[Serial_Apologist]

Many thanks, Alyn.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

Cheers Alyn - are we forecasting a West Ham win?

[Ian Thumwood]

Surely Alyn doesn't support the Hammers?

I think West Ham will have a hard task against Stoke this afternoon as Hughes' team will want to return to winning ways after being beaten twice by Saints in the week. We have a winnable match against Hull so I am hoping Southampton can remain secons this weekend. Off to watch Winchester City play Horndean my self. So here's a question for Calum. Can you name the two Winchester City players who went on to play for England?

The Ray Anderson track is the pick of today's JRR although I am also looking forward to the Herman and Jelly Roll tracks. I didn't know that Oliver Nelson had made an arrangement of "Peter and the wolf" - I've been listening to the Amazing Keystone Big Band's version of this recently. One of my friends plays baritone in this band.

[Tenor Freak]

There's only one way Hammers can travel: DOWN

[Flyposter]

Surely Alyn doesn't support the Hammers?

Off to watch Winchester City play Horndean my self. So here's a question for Calum. Can you name the two Winchester City players who went on to play for England?

Ok Ian, so what's the answer? I guess one must be the great Terry Paine, but I can't think of the other one.

By the way, I saw Jason Moran at a festival here last week. Brilliant, but a surreal experience, as he played a couple of Fats Waller numbers wearing a large model head of Fats!

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

would the other one be Ted Drake?

[Serial_Apologist]

You always knew when there was a match on at Stamford Bridge: the crowd roars could be heard a mile away and cars used to park around the neighbourhood nose to tail. My dad, a big Chelsea fan, used to take me down there regular; I'd be sandwiched between the gaberdeen macs. Later, after we moved east, Dad switched allegiances to Hammers. "Why Hammers, Dad?" I needed to know. "Nearest decent club to support" he replied, which to me was tantamount to desertion. In the 1970s Chelsea FC became a hotbed of support for the National Front. By which time I'd lost interest in footy.

[Quarky]

Well I ought to be an Arsenal supporter, as their training ground is very close to me.

But I am completely disillusioned with today's football scene. Run by big business for rich spectators, and populated mainly by foreign football stars.

The amateur game needs to breathe, and there needs to be improved routes for young homegrown talent to reach the top. Then we might have a decent England team. And then there might be a chance of bringing world cup to UK.

[Ian Thumwood]

Both Ted Drake and Terry Paine started their careers with Winchester City before moving on to Saints. Drake made his name with Arsenal and England before managing Chelsea in the 1950's.

Winchester beat Brockenhurst 7-1 yesterday but as I was at St. Marys watching Saints maintain the second position in the PL, I didn't get to watch the match.

I have never witnessed it myself, but there is apparently a match every October played under the shadow of St. Catherine's Hill where there is a football match played under the old Winchester College rules. These rules date back to the time when many universities had their own version of football and the game was no codified. The first FA rules were published in 1863 and it is surprising what a slim volume it is as there were only 13 rules at the time!
