Schadenfreude is, of course, a totally despicable emotion. But it was hard to ignore this abject cri de coeur on the NUFC forum:- "so fuking angry this team will not get promoted bunch of f***ing pussies . look at brighton grinding out results game after game after game whilst we...

The Knockaert Marseillaise song has just been sent to AK, by the club. Be a nice touch if people could belt out the 4-line chorus during the Villa game. No-one's suggesting dropping Achy Breaky Heart – plenty of room for two songs for such a truly exceptional person. Especially now. It’s a...

I've been working on this song for some time and, coincidentally, was planning to upload a final edit this very evening. Given today's shocking news, maybe this could act in some way as a tribute to Anthony Knockaert, and his family. I know we don't do long songs at the Amex. But, at the very...

Says a new thread on the Norwich "message board", er, Wrath of the Barclay.(Some serious wrath there!) Does our city really seem that bad to first-time visitors?

Anyone taken a look at this prime Norwich fansite? Visually, it's a complete mess, with the green text on yellow especially horrific. And the thread layout is shockingly difficult to read. Makes one even more appreciative of NSC. While I'm here, I noticed they had a grand total of 87 people...

Strolled down to the platform at 22.10 last night. Train pulled in, dead on time. EIGHT empty coaches. Had one to myself. Brighton in 10 minutes. I'd imagined more than a dozen or so intrepid souls might have popped down to see if the [advertised] trains were running. Weird night.

In honour of His Frenchness’s continuing presence among us, it’s surely time to roll out the finished version of the Knockaert Marseillaise. One thing that is especially good about the French anthem is that (unlike poor old Sussex by the Sea) the tune is really easy to sing. Especially the...

Who's that man from Northern England? Who's that man we all adore? Well Glenn Murray is his name And he scores two goals a game And we don't miss Leo any more!

The Marseillaise. Surely one of the best crowd songs ever. Let’s celebrate His Frenchness in style. (We’re practically French anyway) Tune: La Marseillaise, Final Chorus An-thony, An-thony! An-thony, An-thony! Knockaert, Knockaert, tears teams apart And gets the victory!

My primary laptop's power connection has been dodgy for months, and is now threatening to give up the ghost. Standard fault: power light glows intermittently, but will go off if the cable gets moved . Rotating the plug usually fixes it for a while, but looks like the internal connection to the...

Anyone else catch the piece last night on Channel 4 News? I only caught the end of it, but they interviewed Allan Gilliver (Albion forward 1969-70, 57 appearances, 19 goals) who is now apparently suffering with dementia. Last I heard of him was a few years back, as groundsman at Rotherham...

My Canon MG 6300 printer has just failed – thanks to a totally immovable and unreachable jam in the output slot. All the usual suggestions in the manual have been tried – to no avail. No doubt calling Canon would produce a service call and repair bill that would approximate to that of a...

I'm wanting to extend an existing conventional wardrobe and fit it with sliding doors. Main suppliers of doors to the DIY sheds appear to be SpacePro – okay, but limited range. We couldn't find any other makes. The alternative of going down the Sharps Bedrooms route for a supply/install job...

Anyone else had this latest gift from Microsoft? I've just updated my Windows 10 to the latest version (1511), which took about an hour. Once that had installed, I was suddenly being promised 'amazing new features', etc. The most amazing new feature spotted so far is that both the Start and...

With a witty take on our local history and the Boro rivalry. A welcome change from all those boilerplate, cliche-ridden club PR efforts. Well worth a read,

For such a big club – with crowds at the Ipro currently the Championship's highest, it's surprising that Derby's main message board seems so underpopulated most of the time. With NSC showing around 1045 currently online, dcfcfans.uk records just 173. Maybe Derby's simply a more exciting place...

Searching around for - and failing to find - a decent-sized Birmingham City message board (somewhat surprising for Britain's Second City), I was reminded again how much we take NSC for granted. It was the same last week, when Burnley's Clarets-Mad emerged as a fairly tame sort of asylum...

Kenny Jackett, who this afternoon insisted after his team's 2-2 draw at Ipswich that Portman Road was "...a tough place to come." Come on Kenny! I mean, Ipswich? No fewer than SIX teams so far have come away from Portman Road with something, as against just three defeated. Or was Kenny possibly...

Worth a read. How very different from the received wisdom down here.

Intrigued to see how our identity-theft home was being marketed by the rugger buggers, I nipped over to the RFU site .Imagine my surprise on discovering that this "BCS" was STILL not quite finished! BRIGHTON COMMUNITY STADIUM Capacity - 30,750 This stunning addition to the Sussex landscape is...
