My sister in law 's neighbours were JK's parents and she got to Know John on his many visits - always pleasant and friendly.

Yes, my thoughts entirely. it really won't be too bad, as we would have a great chance of winning it. The final is in Germany by the way. The only thing might be that with quite a few minor teams, by European competition standards, the matches might not mean a full Amex all the time. Seems...

Yes, incredible response and so infuriating. If you don't like the thread, just leave it -it is that simple.

I am not too surprised at this and detect a slight tailing off in interest. Many matches now are played in front of , I would estimate, more than a 1000 empty seats. Obviously there always be "good" reasons why a ST holder cannot go, but a couple of years ago, so many empty seats on a regular...

If people are fit enough, and now that the days are getting longer, a walk from Woodingdean is really quite spectacular in terms of the views and fresh air - about 40 minutes or so.

Yes, I too had similar thoughts. Obviously delighted with an away win but you do have to feel for them -most will be decent folk, eager to support their team, as we are, and then have to suffer performances like that all season with seemingly no respite until the bitter end puts them out of...

But would you have written all this , had you been alive in 1939?

There were quite a few empty seats near us but I wasn't too bothered about the atmosphere being adversely affected, as the die hards will always be there and they are the ones who tend to be the most vocal in their support, as was amply demonstrated last night. Of course a more than creditable...

Yes, great photo. We were at the angle to see that when the ball was loose, quite frankly it was marginally closer to the useless lump in goal. But nippy winger was mentally and physically quicker than useless lump in goal and in it went! There's only one . . useless lump.

Don't lower the tone . ..

Yes, go to Freiburg. Take the cable car up to the Black Forest hills, enjoy the famous gateau and you will also love the old town. The lake at Titisee is worth a visit and you could climb -or take the cable car -to the top of the Feldberg. Then on your way home, turn towards Luxemburg (at...

What on earth is going on? New manager with new ideas, new doctor, who was presumably seen as the messiah, and the same old injury list - I have followed the Albion for 64 years and never known anything like this -can it really be coincidence that we seemingly have so many training ground...

Yes, agreed. Definitely my experience as well.

Yes, ours is really good and heats up the large room and beyond really well. We have the efficient and eco-friendly (as far as possible) version, according to the chap who fitted it. We are in the country -there is no gas -and like many others in the village rely on our log burner. We only burn...

I am sure that I have seen the 3 hour rule, which is in place to stop folk using it to travel around in town or wherever, as some posters have admitted to. The club pays transport operators for travel to and from the match, and 3 hours is surely long enough for the local area. You were over the...

Undoubtedly some form of retaliation will have been rehearsed such as blitzing Moscow, as you suggest, but I was responding to a poster who intimated that NATO had plans to invade Russia as the Russians have done in Ukraine.

NATo is and always was a defensive alliance and for good measure during the Cold War the West german Army was forbidden to have maps of east germany as that would not be defensive. However, if the Russians had attacked and then been driven back, then that would have been an interesting scenario...

But precisely because he was waiting and thus giving the defenders all the time in the world to regroup, there was no free movement, as the man to man marking made that so hard.

Exactly

In theory you are quite right, but instead of holding the ball, as he did on numerous occasions, when it was clear that brentford were not going to come forward, then a quicker option should have been utilised. The inability to change tactics was what was frustrating.
