I couldn't either, until I saw that it was a replacement bus service from Brighton to Lewes. Can't be bothered with that so I guess I'm missing the top of the table clash and staying local.

Oh, maybe not. I didn't pay enough attention to that funny winter World Cup to see how it was used. From somewhere I got the impression that the technology was able to keep up with play and give an instant assessment of offside calls, so I imagined it working something like the goal-line...

I wonder if we'll become a little more relaxed about the high line when the semi-automated offside detection comes in (after whichever international break that is) and these apparent breaks of the line are called back before the ball is in the back of the net. Watching the "goal" then hoping for...

That's a gift for anyone on their forums who makes jokey posts about going to the wrong stadium.

It worked out well for me. Without this thread I would have had no idea that Blade Runner Live was on at the Brighton Centre last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

On the other hand, Welbeck scored from a free kick. Never mind MOTM, I'm ready to award him Player of the Season right now.

Or to put it more succinctly, "I know nothing about football." I hope some neutrals did tune in for today's entertainment.

Still confused by Sky picking this one for TV. Even as a season ticket holder I can barely be arsed to get out of bed on a Sunday for it. Oh well, just hope it's not another 0-0 "wouldn't score if we played until next weekend" affair.

My assessment of Williams last night also contained the words "massive hole" but not in the same way that the Sussex Express used them.

A midweek league cup game? I don't think we're going to be much troubled by noise from the home fans.

Stayed at my seat to clap the team off (obviously a mistake) then as the south-end kiosk in WSU was closed joined one of the mahoosive queues at the central kiosk to get a celebratory pint while chatting with my seat-neighbour whom I hadn't seen since last season. Queued. Watched the...

I do think they've made it a little confusing by having the entrance labelled West 1 lead to stand W3 and the West 3 entrance lead to stand W1. I wonder if that was the reason for the number of people who seemed to be trying to get into the West Upper with West Lower tickets.

And the BAFTA for "Most uses of the word "offside" in a nineteen-minute video" goes to...

If we are you'll be wanting to break out that chart with the wibbly lines that show how far over or under the tracker we were after each game in all our Premier League seasons.

Good to establish that we can beat them without Groß. Although I feel like he could have made the win a bit more comfortable for us. With that front line he'd have had three or four assists already this season.

That is figuratively one of the ways that languages evolve. (I'm starting a Ukraine-style counterattack for "figuratively" to retake some of the linguistic territory that "literally" has vacated. I don't have high hopes.) It's just a bit unfortunate when a word comes to mean both its original...

It would be enough to keep us top of the league for just a little longer, until Man City score.

Anyone further west getting the downpours yet? Here in Hove it's just been a light drizzle so far. I'd like to believe that it's not going to be as bad as predicted but it may just mean that the heavy stuff will come through late morning when we're on our way to the stadium.

I noticed that the somewhat half-hearted booing by German fans didn't put him off his game at all whereas we all remember how he fell apart under the torrent of abuse he received in that first game back at the Amex. He seems to have toughened up since then. "You think this is going to upset me...

I'm so relieved that we're not out already. It's important for it to still be Mathematically Possible to get to the knockout stage going into the third group game. That's what gives me a warm nostalgic connection to the international tournaments of my now-distant youth. Now all we need to do is...
