I believe so …. before the last 2nd Round tie Brackley v Burton
Ps: the Mango Mussolini has done a cup draw before … the League Cup QF in the late 80s (early 90s?) When it was either Rumbelows or Littlewoods. On the Saint & Greavsie show. Absurd & surreal. Can’t be arsed to look for it but it’s out there.
Interesting stuff. So the theory is increasing the number of substitutes is actually leading to more injuries and the scapegoat for this will be the evening game. I still say 20 team leagues (with the occasional evening game) and shorter seasons are a good idea. If the football authorities want to fill the month free created with meaningless tournaments that increase the work load on a player. Thats not good but that’s up to them. I won’t be spending my money on them.
All this talk of 3 game weeks like it’s this new problem akin to time-wasting or bad officiating. I love evening games. Loftus Road under the lights midweek can be a magical place. I’ve got nothing against 20 team leagues but keep the midweek games. I guess that would mean a slightly shorter season - I’m okay with that too. And this theory that QPR can’t handle “3 game weeks”. We play shit disappointing football after a week off, after an international break, after a whole summer off. This 3GW talk is a masterpiece of red herring’s bollox.
Edit: I don’t know how a load of auto-corrected to a masterpiece ofbut I like it so it’s staying. Maybe it’s the correct collective noun for red-herring’s bollox
Diego is astounding. I was lucky enough to see a screening at BAFTA on Piccadilly. My expectations weren’t too high but from the off with the rare super 8 footage of Maradona travelling from Naples airport to the Stadium accompanied by a thumping Georgio Moroder soundtrack I was hello this is interesting. The man’s life had the highs, lows, and pathos of a Greek tragedy. I left the cinema that sunny afternoon and I wanted cocaine, prostitutes, and a football (preferably an Adidas Tango) to do some keepy-uppies. I settled for a couple of pints of pride in the Red Lion off Jermyn Street. The film was living in my head for days.
Unless injury is involved dropping Kolli for Frey is scandalous. Maybe he’s being saved for for the big one against Cray Valley Paper Mills on Tuesday night. Win lose or draw this irks me majorly.
Brilliant, let’s hope the song becomes well known and tricky Dicky (Kone) gets his form back.
The closest I got to a Kone song was chatting to a Bristol City fan in a pub during an international break just after we signed him. We were talking about squads and hopes for the season and all that and he says oh you’ve got Kone, I was hoping we’d get him. Almost immediately I replied in the voice of Phil Oakey of the Human League ..
We’ve got Richard Kone! We’ve got Richard Ko-oh-nay! You were playing as a forward in the homeless World Cup When I saw you
That’s about as far as it I got and like Fermat’s Last Theorem it remains unresolved.
Just to add - remains unresolved due to forgetfulness and distraction rather than death.
I was in Bethnal Green last year heading for Vicky Park so I decided to drop into a hostelry I’ve frequented a few times over the years, the Camel. I took a short cut down Sugar Loaf Walk but half-way down the alleyway something literally stopped me in my tracks. It was a museum I’d never seen before … The Vagina Museum. As it was a sunny afternoon and I already had plans I decided not to enter the Vagina Museum (stop laughing at the back) but moments later as my half-poured Guinness was settling on the bar at the Camel I said, all jovial like, to the girl pouring it, “considering you’re now a few yards along from the Vagina Museum you should rename the pub The Camel Toe.” Her response was neutral. I felt she wanted to cancel me but wasn’t quite sure what correctness I’d contravened.
ps: the Vagina Museum has now moved around the corner to Cambridge Heath Road. Seriously … Google “Vagina Museum East London” and as well as getting links for the West Ham United Hall of Fame & Club Shop you’ll see it’s legit.
Ah damn - I saw that typo and edited it - don’t know what happened there. Thanks again to all LFW proofreaders and their expert assistance with this rough first draft of a crossword 😇
