Is that the Withdean-era badge on the flag?

Europe all day long and twice on Sundays, with the most obscure away games possible please if in the Conference League. As the person in our group in charge of planning, being the spreadsheet nerd was half the fun. Random airports, seemingly impossible train connections, dodgy hotels - bring it...

A potential interesting dilemma for some on here developing at our friends at Leverkusen. With Alonso strongly tipped to be heading to Real this summer, thoughts are turning to a replacement. According to my Deutschland sources, Bild (yes, the German equivalent of The Sun) is reporting that both...

It's just been so up and down that it just gets tiring, but I've been doing this long enough to know that it's just part of the life of a fan. By the end of the season I'll have only missed three games in the league, annoyingly all wins (Man United at home, Bournemouth and Newcastle away)...

Yep, lost 2-1. Had a uni mate who lived in Paignton so we were also out on New Year's Eve. The game was the coldest I've ever been at a match. Maybe about 200 Brighton on the open terrace behind the goal. I remember we were all moved into the covered stand at one stage. Not sure it made much...

We always go via Penge to avoid Croydon. You'll be fine afterwards as well once you get back to Norwood Junction. The first platform you come on to is normally the one back north.

It really is a wonderful city and I seem to fall more in love with it the more times I go. Think I can see myself living there eventually. House in Portobello by the coast. Season ticket at Easter Road. Down to Gatwick for a few Brighton games a year, northern away games as well. Yep, that'd do...

Apologies for the long post, but thought I'd share this. Was up in Edinburgh at the weekend to mark the first year of the sudden death of my father-in-law, who was Leith born and bred, and a huge Hibee. We'd obviously clocked earlier in the season that Hibs were at home to St Johnstone on the...

Shhhh...

100%. I'll continue to buy away tickets because, surprise surprise, I want to see the team I support away from home. I can't remember the last time I even looked at what loyalty points an away game gives me.

Chapeau, sir, chapeau

Absolutely love this time of year in the racing calendar, but what's the best way to watch now that Eurosport is kaput? I really don't want to fork out £30 a month for TNT. Any other, ahem, options?

Of current bands I’ve always been surprised that Iron Maiden haven’t played one of the headline slots.

Will be a couple of Hamburg mates over for Manchester City away in a couple of weeks. They've fully embraced the Albion over the years (maybe not quite Fabian, but suppose that's in keeping with half of our fanbase). Have gone over to Hamburg for a few games. Great stadium, amazing atmosphere...

We're heading to B&B as well. Top place.
