Anyone keep count of how many times Charlton went down "injured" last night, only to make miraculous recoveries.
The head injury they faked in their own box was the nadir but every other player seemed to have cramp every time the ball went out and at least two other occasions where we...
The dog has dropped his hat several times this evening and each one has nearly caused his owners to stop inhaling breath. I'm only able to post this having stopped choking and successfully moved the kids to a safe zone upstairs. I may not have eyebrows left tomorrow.
Does anyone know what food...
I think many on here will have known Ken but I've not yet seen a link to his collection.
A great man and true Albion fan, Ken's family have marked his passing by setting up a Just Giving Collection for AITC. It would be great to see some NSC contributions on there...
Surely tomorrow is best kicked off with some Canelazo to support the mighty Ecuador? Obviously using the rum substitute, this looks like a cracking winter drinky poo with which to support our three magnificent World Cup stars...
No booze at the World Cup but loads on NSC, I bet.
Just cracked a D'Arenburg Footbolt Shiraz which is £2 off in Tesco when you have a club card.
Hows about you?
Just noticed Saka picked up an injury early on yesterday. We're definitely into games now where potentially getting injured keeps you out of the World Cup. But do England have a player this time round who would cause us all to gather round a red top and perform an idiotic healing routine should...

Dreadful business. A UK version of Alex Jones, making money out of people's suffering. As bad as the bomber IMO.
Saw this on another thread and thought it deserved its own.
Given we are playing Chelsea today (BOOOOO!) was one of the first things they nicked off us the celery song? Or did we pinch it off them?
IIRC at the time the infamous Krispies (so named because he looked like a kid in the Rice...
Pre Chelsea nerves being soothed by my conjuring of my inner @Herr Tubthumper and having a can of Northern Monk Death Star Ep 3 Dulce de Leche Stout. 10.5% m'lord.
I am SIPPING it.
You?
I appreciate this thread could go political or go "considerably richer than yow" but that's not the intention.
Assuming that the cost of living continues to rise thanks to inflation and interest rates, are you going to have to change your football consumption behaviour? I have a good mate who's...
Neither's team has kicked a competitive ball yet under their new boss but lots of speculation about the risk Potter has taken or how suitable a replacement people think De Zerbi is. So, simple question - who's more likely to get the tin tack first?
Poll to follow......
Just stuck a tenner on De Zerbi so I've no skin in this one but I noticed on Paddy Power that Union Berlin manager Urs Fischer is in the market at 33-1.
Probably a speculative bet by someone but as a TB style outsider this one would interest me. Fast football utilising wingbacks and got Union...
The thread title might be stating the bleedin' obvious but the one difference between us and Chelsea is expectation. If Potter got upset with 30 or so clowns booing after Leeds at home, annoyed with comments on here during lockdown football and questions over his ability then he needs to...

Huge number of controversial / incorrect decisions again yesterday. Offside inconsistencies too over the last two game sets. Everton's goal not flagged but (correctly) given offside by VAR, Coutinho flagged when onside, rather than allowed to...
According to GP the first target every season is 40 points. We're 25% of the way there after FOUR games.
Is this season going to be the earliest we've ever been able to rest easy?
Anyone else been?
Spent Saturday afternoon in the National Football Museum in Manchester as an appetiser before the game. Have to say it was brilliant. Less than £20 for me and the boy to get in and you get a free return for a year included.
Some very good exhibits, some original minutes from...
Inspired slightly by a post I just wrote in the stronger or weaker thread, is anyone out there prepared to take a guess on our scored, conceded and goal difference stats with Biss and Cucu gone?
We have been tracking stronger every season since GP took over. Will this be the season the trend...
