Crystal Palace are now Champions Of Europe in the same way that the slow kid from your year used to get the Best Attendance certificate on School Prize Day.
16/04/1983:
Brighton sealed their place in the Fa Cup final by defeating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 at Highbury.
The late Michael Robinson scored the winner for Jimmy Melia’s men.
If VAR is aborted, Sky, MotD and all the pundits, journalists, managers and coaches need to immediately stop over analysing and complaining about decisions on the pitch. That is what saw it introduced in the first place.
@lewis_goodall I wish you’d properly address the media v Starmer. I’m 48 and never in my life witnessed this relentless open hate from first day of his tenure. It now includes BBC news (since Boris’ board), Murdoch channels, GBN, 90% of papers. It’s never been seen at this level, nothing close.
New Bristol City manager Roy Hodgson, 78, was alive at the same time as the player who scored the first ever FA Cup goal in November 1871
Hodgson: born 1947
Jarvis Kenrick: died 1949 (age 96)
Neil Sedaka was one of the great songwriters and this is one of the great songs. The Hungry Years. He played it live on my late night Radio One show on the early 90s. Not a dry eye. It just lands in the heart and stays there. He was such a lovely man. I’ll never forget that night and how lucky I was. Just me and him in the studio.

This hits hard, man
The guy was a genius
I just wish I’d seen him live
One of the undisputed greatest songwriters and musicians of his generation… what a catalogue

Putin thought a bad winter would finish Ukraine off. Now the weather there is starting to improve, and Putin’s best hope of victory is fading after 4 years which have done enormous harm to Russia.
A bit more on the 'Seagull Special' train that took us to so many away games in the late 70s. In the 1979/80 #BHAFC handbook, Ron Pavey looks at why the specials started and how important they were for fans and players. Good to see @brian_horton4 behind the controls!
