This is ridiculous. The club's argument that the rearranged fixture might come at too short notice doesn't do it for me. Surely the majority of people know now whether or not they intend to go to the re-arranged game, given its midweek. And given its a relatively easy-to-get-to London ground, I...

Couldn't give an example but I seem to recall being subjected to endless chants of "2-0 and you ****ed it up" over the years. Surely at least one of them was a defeat?

I am gutted this wasn't at the Amex. There's probably a reason, but they do play the odd U23 game there and this one seems to have made more sense than most given the nature of the opposition. I know I could have got myself a ticket for the training ground, but by all accounts (I admit I've not...

I'm not sure I 100% agree with that personally, but I get your point. However the criticisms of his character and some of his policies tend to be at other times and places to his time leading Britain in WW2. And I don't think discussion of him as a historical figure should ever be off the table...

I'm not defending this bloke's point or the way he made it, but I don't buy that discussing Churchill with regard to his policies towards Ireland, India, comments made about race, trade unions or the establishment of the NHS are putting today's standards onto him. There are plenty at the time...

Just booked my summer holiday (school holiday times) to Malta. Pretty much every option with every provider was considerably cheaper than Spain.

Several years ago I had the misfortune to come across this man and some his "fans". Very strange people. Was watching Celtic on TV at the old Celtic Supporters Club upstairs in the Lectern on Lewes Road, and was then going to get the park and ride bus to Withdean. Came downstairs to the main bar...

The Holocaust is (and has been for years) the only part of the KS3 history curriculum that all schools in this country must cover. And they do - well. And the students are very engaged by it. Unless you can show me statistics, I fundamentally disagree that Holocaust denial or ignorance comes...

It wasn't bad at all really. It's been a year and a half since we've faced sides that try to shut up shop against us. West Brom did to us exactly what we do to most the Premiership sides we play - let us have a lot of the ball, stay tight and organised at the back, and attempt to hit us on the...

This has probably been done to death already on here but what annoyed me about yesterday was that those of you with WSU tickets had that opportunity to try out the North Stand, but (unless you played the waiting game) those of us who are normal North Stand STH's didn't have the same opportunity...

I always assumed I didn't like basketball based on not very much. For some reason, I ended up watching the whole of the New York - Washington game in London the other night on TV. Thought it was quality and really easy to get into. I'll definitely tune into the odd game on Sky, especially once...

Could it be explained by the fact that one of them is now playing for England, whereas the other one has sometimes struggled to make the jump up to the Prem?

I'm pretty sure there's been Liverpool and Leeds fans punished by their clubs over chants about the Munich disaster against Man United - could this be seen as in the same sort of ball park? Obviously this is different because it was via social media and not at a game, but then there is an...

To be fair, when the fixtures were released we knew Chelsea would be in the Europa league, and we knew what weeks the Europa League matches would be. I'm not saying I'd have been organised enough to work this out, but then it sounds like you did quite a bit of thinking/planning around this.

My experience is that it's just a bit of banter, and mostly limited to sport, but people here seem to be quite precious about it sometimes.

Penalty to Scotland and 6/7 Israel players surrounding the ref complaining - Kayal nowhere to be seen. If that was us, he'd be the first one in the ref's ear.

Just having a look now and it seems like you're right - although looks like you need the membership card for any tickets. This is definitely different to what I came across when I was looking a few years back.

I remember reading once Ajax saying that if you had a normal ticket and couldn't prove you were a Dutch resident you could be refused entry. I'm surprised this doesn't contravene EU law.

I wasn't making a comparison between Eastern Europe and the Middle East. I just think writing off a whole region because of the actions of one government isn't really fair on the region. My understanding (not visited myself but got mates that live out there) is that places like Lebanon, Jordan...

For what it's worth, I wasn't having a pop at Crawley itself with my comments. If you asked me whether I wanted to live in Crawley on Portsmouth I'd have to have a serious look at where I'd be able to afford in each and what the areas were like. However if we're talking about town centres and...
