I'm now going to have to pretend that I don't care about the FA Cup and say it's now a Noddy two-bob competition that no one takes seriously. So Palace won it, who cares? Much more important to get league points than win Cup ties. And worse, how we laughed at that ridiculous banner they had a...

Oh yes indeed! As that was the shirt when I first started going in 1966 it's always been my favourite design.

You weren't the only one, I wasn't too sure but yes, it seems to be true as it's in the Argus now. Yes, he was one of those players like Graham Winstanley who never let us down, but always seemed to be in and out of the team. I too was a fan, especially as he came to professional football late...

Yes, I know, that was my point. I would argue that two good Championship results are not enough to be considered a potential manager for a top-ten PL club. (Or even a struggling PL club as Southampton can testify). I don't think there's a conflict between wishing him every success (which I do)...

Indeed. So the view expressed by some that that beer luzzing will never happen because 'CCTV will pick the offenders out and people would be too scared of being banned' is at best wishful thinking and at worst total bollocks.

Blimey, I too thought that beer luzzing was a bit of an 'English' thing. I've changed my mind again. Keep the ban! :lolol:

I don't think people wished him ill as such, it's just that some of our more excitable fans touted him as a future Albion manager. (He won a game in charge of us as interim manager y'know). More knowledgeable and intelligent fans know that he would be a disaster as Albion manager - not there's...

Another trick was to drive around and look for the floodlight pylons!

Yes, if you were going 'oop norf' and driving or going on a coach you pretty much had to drive through London. The only debate was whether to go on the South/North circulars, or straight through the middle. Either way it was always a relief to get to Brent Cross and the start of the M1. A...

Yeah, they're all on iPlayer as well, all the surviving ones and the ones where they've made animated versions of missing episodes. I'm working through all of them (in the Pertwee era at the moment). NOTE: The very first series is missing as the son of the writer objected apparently.

I too didn't like the whole Chibnall era, and I thought Whittaker was dreadful. NOT because she was a woman, but just because she was simply 'wrong', far too lightweight. (Someone like Ruth Wilson would have been brilliant). But this new season is excellent. I'm still in 'catch up' mode (hence...

Shhhh! That's my travel hack for going from Brighton to Southampton. Don't want everybody doing it!

We're off there next week so I'll tell you when I get back! :)

That's a valid point. When you see film of the England cricket team celebrating a victory by spraying champagne the Muslim players quickly leave the group as they don't want to get touched by the alcohol. There are people who could be put off attending a football match in case this might happen...

Haven't read the whole thread so apologies if this has already been posted, but this article in the Guardian I think sums it up nicely. Interesting about the rise in hamstring injuries...
