I followed Aston Villa and Brighton as a kid, with a weird thing for Swindon Town. I had a thing for Villa as my brother brought me, for no apparent reason, and Aston Villa belt. I was also them in the subbuteo league at St Luke's, winning the title in 1981 to match the team. Aston Villa won the...
Well I get all that, but if 'supporters' were berating Tony Bloom then they can pop down the road and support Chelsea. He doesn't elevate the club from the far reaches to Europe to get slated by some ego glory hunters.
Neither of us my friend.
After writing that I found out that Torquay played at Truro in the National League South. I saw pictures of their fans on the train. I then find myself looking on Google Maps deciding which route I would have taken by road and whether or not it was Newton Abbot they...
You have a point to a degree. Perhaps more than a degree.
But folk who see Albion in the context of history and are capable of shrugging shoulders at what some see as poor progress are much happier and less stressed about things. So I like being part of that group.
But that would then be the case for most of the last 120 years.
I see it all in a left field way, or perhaps not so left field. It is what it is, I have no control over what goes on in a match. I love every season because It's football and there's so much more to it than the Albion. Them doing...
@Guinness Boy will tell you what an Eeyore thing that is to do. I once drove up Bear Road with my steering wheel lock on top of my car. For a bizarre reason it didn't come off until Freshfield Road. Must be some sort of Physics lesson in there.
A friend of mine has this week moved to Brora. A village 50 miles north of Inverness. They are a play off away from League 2 in the Scottish pyramid. I believe they have a play off against the bottom placed team.
Indeed. It's always my annoyance how events like this become less about the folk the matter and more about self indulgence and agenda setting.
Ceremonies and commemorate events. Centres open for parties and meals for those 80+. Anyone else can watch events on television or go and do some...
No chance of Leeds blundering. They just need to get more points than the Blunts to go up on Monday. 5 points is big with only three matches left and a goal difference worth an extra point.
Good point. Perhaps we should hold some parties for the the 80+ year olds who lived through it. Give up an hour of our time to go and serve them a warm meal. I'd be up for that.
I'm a bit confused by the event itself. I feel it should be marked across the country and those who lost their lives, or indeed served, honoured. It's good that ceremonies are taking place. And that must continue. My parents lived through it, as well as some bombings here in town, my uncle...
Ah, but then you add a complication to a such a general summary. There will be parts of Derby which are nicer than parts of Luton, but also parts of Luton that will be nicer than parts of Brighton. I have also been to all four and would say that the term 'nicer' also has a wide range of...
