...came over me during the second half. By the final whistle it had settled in, and I was happy to do anything to occupy my mind. So, I did something I hate, I assembled a flat pack piece of furniture for Mrs Boston. Though delighted, she realized I wasn't well and offered to cook this evening's dinner (Mrs B isn't usually one for domestic stuff) which I accepted. Once my carpentry project was done, I cleared the snow from the driveway, by shovel, again to keep myself busy. Then I decided to walk the dog, which I do every day, but having noticed the chilly temps and in an effort to lighten the mood, I decided it was perfect conditions to wear a scarf (penny drops), why I have loads of 'em, brought over to this country with me when I moved, they've been in the bottom of a drawer ever since. Upstairs I go, dig around and pull out a big wooly variety with a large club crest on it. Wrapping it around my neck with the badge on full display, off I went, even popping into the hardware store for a tub of putty as we're refurbishing windows taken from a historic building at the moment. Returning home, Mrs Boston said she'd never seen me wear a scarf in our 37 years of marriage, which got me thinking, when was the last time I'd worn club colours? Y'know, I'm pretty sure it was the Derby 5-1 fifty odd years ago, when I'd sported a white silk with blue trim.
Suspect 2026 will be a strange year. |  |

Really strange post here Boston because my day went something like that also.No tv for the first half (ice story related I feel) then when it came back we were 1 down then so predictably we gave up a second goal which was the end.I too walked the dog in artic conditions and yes the dog has snow boots and warm sweater but I had warm clothes and the beautiful old QPR blue and red edges ,white middle and older crest circa 1986 .
Dinner just cooked marinated chicken veggies and baked potatoe with Kerrygold of course.
Followed here shortly by Barrys tea and some Jacobs Elite then finish up Robin Hood on Netflix or MGM tv.
Its bad enough getting beaten last 2 games but the manner we lost is more frustrating we are blowing so many great chances to pull up the table .its the hope that breaks our spirit following QPR |  | | |

well , met mates at game, did the happy new year stuff, went to blue/white bar for beer, tasted awful, but plastic cup, not preferred choice so got on with it. someone needed to go to get train home so i went with him, as bored and the game was not lively. walking up SAR we heard a loud cheer, thought that has to be qpr scored, er no.
got home and felt rough, bit of a cold, caught end of game on sly plus, we lose 2-1 then spent a while on bog with the trots ( bad beer?) went to bed early and hoped for the best!! | | | |

I wouldn't and don't think folks should use the word 'dispondency' rather, 'realism'. Do that, and you're still happy overall.
Said it before, as have many others, our first objective always remains 50 points asap. After that, then its gravy. We're not quite ready to take this target as a given, but this season is a leap forwards.
Few of our newbies need to start pushing on, and Jules needs to put into practice the lessons I'm assuming he's learning, especially away from home.
We all agree the squads not balanced, and I'm still waiting to see how the 'development' of talent finally works out over the next 12-18 months.
Overall, think it's going in the right direction. I expect hiccups, but while the January TW isn't necessarily the best time to do business, I hope we can do some with an eye to next season and getting the pups some proper experience out on loan.
Chin up chaps! |  |

Their keeper could have assembled a flat pack yesterday too. | | | |

For the West Brom game, I spent most of the game preparing the floor (with primer first) and then mixing up and applying floor levelling compound in our utility room.
I even had a handle snap on the tub so some spilt onto the paving slabs outside and needed clearing up.
By all accounts, that was probably all more interesting than the game. |  | | |
