Don't know if anybody on here noticed , but the grass at Elland Rd today looked very long for a PL pitch , except the penalty boxes , that looked ok , the ball was ' dragging ' and losing speed 

Some coaches do indeed order certain requirements of the pitch, depending on opposition.  If it was deliberately done to stifle Man Utd,  didn't work, almost but not quite. Against Man City of course you'd have to let the grass grow 3 feet to affect them. 😃

Just back from France where we had one hell of a time, experienced the whole range of emotions associated with being a football supporter, before, perhaps predictably, being sent home "Tae think again

Let’s hope they blow the next couple of PL games as well…

great to see Neil Warnock back in football - a real character compared to the conveyer belt of foreign managers here today and gone tomorrow with a pot full of cash

So popular in the game, he's known as "Colin" - just the first word of the anagram, because I can't post the second. :kolobok_wink:

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

What's even more interesting is Bayern weren't even runners up in the league before Bundesliga. They had literally just won that one title in 1932 (I think?). 

I've been to see a few teams around Germany. My favourite country in the world after our great land and I've spent a lot of time travelling round it. I've got a friend who lives in Essen as well and he's a bit Schalke fan so I've had the opportunity to go see them a couple of times. 

Let me know if that book has got a big section on East German football and if it has, what the book is. East Geman history fascinates me and I've never read too much about its football. 

Have you read "the turning season"?

The author writes about and visits all of the clubs that participated in the last season of the the DDR Oberliga.

Fascinating stuff.

Fun day out at the "Continental" Pilot Field (formerly the TCS Security Pilot Field) to see Hastings move four points clear at the top of the table but Ashford have a game in hand and the two sides must meet again later in the season.

I must be the only person on North Tyneside when people I sort of know today ask if I'm watching the match and I reply ' Yes going to watch Castleford v St.Helens and then France v Scotland...look on the faces like I'm some sort of Alien.

There might be some strange look on the faces of some on this forum for saying you watched France v Scotland.

BTW I wonder how many Thunder fans went to Fev today.

Feel sorry for Thunder, I always thought their emergence had a little bit to do with disaffection of fans at Ashley's NUFC,  who may now have quietly crept back into the fold.

Rugby Union has a hard time getting crowds for the Falcons despite having a strong history and loads of local clubs so Rugby League is going to a harder sell but the North East is Football mad and anything else is a poor 2nd and that goes for he lack of talent in Music compered to London, Liverpool and Manchester.

I envy places like Leeds, Hull, Leicester etc

This must be a first; BOTH BBC and ITV have live FA Cup matches on BOTH Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tuesday, Fulham vs Leeds and Bristol City vs Manchester City 

Wednesday,  Sheffield United vs Tottenham and Manchester United vs West Ham.

People knock the FA Cup as a devalued comp, but presumably both broadcasters feel there's sufficient audience interest to make it worthwhile going head to head.

Yep, some great games last night and I've chosen Southampton v Grimsby as my viewing tonight! Bring on lots of inflatable haddocks!

I'm not continuing with this game any longer but on a serious note, if they do draw Man City, I hope they knock them off their perch.
