Newly promoted and comfortably safe with 4 games to go. A shiny brand new(ish)stadium got for a song, which along with next season's new TV deal, means increased revenue to invest in the squad. Ok, looks like your stuck with BFS, but you can't have everything...

They only played 18 games, that's less than half a season. I see Dundee were shite even then :)

You'd think Arsenal fans would get used to it by now...poor little loves http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2314622/Crystal-Palace-winger-Wilfried-Zaha-believed-Arsenal-destination-Manchester-United-arrived.html

Applying your average Gooner's 'logic'...RVP was a mercenary as soon as Arsenal bought him from Holland. Why did he leave Holland? To win medals, play at a higher level, and earn more money...2 out of 3 obviously wasn't good enough :)

I'll 'ave some of that! ETA: switched off italics...

A couple of goals that won't be considered for MoTD Goal of the Season as they were outside the Premier League, but still goodies nonetheless... oh, it's that man RVP again, genius...

Deutsch Fu?ball ?ber alles...

A couple of Goal of the Season contenders, any others?...

Yesterday I went and had a look at a couple of localish alternatives to the now defunct ED garden centre, both worth a visit... West Dulwich... http://www.alleynpark.co.uk/ and North Dulwich... http://www.dulwichpots.co.uk/dulwichpots/dulwich-garden-centre/ Obviously there's Plantnation on Upland Road, but does anyone else have any other local recommendations?...

I'm devastated, I'll have to take him out of my Fantasy team...

*sits on hands...*

Bayern's win didn't surprise me, just the manner and margin of it. As good as Bayern look, I have a hunch the winner of the competition will come from tonight's match, should be another cracker...

Blimey, didn't see that coming, Barca whipped in Teutonic stylee...

Would love us to return the favour Jah. Fergie seems quite keen to try and get the points record, so I think he will put out a decent team including RVP, just to rub their noses in it :)...

Week 30 results. Only 4 weeks left and it looks like the league is imitating real life...a runaway leader and a battle royal for 4th spot as RC puts on the burners, must be all those Empanadas he's scoffing...is it too little too late for Mx?... SC - 3 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 12 pts Mx - 2 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 11 pts RC - 5 Correct Results + 2 Correct Score = 11 pts RD - 4 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 10 pts DR - 2 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 8 pts JL - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts LG - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts OT - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts PD - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts AM - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts EP - 6 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 6 pts MM - 6 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 6 pts ?? - 1 Correct Result + 1 Correct Score = 4 pts

Why thank you Mr Mac, I think I'm going to enjoy the next few weeks or so... http://img.uksoccershop.com/28385.jpg ''In these situations, when you have to make a hard decision in your life, I always listen to that little boy inside me.
