I didn’t know that. Fwiw, I used to share a quiet, round-the-back local with George just off the Kings Road when he was on the white wine and sodas, I suppose it was five-six years ago now. Lovely feller. Regular as clock work, he was.
Terry Naylor as a postman! Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s reasonably happy with that. Just seems a travesty given everything he gave to the club. Quality geezer.
As for a former Launderer having a shop that turned into being about diving, oh the irony! Hell of a result for them last night, though. I’m actually rooting for Ranieri, I think he’s been treated dreadfully by all this Sven rumour-mongering.
In fact, I want Ranieri as England manager - Sven can take the bullion and shove it where Ulrika likes it.
Best practise barres further up the fretboard - it’s easier to press and get all the strings sounding. After some practise you’ll find a barre on the first fret becomes easier. Until then you could use the “cheat” F whereby you reach your thumb around to the bottom string, or just don’t bother playing the bottom string at all.
Okay, I’ll try that this evening. Thanks.
Onwards . . . I’m quite interested in seeing how the Rooskies play Henry and co this evening (having one eye on Saturday). Last week, Peter Reid decided to:
You can better odds elsewhere, but can someone explain to me why Galatasaray are at least 2/1 to win at Olympiakos (where Olympiakos are at best Evens) . . . is there something I’m not aware of at play ? I mean Group D is still wide open.
Well, Arsenal still has a chance in CL and I think they will make it. Haven’t got much hope of winning it though, unless we become wastly more efficient.
And stopping Henry is impossible, I thought Spurs fans knew that after last years goal. An headed assist, could have been 2, even when he was man-marked.
Everyone’s favourite player Tony Adams is now manager i for Wycombe.
Good to see channel Five have resurected It’s A Knockout. Strangely though, they have renamed it “UEFA Cup football from Bucharest”.
What an utter pantomime - I genuinely expected to see Stuart Hall cackling maniacally every time Steven Gerrard fell over. The equaliser came from both Hyppia and Biscan slipping, and Gerrard’s passback which stopped dead in a puddle thus becoming a perfect through ball was priceless.
Next time I labour on a puddley pitch on Pontcanna fields for my Sunday League team, I will take heart that professionals would look just as ridiculous as me.
Oh good, I get to brush up on my French as well as taking Spanish!
Two things:
In terms of results and tactics, I can’t work out why Champions League games (at least at this league stage of it) are as unpredictable as they are. Perhaps it’s because this league system might suit some mentalities (southern European) more than others (for example, the British teams who, one assumes, like a blood and guts ‘cup tie’). Ditto the mentality of those looking to punt, maybe ‘we’ think ‘cup tie’, and the teams are more points-in-the-bin types.
Actually, I have no idea and that’s the only straw floating past.
Second, none-the-wiser as to how to blunt the Grovellers, although Kiev certainly gave their all
I’m pretty much of the view that pushing a back four up just plays into the hands of their lightening ‘breakers’ - those acres between the 'keeper and the halfway line are made for the likes of Henry and Co. So that’s out.
What else ? Well, I think I’m going to flood the midfield in my Spurs team selection for Saturday.
<Spurs chat>
Here’s the plan, boys, and it’s 4 – 5 – 1-ish. Radical, but we’ve got to give something a go. Tin hats and best wishes go to:
Keller
Carr – Richards – Gardiner – Taricco
-------- Mabizela – King
Ricketts ----- Keane ----- Konchelshy
---------Zamora/Postiga
and may God bless all who sail in her . . .
p.s I think Pleat may go with something similar but he will, of course, have at least Anderton (in for Mabizela). If he plays Anderton and Poyet, it’ll be a cricket score.
Doherty for Gardiner if Gardiner’s hamstring hasn’t cleared up.
