Looking forward to this one. Littlehampton have bluffed their way to this stage of the Trophy for the first time in their history via two penalty shootout wins and an admittedly great win against Sporting Bengal. They've flattered to deceive this season, despite making some promising signings...

Yes, I certainly would have been there. What year would that have been?

Similarly, Roadrunner was my pen name from the fanzine days. I would normally write the away-day match reports for Scars & Stripes.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this. Rather amusingly, his dad doesn't particularly like football and I've not been instrusive enough to ask directly. I think I (we) would have heard about it if it had gone to tribunal, though. Most likely another 'undisclosed fee' that TB is so fond of.

I work with Toby's dad, who will be a very proud father this evening. Toby would have made his Man United debut some time ago, but he had a serious injury last season which ruled him out for months.

Yes, that made it 2-2, just when 10-man Littlehampton looked to have done enough to sneak through. Absolute arrow of a free kick, gave the keeper no chance. Thought the red card looked a little harsh, foot was high but certainly not the stamp that the Faversham players seemed to be suggesting...

I was also at this one.... Hoping that LA might be a little bit more competitive this season after a couple of decent signings in Rob O'Toole and Alex Laing. They're also claming Kyle O'Brien, a player who I really rate and who has been with us before, but I've yet to see him in gold this...

I’ve paid €80 for my ticket. To be fair to UEFA (don’t hear that very often) the tickets made available to the most regular England away supporters, via the “Fans First” category, have been very reasonably priced. I paid €30 for each of the group games, €50, €60 and now €80 for the knock our...

I've been to all four games so far and will be heading back out to Germany on Friday for however many matches England can stumble their way through. Not been a hint of trouble at any of our games so far, but I'm still more anxious about a potential matchup with Turkey than with just about any...

Glad you enjoyed your visit; had I known you were going to be there I'd have said hello. Unfortunately I missed the pre-match medley as I was running late, but got there in time for Spandau Ballet's 'Gold' as the teams ran out. It was a brilliant display by Littlehampton against their higher...

Is that not the 'winter break' series of games, so half of the PL games would be played on the 13th and half on the 20th?

We also drove up this afternoon, took 6hrs but glad we did it as the train option could be painful tomorrow. And I get a chance to take my lad to the National Football Museum in the morning for bonus Dad Points.

We based ourselves in a bar just off the square and kept a close eye on how quickly the bus queues moved (or rather didn't). About two hours before kick off it became pretty obvious that the whole situation was becoming shambolic, so we took a spur of the moment decision to gamble on the metro...

This Bills performance has really whetted my appetite for next Sunday's game against the Jags at Tottenham, which I have tickets for. Defense has completely dominated this (previously) red-hot Miami offense.....

Doesn't affect me directly, but this is causing some confusion in our group. I'm sure the implication of earlier comms was that the cut off for accruing points towards Europa League away games was the Man Utd game. From yesterday's announcement, it's really not clear whether the points...

They used to, several years ago, but it's no longer a requirement.

Couldn’t make it to OT on Saturday, but this sounds like a reworking of a song I heard being sung by England fans in Glasgow last week. “He comes from Barnsley, he plays in blue and white, he hates the Germans, he thinks they’re f*cking shite, he’s breaking ankles everywhere he goes, his name...

I was in the England end last night, what a privilege to be there on such a momentous ocassion for our club. Got a heads up that Lewis would be playing earlier in the day and spent most of the afternoon torn between 'proud as punch' and 'please don't f*ck it up'. I was kicking and heading every...

Decent, if not high quality, entertainment in slippery conditions I thought. Littlehampton started slowly and went 1-0 down early on but grew into the game second half. A little disappointing that they didn't go on to win after equalising early in the second half, hitting the woodwork twice and...

In previous years I believe that a provisional sequence of fixtures was published within an hour or two of the draw being made, but they will still be subject to change once the various authorities have their say. They won't want two big games in the same city on the same day, for example. So...
