Houston is not a city I would go to out of choice. There is very little character to it with everything looking like it was built in the last 30 years (which I suppose it has!). I go there for business quite a bit, but stay out of town as thats where our offices are. Traffic is awful with...
For this to work it needs funding from either the government or from Europe. If it were funded privately no-one would be interested as the payback would be 30years+. If this line was in some other 'developing' countries in Europe it would be banked rolled by EU money whether it was needed or not.
New away kit looks very similar to Referee's kit from the back, especially with the stripes on the side of the shorts. I can see quite a few refs not allowing us to wear that kit.
Spent 10 mins watching a member of staff try to make a cappuccino whilst 20 people waited a the bar to be served lager and beer that takes seconds to pour. I've never witnessed chocolate being dusted over a mug of cheap coffee take so long. That sums the place up nicely.
Also witnessed two...
I think making the ITS logo blue and white on a blue and white shirt ain't the brightest move by the ITS marketing department!
At least the skint logo stood out a bit.
Imagine Baz Savage playing right back = Peter Smith.
1 moment of pure genius (charging down the right flank somehow taking it past 3 or 4 players) for every 9 moments of footballing hell.
Adams has said he wants to play with two wingers, so we will need at least 3 decent players to cover for injury and suspension plus keep everyone fighting for a place in the starting line-up.
I think the vetrans game before may be used as a scouting oppertunity for Lloyd and Adams the way things are going!
But I do think the signing of Currie will be one of the best of the summer if he can get fit and be given the time and space to do his stuff by having a decent midfield around...
If this Murray thing is true...
I don't understand why someone who has signed a contact for 2 or 3 years for probably a wage more than most of us on this board earn can't sort himself out with a half decent house down here. There are plenty to rent, the vast majourity without a rat infestation.
Cork and Booker were seen with Adams in the Sportsman bar the day he rejoined the Albion. No real surprise if they come back, but I would prefer some new faces to liven things up in the back room staff.
Expect our token French (ex Metz) bloke to sign this year. Barry Lloyd will come up trumps with some mystrey Eastern European play maker who will take League 1 by storm and we will sell him to Spurs for a £1 million in the Jan tranfer window.
