Yes, EMC was offside, unfortunately. It was a good call by the assistant referee

I was in the Sky Blue stand. It was my brother's first game - what a start. I was absolutely convinced that Liverpool would still win right up until the 4th goal. I remember that sense of relief when Gibson scored that goal. Going into school the following Monday, with all the plastic Liverpool...

Memories of that awful afternoon in February in the Cup vs Ipswich remain raw. They played a mostly second string side and beat us at a canter. This will be a good test of how far we've come (and how far they've slipped).

The steeper stands are a real asset. Far better sightlines, more imposing, it feels larger. But it doesn't have the slightly frightening over-steepened feeling that you get at Reading. It's a shame that the stand on the hotel side is so poor - it that was similar to the opposite stand, it would...

Go to Kelham Island - the walk is about 35 mins or you can take the tram (from Shalesmoor) or the bus to the ground. Lots of good pubs there.

Yes, we have had real problems with both Leicester and Sheff Wed. The ticket office staff just shrug their shoulders and call it a glitch.

The West Coast Maine Line is the busiest mixed-traffic system in Europe, not the busiest line overall (by passengers, this is the Elizabeth Line). But only a portion of traffic on the WCML goes through Coventry (the Rugby - Stafford portion carries a lot), so the WCML through Coventry is...

Bright Mark II (vs Northampton)

The last two matches we went to Street Bar SR1, which is a sports bar in the city centre. No problems on either occasion - indeed, lots of chat with local fans. Not a place to start singing Jimmy Hill songs, though.

After last night, I rest my case.

So have we...

Going back into ancient history, the scenes the greeted the Brian Kilcline goal to win 1-0 vs Luton at Highfield Road in 1985, when we had to win to have a chance to stay up, were utterly mental. It was an extraordinary moment.

Historically, Sheffield was a very industrial city with terrible air pollution. The wind predominantly blows from the southwest, so the workers were located to the northeast (downwind), the owners to the southwest (upwind). Today, the area to the southwest of the city centre (e.g. Nether Edge)...

Yep, agreed. West St / Division St is quite student orientated. The Cambridge Street Collective is a fantastic place for a wide range of street food and a drink, and a good, lively atmosphere. Kelham Island / Neepsend is more indie, less student-orientated and fun. Chop Shop is great if you are...

An adult day ticket for unlimited journeys on the SuperTram is £5.70. You can pay the conductor on board using contactless. All trams from Meadowhall Interchange go to Hillsborough (this is the Yellow Route). They run every 15 minutes. Break your journey at Shalesmoor and walk into Kelham Island...

The snarling nastiness of South Yorkshire Police was an added element of unpredictability in those days, too.

True, but the away end at Bramall Lane is far from good. Cramped concourse, crap facilities and a poor view. It's remarkable that both Sheffield clubs, in the city that was the birthplace of modern football and the site of tragedy that sparked the reconstruction of grounds across the country...

Fair enough, but at least a British player who made his career in England and then managed in England too.

His first spell at Liverpool included three titles, two FA Cups and four Charity Shields in six years. He then won the league with Blackburn in 1995. Hard to argue that was not a success? His later terms at Newcastle and at Celtic were less successful, but four league titles with two clubs is...
