with Leicester’s defeat against Manchester U. We are in the Premier League next year.

Last summer I dropped £90 on some nice new size 12 black Barbour Chelsea boots at John Lewis. They’re by no means my only pair of semi-smart shoes but I wear them pretty regularly. I’m fairly tall and heavy but not unusually so. But only MONTHS LATER they’ve fallen apart. The stitching below...

Did Adele say yes? And will Dan (I think it was Dan) recount in the wedding speech how he got Richard Reynolds to ask his future wife for her hand in marriage at half time in a score-draw against Nottingham Forest?

After months of trouble and my third broken spoke I’m going to get some new ones. Never bought them before. How much should I pay? I’ve got a two year old alloy Cannondale road bike with disc brakes that cost about £1200. I commute through west London maybe 50 miles a week and go for the...

What if beating Ajax away and Marseille at home was the peak of the Brighton and Hove Albion experience and we will now slowly return to being an upper mid table Championship side? It feels like that.

There is a brilliant Twitter account which scans old football programmes and magazines and posts the highlights. They’ve found one of uncertain vintage in which Fozzie is photographed with a blue and white (I assume) kangaroo sent by an Australian-based Brighton fan. Anyone know Niki Hassett...

That’s the entire story really. Marvellous scenes. https://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/2023/11/04/arsenal-u18-game-postponed-as-team-bus-went-to-bournemouth-instead-of-brighton/

…according to the Telegraph he’s been chosen as MD of professional cricket at the ECB. The paper describes his time at Sussex as a “mixed bag”. Presumably it means a bag that’s been emptied of all the good stuff, had some food waste put in it, and then mixed.

This will be a weird old game. Both teams will be, to a degree, emotionally and physically spent. Neither side will really want to be there. Yes we could still confirm Europa League with a point or even aim at fifth with a win. But will either side truly be that bothered?

In Brighton, or Hove. Central-ish but I'm not that fussy. Me, Mrs COPB, my mum, and two kids aged 10 and 6. I've been looking and *everywhere* is bloody booked. Any ideas, NSC?

Was the marketing slogan for the new kit dreamed up a few weeks ago by some GENIUS who predicted we’d either stay up or go down by a small number of points? I bet it was.

A ref in Ligue 2 suspended play after homophobic chanting. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11787039/homophobic-chanting-halts-ligue-2-match-between-nancy-and-le-mans It finished, er, 2-1 to the Nancy boys.

An arch-Corbynite city councillor in charge of schools policy who rails against privatisation sends his daughter to the most expensive private girls' school in the country, MailOnline can reveal. Councillor Nick Childs, the deputy leader of Brighton and Hove City Council, has a daughter who...

If Arsenal win the Europa League (don't laugh, stranger things have happened) and they also finish outside the top 5, and City or United or Spurs win the FA Cup and inside the top 5, there will be EIGHT European places up for grabs next year. Not beyond the bounds of possibility, with a...

Russell Bishop, 51, is to stand trial at the Old Bailey accused of the murders of two nine-year-old girls in Brighton in 1986, it can be reported today. Today he pleaded not guilty to killing Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway, both aged nine. The girls were murdered in woods at Wild Park near...

I think eight more. And I think we'll do it.

A new thread on this because it transpires he was called Adrian Elms. He used to live in Ashford Road in Eastbourne. This is a blatant blag for my work, I'm afraid, but I hope NSC will forgive it. If you knew a large black bloke by this name in that town, would you get in touch by PM? Thanks.

This seems like the place for this. I've been told that Republican internal polling puts Clinton four points ahead. Don't have any info from the Democrats. Enjoy your evening...
