    Well done to Rotherham tonight. I saw the first, very entertaining 2-2 game on tv and was looking forward to tonight's instalment, but SWMBO decided it was her turn for the remote tonight!

    On another note.....what odds Moyes back to Goodison now the "Bung-Taker" is on the dole???

    I've posted a tribute in the other section but it's probably apt  to mention here the sad news that Ray Wilson MBE passed away on Wednesday last week.

    All change I see, have'nt been on for ages, as I have been living in the caravan for over a year, sold our house in Nottingham and bought a property with my daughter and partner and will soon be living in our little annexe  next to our grandson. Have gone from living by Nottingham Forest who seem to be sorting themselves out after the disaster of previous owner, and now living by Burton Albion. Have renewed season tickets at Forest and looking forward to new campaign.

    Was not really looking forward to World Cup,  I did not have the usual excitement, but my how that has changed, good look to the boys

    So  good  to  see  you  posting  again,  Pauline  laughing  !  It's  almost  time  for  the  Annual  'How's  My  Team  Going  to  Do'  party  now.  Strange  isn't  it  that  we  all  wish  each  other  the  very  best  results  until  they  play  Our  Teams   embarassed.  At  least  I  won't  have  too  much  to  worry  about,  down  in  the  depths  of League  2  ( or  Fourth  Division  as  I  remember  it wink ).  After  the  World  Cup  winds  up,  I  just  hope  &  pray  that  the  only  news  about  footy  is  on  the  sports { back }  pages  and  nowhere  else  !

    Take  care,  and  have  fun  .

    B

    Just happened to notice a pre season result: Accy Stan 3-0 Huddersfield (of Premiership fame)

    Good result, but a little way behind Everton's 22-0 win against an Austrian team (they probably forgot to take their skis off!)

    The Stanley result was a wake up call which has fallen on deaf ears.

    Having beaten Bury 4-0 in their first friendly the Terriers have gone steadily down hill. They've played  3 45 minute games in something called the Interwetten Cup finishing fourth out of four. They did manage a 1-1 draw with Darmstadt in a full length game before leaving Germany.

    We'll see what the new signings are like it's our one and only home friendly tomorrow evening against Olympique Lyonnaise the GS and I will be there it's becoming a bit of a tradition.

    That's more like it. 3-1 to the Terriers against a side already qualified for the group stages of the Champions League. Mind you they should have been 4 up at half time.

    First game of the season away to Birmingham and can’t be happy with 71% of the possession and only come away with a draw.

    Me? Well, a welcome to Division One football with a 0-2 defeat against Gillingham

    My GS was talking about cutting up his season ticket because Town have sold his favourite player to Nottingham Forest. 

    Good luck to Michael Hefele at his new team, he'll always be remembered for scoring a last minute winner against Leeds and the equaliser against Villa with his backside 👏👏⚽️⚽️

    Don't be embarrassed Brian I'm always mis-reading things.

    We are both looking forward to the new season starting tomorrow. Chelski at home in front of a full house at the JSS what's not to like especially if we can replicate the result that we had at the Bridge last season.

    Herr Wagner has issued his usual rallying cry to supporters that he expects us to provide the same atmosphere "from the first whistle " 

    We've made some interest signings this window the latest has just given an interview in French with sub-titles.

    So, today's headlines state the MUFC board have backed Mourinho. A sure sign he'll be sacked very soon?

    Having played last year's champions and the current champions for our first two games and been put firmly in our place we've got Cardiff at home tomorrow.

    Hoping for a good match and three points.

    Whilst away in Devon last week we went to watch Tiverton Town, really enjoyed the match and watching a team at  the top of its division. The gate was 203 ( it would have been a round 200 without us!)

    A goal difference of +5 is the stuff that only dreams are made of, Town currently have -9 after only two matches

    Great game at The Molineux today. Could have gone either way right up to the last kick.

    A few years since I was last there, in fact I'm pretty sure Derek Dougan was playing.

    I was very young at the time of course......🤔

    This refereeing lark is really confusing. Here's the situation. Cardiff player and our player put their heads together in the box, Cardiff player goes down like he's been pole axed. Play is on the halfway line and the ref is up with play so he has clearly not seen anything . The linesman ( I can't bring myself to call him assistant referee because he doesn't assist anybody ) doesn't see anything because he doesn't flag. The referee cottons on that something is happening in our penalty area because he stops play and trots back to sort things out. Finally he strolls across to the touch line to consult his "assistant " who remember hasn't flagged for a foul, but is obviously keen to assist, the referee then books the Cardiff player , red cards our player and gives us a free kick!

    if anyone can explain that I'd be grateful.

    In answer to the question posed by the title- not very well.

    Lost again last evening the only light relief was the world class own goal scored by one of our new players.

    I  think  they  must  have  opened  a  'Coiled  Spring  Manufactury'  or  something  round  here  !!

    Best  team  in  the  County  Palatine  at  present. 

    But  will  they  be   in  that  position  when  I  return  from  Scotland  in  three  weeks  time  ??undecided

     

    Don't  forget,  Folks,  it's  early  days  yet  sealed !!
