I thought he looked really up for it on Saturday, even by his standards

The wife and I were on our way home from a weekend in Brighton last year and saw the matchday service from Brighton to Falmer; several dedicated trains going straight to and from the ground on a regular schedule, separate queues for anyone using these services so the regular passengers weren't...

Now this is where things get fun! I can scarcely believe I'm about to type this and still find it hard to believe it's true, but this was confirmed at a fans forum last year: Some time pre-Covid, a company that converted retired TFL tube trains into shuttle trains was in the early stages of...

On that I would agree

TBH I don't see why it would be "embarrassing" - the issue is out of the club's direct control. It's entirely in the hands of WMT, and they insist that it can't be done.

"Considering" making a bid, how compelling... I have no respect for wannabe ITKs who make these dull predictions that are impossible to disprove

I have a mate who works for National Rail and he says that this point of "just put on longer or more regular trains on matchdays" is repeatedly raised with WMT and they are consistent that this simply isn't possible in the immediate to short-term, for whatever reason. It feels inevitable to me...

The train is absolutely fine - good, even! - on non-matchdays. The issue is that they maintain the same service (hourly, two carriages) when thousands of people are trying to use it

It just gets worse and worse and worse, it's inevitable that fights will start breaking out or someone blacks out from overheating. I got the 10:40 from Leamington on Saturday and it was arse to elbow by the time it got to Kenilworth, the CBS platform for the first train after the match is like...

That was pretty grim. Hull were well set up and we yet again could not break down a defensive side. There's absolutely no way Wright is ready to play, he didn't look right from the second he came on. Brau looked pretty hungry and up for it so looking forward to seeing more from him. Rudoni and...

It is always worth bearing in mind that the original jury saw nine months of evidence/testimony and the ITV documentary clearly can't cover all of them. I found a Youtube channel run by someone who was present at the entire trial, he came away with no doubt whatsoever that Letby was guilty.

This is a game-changer for me, ngl

I don't eat meat, so it's always been pretty slim pickins at the CBS for me. The vegan hot dogs vary from tasting exactly like the cheap stadium hot dogs I used to love to tasting like they've been under a food lamp since the Northampton days. Not being able to buy just chips is bullshit. Never...

Everything you've listed in your post is covered in the documentary I linked; I would recommend giving it a watch, it's unbiased and very well put-together.

Yeah I think you're right :D clearly have done my best to erase that whole debacle from my head!

ITV have produced a really, really good documentary on the case that's on ITVX as well as YouTube: I really appreciate this documentary for laying out the various issues with both the prosecution and defence cases and letting you draw your own conclusions. Feels like it was a very mismanaged...

That match where he was made captain the same night his transfer to West Ham was confirmed was utterly fucking bizarre

Not nervous at all, if anything I'm hyped to fuck - This is a beloved part of my life and I can't wait to get back into it, see all the people I only really see on matchdays and tick some more away grounds off my list.

This has been my very early experience of the soup kitchen too - They expect an awful lot from the volunteers and are barely keeping up with the demand as it is. Even the managers, for whom this is essentially a second job, don't get paid.

Yes, I've become an expert on dealing with this and have even evolved from saying "do you mind moving that?" to "please move that"
