How many on here have had concussion before and how was it for you? My experience the last few days has not been great. I came down to Devon on Saturday evening (missing the football and watched pens in the services) to play Mother’s Day golf with mum. It all started very well scoring very...

I am hoping for some shared wisdom from other parents. My kids have phones and they are on my family account. Apple account. So until now I have always controlled their screen time from my phone. I say until now… One of my kids has found a way to use more screen time than they are allowed...

I am now fed up with teams like Arsenal wasting time and faking injuries all the time to get the physio on allowing managers to pass on messages. It is cheating. Has Raya ever got cramp when Arsenal need a goal? No. In fact how often do any players go down with cramp when they are losing? It...

I am hoping the good folk of NSC will have sage advice. My lad missed out on grade 4 in English by one mark. He is a pretty bright kid (got 7 for maths, 6 for physics etc) and was predicted a 7 in England and got that in mock but somehow he only got a 3. School are requesting a remark because...

Sounds like Pervis is not going to be fit so Barco based on that display is IN. What will our starting line up look like next season? Bart New right back JPVH Dunk Barco Gross/gilmour New midfielder Mitoma Enciso Adingra (until March is fit) Pedro. That is only signing two new...

My 15 year old son and I have spent a while discussing things this afternoon and we are not sure. If everyone was available and we had the Europa Cup final, what would our line up be? I think we are looking at the following. I have put an asterisk next to the ones I don’t think are...

Today at Stoke I witnessed more exiting car park bellendery and it has to stop. What is wrong with people? I was in one of the many car parks around the stadium today where they have parking attendants when we arrive but it is free for all at leaving time. Why can’t people just be sensible and...

I am now mid-40s and firmly into midlife crisis mode. I played super Mario Kart on the snes over the weekend and it is much better than the versions on my kids’ switch. It got me wondering about these plug and play sticks that cost about 40 quid with thousands of games. Does anyone have one? If...

It really shouldn’t annoy me but it really does. I can’t cope with it. Why do so many people say “x has three games a week” - it very rarely happens. I reckon it will happen to us once this season and that was the 7 days where we had 3 games between a Thursday and a Wednesday but that is over...

For anyone hiding from the heat sky sports are playing a whole load of half hour highlights if some of our best games This season. I have just set loads to record before heading out.

This is a very tough one for me. Unless there is another angle showing clear handball then I think overruling the Alexis goal might be the worst guess. But I am giving benefit of the doubt and assuming there is another angle so for me it is the dunk shirt pull. You may only pick one.

I have woken up today and wondering if we will hear confirmation of the Gross contract and it made me wonder whether he is a genuine Albion legend. I am 42 and was just thinking about players I hear talked about and how they were adored. So I have had a stab at picking a side based on legendary...

Hi all I have tried standard internet research but I am now even more confused so I am hoping NSC can come up trumps again. My garden office is almost done and now I need to sort out internet. The electrician who put the cable in the ground down the garden also included an armoured Ethernet...

Hi All About ten days ago we found out that my lad who is 13 is really colour blind, mostly green yellow and blue issues but some red. Quite rare version I am told. It is incredible he has hidden it for this long but he just said he didn’t realise and just assumed it was the same for everyone...

This weekend I played my first hockey match outfield for 19 years and I am only 42 years old. Two days later I can hardly move, it is actually agony. When I was younger I was pretty good at hockey and cricket playing at a very decent level in both but then a back injury when I was in my early...

It is being reported that eSports is going to be in the commonwealth games. This has the makings of a brilliant culture war between the kids and grown ups. I am early 40s and have a 13 year old son. He will definitely watch the esports and despite being a very sporty kid (county hockey and...

With 8 out for us, could we see covid level things up a bit? That would make it interesting. https://twitter.com/spursitkhub/status/1467922803697541121?s=21

Hi all, I am after some advice from the wise folk of NSC. I have worked from home since before Covid but have had a spare room that acts as guest room, playroom for kids and office. I have three kids and my twin daughter have always wanted to share a room but they have reached secondary school...

This statement sounds bizarre and clearly we are not but it is brilliant to be included in an article with a vote about which of the contenders could win the league this season. This is not an article by a Brighton fan or a football rag, it is from the premier league...

There must be loads of brilliant examples from the middle aged bods on here. How about this to get us started? Not strictly “computer says no” but very close. My 11 year old daughter fell off her bike coming home from school and we are currently at hospital to get it looked at. We are FINALLY...
