Whilst we're still on the subject (and as there is nothing of any consequence happening in English football today) delighted to see Coventry City back at the Ricoh and drawing 27,000 on Friday. May be a 'home-coming' peak but I hope the crowds stay.

i think that's hugely significant. He bent that team out of shape in the world cup, should have been dropped but del bosque had faith in him for some reason. I guess if he'd clicked it would have been a masterstroke, but it didn't work out that way.


In fairness i think it was EVERYONE!!!! ;-)

Not written off by me, far too many outstanding players in the squad to be written off. As for Costa, maybe now he will say that he has dreamed of playing for Brazil all along, just like Falcao and Dobby Di Maria have always dreamed of playing for Yanited.

I admit I wrote them off by which I mean I thought their style (and that of Barcelona par example) of pass-pass-pass aka ticky-tacky was being confounded by teams who pressed hard and high up (half way line) and that this latter style seemed to be winning through at the WC.


Interestingly Hodgson seems to have taken note (or at least his young players have) given the pressing and counter attacking v the Swiss.


On another note - given the financial-fair-play fine QPR may get (around ?50m?) from the FL for their last Championship season - if they stay up they'll surely be able to afford it even if they lose their appeal - does this make that fine irrelevant for teams considering spending huge amounts to try and get into the Prem?

The old clich? of you don't become a bad team overnight must work the other way too.

I think Wembley would be a goer but I hate that place and I wouldn't want to be going to the Effeminates and I'm certain Gooner fans wouldn't want us there either so I'd settle for Milton Keynes even though its capacity is only 22,000. There is of course the Olympic Stadium...

We certainly wouldn't want Spuds fans there, I think they should ground share with Leyton Orient.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
