Interesting discussion with a friendly random in Twitter over where the 'North' starts. I concluded a while ago that the crooked spire in Chesterfield was the entry point. I wonder if folk differ on this ?

It was mentioned on the other thread about how the league would look so I have ran a little table that only takes a couple of minutes to update the results for each day. So... Here it is at present

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53171423 I don't know why I find it so funny. I think it's just knowing that they didn't check the cutouts before they put them up. There would have been so many opportunities.

For some reason, this morning I was reminded of a conversation I had with a Northampton Town supporting delivery truck driver who I was booking in at my place of work around 1992. The chat got to football and he was telling me how his club was building and 80,000 capacity ground in his area. I...

Having bought a pair of clippers during lockdown and gone all PPF and boots, I was expecting to see a few serious grades on the bonces of the playing elite. But, no. It appears that all the WAGS have learnt hairdressing during those long nights alone in their fortified towers. Since when did...

Anybody watching 'Spy in the Wild' ? Amazing. It's what we pay the licence fee for. Superb series. The Dikkop bird has to be an early candidate for the world's hardest creature

Okay, heeding the entries about the miserable battle zone NSC is at present. Why not something to make a cheer ? Let everyone who wishes place their favourite town or village in the county. Maybe add a picture or two, say what it means to you. This could lead to post lockdown walks (maybe...

Inventors, scientists, medical advances, the NHS, the welfare state, rights, the glorious countryside, CRICKET ! I could go on all night. Slavery, not so keen on that though. But I'm still a proud Englishman. There is so much to celebrate. So what does make folk proud ?

Andy Naylor reporting that Brighton are among the clubs seriously considering cardboard cutout fans on the upper tiers for games at an empty Amex. Apparently we are in discussions with organisations that supply them...

Mods, please merge. Duplicate.

I was watching the highlights of Albion's 2-1 home win over MASSIVE back in 2017. Hutchinson is sent off in the last minute for a potentially career ending challenge on March. Watching and freeze framing the video it appears Hutchinson may not have actually had contact. March avoiding the...

Following on from the surprising success of the NSC quiz tournament, in which everyone followed the rules and kept things flowing, there was a demand for more quizzing fun. Having spent all the cup final money I’ve decided that the NSC Summer Championship is the way forward. So here is the...

St George, nah, Bill should be the symbol of our Englishness. Especially our humour. And he was English, unlike George. So maybe a thread of adapted Shakespeare quotes is what is called for. He was born, and died on this day. So let's quote the bard. ON Albion's Premier League status.. 'We...

Although most will know anyway. But some won't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXGIt_Y57tc&t=6s

My Google calendar has just reminded me that the match has kicked off. It seems like a parallel universe is running alongside us. How i'd long to put Johnny and Warren on to find us 1-0 down to moans, groans, and depressive analysis.

I'm sure we are all missing looking at league table, so let's create one of our own. I'm happy to do the leg work here as long as folk commit to playing as it will take some of the ample time I have at present.. The structure: Those who want to play declare their interest here and I form a...

MixCloud is still a platform that many folk are yet to be introduced to. There is a lot of quality production on there. As well as folks' own work you can source thousands of old radio shows. Remember the Top 20 on Sunday ? Just look up 'Tom Browne' 'Tony Blackburn' etc- many are on there...

Some splendid stuff here to keep you going whilst doing whatever. Currently listening to the 1966 World Cup Final. I'd never heard the radio version before. Wonderful stuff. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06qct94

Simple rules... 1) The fist person who answers the question correctly (confirmed by the person who sets that question only) asks the next question 2) Don't cheat and look it up. I'll start: The 1939/40 season was abandoned. Who was top of the first division at the time of its abandonment ?
