It was the new airport. I did fly in to Kai Tak a few times though. No alarms but each time was great fun. I managed to bag a window seat on the right hand side of the aeroplane a few times. Magic. |

Emirates, landing at Hong Kong during a storm. There was a screen showing the images from the forward camera. Screen was blank, plane was bouncing around all over the place. Suddenly the runway lights appeared-really close. Plane then lands with a tremendous thud. The runway lights swing to the right, then to the left. Reverse thrust like nothing I have ever heard before. Half the passengers throwing up. That was possibly the scariest 20 seconds of my life. |

I’d say this is a job for Taylor Wessing. I used them a few years ago. Although they are in EC4 they do not charge magic circle fees. |

The way he took his goal reminded me of Peter Crouch. Those one on ones are not as easy as he made it look. And the dummy for Smyth’s goal was Penrice-esque.
Kone looks like a really decent player. |

No. FIFA changed the rules after the Jules Rimet trophy was stolen in Brazil and not recovered. |

Well, that was incredible. Such a terrible first half. They did hang in there. Well done. |

Well, I didn’t see that coming. Well done all. Loved Agyenang’s finish. Very cool. |

Well, that was about the worst half of football I’ve ever seen. Bad shape, bad passing and just bad. Sweden must be laughing their heads off. |

It really feels like Hamlet without the Prince now. A full pre season lined up, players signed to new deals and released (but no new senior signings, please note).
But we still don’t know who the manager is? It it that French guy?
For the sake of all our blood pressures it would be good to know. |

I think he is now at the stage where any imposter syndrome has worn off. It looks to me like he is really hitting his straps now.
Good shout whoever said he could replace KDB at Man City. I think he could. Whether that would be a wise move for him is another matter.
I think Tottenham should break the bank to get him. And Glasner as well. |

Reply | Cifuentes placed on garden leave as reign that promised so much unravels

Well, we have said many times about players that if they don’t want to be here then they should be removed from the building.
We now have a situation where the manager doesn’t want to be in the building. Not exactly unprecedented, but the way the issue has come up is dreadful. Someone is playing Billy Big Boll*cks and it’s not clear who. This doesn’t reflect well on either Nourry or Cifuentes. And how can this be allowed to happen just when season tickets are being renewed. It’s asking a lot to collect several hundred pounds from people without saying who the manager (and,it seems, many of the players) is /are going to be.
I assume there is a list of possible replacements for Cifuentes. But if JT is on that list I will be spending more time in the garden. |

Agree on Glenn Roeder. I sat in the stand for the away game at Watford in the 1986 cup run. The entire Newcastle team were in the row behind me. GR was right behind me with John Bailey and Peter Beardsley on either side of him. All were up for a chat at half time. They cheered John Byrne’s goal as well. |

Super Ray Wilkins. Always gave us a good shout out when doing punditry on the much missed Football Italia. |

My uncle bought me a pint of Youngs Ordinary in that pub behind Selhurst Park. I would have been around 14.
Schooldays in Hammersmith meant it was mostly London Pride after that. |
