In that moment, the moment when a goal means the world. Do you look up or look down, just thinking yes, or just grab anybody near to celebrate?

Awake at eight an hour late but then remember another date no early train to places far no breakfast near a Betjeman’s Bar as Seagulls we can rest a while Harry Kane you made us smile In support of away fans. A great time always to watch the Seagulls, but a bit too expensive sometimes...

Can anybody finish this ..........to the tune of.....When Johnny Comes marching home again, Hurrah Hurrah. We have the second line which isn't friendly, but honestly can't remember the rest.

Stormy start, signs of sunshine in September, October/November dismal cloud cover, Sunny Christmas cracker..........2015 who knows.

If you remember the lost years from the Goldstone to the Amex and how many fans came together to support us from different teams.. Then a fairly local team in Hampshire are just going to pieces due to money, what else. Salisbury City, cathedral 404 feet tall, great fishing river need our...

James Rodriguez take a bow and a great World Cup, but on a local level I thought our early exit would focus everybody on the fixtures. Please will somebody consider the Tuesday night games??? Enjoy the non related video. And look away for about three seconds if you were there in 83...

Some lines in sports commentary live forever. 'They think it's all over', Cliff Morgan's entire narrative on the Barbarians versus the All Blacks in 1973, Peter O'Sullivan as Red Rum won his third Grand National and Desert Orchid began to come again in the Gold Cup. I have no idea who the...

I really wasn't going to write this post, but couldn't help myself as it really makes no sense of a train journey. I absolutely love the away days and as I'm sure a lot of you do, have rituals of the same breakfast place and we always pretend to be rich by ordering wine at the Betjemen Bar at...

I still like the YT post of Man City winning the Premier League, QPR enjoying the moment away and a cut to Sir Alex person thing............but apart from the obvious the cutaways to local pubs and sometimes houses does it better. So if you couldn't be there when we win in some year to come...

With a policeman telling me nothing to see here and being asked to move on, those on the way back from Bolton via Manchester, can anybody confirm that there was a naked man being restrained by seven police officers by the stairs? Else yesterday was a pretty strange day and I might stop taking...

After a petition that took years, they made Kings Cross a beautiful place and St. Pancras a cathedral of architectural excellence. Same cheap breakfast bar as always, but we have the option now of a glass of wine at 9.00 in the Betjemen Bar and on to glory somewhere north. With awe of these...

I've read a on the BBC website that if fans chant the word 'Yid' at tomorrow's game between Spurs and West Ham, they will be arrested. Is this legal? I totally understand the need to stop racial or cultural abuse. But is there a list of words that we should be aware of, in the event of being...

Yet to see it, but Doncaster away is only weeks away. St Pancras is a beautiful place to start an away day. The Betjemen bar at 9.00, drink in hand before heading north. Kings Cross an absolute disgrace for so many years but did wander through recently trying to work out why it took so long. The...

Before troll invasion, just let one thread go without pejorative comments about the negative side of life where we live. I wrote a post a few months ago about why I like the BBC and the best responses were from ex-pats in far away lands. Not creating a magic world, which I know can never exist...

Just watching Match of the Day with Gus and it doesn't seem to matter if you're Uruguayan or Argentinian, TotNem seems a difficult word.

Just back from the shop where a lovely youngish bloke has just informed me that we are just a bunch of f***ing lemmings. Not seagulls, not s**t, not even f***ing shit, but lemmings. My 'mistake' had been to wear an old Hola Gus t shirt. Now I know I live far too close to a certain place in...

On the away train home from the frozen north we had the same old trivia questions. As in which is the only football league team and tube station that doesn't contain the letters in the word mackerel. But wasn't Millwall the only team that you could write their name with straight lines. Sure it...

Not a directive at all, but surely the Sun has some historians on their editorial staff. I don't have a scanner so can't show you it in it's full glory so will type it for your consideration. DEATH NOTICE THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP Died at home after a sudden illness on Thursday, August 29...

At what point do us mere mortals finally admit that a genius is somebody we will never emulate, should nod to, but being mere mortals, never try to understand them. I thought after George Best, Alex Higgins and Aryton Senna we had worked that out. But (and I do admit a strange time to write)...

I think the former is destroying any chance of the latter.
