Jules is brilliant.
We had a good old session in The Salusbury, Boz, do you remember, seems like years ago now. I spend far more time in the bookshop than I do in the pub these days....! [Post edited 29 Nov 22:23]

Yeah, just finished it. Really enjoyed it, I liked it's low-budget near-monochrome that reflected the bleakness of the Donegal landscape and the people eking out their existence there. I also liked the fact it was in Irish, after a while I was able to tune into the cadences of their speech, if not the meaning. |

Indeed, Pad, but the point is not that he had to persist with him, it's how he handled it. |

So, despite the immense pressure and the rising tide of discontent from some sections of the Rangers fan base, Marti persists with Celar, backs him to score after that penalty miss, and is rewarded with last night's performance from him. That's how you handle it when the cupboard is bare. That's top management, right there. |

Sorry if this has been said already, but I ain't gonna read the whole thread to find out..
Arise Sir Ted, King of the Thread Starters. You have the eternal honour of LFW history, the night the champagne Celar was finally opened!*

The dire run of results has left us fearing every game, but let's face it: Cardiff are not Brazil. They are eminently beatable, it just requires each individual player to put in a minimum 7/10 performance, which, criminally, hasn't happened since Luton away.
Since it looks like Marti is going to stick with Celar until he finally scores, or hell freezes over - whichever comes first - it seems pointless to consider alternatives to him, so perhaps it's time to try two up front to start? Something like this:
Nardi
Dunne Cook Morrison Paal
Smith Varane Field Saito
Celar Lloyd
Yeah, I know, clutching at straws... but like I say, Cardiff aren't exactly a side to be feared. Let's put 'em on the back foot. [Post edited 27 Nov 11:41]

Seeing it appear on iplayer last night, I decided to start rewatching BBC's 2005 production of Bleak House that I enjoyed when it first aired.
Well, I think it's even better the second time around. For me, this has to be the best literary adaptation I have ever seen, and dare I say it, it actually enhances Dicken's novel with its fabulous evocation of 1830's London and brilliant casting. And the exceptional script and clever structure accentuate the fact that Bleak House is essentially a crime thriller.
But it's worth watching as a social history document alone, because you get a visceral sense of just how horrific the lives of many people were back then, living cheek-by-jowl with the sumptuous late-Georgian splendour of the rich.
I think it's so good, I suggest taking your time to fully absorb everything that's going on, because even the sets are worth lingering over - especially the incredible interiors. It's just feckin fantastic! A great series to lead you into Christmas. |

On the 1888-1915 series Ordnance Survey map you can see the outline of what would have been Shepherd's Bush FC's ground, boundaried on three sides by a school and the houses of Ellerslie and Loftus Roads - exactly as it is now - and the fields of Old Oak Farm to the North. South Africa Road didn't exist then. Shepherd's Bush FC were disbanded in 1915 and we moved in in 1917.
So clearly the answer is we need to change our name to Shepherd's Bush FC to appease the unhappy Life in the Bush of Ghosts. [Post edited 26 Nov 13:30]

I've just heard that Marti is at the training ground. Odd for someone who has apparently resigned. |

With no recognisable striker and only one relatively creative midfielder we'll be lucky to scrape a draw. The situation with so many key players still out looks dire. Our only strength lies in set-pieces, where Cook, Dunne and Field can be dangerous. Apart from that it has to be a backs-to-the-wall effort not to concede. Heart says 0-0, head says heartbreaking loss. |
