  1. Marco Silva is available again ☺ I think he will be aiming higher now though.
  2. I thought they were just turning the corner with the Russian manager when he was dismissed.
  3. There is a great live performance of Unchained Melody on You Tube by the Righteous Brothers also. I like this thread. It is a lot less contentious than the Political or expansion threads ☺
  4. Yes I have played it a lot since also. The musicianship is excellent as well as the actual performance. I like Firth of Fifth and Dusk by Genesis also.
  5. There was a good programme on BBC 4 tonight with Danny Baker introducing rare performance from the 70s. Genesis, The Who and Viv Stanshel were enjoyable for me.
  6. I read that. It is a pity because they showed spirit on Saturday with the late equaliser. Previously they had been losing late goals. I think he deserved a bit more time. I think replacing Marco Silva was always going to be difficult though.
  7. Who are you supporting Robin? Hibs winning at the moment
  8. I remember now thanks. Yes, they have a good Portuguese manager and look like they may be promoted this season.
  9. Yes you are correct Bob. I had forgotten them. Like Bristol City they had a good fan base so that when they were in division 4 they were getting the highest crowds. Even when City were bottom they were by far the best supported team.
  10. Bristol City went from first to fourth between 1978 and 1982. They were actually at the bottom of the fourth for a few games but revived under Terry Cooper. I remember watching them in 1983 the year they won promotion from the fourth again. Hull have a long way to go yet.
  11. I just saw the you tube video of them making the finals, it was great to watch. Delighted they made it. It makes it more incredible that they qualified instead of the USA and that Canada didn't even make the play offs.
  12. I saw that result too. I saw Andorra play Portugal on Sky last year and they were very aggressive and physical. The Sweden winner in injury time from the half way line was a great goal.
  13. It all changed with the Sunderland game - a win there would have put real pressure on Swansea but instead the opposite happened.
  14. It was exacerbated by Swansea winning too. I watched Hartlepool v Doncaster game - it was an exciting finish.
  15. Yes that was bizarre. I didn't realise it had been finished until I read your post. Edit: I saw it on tv. It was good natured. There was even an elderly man being pushed in a wheelchair on the pitch.
  16. Yes it was a very anxious last 15 minutes ☺ It was a good day for me as Bournemouth are safe and Torquay stayed up also.
  17. If I'd have known Leeds would lose I might have done ?
  18. Is anyone watching the Manchester derby? Bit scrappy so far.
  19. You have one certainty, Chelsea, and two odds on teams, Doncaster and Sheffield utd. Doncaster are still 1/4 best price so you are still comfortable there. Maybe an option would be laying some of the bet off if the other 3 get to the finals of their respective competitions? All 3 of your sides will be favourites. I agree with Bob that you can wait one more round with the European competitions. I saw Anderlecht beat Apoel Nicosia and I don't think they will trouble Manchester United. At this stage Barcelona are the most likeliest to go down first and yet they are 5/9 to progress. Good luck. Keep telling us your thoughts please.
  20. It was a great win for Leicester tonight. Especially against Liverpool.
  21. They had a good result tonight - it could have been a lot worse. It will still be extremely difficult but I think the aim tonight was to make sure the tie was still in the balance for the second leg.
  22. I saw the Fulham highlights on Saturday. They are playing great foitball. Johansen looks a class player.
  23. He has made a successful impact already. They looked confident again on Saturday with organisation and pace. They have some difficult games now so be interesting to see how they progress.
  24. They have made a good appointment with Marco Silva I think. If they back him in the transfer window then it will be interesting. At least they have tried something different stay up. They were just in freefall with apathy from support ers.
  25. I read earlier about Mick Taylor. I think his best guitar playing was on "Time waits for no one". It has a Santana style.
