This was so good I can't believe people then tried to better it, especially those who tried to embelish it .... a clear piece of genius and shoulfd win hands down.
I write a lot of these (non football - for other reasons) and that was just excellent. |

Senny Dieng and Anfernee Dijksteel from Boro, have both scored more goals for QPR than Zan Celar .... A record they could both retain for a long time to come based on the evidence of last night's latest non-contribution from Celar!
And please don't tell me he's our only fit striker ... he's clearly not a striker is he? Trades Description Act case perhaps? |

My big gripe has been that Dozell is so ineffective that we are effectively playing with 10 men ... results so much better without him. |

.... seeing a teenage me on the footage celebrating that David Webb goal brings back some memories. In those days Match of the Day was far more important than these Premiershite, Celebrity Soccer, Big Brand days of Gary Waneker and Alan Shiterer.
I think for about a week after that game people were coming up to me and saying they saw me on Match of the Day. Of course, being on TV means very little these days, but back then, with only three channels and less disposable income, it was far more influential and watched. |

If you fancy virtual racing, try RGT. We at Westerley CC (West London club) run virtual races on Wednesday evenings on RGT and attract riders from all over the world.
It's two or three Wednesdays a month. Check our website for details.

Anyone in West London looking for a cycling club:
We do Sunday morning rides from the Polish War Memorial and organise a load of online races (you need a smart trainer or power meter). We usually run a lot of Time Trials and the Hilingdon 10s but they've been cancelled this year due to COVID.
Anyone interested in Audaxing, we are doing a 200km from Ruislip on 1st August.

Reply | Kane - a real weak link
at 09:13 28 Nov 2019
Strange how we see things differently.....I was at home watching this on TV (I am a season ticket holder but was ill). On the way home from games I speak to people who sit elsewhere in the ground and we (sometimes) sound as though we have been at different games!
I think Kane gets away with it because he's relatively anonymous a lot of the time, particularly as he has an aversion to taking on opposition players, but he gets remembered for the odd good cross.
Manning was actually quite productive but spoiled it with bad crosses and shots. In fact at half time the Sky commentary team described the whole first half as 'The Ryan Manning show', intimating that he was the best player on the pitch. I think he wasn't as good in the second half, but what it says to me is that if you try and fail, people notice the failure, but do nothing and there are no negatives.
But look at Forest goals 1,2 and 3, Kane is a weak link. |

Thread | Kane - a real weak link
at 08:11 28 Nov 2019
I am quite surprised how little criticism Kane gets...I think he's one of our main problems. Most of the time, when going forward, as soon as an opposition player is in front of him he passes backwards....this is one reason I think that our passing from the back doesn't work (along with the fact that all of our opponents have worked out that if you flood the space between our defence and midfield then we don't have any options and don't know what to do with the ball).
In fairness, once or twice in a game Kane gets a head of speed and whacks in a good cross, but these moments are far outweighed by the negatives.
Kane was at fault in three of the Forest goals, he didn't challenge for the first; slightly impeded? Yes, but defenders need to be tougher than that. He gave the winger too much space for the cross in goal two, and was standing watching as Forest players queued up for number four (not the only guilty party to be fair).
The morale is sapping out of the team and we have lost any momentum going forward because we have been found out when passing from the back. Having a wing back that is shy of taking on opposition players and can't position and challenge particularly well when defending is a liability in my view. |

Yeni a good attacking option? Seriously?
It's like playing with 10 men when Ngbakoto is on, he appears to have very little positional sense whatsoever. He took a good free kick on Saturday and had a half decent shot that just missed last night but, apart from that, I don't want to see him in our team at all I'm afraid. |

I would actually prefer the Friday as I can't go on the Saturday!
Got all excited when I was told it had been changed, will be a bit of a blow to find out that it hasn't! |
