What? All planes land on the same runway regardless of which terminal they’re going to.

I think, on balance, the being there was better. I saw 5 of our 8 games live and enjoyed them all. Amsterdam in particular was a highlight and the series of coincidences that led to me stepping off a cruise ship to enjoy it made it the most memorable an away trip can be. I am almost pleased we...

Pretty sure the guy next to me was Chelsea but he behaved himself and said little. I noticed he gave a small clap to both Gilmour and Lamptey when they were subbed.

Sorry to correct you, but they certainly did. Only a few and not for long, but I definitely heard it (and I’m not the person you responded to).

I don’t remember Yems being obviously racist and the Crawley fans turned as soon as he was suspended and the players spoke out. They were as apalled as the rest of the football world. I really think this is not an area where differentiators can or should be made.

If we weren’t playing that day, I’d probably be going with my mate who has supported them all his life (but also watches Spurs and did both games Saturday!). I went quite a lot with him in the naughties, including two away games, so have been called an honorary Crawley fan, though I haven’t been...

Why would it be insure and not ensure? Sounds like someone’s made that up (and got it wrong).

Sorry, but people should be paid properly and the goods should be priced properly. If you give good service, I’ll come back and tell my friends. If you don’t, I won’t come back and will tell my friends. Nobody gives me a tip for doing my job well and treating people properly, but they come...

And there will be others like me who didn’t join that bun-fight as I’ll be away and would have been after 2 or 3 tickets otherwise. This really is a wake up call for the club about ticketing for big games. They were very nearly full against Bath, which was on TV. There were always going to be...

Thank you, Spider, for some great memories, the most vivid of which is that second half against Walsall in the pouring rain. A match that will be talked about forever. A great foil to Wardy in those glorious years of my mid-teens. So sad to hear of your passing.

There are people I work with who have been going to Woodside Road for years and were caught out by how quickly the semi-final tickets sold out. There was a lot of angst in the office last week about JCLs that made me pleased I hadn't got one myself, having only moved to this parish 18 months...

Who are Utd?

I hadn’t realised until today that the sound carries this far (near Thomas A Beckett pub). Heard the roar for the winner and now sounds like quite a party going on! Up the rebels.

My concern is that after 50 years of following the Albion, I can safely say it’s currently off the scale worse than I can remember. It was the first time I’ve been abused and threatened by other Albion fans.

I made it there for the first time this season and thought all the locals I met were great. The only spoiler on the day was the behaviour of a few of our own fans, unfortunately, who had no idea what consideration for others actually means and were basically just gobshites. Everton was also a...
