Call me Solly. Freelance journalist. Ilford boy now in Suffolk. Nature lover and volunteer. Spurs ST since 1982. COYS. Was once on #OnlyConnect.
One of our locals here in rural Suffolk is a 101yo former rear gunner in a Lancaster bomber. Lost half his ear but surpassed the 2 week life expectancy he'd been forecast. And he's the loveliest man too.

A friend was doing the PR for Holsten and hosted a group of their German execs at the game. They were amazed at the atmosphere and asked 'is it always like this?' If only.

You've beaten me to it...I was preparing something along the lines of Tom being the villain to pitch. Probably wouldn't have been a good though.

I'm pleased I wasn't the only one to think this.

That 4-1 win at Wembley, not just the result but the way we scored those goals though it's bitter sweet because after that game Klopp went and bought the players to win the league and UCL we didn't. Also, Barcelona away. Awful facilities for away fans, great atmosphere when we knew we were through.

It's quite obvious the princes were PR advised to like football (they're more naturally drawn to polo, rugby, killing animals etc) so they sat them down and told them to pick a Premier team. Being lazy, they simply picked the top two in alphabetical order. Harry = Arsenal, William = Villa.

Is the Five Towns any good. I was born there so I should give it a go.

I've got that record, had it for at least 40 years yet the strange thing is I don't remember buying it, borrowing it, stealing it or acquiring it in any other way. Very odd. Love it, of course.

The conservation volunteers Luke and I are associated with once found a big patch of cannabis plants hidden in the forest (but obviously not hidden well enough). I played 5-a-side with a lad who found a dead body and badger watchers once saw two men carrying a bodybag through the woods.

It's ours for the taking. As long as we don't get Plymouth in the next round. 😅

Levy doesn't have a clue, d'oh!

Featuring the great detective Hercule Porro?

We'll be ok. Maybe we'll win a trophy. I don't see why not when the later rounds should coincide with getting our best players back.

I remember Mido stuck in traffic in Loughton High Road and signing autographs for the local kids from his car window. It's said that when he joined Spurs he asked what cars they drove. Half said Ferraris, half said Bentleys. So he went out and bought one of each.
