It's there to be won. We seem in charge of the game and Bolton don't have many ideas. But I have a feeling this ref will change his tune and give them a pen at some point.

It’s definitely not, there’s not enough Hermes warehouses fucking up the countryside 

I haven't been back in two years now. I heard they've blocked off Tankersley Lane, demolishing Rockingham (I used to play cricket there) and building another McDonalds?! 

I did have a funny surprise when I was last there regarding some new houses and an ex owl 

In contrast to my last walk, the air is heavy and foreboding this evening. Still, almost beer o'clock and looking forward to the game. Safe travels

I walk into work most Fridays and love the view from Parkwood over the city. 

 

 

I really miss the greenery, gardens and parks. What a great view of home

I love Seoul.....always schedule to go there mid-late September, got taken to Namsan Park when I was there last (2017)....that was great...only go for a couple of nights usually as part of a longer Asia visit....so not seen as much as I'd like other than bars and restaurants in Gangnam....

We have agents in most countries in Asia so the language isn't a problem....I do know the absolute basics and try to order food etc myself....

Seoul is one of those places that you can visit once and see all the tourist stuff in two days but If you have a local host then it gets interesting. You have to dig beneath the surface. Probably similar with Tokyo. Gangnam is alright.. I live 25mins from there but haven't been for years. Have you ever been taken to a baseball game? Pre covid it was a great evening out.

Is it better than YouTube Premium? I get YouTube Music included for around a tenner a month.

Yep, Seoul. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit this neck of the woods, truly beautiful. That must have been a fantastic work trip, did you cope with the language and food? Before Covid, I used to love weekends in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto but my Korean bank card never worked. Japan is a strange place haha

Took this from the same place in autumn

Same country?

Was thinking Seoul....if not.

By the way.....was in Tokyo in 2016 with work around this time....had a great time walking through a park near Kamenokobashi (sp?)......when the ground started to shake.....f'kin shit myself.....

It's not Hoyland Common by the way

Inspired by Epworth and before it gets too hot here, I went for a little walk during my lunch break. It will probably rain soon and these beautiful sights will vanish. 

Guess the city. 

Play your music now Wimbledon! Get in! That was worse than a trip to the dentists. Ffs more grey hairs. 

We've played some nice football but I'm not really enjoying this game. I think Iorfa looks a bit slow. Hopefully a quick goal after half time will spur us on. I missed the first 10 minutes because I forgot about the clocks changing.

Anyone else watched The Last Kingdom on Netflix? I have really enjoyed it.

Pictures of walk...hopefully 

Gorgeous photos. They make me homesick. 

No.1 Fulham or Brentford?  No.3, Morecambe?

Was Reach’s the one from North corner of the box at Lep end, if that makes sense? Sort or looped over the keeper? Think he scored a similar one against Leeds either the week before or week after. 

I think so. He scored some right goals for a season.. Then got lazy.

Stefanovic?

Aye could be, but thought it was earlier than that. I'm sure there was a player in tears on the pitch. The years seem to blend 

Ahhhh right. That rings a bell, god knows who I'm thinking of then.

Kinda on the lines of best fullbacks, I can't remember if I saw Roland play live. I've seen all the videos etc. I do have a vivid memory of... Dan Petrescu being pretty useful and, again this may be completely wrong, but didn't his work permit expire or something? My memory is of us giving a real ovation and him crying on the pitch.

There's been countless stories of a similar ilk, a couple you'd pass off as paying homage to a recently deceased bloke but the sheer amount of em shows he was like that, a warm courteous gentleman.

 

As you say, I have the love hate relationship cos of his sublime ability to destroy England batsmen at will

Warm and couteous absolutely. I'm sure there are countless stories about his escapades. He was probably an easy target for the tabloids because of it. Let's be honest a lot of us would cut a ball off to have lived the life he did in the way he did.
