Has anyone else done this? There I was burning into the box at football last night and ping/audible pop and down I went like peak era Murray looking for a pen… Felt like I’d been shot… I actually blamed the bloke defending, thought he’d kicked me lol… When I got up, it was interesting…. I...

Dad passed away on the 6th of February, after a mercifully short but brutal battle with pancreatic cancer. I loved him dearly, and will miss him more than words could ever convey. Of the many gifts he gave me, one was this football club - in an act of typical selflessness, a lifelong...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c93qnxq27edo A different side to our gentle former head coach… it would seem him and Gus are in direct competition for coaching the most clubs, in some of the most far flung places possible…

The Alex Dawson stuff, within the Ferguson thread, made me realise how much our older fans could teach me about those players harking back to simpler times… you know, before the dry ice, and people of vertically challenged stature atop stilts juggling flaming wads of cash, whilst Marcus Rashford...

I've been thinking about the recent successes our talent machine model has wrought, with the substantial profit made on player assets over the past two-three years. Whilst this model clearly impinges on our ability to, (you know...) win stuff it has served to make our club the envy of the...

Thought I’d open the absolutely essential but wholly biased and skewed by victory playing ratings bonanza: Bart 9 - Near perfect today… some awesome long passes, and one or two world class saves, mostly bought about by world class decision making and positioning. Velts 8 - top work winding the...

Hung proudly in the away dressing room. Now that’s what I call organised, I’m guessing the old German beach towel thing has reached new levels under Fabian 😂

Just and I mean just got tickets for the ‘Heep farewell tour… about one of the only legendary 70s rock bands I’ve not managed to catch… (Atomic Rooster aside, RIP) I’m very, very, very excited - bring on Feb 25 🎸🎸🎸

Saw this earlier on, as ever I’m glad I chose to support our club back in the early 80s… something drew me in… yeah, we’re well suited. I’m proud of the club in so many ways, and especially that our chairman is an approachable top bloke. Tony Bloom joins fundraisers at the end of epic cycle...

Rigidity vs pragmatism…. Turns out a pragmatic approach can reap rewards. I said a while back that, if we ignore the hyperbole, step back etc. the reality is that Roberto is really no better than a Silva at PL level… for some reason the media have decided Roberto falls into the maverick genius...

I've waited long for NSC to become a music forum proper, and at last it's come to pass... and not before time. There I was the other day, and I surprised myself a little bit by thinking it's been too long since I'd listened to a MKII classic... after a few moments pondering the options I...

I'm feeling flat, I was flat before the match, flat during it, flat after it... I am a little worried I'm giving way less of a toss these days... I rarely get excited when we win, draw or on the other side of the coin get too bothered when we lose... Maybe I've mellowed...? or maybe I'm finding...

I’m interested to know what the good people of NSC think are sensible (soccer) solutions to VAR massacring football as we know it… ? I don’t think it’ll be abolished, but by God it needs fixing and fast. Last night was hilarious for us neutrals, but if I was a Wolves fan I’d be thinking we’ve...

I’ve always loved this one: It’s literally got it all… some Latin, a knight and a dog… and some footballs… AND some form of cereal crop. Absolutely sodding brilliant. Mark me… For we are nothing without labour !

Really enjoyed reading this, always thought Lentini was a (footballing) genius… anyway, it’s a very interesting read, some things I genuinely didn’t know about Torino too… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65116702

Anyone else watching this one ? - apologies if this has had coverage elsewhere... looks promising, in an Event Horizon set at sea with huge moustaches and religious zealotry to the fore... starting it this evening, hopefully it’ll deliver on the promise of the trailer:

Sooooo... we’re thinking of buying our son his first console and there’s no way in hell I’m buying new... So, is an Xbox one, with 500gb good value at £65 - possibly available through a work marketplace... oh and can it run FIFA 22 ? Thank you. Baring in mind the last console I owned was a...

As it's now looking likely any new HC/manager is likely to be someone who has no playing and/or managerial experience of English football, the winter weather, the lads banter, even English itself and so on... Well, I was wondering where we (or you) would deem acceptable in terms of our league...
