I've just dropped a fiver on a 4-1 win - at 33-1 that will net me a nice little gain :)

Potter is going to spring 2 or 3 surprises, imo. Wouldn't be surprised to see one or two home debuts, and even a re-giggle in midfield. Of course, I could be totally wrong - I have been with team selection almost every game!!

If you think the line up is strange with 4 centre backs, wait until we get Clarke and White back:) ' we can play 6-3-1 :)

Whilst on holiday in Kenya, I found out that there is still no word in Swahili for Hovercraft!! I was attempting to learn the phrase 'My hovercraft is full of eels' - my favourite phrase to learn in any language - only to be let down. We live & learn :)

this, this, this!!!!!

Good post. I'm over here in USA, and use a VPN - a free one. No problem picking up BBC. I do subscribe to NBC Sports and their Gold site, as it's then possible to watch all the Premier League games live, and really excellent highlights, but I'll certainly not subscribe, just to watch pre-season...

Horrible to have to say yes, but I believe it will be easier for a new head to sweep clean - someone that has no loyalties to any of the players, and who'll be able to make sensible decisions on who stays and who goes. I absolutely loved our 1st season in the Prem - it was like a magic carpet...

This happens all the time over here in the USA, whenever we attend sporting or music events - they'll let you take one bottle of water in - they never tell you if there is a size limit, so I usually fill a 2 liter soda bottle :). Then they take away the top, so the trick is to have a spare...

Just finished Keith Richard's 'Life', which was good, and currently reading Anna Politkovskaya's 'Putin's Russia'. She was the journo who was shot dead in the lift, in her apartment block, supposedly by Putin's hit men. Little bit heavier than Keef's book!!

Reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg joke (God bless 'im): 'I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down'.

Great mag - although thanks to all the TV shenanigans, it should probably be renamed 'When Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday Comes'!

Yep. Some are on NBC Gold - I think I paid around $40 for the privilege to watch those Brighton's game is on NBC Gold tonight.

I hope Palace win before we play them! I can only imagine the horror if their 1st point(s) are against us. Knowing our luck they'll have Loftus-Cheek, Scott Dann, Benteke, Wickham, Tomkins, Fosu-Mensah and Zaha all back from injury by then, and playing out of their skins.

Wow! That's as close as I can remember as far as my agreeing with anyone's numbers! - I thought Duffy and Dunk were both 7's - Dunk scared me on a couple of occasions, but otherwise solid. Felt sorry for Izzy - but even when he got the ball, he didn't instill any confidence. Surprised Bong got...

Funniest example of a player keeping the ball I've ever seen was during a NUFC v Luton game in 1987. Earlier in the season, Luton had spanked Newcastle 4-0, and apparently during the game, were a little unprofessional towards their Geordie opponents. When the reverse fixture took place, NUFC...

It's always hard to start the season off with half a team of new players. I watched Spurs yesterday, and couldn't help thinking that they had an enormous advantage, as all of their team, with the possible exception of Walker-Peters, were so used to playing together. Contrast that with WHU, who...

When my parents lived in Durham, I visited them one weekend, to find out that NUFC were playing MUFC, so I popped along to the game - it was sold out - so I decided to walk around the outside of the stadium, in search of an over-priced ticket from a tout. As I was walking along one of the sides...

Left Dorothy Stringer, then Varndean, to join Her Majesties Flying Club. Tours in Scotland (2), Germany (wasn't allowed home for that FA Cup Final), Norfolk, Hampshire (2) (great posting for getting to home games), then got a job for 3 years in Fareham, still living in Farnborough), before...

Think the song would work really well.....as long as you dropped the 'thank you'......it takes away from the cadence of the song.

Whilst working for a rather prestigious engineering company in Fareham, I left a 'post it' on a straight-laced colleague's monitor, with a note to call Mr. C. Lyon, and put the phone number to Brighton Dolphinarium. When he called the number, the receptionist actually told him that Mr. C...
