Yes, Congratulations to Man City. Makes a change anyway. As for me i now have to sweat on Chelsea losing the Champions League Final. Awkward realy as i dont want to support a foreign team over an English team BUT would be choked to miss out on the Champions League money next season as we have played good football MOST of the season.

Good Luck from ALL football fans.

Maybe its time we stopped buying the newspapers and got the news from tv or internet. That would stop them.

I think i'm right in saying that Roys record at Anfield was better than Dalglish's.

So Roy Hodgson has officialy been apppointed England Manager. Good Luck Roy, your gonna need it Edit.. Just listening to the press conference. The press are constantly asking questions about Harry Redknapp. Come on Press give the guy a chance !!!.

Spurs fan here. YES i'm happy. A change of manager would have meant another 3 year plan at White Hart Lane. We've had loads of those ( George Graham, Glenn Hoddle etc etc ) and invariably they get sacked after 2 years and it all starts again. As for Hodgson i think he will do as well as any England manager could do with the squad he will inherit. Lets not expect too much, and Arry wont be the hated one in a couple of years time once the press have got to him. ( assuming Hodgson gets the job of course )

The way we're playing Wolves deserve to overtake us.

No No, He's coming to Spurs. I'm sure he'd relish the challenge and we could see how good a coach he realy is.

Peronally i would go back to the old system. League winners into a Champions Cup, 2nd, 3rd & 4th in a Europa Cup and, Yes, Cup winners in a Cup Winners Cup. Maybe teams wouls take the FA cup serious again like they used to. Lets be fair the Champions League was formed to keep the 'Big' clubs quiet as they were hankering after a European league. And the extra games generate extra wealth via TV coverage and gate money ( wouldn't suit many of them to get knocked out in the 1st round ). If my memory serves me right, Sky were involved with the formation of the champions league. Still thats my opinion, Let the Champions of Europe be Champions in their own country and thats from a Spurs fan still hopeing ( stupidly ) that we'll finish 4th. Still if Chelsea win it 4th wont be good enough. Fancy being shafted twice in one season. Ouch

Which makes a mockery of calling it 'The CHAMPIONS League'.

Any one see Susanna Reid on BBC Breakfast this morning, wearing a tight blue dress. Wow a REAL woman. And the Sports news lady, Lucy ? looks good as well....I need a cold shower.

Your right being a ref is a horrible job at the moment. BUT we keep being told a ref can't give it if he didn't see it. SO why give a goal he couldn't possibly have seen. Still getting fed up with this subject now. It aint gonna change nothing ( come on Liverpool LOL, dont realy mean it )

Well that picture doesn't convince me the ball crossed the line. And the ref has admitted he got it wrong. Oh well move on to the next disaster.

No, a top team shouldn't fall apart, But who knows how the game would have gone IF Bales goal had been an equaliser. Spurs were probably the better team up to 'That' goal. As for technology, of course you couldn't have it at all levels, but in the top divisions bad decisions can cost a club a fortune. TV cameras are at all games down to league 2. Surely a minute or so for the ref to look at TV footage that is available isn't too much to ask. As mentioned in an earlier post, so what if a game goes on for another ten minutes, as long as the decisions are correct. Of course i'm bitter, i'm a Spurs fan, and we dont seem to be getting our fair share of luck. No doubt some will argue.

Been a bad day for me and referee decisions. Apart from the Chelsea non-goal ( who knows how the game would have gone ). At my boys football this morning, their opponents score from a free kick that no one knows why it was given then score a goal where the player was YARDS off side, Yet my boys team have a goal ruled out for offside when our player runs through and scores a good header. Game should have finished 3-3 instead of a 5-2 defeat. Still no chance of technolgy being introduced for Sunday Junior League football. I'm fed up.

Well they say things even out over a season. Well having a few goals ruled out for off-side that weren;t and now that 'goal' at Wembley Spurs will have to get a heck of a lot of luck in their remaining few league games.

And another here. Absolute farce. How could he possibly have seen it amongst all those bodies ? No where near it....Cheated again

True, but what a way to get it.

Just been checking on this thread as my 31 is still with Hornby and i'm getting lonely. Reading what you have had to do ' Throw away pcb and lights' is disgraceful. You paid good money for that loco and now through no fault of your own you have an inferior model.

With the risk that the heated debate on here getting the forum locked, may i offer my thoughts. Any club that is successful over a period of time will attract hatred. Man City will surely suffer it in the future when they have won the Premiership for the umpteenth time, which they must surely do given their resources. Chelsea had it for a while under Mourinhio when Abramovich bankrolled success. That has died down now as Abramovich is seen as ' A fool with his money'who's main joy is sacking managers. Liverpool copped it in the 80s, Leeds in the 70s, that may have been partly due to their style of play which was - If it moves kick it, in fact even if it doesn't move kick it. Arsenal got it in the 30s i believe when they won the league 3 or 4 times. Lucky Arsenal they were called as apparantley they won many games 1 nil with a late goal ( some things don't change then ). And its not only football. When Steve Davis entered the snooker world as a youngster everyone loved him. A few years later after he had won just about every tournament each year he was hated, Boring Davis he was known as. Then theres Phil Taylor of darts. The greatest player EVER without a doubt. But, boy, if he loses a game Hes Finished goes the cry ( they may wish ) IF only my team Spurs could be hated for a while, apart feom the obvious London rivals. That would mean we were successful ( fat chance, pigs may fly etc etc moan moan ) I would love it, just love it to coin a famous football phrase.

Here Here Mate. I've been following them for over 50 years and apart from the 60s and early 70s its always been a case of 2 steps forward then 2 back. I've said many times on here, theres an easy way and theres a Tottenham way. Even when we had good sides in the 80s we were always prone to a silly result against weak opposition. This last capitulation , i must admit, caught me by surprise. I actualy thought we would crack it this year. Oh silly silly me. Back to normal.

Bad decisions have blighted this season. Funny how it seems the 'Big' clubs seem to get them. No doubt some will dissagree.

You've done well so far, keep it going. On the track diagram, what size does each grid square equal ? Give us a clue to the overall size...Peter
