Im just watching a prog called When English Teams Ruled Europe. Virtually every player in the Forest, Villa and Liverpool teams were born in the British isles. I have no issue with any team now being successful in Europe, but they're English based with English fans. Certainly in no way are they "English" teams.......however on the flip side, since the 80's, when England were awful, our players/National Team is better. Not quite sure how English/British teams were more successful in that decade, than the last 40 years. Bit of a conundrum.

Leeds win at Derby last night restored a bit of faith in me especially after recent results where we seem to struggle against the lower placed teams in the Championship.  Going into the game with suspensions and injuries I doubted we'd get a result even though we did the double over Derby this season but I was pleasantly surprised at how we played and of course winning was the main thing.  No doubt Derby fans were upset regarding the penalty issue but thankfully we were saved by the linesman and quite rightly, not that I'm biased of course  ;).  Hopefully we can get a result on Wednesday and then in the biggie ,the play off final, then we'll be back where we belong in The Premiership, or so I am told.

Oops   :P  ;D   :-* Sorry old bean, seems we had other ideas  :) By all accounts it was a good game and for us a really good result. Not that it will matter much in the long run because Villa have beaten us 7 - 0 on aggregate this season so I'm not expecting much from the Wembley game  Still as someone once said "it's a funny old game"

Believe u me, I didn't find it funny on Wednesday at all, was proper f****d off.   I'm not a religious in the slightest but I thought to myself, some f***** up there hates us.

Well i was right ,thought Villa would be too good for Derby.It was a good game listened to it on the wireless,Villa seemed stronger and Derby left the fight back too late.All this speculation about Lampard and Chelsea i find a bit strange,he has yet to really prove himself a really good manager(imho)..time will tell.

I dislike the play offs immensely. Its not a fair way to organise promotion. It becomes a lottery and the third best team over the course of a season isnt promoted by virtue..

Thats football. We lost Woy Hodgson to England after having a genuinely exciting team at West Brom. It went pear shaped after that.

Slightly off topic. Ive seen some fantastic goal keeping in this Womens world cup but a complete lack of blood and thunder slide tackles. Is it outlawed? It certainly makes for a more freeflowing game.
