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!..

      Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?

      Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?

      Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors.

      I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!
