I apologise in advance for the length of this post, which I wrote for a local residents’ community forum where my son lives (in London). He, and a few NSC friends (one of whom is medically highly vulnerable) with whom I have shared the article by email, have encouraged me to post it on NSC, in...

Thought he had a good game yesterday, improving as the game went on. Never stopped running. Did others notice that his substitution provoked the best and worst from the home fans? When substituted, in accordance with the new rules he left the field on the side of the pitch to which he was...

According to an analysis in today’s Times, since 1958/59, the first season of the modern four-tier league format, Albion are the luckiest club in the draw for the Third Round of the FA Cup, measured by reference to: (i) the weakness of their opponents (average tier 2.49 (where PL = tier 1 and...

After a delayed/cancelled, train fiasco at East Croydon my train limped into Blackfriars at 00:35 and I finally got back to my son’s flat at 01:30, walking home in the pouring rain. Soaked to the skin, I did not care a jot and was (and still am) grinning from ear to ear. I could not sleep until...

Mrs SUA Seagull has excelled herself with a cake she made for my 60th birthday today. I suspected she may have been up to something when I found a photocopy of the Albion logo in the house a few days ago but had no idea what she had in mind! A win against Arsenal tomorrow will be the icing on...

Apologies if this has been covered in another post but I see that CMS scored his 100th career goal for Peterborough today, which is a terrific achievement. Many congratulations to him from all of his friends at the Albion. I am not on Twitter but it would be nice if an NSCer could send him a...
