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!..

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
