I think West Ham will go in freefall financially if they don't get up so I'll take 2nd whatever the football's like - fairly average but probably about the best we can hope for with the players we've got (plus a fair few injuries). Getting stuffed playing pretty football gets as boring after a while and it's a long slog out of this division. If it wasn't for two shoddy injury time goals we'd be just a point behind Saints too.

I've been to see the Hammers 5 times this season (yes I know, even after spitting my dummy re Allardyce) and it ain't pretty. Everything centres around Nolan, with pretty and ineffective passing around the fringes before the inevitable hoof to an isolated Cole/Carew with Nolan picking up the knock down. This is how it's going to be for us all season. I know its a tough league and Prehistoric Sam will probably get us up but for now I'm just glad its kids for a quid regularly so I can use my kids as an excuse to watch this stuff.

Disappointing loss for Leeds there. A draw would have been fair. We had more possession and chances throughout but Brum hit well on the break and always looked dangerous when going forward. I'm happy with our current form though after a terrible start to the season.

Can't disagree that Leeds deserved a point - especially given a couple fo top quality saves Myhill had to make. What let them down was the lack of quality in the final ball, which led to too many long balls to the edge of the penalty area that were meat and drink to Caldwell and Davies.


Good to see both teams approach the game in a positive attitude.

Tickets at Selhurst Park only ?10 for adults and ?1 for children this Saturday for Palace Vs Reading; it's 'Family Day.' Only a couple of thousand left though so you'll need to be quick. You'll also need a ST holder reference to buy them over the phone - happy to provide mine by PM to anyone who wants to go along.


Palace are playing some fantastic football at the mo - the entry fee alone covers the joy of seeing Wilf Zaha tears strips out of whichever poor left back he's up against.

Well done to all concerned in the recent game between Doncaster and Middlesborough, nice displays of humanity and sensitivity all round. Take heed Tevez, Billy Sharp lost a son and still insisted on playing, at ?250,000 a week, do you think you might consider it?

Credit where credit is due. After a dire first half the Hammers put in a bit of a masterclass of quality football. I took my daughters and both ended the game on their seats singing and applauding. Well done BFS, you did well.


On another note and another thread I have to mention Gary Speed. I was truly stunned and saddened to hear of his death this lunchtime, tragic.

      Taxes

      It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.

      In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂

      It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
