Great to see our Evan on the list for the world's best Under 21 player for 2023. Quite tough competition, though... Brighton in there looks brilliant, too! https://en.africatopsports.com/2023/10/12/golden-boy-2023-award-tuttosport-names-the-25-finalists-without-gavi/

Right, so we're 99.99% certain of playing in the Europa League next season - time to whet our appetite a little. Who are our possible opponents? I'll start with French Cup winners, Toulouse FC. This would be a brilliant city to visit but, unfortunately, the incompetence of the French police and...

I have just come back from a language week with my Austrian school in Malahide and was blown away with just how much the locals knew about the Seagulls and just how praiseworthy they were. All the football fans I spoke to were appreciative of our style of play and thought that Evan Ferguson was...

I was at Lake Garda last week for a short break with the family and some friends. We had planned the trip around a game at the San Siro as my eldest's second team is Inter. Got to see them play against Fiorentina on the Saturday night. Top tier in the main stand - 14 euros each! Amazing view of...

So, we're pretty much halfway through the season and the table has taken shape. My question to you is - who would you like to see go down? I've gone for Everton (hysterical fans/Dyche), Leeds (Marsch is annoying but not as annoying as their fans) and Bournemouth (tinpot club doing a Portsmouth...

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/28/arts/music/tom-verlaine-influential-guitarist-and-songwriter-dies-at-73.html The lead singer of seminal punk band Television has died. Marquee Moon was one of the finest debut albums of all time but they never quite built on that early success. Saw the band a...

Just seen us being linked with Timothy Weah. Has had some injury problems in the last couple of years which I guess accounts for the relatively low fee being quoted. Here's the article...

Watched this amazing documentary - got to do something on a day without any games! Some fantastic footage from behind the scenes, great interviews with many of the players. I had a massive nostalgia trip watching this and had forgotten just how close Cameroon came to reaching the semi-finals...

Really talented vocalist for the Beat. Loved them as a kid. 56 - no age at all.

While watching the Cup replay the other night on German TV, I heard the commentator say that Barcelona tried to sign our Florin last month as they are short of forwards. Brighton apparently refused so Kevin Prince Boateng was bought instead. Is this common knowledge? Apologies if it's fixtures...

Good evening NSC. I'm in the process of organising a family holiday (boys 9 and 7) to Australia for summer 2019 and I'm looking for advice from your good selves. We're planning to go for the whole of August and have already decided to spend at least a week around Sydney. We're tentatively...

Oscar Garcia has quit his job at Saint-Etienne. He had made a promising start but the 0-5 derby humping by Lyon was his last game. He seems to be becoming a bit of a mercenary/nomad.

Just happened to spot an article linking us with Valon Berisha, an attacking midfielder who plays for Salzburg. Quite a good goalscoring record, contract until 2018, would be plausible for me. Here's a link for any German speakers amongst you...

The Barnsley game is being shown live on German TV which should mean that there will be live streams knocking around. Up the Albion!

I'm sure this will be one of many threads (some serious, some taking the mickey) about watching the game in an unfamiliar location. So, NSCers, I'm calling for your help with the following scenario: I'll be in Milan on Saturday. I can't even work out if there's an Italian TV company which shows...

Derby, QPR and Boro games all live on German TV. Is this unprecedented coverage? Oh, and the Charlton highlights on YouTube have already had over 72,000 views. Man Utd fans checking out our loan star, I guess. Exciting times!

While we are revelling in a record-breaking start to the season, poor old Sami is continuing to struggle. Today's result: Grasshoppers Zurich 5 FC Zurich 0. Now bottom of the table. Will always wish him well. If he hadn't fallen on his sword, we would be enjoying/enduring League One football...

Good afternoon to you all from a gloomy Austria. In April 2016 I will be travelling to Eastbourne for a week with a group of our schoolchildren and I have been assigned the task of organising a day trip to London (60 kids plus four teachers.) The travel firm have quoted us 18 euros a head for...

Oscar has been offered the job at Red Bull Salzburg according to various Austrian media reports this morning. http://sportnet.at/home/fussball/bundesliga/Salzburg/4755483/Oscar-Garcia_Das-ist-Red-Bull-Salzburgs-Trainerkandidat Winning the league with Salzburg is a pretty stress-free job so it...
