Why, during the warm up, do three players wear pink bibs (usually inc. Mitoma) and three players wear yellow ones (usually inc. Baleba, who stuffs his in his back pocket)
Back in the 'what Christmas party budget?' Nineties, in the course of the afternoon, we had starters in one restaurant, then moved on to another restaurant for our main course, then dessert in a third.
In retrospect, it was probably quite a good way for restaurants to fill the afternoon gap.
Drinks at the office on a Friday night before Christmas, before going out to the pub. Offered to help make a huge bowl of salsa that 'someone' wanted and spent all afternoon peeling and chopping tomatoes.
Needless to say, no-one ate any of it, but someone did return to the office after the...
If you haven't seen Alexis MacAllister's recent interview with Gary Lineker on the Rest is Football, I highly recommend it.
Alexis was asked who's the best manager he's worked under. Bear in mind, this is someone who's worked under Klopp, Slot and Scaloni.
He said Roberto de Zerbi, because -...
My other 'sporting achievement' was picking up a snooker cue for the very first time and then potting a red into the far left pocket. I put the cue down and have never played again. Quit while you're ahead I say.
800m at Falmer School sports day circa 1977. The school's fastest girl runner - Nicola something? - set off like a rocket and was way ahead after the first lap.

Did anyone else notice that, when Joao Pedro was talking about his goal on Sat in the Post Match Interview, he said "Milly always tells me to follow the action"

When it came on Bake Off last night we wondered how they were going to boil the condensed milk in the allowed time.
The Official BHAFC podcast with him - out today - is well worth a listen, if you've ever wondered how he never seems fazed by anything, even a one-on-one with Ederson.
Is it possible he failed the no dickheads rule? Swedish scout on BBC says "... when he got feedback he didn't always take it well; he was headstrong. But after a couple of days he would go back to the coach and say they were right and he needed to work."
For those NSC-ers working/skiving at home, I can highly recommend a heated desk. Why heat the whole room when you just want to keep yourself toasty? I got mine from okoform.com
This is why it's never just about the data. It's how you interpret it and recognise the opportunities for your team and the way you play. That's where the real skill is.
I moved to Worthing four years ago. Traded a two-up two-down two-even-further down house near Brighton station for a lovely seafront flat.
Like others have said, It may just be a sign of getting old, but on a bastard hot day in August, beaches are busy, everyone goes home and there's not a...
I'm sure it will be available more widely in some format or other. But there's nothing like revisiting the history with a few hundred other Albion fans.
