I agree with you Mr M.


In the case for the defense, what has any manager since Hoodle achieved in making England look competitive at the business end of international football (the tournaments)?


With hindsight, I think that 5-1 win over Germany wasn't great for English football as it made Sven untouchable for way too long.


1998 since we've looked like we could win anything.......


Careful what you wish for :)

Actually I agree. One thing BFS is good at is getting the core of a team together. He doesn't pick on reputation, more on the ability to follow his wishes. We will be muscular, intimidating. The football will be terrible to watch but we'll win more than we lose and maybe we can put the pressure on other sides rather than vice versa.



Kevin Nolan could well be the oldest player since Sir Stanley Matthews.

Are we going to have to call you $$$$'s from now on then?

His win/loss perecentage as a manager would suggest we'll lose marginally more than we'll win.


36,3 % Wins

26,9 % Draw

36,8 % Losses



We don't want to be like an Allardyce premier league side. We want to make good use of the young talent we have at our disposal. We don't want to nullify the opposition to win games, we want to outplay them.


We want a manager that players will look up to, a manager used to looking after superstars, a manager that has played and coached at the highest level.


We want a manager with fresh ideas and a plan for a long term future; a Joachim Low or a Didier Deschamps or a Chris Coleman or a Jurgen Klinsmann.


The idea that we have to have an English manager is laughable; ask the England rugby team.

I am no BFS fan, as I may have mentioned once or twice on here. But on this point I sort of disagree. Superstars are Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Ibrahimovic, Beckham (in his day).


Most of these players need someone that will stop pandering to them and explain that despite the ludicrous pay they get from their clubs, they are laughing stocks on the international stage, and need to have a bloody word with themselves. Bit of tough love, which is one thing he might be good for.

No you can't. There were security people there on Tuesday for the friendly v Charlton. They were checking bags for booze. I think the club doesn't want to upset the council, given that they're looking to get a licence for an outside bar to relieve congestion in the main bar.


In addition to tomorrow afternoon's friendly against Millwall, there's one against Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening. The other pre-seasons are away.

Still- good beers in the bar I guess. Is it a tenner in for the Millwall friendly?

I know Suarez was a massive factor, but when Liverpool went close a couple of years back that was without European distraction certainly in the second half of the season (can't remember if they started the season in a competition or not).


In all honesty I've no idea what the teams will all look like this year. Although thanks to a pal I am going to Wembley for the first time since it was done up to see the LFC Barcelona friendly, then to Anfield to see LFC Hull, so looking forward to that.

      Roof replacement costs

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By vladi · Posted

      It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Sue · Posted

      I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.

      Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
