    Grimsby Town

    I suppose most Arsenal fans would be happy to see them score twice, unless they concede eight! I saw Braintree Town play during the week, a game that they won 2-0. I would describe them as a functional team, they don't have any flair whatsoever and are really playing survival football under...

    Man U v Arsenal

    Before the game some pundits were suggesting that Arsenal could be in for a bit of a beating today, but I don't think anyone saw that destruction coming...that is as humiliating as it can get!

    Ryan Harley - Gus can spot a player

    You make a very good point there NMH, it may sound like stating the bleeding obvious, but this is probably the easiest Brighton have ever had it when trying to attract talented players to the club.

    Love the comment: Passing by last night, a new #sussex landmark, & a night navigation aid for us (when the lights are on) @OfficialBHAFC

    Man U v Arsenal

    I can't wait to see this one on MoTD2 tonight...sounds like a classic! Will Sir Alex have much to say to the Beeb, if he speaks, or will he just grumble about the ref being against them?

    Creme de pommes d'amour! My schoolboy French makes that "cream of love apples"...the mind boggles!

    Thank-you Wootton Bassett.

    I understand that RAF Lyneham is closing and its function will pass to RAF Brize Norton, the base is expected to become a centre of excellence for Military Engineering, which would seem a more than reasonable reason to move the flights elsewhere.

    Spa Belgian Grand Prix *thread*

    What is the ruling regarding qualifying times, is it something like fastest time plus 7%, anything over that it is at the stewards discretion whether a driver can start. If that is true, by my reckoning only the first ten drivers would qualify, everyone else is over. Also, what is the score...

    O/T Auschwitz

    The version that I have of "If this is a man" is a double volume with "the journey" about his return to Italy, which is a bloody good read on its own. It was an odd experience to read that, after the recollection of his time in Auschwitz, in the knowledge that whatever he came up against he...

    Brighton Kemptown MP's house trashed after gatecrashed party

    Great in principle, but I recokon that idea is as dead as a Dodi!

    Fat food tax?

    Perhaps we could ban fags and give cash incentives to smokers to move to Greece or Bulgaria. We might lose the tax from cigarette sales but this would probably be more than countered by savings in the NHS from treating smoking related disease, we would also gain a benefit from reducing the...

    Now they are gone

    Quite a few of those listed are still in existence in the non-leagues, or reformed at some stage, from memory: In the BSBP (Conference) are Kiddy, Luton, Barrow, Southport, Stockport, Newport, Gateshead, Wrexham, Mansfield, Lincoln and Cambridge Utd. I think that Halifax FC are in the BSB...

    O/T Auschwitz

    Don't know about Spain, which has to be possible, but they definitely went as far as Italy as that is where Primo Levi was living.

    O/T Auschwitz

    Mid 40's. You are right, it was totally uninspirational and left little or no mark whatsoever on my memory, I was glad to drop the subject at the earliest opportunity. Maybe that was down to the teachers failing to inspire me or just the dryness of the subject, or more likely a mixture of the...

    Would we ever have a match WITHOUT segregation?

    I lived in London when that cup final took place, round about 86 from memory, amongst those living in our flat was an Evertonian. Three of his mates came down from Liverpool for the weekend, they all set off for the final with one ticket between them, all of them made it in for the game...

    O/T Auschwitz

    I agree with this about history in school, I gave it up at 14 by which time I had gone from the dinosaurs to the battle of Bosworth Field during my time at school. If I had covered 20th century history, or at worst from Victorian times and the Empire, it would probably have meant much more to...

    Everton are the first team to.

    Pretty much, eventually they won't get away with it, I have a feeling that this might be the season that catches them out.

    Blackpool Opinion on the Stadium

    Bloody should be missed, with record numbers of pubs going to the wall with the recession and cheap supermarket beer taking profits away from them...pubs should mourn the loss of just one customer, their fate is in their own hands.
