So this is my grandson, Sam yesterday at one week old and my son Liam holding him. I went to pick Liam up to take him to that bastion of invincibility and we asked Sam if he fancied coming with us as of course it'd have been easy to sneak him in under our coats but he said he didn't fancy it and wanted to stay at home looking after his mum. He's got some sense, that kid.

Is that a Colne Dynamos shirt?:thumbsup:

Ooh, I do love my days out at Accy. :smile: I think we'll bring a decent amount of fans next Saturday, there was mad scramble for the 2300 tickets for yesterdays game at Rovrum, they sold out so fast that people started to panic thinking that they wouldn't be able to get into Accy either so plenty were bought in advance.

It's amazing, we have been so crap for so long that we only have to win 2 on the bounce to take 2300 away in the basement division and have people panicking that they won't be able see the Accrington Stanley game. ^_^


Did you go?http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/index.php/newsy/4923 Not a bad game, and a fair result i'd say! Beautiful weather too!!;)

Scotland are utter mince, we sooooo need to replace Levein, way too negative and plays the wrong players, makes subs at the wrong time and we need to get Steven Fletcher back in the squad. best Scottish striker by a country mile and he won't pick him as the two had a fallout over a Scotland friendly match,
 
0-0 was probably a fair reflection at Loftus Road today. I managed to get a reasonably good internet stream from home and picked up the action about 25 minutes into the first half given my parental duties :ohmy: . It looked as if Chelsea had the majority of the possession and the boy Hazard missed a sitter early on. We seem to be playing as more of a team already and whilst we have a long way to go, the reality is we have a brand new squad with very little of the previous backbone, just an entirely new squad. Park missed an absolute sitter too.

I thought we came out much stronger in the 2nd half and could be considered unlucky not to have gone ahead with all the pressure; we kept up the tempo and yet Chelsea finished the stronger with the late additions of Moses and Sturridge. Torres is ...erm...back on form.

Poor finishing at times and wrong split second decisions as when Zamora poached a poor back pass from Shake Hands Man - what irony that would have been! Park played well, I like Ryan Nelson a lot and Granero had a reasonably good game too. Let's put it this way, it was a better result than the last time we met...

Some very positive stuff being written about how we played today, especially the combination of Granero and Faurlin, and I think having Cesar at the back gives the back four confidence to play a bit more. Fingers crossed on the injuries. On the face of it not a bad result, but we could do with 3 points.
 
Anton Ferdinand is a tit.

This just goes to show double standard, when Suarez refused to shake evra's hand he was condemed by the whole nation and both Dalglish and Suarez were forced to apologise, yet i don't see anyone condeming Ferdinand.
For a start, the FA are agenda-driven, cowardly incompetents and for a second, although the general media pays lip-service to this fact it'll go along with an FA agenda if it fit's it's own. Take it from there...

Seem to me at least a little unlikely that Ferdinand views the court's decision as definitive. Seems to me at least that he at least still believes (having been there) that Terry racially abused him - whatever the court said - and that he for one is not willing to shake hands with a racist. Which seems, to me at least, quite reasonable. He may still be a tit, for all I know. I don't know him.

For what it's worth I could've written that myself and to be honest, I don't have the energy or will to go into how I feel this whole incident compared/contrasted to how the Evra Suarez stuff was reported/handled.
