It’s a nice stadium, definitely not an identikit one. Great atmosphere there when it is full. It’s a great city as well. It’s had a lot of investment in the last few years and there’s some great pubs.
I know it is quite nuanced, but there are some of these investments that are solely personal, rather than wrapped up in being a sort of Albion Group project right? I see more of an issue where there is true multi-club ownership, and some of the loopholes that creates, rather than an individual...
In terms of actual time taken, it was the 2004 play-off final.
I was living in Cambridge at the time and for various reasons the best route for me to go was driving down to Brighton to then get on a supporters’ bus to Cardiff. Then did the same in reverse. Worked out at near enough a 24 hour...
Let's be completely honest here. Finishing above them in the table means absolutely nothing when they've got their hands on the oldest cup competition trophy in the world. If the roles were reversed, we'd be creasing ourselves with laughter if they were were trying to claim finishing above us in...
The REALLY irritating thing is that IF Palace win then basically every other neutral fan will be delighted that someone 'new' has won a trophy and we'll have to endure extensive coverage on it. f*** all of it.
I'm finding Forest's fall absolutely hilarious. Another club who essentially cheated their way through the financial regulations. Them and their owner thoroughly deserve each other.
I’m also not a big fan of leniency when it comes to this. You get 3 chances (to get you to 9 points) in a 3 year period. That seems more than enough chances to change your behaviour. Turning down speed awareness course seems a bit daft too.
He didn’t rip up trees as the under 18s coach here did he?
Clearly a very intelligent man, but it’s gone horribly, horribly wrong at BR and I’m not sure it can be blamed on the behind the scenes stuff. He started alright-ish in his first few games, but the recent form has been terrible.
Sunderland would become my closest away day, so logically it would be then. However for a whole host of reasons I want them to FAIL. So, anyone but them. If I had to pick, probably Cov. I like Lampard a lot as a manager.
That’s not the case. There’s been SOME rotation, but most of their main players have played every game.
Today was essentially their strongest XI.
(I live in the area so I follow them quite closely).
I’ve had a hatred for him since that game against Fulham where we battered them for the entire game and he scored for them on the break right at the end.
