Latvia

[Simster]

How many times are ITV commentators going to mention that Yeovil Town's Gary Johnson used to manage them and "laid the foundations for their recent success" despite actually being a completely shit manager for them and not particularly liked by the Latvian footballing public?

I reckon at least twice per match.

Twice? I assume you're not including either the build-up or post-match analysis then...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

they really dislike him in Latvia don't they?

Doesn't stop the newspapers and TV channels perpetuating the myth though does it?! Any tenuous link will do....

[eastlondonseagull]

Used to live in Forest Gate until a few months ago. Now temporaily in Ealing (yikes), but am buying a house in sunny Plumstead (SE). Very cheap! Still love the East best, though. Apart from the O's, of course.

Where's you?

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Doh! Dalston. It would help if I read your blurb on the left!

 

[London Calling]

So you want be watching the game up East then?

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Not sure what I'm doing Thursday fella, but your thread about meeting up in Upper Street sounds interesting. I'll let ya know. A posse of Albion does sound bloody good!
