Marseille for the adventure, the incredible atmosphere and the comeback, but missed ko of our first away game in Europe and that will haunt me forever.
Ajax for the sheer joy of the performance and seeing thousands of happy Albion everywhere.
Athens for the city (only one of the three I hadn’t...
No we can't, FFS! You think some bloke guessing where to draw lines on a blurry freeze-frame with no real idea when the ball is exactly in motion is proving this? Oh and it takes three minutes for this charade to play out. Because this is the system we currently have.
After Mac Allister's thunderbolt was ruled out last season I was so close to just walking out. I just couldn't believe that the game I loved would forensically and deliberately want to overturn something so beautiful. Thankfully RDZ has saved me, but I find watching games on TV tedious now.
Also, Stockley Park is often reviewing incidents when play is still going on (ie, Forest's penalty on Saturday). Not sure I, or the players, would want to hear audio on the PA of some bloke asking Bazza if he's got a better angle while we're attacking the other end.
Right from the outset I was...
Used to be able to get in and book in minutes. Now I've got to stare at this nonsense for half an hour. Why is there a queuing system for the first window? No one can gain an advantage.
Likely a huge long shot, but The Guardian has a regular consumer complaints column that loves resolving stuff like this. Email here: consumer.champions@theguardian.com
Last time I was there they had a beer on from the North Laine Brewhouse. Mangolicious Pale if I remember correctly. Certainly never seen any of their beers that far north.
If you like your beer I'd recommend going to the Ship & Mitre, about a five-minute walk from Lime Street. You'll walk past the shuttle buses on the way, which I've always found to be pretty decent. Bit of a bun fight to get on way back, or take a leisurely stroll back into the centre.
Yep pretty much my experience. Had a double hernia about four years ago. Would come home from football in awful pain, stopped drinking for a while, changed my diet. Apparently standing up for long periods and gravity was the issue. Like you I eventually ended up in A&E on morphine. Luckily had...
But that's the point. Walking 45 minutes or sitting in your car might give you the illusion you're heading home, but is it really any different from standing in a queue for 20 minutes at a station literally right next to the stadium? I dunno, it's never really bothered me before. It's all part...
