I've just found out today that the song Black Is Black by Los Bravos (or La Belle Epoque, if you're a youngster like me) was written in a studio in Hoo. Well I'm blowed! Anyone got any more?

I'm fed up of arguing about politics on here (though I expect I will continue to do so) and there's no football going on, which made me wonder what on earth else we can talk about without us all getting on each other's tits. There's only one thing more important than politics, football and...

Number 1: Having enormous, six-foot plus hard men in the squad called "Alfie".

Just found out that it's a 1 p.m kick-off tomorrow, so I thought I'd better put in a heads-up for anyone else who's as dozy as I am.

The match is off to a furious start but unfortunately iFollow is playing the commentary from Dartford.

Someone on the athletics thread said that they didn't like watching it - and that's fair enough -but it got me thinking. What sports other than football do you like watching live or on TV, and which ones don't you like? And which do you like more than football, because that's allowed as well...

Anyone watching?

I'm sorry, but Ricky Holmes is a boxer's name, not a footballer's. And Dean Parrett can't be anything else but a journeyman snooker player. Not to cast aspersions on either of those fine players' footballing abilities, but their names just don't fit. Any others?

Stick it all in here.

Anyone watching? Listening?

OK, the chairman's got no money, the manager's got no plan B and the players are all non-league rubbish, but let's get a bit of perspective. The trouble is, football has changed beyond all recognition. Money has skewed the English game so completely that mobility within it has become all but...

Following on from this: I've just been doing some casual Excel (it is Saturday night, after all, and you've got to let your hair down somehow) and have worked out that Tom Eaves is now number seven on our all-time strike rate chart (goals per game, 50 league and cup matches or more, both...

I bow to no-one in my disgust at having to play against reserve teams in the Piss Pot, and there's no way I'd ever befoul my soul by going one of those matches. But ... it's on iFollow for free (for us abroad, at any rate) and I've got nothing better to do. Should I soil myself all over my...

As a counterpoint to the Billy Hughes thread. When I was a kid, I used to play for Lordswood Kestrels, and our manager was Mr Hobday, who had the wool shop up on the kestrel estate. Back then he mentioned that his son was a youth player at Gillingham, and then later on he said that he'd gone to...

Too late to put the team up. Let's stick the match comments in here.

Got the feeling there are lots of World Cup thoughts going on, but spread out all over the place, so shall we just put them in here?

If not, 1-0!

I don't know if anyone's been following the snooker, but there's been a bit of a hoo-hah because Barry Hearn has banned football shirts, in order to bring the image of the game upmarket and to avoid hoolies kicking off at the Crucible. (Of course, the real reason for this, as blurted out by Ken...

One of the contestants was a Welsh girl whose middle names are Gillingham Football Club. Own up. Which one of you is her dad?
