Cardiff last season? At least we got a point today. [Post edited 6 Apr 0:16]

I’ll always recognise spirit and commitment and Colback, Smyth, Paal and Edwards showed it in spades today, even if the football was ugly. |

I complained to my son in the first half about the lack of understanding between Yang, Lloyd and Paal on the left in the first half and compared it with the inroads Smyth was making on the right. Fair play to Paal for the energy he showed in the second half, the run he made to reach Edwards’ (?) ball right at the corner flag late on was exceptional. |

Agreed, Cardiff looked a decent half-team, solid in the back and centre midfield but toothless up front and very ropey in goal, those two late headers were better than any chance we made. At least not losing has got me in a glass half-full mood, and at least I won’t have to watch that game again. Thanks due to Colback, Paal, Morrison, Edwards and Smyth - though I’m sorry he didn’t cut it back to Andersen on his lovely first half break, I can understand why. [Post edited 5 Apr 19:40]

He looked lost for the first 20 minutes he was on today, but he was starting to get it going from inside right by the end. He wants to play more in the centre rather than the wing and he was getting it there more at the end to create a couple of scruffy chances. I’d play him before Andersen next time.

The civil war is amazing to read about now. The Royal Navy fighting the Reds on the Caspian Sea with guns sent overland from Basra to be mounted on paddle steamers, the Czech Legion joyriding across Asia on the Trans Siberian Railway, and White armies running out of men, food and weapons but never cocaine in the middle of Siberia. Supply chains are miraculous things. |

Definitely read it. He’s a good writer and the post war Tokyo setting is fantastic, my problem is by the time you read his fifth, it’s very familiar. |

I initially lapped them up, and a couple of the Tokyo books too, but though I think he’s very good at time and place, he doesn’t have that much to say. He’s essentially written the same book six or seven times (and James Ellroy has written it first, also many times). |

There used to be two Bayer-supported clubs. Hard times meant Bayer Uerdingen got the chop in 1995, becoming KFC Uerdingen despite no connection with the Colonel. Dropped out of the Bundesliga for the final time the next season and now play at the fourth level in a 35,000 seat stadium, a sad predicament for the FOUR-time Intertoto Cup champions. |
