A pedant writes: actually Guinness is English, insofar as its parent company (Diageo) is British and the beer you're drinking actually comes from west London. A very unimpressive stout, in my opinion. Try one of the bottled Sam Smith's stouts or porters and you won't want the dreary megabrand...

Welcome back any time, as spectator or staff. Deserves better than Leicester and the players he's working with.

The day has brought out the best in the Brighton support and restored a lot of faith. There are inevitably still some tossers among us but the best fans we have are the best fans any club could have.:clap:

You have to say they're a pleasure to watch. And fair's fair, credit to the Pompey fans for singing all the way through a comprehensive tonking. There are times when you just have to admit the better team is thrashing you.

I think Crawley probably deserve promotion by virtue of their reasonable league positions in recent years but when I saw them at Eastbourne earlier this year I wasn't overly impressed. Still, a good stadium and an excellent attendance today so I imagine they would cope pretty well in the Conference.

It may be of interest to some users of this messageboard to know that real-life women (as opposed to the pouting clones with their tits out who make guest appearances on this messageboard) have babies and have a pretty grotty time of things while they propogate the human race. Guess what --...

Not been to the Mad Stad but it looks nice from the M4. I may also become very fat one day. I trust the seats will not discriminate against me then either.

One thing I hate about going to football these days is how you're forced into a particular seat and ordered to stay there. Flexible seating would be great. While we're on this sort of topic I hope the seats can be designed with us six-footers in mind. In other words, take the legroom allowed on...

Harry Hill -- painfully funny live. Saw some Roy "Unfunny" Brown on Sky recently -- about as amusing as torching a Vietnamese village and picking off the survivors with a rifle.

Hang on in there during Sussex by the Sea. The song holds a similar family attachment to me and I well up at the best of times when I hear it. It's very sad that your dad won't see the new stadium but if the chance comes along to buy a brick (as has been suggested in the past) it might be some...

And you've met all 100,000 of us have you? Which category do you fit in, or are you somehow separate from the phenomenon you observe so expertly?

Jeff "Kick Ass" Minton, as the official club banner at Priestfield called him. Too small to be really effective in the hurly burly of Div 3 but a skilfull ball player. Let's face it, we worshipped him in that awful post-Goldstone squad. I hope Canvey Island go up.

Do we get to tear the place to pieces with our bare hands like we did last time? (The Goldstone, I mean, not the Priestfield, though some people did try).

Complete lottery at that stage and the odds are no better or worse than 3-1 against. I think we'd quite enjoy being in a final but an early return to division one doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I hate seasons where finishing fourth from bottom is your big dream.

Fifth in the table. Conference here we come ... unless we lose next week and we'll probably end up in the bottom five. A very strange league indeed.

I drive past Falmer every day and I haven't seen this stadium. Where exactly is it?

I think there should be a whole wing of the Tate Modern given over to an audio visual exhibition of Rainbow art. Your remember those lines and squiggles that used to appear on the screen accompanied by grating, rasping noises.

Fair play to anyone who likes them but I just don't get the joke, if that's what it's meant to be. And if I'm judging them purely on music: there's much better rock to be found throughout any CD rack in HMV. If their music had been released 15-20 years ago it wouldn't even have charted, in my...

Funnily enough I'm not too bothered by Pompey -- family connections account for this, which probably makes me a pikey in a lot of people's eyes. Aside from Palace I reserve my contempt for Gillingham and Reading. I really like it when they lose. Bournemouth I'm not keen on either. When their...

Plus they'll be an hour ahead of GMT. Won't they?
