I've had it diagnosed for about 3 years now, and was told it was probably a by-product of all the insulin I've been taking to manage my diabetes for the last 15 years or so On medical advice I now hardly drink alcohol at all which has improved my liver readings (couldn't quote you the numbers...

Surely not? Then when they inevitably boot you out after your deal is over you get no compo. Take the longest deal you can get away with!

Bobby Womack's The Poet. To my shame completely passed me by in early 1980s when it was first released when I was still trying to pretend the entrails of punk and new wave were where it's at. Given to me as a present about 5 years later and I loved it then and still do. Proper soul music. And...

Oh dear, if he does come here I do worry about the extent to which NSC will be even more populated by flatulence related jokes, puns and comments......

3. I know there have been lots of injuries but unless whoever comes in dishes out some swift kicks in the pants to some of the underperformers of the past 3 months and/or we get some decent fresh blood in; then we are dangerously close to being relegation fodder next season. I will be delighted...

I know it wouldn't get rid of all VAR issues but I do wonder whether we should just get rid of offside. Given that it was originally introduced because of goal hanging and is now mostly argy-bargy about whether somebody's knee is nearer the goal than someone else's.. And would it just lead to...

It's not the technology that's the problem, it's the incompetent baboons that operate it. They're the problem.

They probably arent. But:- 1) The Kop(and other parts of Anfield) are bigger and more echo-y than the Amex 2) Anfield has a much bigger capacity, and 3) irrespective of all that; GOSBTS is OUR song. Even when I hear it on MOTD and I'm 300 miles away (which I usually am) I find it very moving.

Back when I was young free and single in the mid 80s I shared a flat in south London with a couple of mates, 1 another Brighton fan. He was a once a week man and used to disappear off with the paper to the loo when his time of the week came. He would be in there for ages but, to his credit...

Yes. I find it very odd that Everton fans were desperate to be shot of Allardyce because of the execrable football he served up, but seem not to be bothered by the thin gruel Dyche gives 'em. Perhaps their standards have slipped as their League position has.....

Private Eye. Err........ that's it!

I am sure I remember reading/hearing something about Percy not taking instructions from the coaching staff and just playing the way he wanted to, whether they liked it or not, and that was the reason he got shipped out?

I didn't mind that one so much (the 1-3 v Cambridge at Gillingham). IIRR our one goal was Gary Hart and we hadn't even put the ball in the net for several matches beforehand so it was a bit of consolation. Took it well too - from memory.

Gets my vote as well. The utter despair I felt after that game about our future is not something I want to think about. I think that game featured one of Ashley Neal's (mercifully few) Albion appearances, didn't it?

Indeed. But as others have said he was fouled. And it was beyond the half way line, the Ipswich defence really should have done better once possession was lost!
