Brighton go 1-0 up, hold on to 70 minutes, the armchair fan thinks the title race is heating up, then City go and score a couple in the last chapter of the game... Once again doing the stalking routine where they hang about a few points behind for so long during Easter/spring that you forget...

Swindon had a 22 team league to help them to that record too, the cheese sandwich eating losers.

It might be linked to your internet router. A few years ago when I was with BT a couple of devices had connection issues and it was to do with the frequency of the router. When I switched to another frequency in the settings then those devices were running fine again.

Such a shame for them. Gateshead Council have clung on to the stadium while shuttering the main leisure centre in town and all the other cuts you'd expect over the past decade. The prospect of having to hand it over to a private entity or whatever is likely why they can't make a guarantee. I...

Each era has teams which dominate. Man Utd were the unstoppable machine of my childhood. You would play them hoping somebody had an off day so that there was a little weakness you might be able to exploit. When I watch football, I want to see a game where there is that chance. Where a player...

I thought this was going to be a new range of hospitality boxes in football stadia to encourage fans to bring their spouse. "It might be 0-0 with no chance of salvation from the bench, but you can still score with the Smooch Cabin!"

It looks like a scene from Inception, doesn't it?

I seem to recall songs being sang about Barmby's wife when he returned to our ground with Everton. Can't remember any specific words. Not a player, but my father in law was in the Leeds away end at Burnley in the 60s and remembers them chanting "Sieg heil!" at Montgomery when he came out on the...

A lot of teams seem to have different shapes for in/out of possession. I think that with the huge increase in athleticism over the past 20 years, formations aren't to be followed dogmatically when wingers and forwards are routinely getting back throughout the whole match and defenders are...

I'd often enjoy flicking through Playstation World magazine at a friend's house in the late 90s. No place for it now in a world of YouTube streams, walkthroughs and reviews. I think every other magazine I got as a kid is still going in some shape or form.

It's so tedious now that they go into March a few points behind and a couple of games in hand. I've no love for Arsenal or Liverpool but they have provided genuine competition and while yes they have both spent big over the years, everyone knows that City have got these judgements looming yet...

I saw them getting off the team bus at their hotel yesterday and stupidly thought that they wouldn't want to come all this way for a spanking again. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Didier Drogbank. Mohammed ISAleh.

If they're not passing out from the back then they might have a real find on their hands...

It would be a return to the glory days of a fat bloke up front who loves the booze and fags, yet has a graceful touch to curl it into the net after a big kick up front.
