Sutton: ‘They have really surprised me this campaign, especially after the way they started it. I reckon Bournemouth will edge it but I should probably apologise to their fans now for saying that because whenever I back them, they never end up winning.’
He seems - as I’d expect - to be...
I worried for my brother’s safety that day - he was on crutches following an operation. Not a great coach journey home, due to the windows being smashed.
I will btw be wearing DMs in the North Stand today!
I’m looking a bit further ahead, ie to the Brighton match on April 27th: if that’s moved to 5.30 I’m fu**ed, as I’ve bought concert tickets for that evening.
The fixture changes are an even worse part of PL football than var as far as I’m concerned.
Instead of MotD I’ve watched the 3-minute Sky Sports highlights of very PL match on Youtube for a couple of years now, thus avoiding the top six love-in.
Also: yes, Keown really is a twa*.
The matchday information email that goes out prior to every home game states clearly that drinks must be in a completely transparent bottle. A few weeks ago I was told by a steward that I couldn’t take mine in unless the cap was removed. I showed him the email and got in (with bottle cap still...

The relocation request form doesn’t apply to...
That match really was the pits. I told my cousin (sadly no longer with us) afterwards that I just couldn't bear to go to the next home game ..... which - if I remember correctly - was postponed, mercifully.
Also Tom Hateley, son of Mark Hateley! I think it was in 1968 that Tony Hateley scored a hat-trick against us in an FA Cup replay at Anfield after we’d held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw at home. Keith East had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside.
Commentators saying that a player is ‘entitled to go down’ when conning the ref to get a penalty.
Players/managers in post-match interviews scratching their face/ear/other part of head. I can’t explain why I find this so irritating, other than the fact that I’m an old misery.
