I was staying in London last night so finally got the chance to visit The Fitzrovia Belle in Tottenham Court Road - home of the London Bills Backers. Well over 100 Bills Mafia in attendance, mixture of locals, ex-pats and visitors from the States (including actor William Fichtner, who everyone...

I’m at the game, more to tick off the ground than anything else. But I have to say, these kids are pretty decent - two superb goals. Great view of the free kick for the healthy Albion contingent present.

Went to Littlehampton 4-0 Phoenix Sports, notable only for the fact that returning club-legend Joe Benn scored his first goal after almost 2 years out with various injuries. Oh, and for the fact that Phoenix Sports are possibly the worst side I've ever seen playing at this level.

Looking forward to this one. Littlehampton have bluffed their way to this stage of the Trophy for the first time in their history via two penalty shootout wins and an admittedly great win against Sporting Bengal. They've flattered to deceive this season, despite making some promising signings...

Yes, I certainly would have been there. What year would that have been?

Similarly, Roadrunner was my pen name from the fanzine days. I would normally write the away-day match reports for Scars & Stripes.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this. Rather amusingly, his dad doesn't particularly like football and I've not been instrusive enough to ask directly. I think I (we) would have heard about it if it had gone to tribunal, though. Most likely another 'undisclosed fee' that TB is so fond of.

I work with Toby's dad, who will be a very proud father this evening. Toby would have made his Man United debut some time ago, but he had a serious injury last season which ruled him out for months.

Yes, that made it 2-2, just when 10-man Littlehampton looked to have done enough to sneak through. Absolute arrow of a free kick, gave the keeper no chance. Thought the red card looked a little harsh, foot was high but certainly not the stamp that the Faversham players seemed to be suggesting...

I was also at this one.... Hoping that LA might be a little bit more competitive this season after a couple of decent signings in Rob O'Toole and Alex Laing. They're also claming Kyle O'Brien, a player who I really rate and who has been with us before, but I've yet to see him in gold this...

I’ve paid €80 for my ticket. To be fair to UEFA (don’t hear that very often) the tickets made available to the most regular England away supporters, via the “Fans First” category, have been very reasonably priced. I paid €30 for each of the group games, €50, €60 and now €80 for the knock our...

I've been to all four games so far and will be heading back out to Germany on Friday for however many matches England can stumble their way through. Not been a hint of trouble at any of our games so far, but I'm still more anxious about a potential matchup with Turkey than with just about any...

Glad you enjoyed your visit; had I known you were going to be there I'd have said hello. Unfortunately I missed the pre-match medley as I was running late, but got there in time for Spandau Ballet's 'Gold' as the teams ran out. It was a brilliant display by Littlehampton against their higher...

Is that not the 'winter break' series of games, so half of the PL games would be played on the 13th and half on the 20th?

We also drove up this afternoon, took 6hrs but glad we did it as the train option could be painful tomorrow. And I get a chance to take my lad to the National Football Museum in the morning for bonus Dad Points.

We based ourselves in a bar just off the square and kept a close eye on how quickly the bus queues moved (or rather didn't). About two hours before kick off it became pretty obvious that the whole situation was becoming shambolic, so we took a spur of the moment decision to gamble on the metro...

This Bills performance has really whetted my appetite for next Sunday's game against the Jags at Tottenham, which I have tickets for. Defense has completely dominated this (previously) red-hot Miami offense.....

Doesn't affect me directly, but this is causing some confusion in our group. I'm sure the implication of earlier comms was that the cut off for accruing points towards Europa League away games was the Man Utd game. From yesterday's announcement, it's really not clear whether the points...

They used to, several years ago, but it's no longer a requirement.

Couldn’t make it to OT on Saturday, but this sounds like a reworking of a song I heard being sung by England fans in Glasgow last week. “He comes from Barnsley, he plays in blue and white, he hates the Germans, he thinks they’re f*cking shite, he’s breaking ankles everywhere he goes, his name...
