Before we all go to our (other) families and friends, Happy New Year to you all, and the very best of health and happiness to you and to your families for 2026.
And thanks to all the LFW crew for bringing us and keeping us together.
Amongst my surprise and the shock/horror of others with Sam playing as a deep forward or attacking midfielder (alright no10 if you prefer), I paused and considered hasn't he played that or a very similar role before?
Didn't the bloke who has never managed in London, select him in a more forward attacking role?
Didn't he play in a similar role for Marti on occasions like the 4-0 Leeds win?
Been suffering from man flu since boxing day, so today will consist of going out in a wee while for a walk along the sea front to get some air into my lungs, a nice spicy take away ruby later, and early to bed.
Anyway, happy and healthy new year to you all and your loved ones
I seriously doubt we will. I think we will win one and lose one. But we have to play our best available team in both. No resting first choice players here please Julien ??
Probably was more confident at home to Leicester before the game.
Honestly his face and off mic words after their second goal probably summed up what we all felt. Poor lad has completely fallen into the QPR heaven and hell net.
I was driving along earlier, on my lawful and peaceful occasions, with the car radio tuned as always to the BBC Home Service. Suddenly another station came on. Something called Flex FM. I felt like driving the car into the Thames. What is this monstrosity ? Is it legal ?
Saving him for 2 home games or injured again? Still one of the best players in championship on his day, so if not injured, ridiculous decision to leave him out of squad.
Think the consensus is, not ready for this level and inclined to agree.
Horrible stats; 7 games, 2 wins, 5 defeats, goals for 10, goals against 20!
That said, I’d question how the manager is using him, he’s been flung into many games where, if anywhere in this league, there was a fair chance we could get a proper spanking.
We’ve got RND who looks the part, why play the young lad at Coventry, Boro, WBA, Ipswich?
He should be out on loan, hard to see what he’s gaining from this other than an inferiority complex.
I'm not against a state honouring those who either excel or act above and beyond the call of duty, but this snippet off the Beeb sums up my ire with it: '...Elsewhere, Adam Ingram, former Labour MP for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow, received a knighthood for parliamentary and political service...'
Now, I don't know the bloke or whether he did an exceptional job, but seeing as he left his post in 2007, it's taken 18 years to be recognised, and hasn't he got a knighthood for simply doing his job?
While you can say, 'Ahh, but Planet, his was an important job.', I'd contend the same would apply to thousands of people whose work carries great importance at local,national, and even international level, who don't get so much as a nod!
There is a nomination system but I think the issues are in the choosing process and near expectation that some folks 'must' be chosen.
We should have our own honourary system:
I nominate Danny Paddox to receive a 'Clive' for, 'skills in posting IT generated humour', and as we always award something for coming second, Brian Mc for, 'being Brian McCarthy and twice missing out on the Liam (if you know, you know).
