Harley gives Poyet easy ride to the top
Brighton & Hove Albion 2 Peterborough United 0
By Nick Szczepanik at AMEX Stadium
Gustavo Poyet, the Brighton manager, described his team's start to the season as "a dream" after they had won their opening three...
Stats = great work. If you want to do some more work, it would be good to find a way of representing the effect of new grounds on finishing positions / promotions. Perhaps you coud start by sticking up/down indicators on the lines for each promotion/relegation in the seven year span. Then show...
Close call for Catfish there. It's a Bank Holiday weekend which opens up Frindell's frisson (the wormhole from St John's Wood to MC). Named in honour of the bearded wonder's masterstroke during the 1981 Mornington Ashes. Humf would have smiled down on us to see it used for the first time in 30...

Missing...
We moved to Goldstone Crescent July 1969 and Dad took us to the Portsmouth League Cup in August ... the noise, the buzz, the roar. Wide-eyed, gazing up at him looking for approval, wanting to belong to this fantastic world - happy smiles wreathed in smoke, yellow fingers, bad teeth, bad...
Two issues I've had with the online system ...
1. It's gone 11 p.m. and the website says "due to the high volume of activity, we are currently unable to connect you". Somehow I doubt it's that busy at this time of night. I've got this message several times over the last few weeks at random...
So I arrived Stockholm Tuesday. Horizontal snow stinging yer face and making you wish you'd gone to Daggers. Taxi driver approached, dimly perceived through swirling snow and screwed up eyes. But I could see a dark woolly hat and, emerging out of the blizzard, a familiar badge proudly standing...
Hi folks,
I've got this really annoying client (twat) who claims we were founded by exiles from West Bromwich. I reckon this is utter tosh but I've got to be absolutely sure before I can tell him what a complete arse he is.
I've found a few bits and bobs that suggest we were founded by locals...
Extraordinary thread...
So, we get an average draw and instead of relishing the unfamiliar prospect of (just maybe) reaching the 4th round, one of our number pops on the the CC site, lobs a grenade ("..another relegation side with a small and insignificant following.") and comes across the...
I always remember us being 3-1 up in that game and Rush nicking a draw for them late on....or am I confusing that with the time he got the winner in extra time (LC) to give them a 3-2 win in about 1988?
Forgive me, a lot has happened since 1969...except me Mum & Dad are still in Goldstone...
We moved to Goldstone Crescent in 1969 and Pompey in the first round was my first game (aged 10). Guess that rules out 1968. Er, unless we'd popped over from Belfast for the game...but I'm sure I'd remember that.
Still, what about the third round ... 30k plus and the mighty Wolves (Derek Dougan...
