I find him a lot more likeable now he's in another job. Despite that berk HolteLegend I actually quite like Villa as a club so I hope he does a good job with them. I'd certainly rather he was lifting the FA Cup at the end of the season than Wenger, Rodgers or Van Gaal... even though we'd never hear the bloody end of it <laugh>


Anyway, not quite Wembley but I'm on my way to Bournemouth next weekend. Could hardly have hoped for a better time to go with how finely poised it is in the Championship, incredible to have 1 point between the top 5 at this stage of the season.

Good choice on Bournemouth - first time?
 
Nope. That's all I want to say on that subject right now <laugh>



Yeah, my brother lives down there so I've been to the town quite a lot but for some reason never thought of catching a game while I'm there before recently.

Fair enough - I'm in Poole so should probably try and catch some games myself!
 
They have an interesting right winger.Ryan I think is his name.Non stop player.Wonder if he could do a job on our right wing?
 
Blimey, it's now 13:15 and still ne news of Ian Holloway being sacked by Millwall. After yet another debacle yesterday, what on earth is holding them up ??

Poole have a very decent football team. If they could get their ground situation sorted out, then it would be interesting to see just how high the club could rise.

Like Poole. Worked for Siemens in the past and did some project work at times down there. Liked the town, down by the harbour. Used to book the hotel in Sandbanks when I was there, fantasise about the millionaire lifestyle. Only place I've been where I enjoyed just looking at houses.
 
There is some lovely property on what they call Millionaires Row in Sandbanks. It seems a bit ironic therefore, that one of their most famous residents, Harry Redknapp, actually loves in one of the ugliest houses along that stretch.

Real Madrid stayed in that hotel when they played a pre season game at Bournemouth last year.

Really. Has fantastic views, right on the water edge - in Winter you have the waves crashing into the side of the hotel. Always volunteered for the work down there.
 
That's the one, right next door to the chain ferry to Studland. Harry's house is about 3 doors down on the other side of the access to the ferry, the big brown house. Graeme Souness lives near the Sandbanks hotel as well and Tony Pulis has his house further round the harbour in Hamworthy.

Yeah Poole are a good side and should get promoted this season - I worked in the same office as the director of Poole Town for a while so was kept up-to-date on how they were getting on!

Reminds me when I stayed at the Caletta Palace Hotel in Gibraltar....in the summer.The sound of the sea crashing onto the rocks kept me awake every night!Had to keep going down to the late night bar for beers.Didn't make me sleep but gave me a rotten headache.Had to come home for a rest.
Cambridge United were staying there too prior to their game v a Gibraltar team.
