Well, Sky journalists would, of course, have no conception that football existed before 1992.

Yes, Moder is really starting to look the part now and was unlucky not to score tonight. I thought Mac shaded it as Moder still gives the ball away on occasion, but midfield is an area where we have an embarrassment of riches, and Bissouma's eventual departure doesn't fill me with quite so much...

Yes, fantastic performance from Mac A tonight. He did the dirty work while still managing to get forward and dictate the play.

Funnily enough, penalty miss aside, I thought he had a really decent first half. He was linking the play well with some really good first time passes, something I haven't seen him do for a long time. Sadly though, I agree that time is running out on his time in the PL. It's fantastic to see...

I enjoy reading Ronay too, although I think he has a tendency to overdo the whacky similes. David Lacey is my all-time favourite football writer. Witty and erudite with a lovely, clean style. I remember he came up with a wonderful description of the disparate parts of the Albion team in his...

From bleak to redemptive: Well, they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a steam

Sometimes I don't know where This dirty road is taking me Sometimes I don't even know the reason why But I guess I keep a-gamblin' Lots of booze and lots of ramblin' Well it's easier than just a-waitin' around to die One time, friends, I had a ma I even had a pa Well he beat her with a belt...

Wow, that's far too balanced a view for NSC. I don't know either whether he'll succeed or fail next season, but I've seen enough glimpses of his ability and footballing intelligence to want him to have the chance to prove himself, especially after the vile abuse I heard him getting from a...

I seem to remember FG almost capped his jaw-dropping display at Anfield with a winner when he volleyed just over the bar at the Anfield Road end. One of my favourite ever Albion games. Crumplin just edges it over Peter Smith for me as he was dreadful to start off with and then won the crowd...

Waitin' Around To Die - Live https://g.co/kgs/fnuLkH Difficult to listen to this one without blubbing.

I saw Tom Russell a few years ago in Midhurst, of all places. Great gig! Drive By Truckers are a great live band, although I think there was a bit more light and shade in their performances and songwriting when Jason Isbell was still with them. Top three artists I'd like to see live: Leonard...

Yes, and as Andy Naylor aptly put it in today's match report, "...Barnes should have been treading on egg shells, with his side already reduced to ten men. It was his first red card in 130 appearances but an accompanying 23 yellows emphasise an impetuous streak."

Utterly shocked by this news. A fine, underrated player and by all accounts a thoroughly decent human being. What he has done with the Wales team in recent months showed that he had the makings of an excellent manager. RIP Gary.

I quite like Donovan's chutzpah on this one (you'll have to imagine the squiggly accent over the "n" of Lalena): That's your lot in life, Lalena Can't blame ya, Lalena.

Remember it well, and some wag also shouted "What a waste of honey!".
