Sorry Jah, and Keef, but why is there this amazing faith being put in Roy Hodgson? I really don't understand it.


He has experience of big clubs (Inter Milan for one) has been an international manager, won trophies and league titles around Europe (OK Switzerland) and took a small club (Fulham) to their highest ever position in the their history (First Division/Premiership) and got them to a final of a major European trophy beating top teams like Juventus along the way. Anything else Mac while you're at it? Or are you still peeved that your beloved Martin O'Neill didn't get the job?

Martin O Neill - yes.


Roy Hodgson, I see as a bit of a journeyman manager. Before Fulham it seems noone talked of him despite the long list of lower grade success. He was tested once at a top club and failed. It seems to me his reputation has gone through the roof just on recent form.


And who could not beat Juventus these days.

Their records are quite similar. I think O'Neill's is as good if not better.


I hope Hodgson does well, I just can't see it being a success.


I like the way he speaks, he is very calm and assuring but I think its a gamble, I don't have the same faith others do.


I'm more than happy to be proved wrong. Liverpool needs success.

Anyway to change the subject.


If Celtic and Liverpool get into the Europa league proper (pending thursday nights results), I'm happy to take a small bet with any Liverpool fan (or hanger on) that Celtic will match their progress in the competition.


Lennon v Hodgson.

but you don't pay the rent, your sugar daddy does...we can pay the mortgage, it's just that after we've paid it we can't afford to fooking buy anyone! :)

Keep spending while you can before the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regs come into force...then it'll be business as usual, tick tock...:))

The draw is always exciting, you want to be paired with the big teams for some great european nights, but then you want to get through too.


I will be watching Spurs no matter what as a bit bored with Arsenal, Chelsea and MU easing through the group stages each year whilst seemingly in second gear.


With Spurs in pot 3 it is a very different proposition in that they have in theory to outperform a higher seed to get into the top two places.

Great to see Spurs go through, they're guaranteed at least one European giant in their group, and I don't think any of them will want to draw Spurs. But I just don't think they can afford to go gungho against much better opposition who are a lot smarter/cuter than YBB. It will certainly be an interesting ride!..

      Lexus Stolen On Melbourne Grove

      By Jojo_B · Posted

      Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo

      Milk delivery

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.

      Milk delivery

      By just_browsing · Posted

      Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By Azalea · Posted

      This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
