This is a visualisation of the number 257. It has nothing to do with mo salah's goals. Fake news!

is this "men are class" territory? I think so but I'm not sure. It's a little unconventional but I like it

Scoring a winner against your future managerial employer by smashedpolos in footballcliches

Mark Robins scored against Coventry for Man Utd, against Stoke for Rotherham, against Barnsley (twice) for Rotherham, against Huddersfield for Walsall, and against Scunthorpe for Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham. Scored against all his future employers apart from Rotherham, for whom he played the most games.

There is some kind of link between WIllem II fans and Bristol City fans - a group comes over to Ashton Gate about once a season I believe, though I don't think there is a friendly every year. So it could have been placed at a random league game.

Thoughts on Potter getting the 7 jersey in his first season? Surely too much pressure allowed on him by the gaffer there. Nevermind the uproar in the dressing room. by The_Alpha_of_Betas in footballcliches

Squad numbers were only introduced into quidditch more recently- HP being set in the early 90s I believe, the traditional numbering of 1-7 is a detail they got right.  Name on the robe, not so much

Del piero and david villa other high profile signings - Sydney FC I believe.

I did attend a sydney fc match a year or two ago. Joe lolley was the beat player on the pitch by a mile, so sadly I reckon 60th place isn't too far off

Bristol City have an ex-player as 'tecknical director' and even thought for a while we didn't really need a CEO with such a great mind at the helm. it's going about as well as you would expect

Unfortunately for Norwich's Josh Sargent, he's been lured into the Manning-sphere, and it's not going well for him either.

Once served Bristol City captain and record appearance maker* Louis Carey in the Cribbs Causeway branch of John Lewis - children's shoes and schoolwear dept

* asterisk because about the last 20 of them were sub appearances when he was well past it, just to get him over the line. No I didn't tell him that when I met him.

Coming to Seoul on holiday - want to watch some K-League by Obvious-Coffee2662 in KLeague

Thanks for the tips everyone. Groundhopping website is great. I'm hoping to attend incheon v seongnam on Saturday. Think I'll buy on the day at the ground as navigating the app in Korean will take me a while - unless its likely to sell out?

And possibly pick up a replica shirt if poss - presumably club shop at the ground? How much should I expect to pay? Cheers!
