It was another game where, despite the result being sub-optimal, the players seemed to care as much as the fans. Not everything goes to the script these days but I don't remember coming home from any games thinking the players hadn't given it everything.

Not the first time I've seen a well-meaning overseas contributor being shot down on NSC. Rather unpleasant responses that don't show NSC in its best light.

Here's a piece he wrote for the Guardian this time last year about his new year's resolution for 2023. It's about veganism, on the face of it, but it gives you a real sense of the guy's all-round humanity...

That's very sad. A man who used his short time on the planet in a very positive way.

Good, bad, and middling pundits can be found right across the broadcasting spectrum. I find it rarely has much to do with their gender, or playing career. Though I did notice on Amazon this week (Luton-Aresenal game I think) all three studio guests were bald men. That just seems crazy.

I hope so too. Genuinely don't get this weird convention about ex-players not celebrating goals. They play for a different team now, and they want that team to beat us. That requires scoring goals against us. I know it might be a bit different if it's a player who was a genuine legend at the...

Impressive stadium. Will be even better when it's finished.

I was convinced that we'd hear old-school homophobic nonsense from the Luton fans. Last time they played at this level it was probably de rigeur. It's a fairly meaningless fine in financial terms but if it persuades the club to educate some of their supporters about the way most of us prefer to...

It's a brilliant quote and worth a regular re-post. Was it something he wrote or something he said off the cuff? Impressive either way but I'd love to think he just came out with it.

Or a rather feeble sitcom sequel featuring Rigsby’s creepy nephew.

Dick's has a maximum capacity of 200, according to the website.

He did look more imposing. It seemed to me he’d bulked out a little bit so maybe he’s been focusing on gym work. He’s looked a little lightweight in earlier games but once he acclimatises to the physical demands of the league I suspect he’ll be some player.

We just have to enjoy this. Let the club worry about what happens next when the time comes. This is the sort of manager that we, as fans, always wanted.

Genuinely haven't seen anything from the three teams we've played in our "group of death" that makes me think they're better than this Brighton side. Our dropped points were more to do with us acclimatising to the Europa League, but I think the players are much more settled now and aware of...

Absolutely hacking it down here in Seaford. Why is it always torrential rain for our Europa League home games?

I remember going to the Goldstone in my teens, often as a last-minute decision, with little knowledge of who we were playing or what the result would mean. It was just a laugh and a good afternoon out with mates. Win, lose or draw, it didn't matter that much. Beers later that evening, some chat...

According to a website I found myself on this week, there is "nothing worse" than a duvet cover that is too big for the duvet it's on. I do have some sympathy with that view. I was reading the thread about this Wasps move on the Times website yesterday and some people reckon it's a non-starter...

My father in law was a semi-pro musician and performed with various celebs at corporate events in the 80s and 90s. Always said the nicest by far was Bob Monkhouse. Really friendly to everyone, lots of silly gifts (slightly smutty pens etc), very professional. The worst, he maintained, was...

Yes, that's the one, and it was the Newhaven coach I was on. That was me telling the driver not to put the DVD back on. I said it was because of the swearing ( I was with my son, who was fairly young at the time.) But it was a convenient excuse to avoid watching any more of that rubbish. It was...

Longest journey I've done by coach is to Liverpool. Hassle-free though not what you'd call comfortable. Not helped by (a) about 12 episodes of Mrs Brown's Boys being shown on the DVD player and (b) the service station we stopped at on the way home having next to no food available. Also on a...
