Robbed of one of the greatest upsets and comebacks in FA CUP history…for this. Probably goes some way to answering why I struggle to give a s*** about football anymore. Clear and obvious my a***.

I think this is a really good post and interesting take on it, particularly the point on COVID-19. We’ve probably all been guilty of getting caught up in the football is ‘life and death’ narrative, but in contrast to what Bill Shankly (was it?) once said, it really isn’t. I don’t think the...

Unfortunately mate, those that choose to hear what they what they want to hear, will forever do just that. As you rightly say, no mention of disillusion with tactics, results, transfer policy, RDZ, or even anything remotely negative about the Albion. Just an open and honest account of how I...

Well there’s two things here. The football and the day/night out. The pre and post match frolics has never been the problem and I doubt that will ever wane. It’s the ambivalence to the game of football itself that’s changed in recent times. Reassuring to hear that it’s relatively common...

Stayed till 90, watched a famous win, the pitch looked greener and more vivid than usual and I partied after until 0500 in the morning. Hardly wasted. 🤷‍♂️

I think this is exactly the point. Not sure your age but guessing mid 20’s? Which takes me back to my earlier points, that my earlier self would have shared your viewpoint, but at 39 I’m just a bit meh about it all. Whether the same ambivalence befalls you when approaching 40 we’ll never...

The 23/24 season represents my 30th season of supporting the Albion and as we all know this has been a truly historic year for the club. Starting my Albion supporting journey back in 93/94, never did I envisage we’d be beating the likes of Man U and Liverpool (amongst many others) in the top...

Sounds great! If you do a few more away games in the UK, you can perhaps watch the game in the stadium. Hopefully by then the air fares are stable. 🔵⚪️

You’ve probably shelled out best part of £400 (flights and accommodation) to watch the game…in a Pub! Nice one 👍

So your mate with no realistic chance of getting a ticket, has brought a flight, contributing to inflated air fares (pricing those out that could get a ticket) and will now have to watch the game in the pub on his lonesome. I’m going to suspend my sympathy on this occasion.

If Baleba is the answer, I’d hate to know what the question is. Get that he’s raw, but he looks like a rabbit in headlights…exactly how I’d look if you dropped me in there last night. Best recent comparison for age, position and physicality would be Bissouma, but Biss was streets ahead of...

I stand corrected. Given UEFA more credit than they deserve!

Bit of a farce that 12 days before kick off, for a fixture in another country, tickets still haven’t been announced. Why the last 32 fixtures were played on the 22nd Feb when final group standings were known on the 14th December, is completely beyond me. My criticism is aimed at UEFA here for...

You and your partner have my deepest sympathy as I know what you’re going through. 2016 my partner got diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ - a sort of lesser Cancer where the cells remain within the ducts. Three operations to get clear margins and that was that aside from annual mammograms...

Feyenoord gone. No 🍄 in the last 16 then.

P5 I ended up purchasing. Near the front.

Definitely worth continually checking for tickets for those that missed out. Checked this morning and hit the jackpot with 1 x non wheelchair seat showing. Sure as the fixture draws nearer, a handful of tickets will be returned to the club before being re-listed.

Belonging to my dad and lifelong Brighton fan, Bella is a beautiful four month old Golden Retriever. Sadly, she was born with a condition called Ectopic Uretha which makes her incontinent. Ordinarily she would have been put down at 2 weeks old, however the breeder wanted to give her a chance...

I’ve a theory that current mojo levels have nothing to do with the Amex - or quality of football for that matter - but are instead a wider issue and consequence of the last 2 years. Global pandemic, stadium closures and now Ukraine. Suspect for many, the last 28 months has emphasised that there...

More to this than meets the eye. Southgate called him up, played him and Dunk performed well against the USA. I’m certain Southgate saw something during that training camp he didn’t like in Dunk. Be that his general attitude (improbable), or his attitude to training. Sent from my iPhone...
