I find there is more solidarity between fans of "crap" clubs. I work with a Exeter City season ticket holder, a Forest Green one and a couple of Bristol Rovers fans. One of my other mates is a season ticket holder at Wycombe. I find there is a mutual respect amongdt us that you would never find...

The bbc were very patronising to Marine. "Some of the Marine players will just be happy to be refereed by Michael Oliver’ - WHAT?!? I think the bbc think non league teams put jumpers down for goalposts.

Evans coming across as whiny again, blaming the ref and the facilities. Dont like to hear this sort of thing it just comes across as sour grapes: You don’t expect a referee’s performance to be as poor as that. People will say ‘is that Steve moaning about a referee?’ Yes, I am, he was poor and...

Arent all teams where they are on merit?

Lost a few of the 11 England world cup winners from 1966. I believe there are four left now Geoff Hurst and Bobby Charlton who have knighthoods and George Cohen and Roger Hunt who do not. Sporting honours are sprinkled around like confetti sometimes with some sports getting lots and others...

Survive financially or survive in terms of staying up?

The Duke of Edinburgh's demise is rumoured every few months, even trends on twitter. Hey one day the rumour will be true.

Who remembers the Two Ronnie's sketch the Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town?

Transfer fees have almost died out in lower leagues as well. Who is the last player Gills paid a transfer fee for for instance?

London started as a series of small towns Barnes, Southwark etc each of which grew bigger and merged into each other so as to become indistinguishable from each other. The old parts were City of London and Westminster. The population of london in shakespeare's time was around 350-400k. It...
