Was there in 2004. Think we did train to Newcastle and Metro to Sunderland. Ground is right near a station anyway. Decent stadium, but wasn't overly impressed with the area around it. Might have changed in 20 years I suppose. Will aim to be back next season.

A mate choking on a sandwich and proceeding to pull the longest piece of lettuce out of his mouth like a magic trick. Equally hilarious and revolting.

Nativity 3. Was a press freebie thankfully, but my goodness this was a painful watch. Cinema seemed to be full of increasingly bored kids and parents looking at their watches. Cast is like a who’s who of British TV, but what an utter waste.

Not sure why the European predictor needs changing as it was pretty much bang on wasn't it? The only reason we didn't qualify for Europe was because Palace won the cup, which is an anomaly and something that can't be factored in I suppose. Without that I'd be knee-deep in a spreadsheet with how...

Well I've just watched the Burnley video again (sorry, can't link) and the comedy starts at 2.10 when the scoreboard in the corner shows that we've scored to make it 2-1.

Think it was more that they thought our game had ended 1-1. Still a great watch. Well done to the Burnley fan filming. :D

Wait, Spurs are having their parade tomorrow? They really are going to be on the sauce for 72 hours.

Oh my god, where do I sign up?

Toulouse stake went into a blind trust for a year overseen by UEFA. Saying that, Milan only went into the Europa League at the play-off round after being eliminated from the Champions League. Toulouse were also in that round after finishing second in their Europa League group. Not sure if that...

Sadly no, they both played in the Europa League that season.

Is that the Withdean-era badge on the flag?

Europe all day long and twice on Sundays, with the most obscure away games possible please if in the Conference League. As the person in our group in charge of planning, being the spreadsheet nerd was half the fun. Random airports, seemingly impossible train connections, dodgy hotels - bring it...

A potential interesting dilemma for some on here developing at our friends at Leverkusen. With Alonso strongly tipped to be heading to Real this summer, thoughts are turning to a replacement. According to my Deutschland sources, Bild (yes, the German equivalent of The Sun) is reporting that both...

It's just been so up and down that it just gets tiring, but I've been doing this long enough to know that it's just part of the life of a fan. By the end of the season I'll have only missed three games in the league, annoyingly all wins (Man United at home, Bournemouth and Newcastle away)...

Yep, lost 2-1. Had a uni mate who lived in Paignton so we were also out on New Year's Eve. The game was the coldest I've ever been at a match. Maybe about 200 Brighton on the open terrace behind the goal. I remember we were all moved into the covered stand at one stage. Not sure it made much...

We always go via Penge to avoid Croydon. You'll be fine afterwards as well once you get back to Norwood Junction. The first platform you come on to is normally the one back north.

It really is a wonderful city and I seem to fall more in love with it the more times I go. Think I can see myself living there eventually. House in Portobello by the coast. Season ticket at Easter Road. Down to Gatwick for a few Brighton games a year, northern away games as well. Yep, that'd do...

Apologies for the long post, but thought I'd share this. Was up in Edinburgh at the weekend to mark the first year of the sudden death of my father-in-law, who was Leith born and bred, and a huge Hibee. We'd obviously clocked earlier in the season that Hibs were at home to St Johnstone on the...

Shhhh...

100%. I'll continue to buy away tickets because, surprise surprise, I want to see the team I support away from home. I can't remember the last time I even looked at what loyalty points an away game gives me.
