You get it at the end of quite a lot of serials as well. The preview of what's to come in the next episode, almost always including spoilers. We have to dive for the remote to stop it before it gives too much away. Anyway, on an unrelated side note, that's me done with NSC for a while. Time to...

I find previews like this really annoying. I feel I know what the whole thing is about now, without the pleasure of having my emotions manipulated as the story slowly unfolds on the screen in front of me. And I only read the start of that. Same with some movie trailers. I can choose not to watch...

Same here. I called in again this evening and again it was too chaotic to hang around. The poster who said it’s fine as long as you’re there 3 hours early might be right but if so it’ll stay off-limits for me as I can’t be bothered to do that. Mind you, the Amex lounge might be better. I should...

People here are nuts. The ref gave the Albion goal and was preparing to restart when the VAR told him he had to review it. As we know, that inevitably means the decision has to change. The ref had a perfectly reasonable game. Loads of decisions went our way.

You’re a toxic twat sometimes. I’d love to be able to put you on ignore.

I don't like all this willy-waving about fair-weather fans and excuses for not going to a match. I really enjoy going to see Brighton, which I tend to do for nearly all the home games and a fair few away. I'm lucky. I have the time, opportunity and money to do that. Many don't. There are many...

Beat Villa then renegotiate.

If you have a day job I’d focus on that.

Congratulations to everyone who's managed to stick with it. I felt quite nostalgic reading the last couple of pages as it sounded just like me over the last 30 years. I stopped smoking in the 90s and very quickly started putting on weight which I then set about trying to lose. I was constantly...

It wasn’t 'obscene' it was just very poor refereeing. You feel his perceived poor treatment of Brighton was 'more than coincidence' which sounds like you think he deliberately is trying to do us down. And yet, as @Eeyore posted earlier: "Albion's league record under Attwell in the last five...

Are you talking about the game 3 seasons ago? How many have we played since then? 100 or more? And you’re still going on about this one. I totally agree that we’ve had some poor refereeing decisions but my point is there is no conspiracy against Brighton as some seem to think. And for people...

I think the OP is deemed too old to train to be a teacher but could possibly be a paid teaching assistant. Also there are opportunities to help kids with reading and writing etc as a volunteer.

At my first match in Switzerland (FC Basel) I noticed there were two queues into the gents. One was to use the toilets, the other was a queue for handwashing. People would finish peeing then leave the toilet to join the other queue. It would never happen here! (Well, COVID excepted perhaps.)

We have 3 or 4 players at least who regularly try to con the officials. It’s commonplace in every team. Some seem worse than others eg Martinez because he seems to grin sometimes to add to the shithousery value. Most just do a Pedro and look shocked and/or in agony. I still think Martinez is a...
