Remember standing in front of them on a small stage at Sussex Uni (1969 or 1970) in the days when you could just do that! I'd been raised on 'Clapton is God' till then but I remember a mate saying to me "What price Clapton now?'. Phenomenal guitarist, like nothing I'd experienced before that...

Next week? 'Even the Maldinis only have three generations!' - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/videos/c78d6pq1yljo - it says Football Focus on the top left of the image. Maybe last week? - I don't watch the full hour. It only appeared Friday!

Good feature, now on BBC Sport and iPlayer, and due for tomorrow's Football Focus about the Hinshelwood family with Glenn Murray interviewing

5 bowling/batting points now plus 8 if drawn mean we'd be promoted. Bring on the rain!!!!

So much credit to us here, both intelligently and energetically, covering most of what Man U tried to throw at us. Especially to Milner who seems to get slagged off so often for his slowness. Both he and Welbeck applauded for their fantastic positional sense, which is the mark of great senior...

Happy to have two great keepers on our books. There was an analysis last season when they were alternating which showed Bart to be marginally better, especially on reaction saves, and so deserved to be made main stopper, but always been happy with Jason, and especially his distribution. Hope the...

It's the same on the website and the app. And now it's out of sync the other way. Not so bad though!

Clearing out the loft and coming across this precious find of the Supporters Club annual Handbook for season 1964/65 - which of you fellow old-timers remembers those!? And in the inside page a photo of Bobby Smith! An unbelievable coup for the now 4th tier BHA to secure him on 14th May for the...

OK so who's still interested in old programmes? I have loads from the 1970/80s including the odd away game, one really old Walsall vs BHA from 1961. Sorry, but I'd want to keep my 1983 semi-final and final programmes. Let me know. I'd rather do a job lot of all of them, probably 200 to 300.

https://theanalyst.com/eu/2024/02/steele-or-verbruggen-its-time-for-de-zerbi-to-choose/ in-depth analysis of Verbruggen vs Steele this season suggests Verbruggen as a no-swap, no-brainer, permanent stopper!

So psyching is all part of the game of penalty taking and saving. The giant of a goalkeeper Frank Swift always stood slightly to one side of middle to tempt the penalty taker into shooting towards the bigger gap, but Frank's height still allowed him to save to further away from his start...

For those who still like paper it's a full 3-page spread and a great read for the £3. Jason Burt had unprecedented access to the club so you can read what the players have for breakfast, dinner and takeaways too!

Had high recommendation in my newspaper so watched it through on iPlayer and was not disappointed. Agree on the Grace comparison totally.

Yes, why don't any of the main news agencies have this? Is it unconfirmed?

Mitoma's 7th goal of the season is a Premier League record for a Japanese player, beating the two Shinji's, Ozaki and Kagawa (both 6 goals) from Leicester (2017-18) and Man Utd (2012-13). I would'nt bet against him extending that record considerably before end of season.
