Nick Cave and the Bad Screeds Utah Paints

He went to school in Lewes and his parents still live in Newick. He may not call it home but he's there from time to time and I think the secondary school in Chailey has buildings he sponsored or opened or something. Weirdly he stood over the road from my house a few years ago and tried to look...

At the FA Cup semi-final I was in a queue inside for some vastly overpriced confectionary and a Brighton fan was giving a hard time to a guy in a half and half scarf whose cheery answer "I support both so it's win-win whatever happens" was perhaps honest, but not really the most tactful.

Wow. A lot of the time they don't even name the clubs properly or use the badges because they are worried about getting in trouble if they did which makes it even more of a rubbish scarf. If there was an official one I can kind of see the attraction to a neutral as a souvenir of a game, or a...

The catering in WSU seems to hit issues more regularly than it should but...I'm struggling to think of a ground that does it well. Over the past couple of seasons I think I've been to all the current PL grounds except Luton and Bournemouth and only Spurs sticks out as being obviously better run...

Won by a boy from Derbyshire. This is surely a competition we should be entering so we can have our own "champions of Europe" song? https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/23/boy-9-from-derbyshire-wins-gull-screeching-competition

MATty Ryan? Although Bart VerbRUGgen is the (taller) upgrade.

I've got to work in London tomorrow and won't be away from Victoria until 6ish so might miss kick-off due to needing to head home to drop off work stuff first, but will be going. I thought about putting tickets on the exchange but know that if I do so and miss it we'll win convincingly having...

Yep, I don't remember when the St George's cross became so prominent at England games either. This is England fans in Turin during Italia 90, a lot more Union flagging:

November 20th according to Google. I think he has the advantage of having been a real person who lived in what is now England, would be unique to England (where George is shared by many), and he was the original patron saint. His flag is a dragon so I'd also like to see what Nike did with that...

There's a bloke in Lewes who flies the flag of St Edmund in his garden, England's original patron saint before he was usurped by George. I wonder who'd win in a saint-off?

I don't know enough about anything that happened to comment on it specifically, but reading this thread has made me recognise my own privilege. About a month ago Mrs Exile and I were redirected away by the police in London from a pro-Palestine presentation and told an alternative route to go to...

I think maybe it's as much about intensity of games as it about the number of games. Some European football expert who sounded like they know what they are talking about said the other day that the lack of Premier League clubs in the further reaches of the competitions this season isn't a sign...

If we go by what used to be the universal benchmark of quality, Ronaldo is the only one out of himself, Messi, Pele, or Maradona to have ever played and won on a wet cold Wednesday Friday night afternoon in Stoke. (A game in which Danny Welbeck was an unused sub too.)

If this is the shirt I'd be interested to see what was rejected.

90s. I was 15 in 1990 and just starting to find myself a bit, though the music of the late 80s was the start of it. Moved to Brighton in 1993 and have stayed in the area ever since. When I look back I see that decade as the golden era. As others have mentioned, Italia 90, Euro 96, France 98, the...

If we're ditching fanzone can we find some other way to indicate it's the last chance for a pre-match wee as that's it's primary purpose for me these days?

Strawberry jam...I once spent a large part of a summer picking strawberries in Tiptree, Essex, for Wilkin & Sons jam. Midget gem variety which I think goes into their poshest jam maybe. A lot of fun, myself and my girlfriend the only non-retired people there and a real sense of camaraderie and...

Tactical Lib Dem vote here to get rid of the Tory. Hoping for a Labour government. The country desperately needs the Tories to lose, and lose badly.

And presumably funded by others too stupid to realise she isn't, and some clever enough to realise she's stupid and can be influenced and influence
