and the removal of the City fans' banners shows that any dissent from those who see the realities of The Greatest League In The World™ is...

I'd have that done anyway. Just in case, like. :jester:
