Goldstone 1970's. Against Northampton (I think). Raining a lot. Half time 0-0. Final score 7-0. Second half kicking towards the South stand we manage to score 7 without reply. Peter Ward 4 and Ian Mellor 3. Of course I wa sin the North stand and could hardly see! Again in the 70's Away at...

As there seems to be a wave of nostalgia on the board today, were you one of the people stuck on THAT train? Nottingham Forest -v- Brighton League Cup in 1979 I think. We had three football specials that day and having swopped some tickets around I managed to get two together (me and girlfriend)...

Grosvenor Casino (the old ABC cinema) Walk in with photo I.D. - driving licence - fill in a form have your picture taken, go in and gamble. Open 2pm until 5am I think Same at the Rendezvous at the Marina. Sergeant Yorke has burnt down. You can play poker most nights at both with varying...

In 1986 the World Cup was due to be held in South America and the honour was awarded to Colombia!! They had real issues about security, crime, cocaine cartels, infrastucture, stadia etc and over-ambitiously stated that they could resolve all this before the 1986 World Cup. Eventually they had...

Vintners Parrot, Assembly, or any other town centre pub. But go to the Vintners after especially if England win. Some bloke with a big drum led the singing in the precindt outside the Vintners.:clap2:

Truth is tranger than fiction. I play poker at a friends every Sunday night. About 2 months ago I was dealt AK spades. Bets all round and then I pushed the stakes up and went all-in. Mark called all-in, John called all-in. Everyone else folded. Mark turns over a pair of aces, John turns over a...

I may have missed this but why didn't he do the Robot? I really missed it............................

I would tend to agree that being a top striker for one year does not prove yourself but how can Sven justify having Theo Walcott in the side. He hasn't proved himself but Sven is obviously hoping he will come good and Sven will say how good a manager he is. Sven would never leave Jan Huntelaar out.

Even though Klaus Jan Huntelaar is the top goal-scorer in Dutch football he is not included in their World Cup squad as, according to the coach Marco Van Basten, they have enough strikers.....which is nice. Five Ajax players in Dutch World Cup squad Zeist, May 14, 2006 Five Ajax...

I try to be positive but I'm gradually beginning to wonder.......... French Strikers for the World Cup announced Louis SAHA (Man Utd), Thierry HENRY (Arsenal) Djibril CISSE (Liverpool), Slyvain WILTORD (Olympique Lyonnais), Franck RIBERY (Marseille), David Trezeguet (Juventus) England...

Don't treat this with any flippancy! 880,000 supporters managed to put an x in the box at the European elections. They will probably get about 40 seats. Bearing in mind they were a fringe party with none six years ago. It's worrying.

I was there. He tripped and sent the German crashing. Boris had no positional sense and ran round chasing the ball for 10 or 15 minutes. He should play and double up as an assistant to Steve Mclaren (Press liaison??) LEGEND!

What does AIG stand for? Or can someone suggest an appropriate title

Once upon a time I was at a game in South London where Wimbledon (then a Premiership team) were playing and I had complimetary tickets through a friend. Brighton were playing Fulham at Craven Cottage (then a Div 3 team I think) Well walking round the ground by the VIP entrance who should be...

If you have no date/lover/spouse then make someones day and send another single person an anonymous card. (Send it to the opposite sex if you're not gay). Don't try and belittle them and if you fancy them leave a little hint about who you are otherwise be totally anonymous. Listen out in your...

I am really happy to report that I WAS in the Wigan end last night having blagged 4 tickets for the game. Me and 3 friends struggled to get there due to nasty accident on the M25 but arrived in time to see the penalty save. Arsenal were fantastic but supported the boys in blue and white stripes...

I don't think they'll be laughing when the rope is placed around their necks or they are strapped down for the lethal injection. They deserve to have the grin wiped off their faces.

There's that bloke called Mick who stands at the players entrance gate every week, trying to get autographs. He's about 60 covered in blue and white, baseball cap covered in badges. I think he's one of Liz Costa's Barmy Army.

I was on holiday in Spain. It was more painful watching the opening game of the season when we played well for about 10 minutes and made the mistake of singing "What's it like to be outclassed". Then we fell apart and lost 0-4. 0-0 and a good kicking would have been more acceptable.

Perhaps they are not an invention but THONGS are the greatest thing ever designed/invented.
