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.

      NYE is always like this. If you’re concerned about your pets, please consider seeing a vet as they can help. We give our dog valerian and play calming music, which helps especially after long walks and a big dinner. If it’s for yourself, it’s one night, so also suggest seeing your doctor for advice.  It is loud, although more predictable ( kept to evening:to midnight) than Guy Fawkes celebrations which go on for days and are arguably selfish and inconsiderate. Either way, it’s a very difficult time for many.

      Not tech ED but WD.. reclaiming parking fines which council are paying back.

      By beansprout · Posted

      Happy New Year all, I sent a request for reimbursement of fines issues during all this …. Lambeth Council issued unjust parking tickets. Got a reference number back from them.. not heard for three months and from memory expires in Jan. Been round Lambeth Council offices and got know no where except being passed round in circles. Does anyone have a contact number or name please? Talking about a couple of hundred quid. Please do delete if not allowed but sure others have been effected as well…  Thanks and Happy New Year.
