Nothing to do with their manager taking a back seat then?

 

Well they were pretty awful up until about two or three games ago, so I think he's managed to escape the flak once again.

 

Whose surprised?

 

If he's really been to the South Coast then Sandbanks and Poole Harbour is looking as glorious as ever.

EDIT: I remember as a kid that when the weekend came, Dad would ask Mum if she wanted a runout in the car, and she'd turn to us and ask where we wanted to go. Invariably I said Sandbanks. We usually went to Mudeford or the New Forest, but just once in a blue moon we went to Sandbanks [well, it was a bit of a stretch for a Ford Anglia]. There's no real wonder that it is the costliest place in GB, apart from London, to buy in. It's a bit good.

 

I miss all those places TSS. For five years I lived a few hundred yards from Mudeford in my twenties. Happy memories as a kid with days out in the Forest, Mudeford and Sandbanks and that bloody queue for the ferry! My favourite place from childhood days down that way is Key Haven, just passed Milford. Used to find the little bridge over the inlet of water magically mysterious.

 

Agree - Keyhaven is a lovely place in the summer. Love it there. Mudeford is gorgeous too.

Lovely area all round though

 

Don't know if you chaps remember being on a packed Mudeford beach in the summer, and looking to the east and seeing a deserted beach. Back then I wondered why that was. Of course, it was the privately owned part of Friar's Cliff beach which, back in the 1990's became available to the general public because the owner of the house and ground had donated it to the National Trust when he/she died. For one summer at least a girlfriend and I used to go there and it was rare to share the beach with more than half a dozen others.

Keyhaven is a lovely place. The odd thing for me is, even though it is on the mainland and accessible by vehicle, I've visited it easily much more by sail boat.

 

I'm delighted to see that his knee has recovered so well.

 

I live in glorious Poole (not Sandbanks unfortunately!), and can vouch for what a wonderful place it is. I'm a couple of miles from Bournemouth about 1/2 a mile from the beach, and there is nothing nicer than a walk to sandbanks and a coffee at 'Jazzy's' on a warm afternoon

When the weather is good , there really is no place I'd rather be

 

John Terry has shared his PFA voting sheet.

Not as daft as he looks.

 

Definitely tactical voting going on there with his pick for Player of the Year and some of his midfield choices but I don't care because he put Sadio Mané in his team of the year hahaha

 

Wonder if he can do joint up writting?

 

Wonder if he'll get in the pictures at the ceremony

 

Oh I'm so jealous. I loved my five years living in Bournemouth/Christchurch.

 

On Mudeford beach I was paying more attention to my feet, so as not to tread on those spiney fish!

 

Weaver fish?

 

That's them.

 

Nasty.

 

I was down on Hurst spit and Milford with work this week. Next week I'm working on Mudeford, Friars Cliff/Highcliffe and Poole Bay. All lovely, never come across any spiky fish though!
