Good fun but often lethal.

There were plenty of Ukrainian flags flying in the UK three and a half years ago,didn’t seem to be much fuss either.

Platform 2 at Fenchurch Street is my choice.

Of our experienced players that left at the end of last season I only know of Cresswell getting a job ( Stoke ). Any news on what the likes of Fabianski, Coufal and Ings are up to?

To me he seems competent and can deliver a nice ball. It’s a good start let’s hope it builds from here.

Who today has posted something that makes Potter out to be a genius? Some posters have pointed out that Potter seems to have selected an eleven, with accompanying tactics, that they have long advocated. Fair play to them. The actual big difference today though was twofold, firstly not conceding and ...

In the  Fulham game I don’t blame var I blame the ref for not standing by his original viewing and letting the goal stand. There were more than one or two over robust challenges  in the game prior to that King disallowed goal but because those challenges did not precede goals Stockley Park did not b...

Tuchel calls Bowen into England squad, probably Saka being injured helps his cause.

Mourinho is clearly going to be replacing a fellow Portuguese manager somewhere.

Anyone care to guess?

I won’t give an opinion as to who is better but it really is a mad world where people pay hundreds of pounds to indulge in a mass singalong of tunes, much of them thirty years old, that are derivative of music from thirty years prior.

In the sixties for me Moore was head and shoulders above all others he had no peers. The only foreigner I saw play who ranked highly for me was Eusebio. In the seventies, looking back, the best WHU player overall was Brooking by a country mile. As for foreigners two stood out to me firstly Cruyff an...

The Urchins.

No use changing the manager without improving the squad. The reality is that it’s not good players being mismanaged it’s more like not very good players struggling to cope. The game, as played in the Prem in the last few years, has moved on but we have as a club not moved on with it. This really bec...

After four consecutive wins from the start of this season Hornchurch FC sit atop National league South.

I notice that Will Still has restored Downes to Soton’s midfield. This match also had two other erstwhile hammers, where Cresswell seems to be Mark Robbins’ regular left back choice for Stoke and Mubama, who got a second yellow ( simulation in the penalty box ) has already a couple of league goals t...

I notice that Arsenal have elbowed a small feeder club out of the way in order to capture the services of Eze from Palace.

This bloke is our hope for boxing in reality. As long as he has credible opponents at better stages of their careers than Whyte.

Without Itauma the gullible will be fed fights like Fury /Joshua, two blokes with nowhere to go or these match ups like Tommy Fury against a YouTuber.
 

I watched a clip of his fight and the youngster overwhelmed Whyte who was wide open to decent, accurate fast punches. Did not learn much about Itauma but surely that bout was Whyte’s last big payday. Itauma needs to get in the ring with kiwi Parker for us to find out what he’s about. Not a lot to ga...

It’s our defending again nicht war?

Conceding two open play headed goals does not bode well.

To paraphrase Nutsin the meeting in Alaska looks to have been a great big nothing burger.

“Wonder how Lucy Connoly is feeling right now”?

Aggrieved?

The not guilty verdict just shows what contrary verdicts juries come up with. 

Having said that none of us have sat through the complete trial so we don’t know how compelling the defence argument was.

I was optimistic and expecting a win but now that Chris Sutton has forecast a WHU 2-0 victory I’m beginning to doubt.

Spurs took to the field last night with a starting eleven comprising just one Englishman. And he did not come up through their academy either.

The thing is, and it happens each season, is that predictions are made before the clubs have finished settling their squads for the ongoing campaign. It might be easier placing the top six because apart from the Isak issue clubs look to have finished their business. As for other finishing place pred...
