>>And let us not forget the great Brian Deane!! <<


How could I have overlooked him?! three times a blade!


Now then..."Colin"....rearrange the letters of "Neil Warnock" into another two word name, the forename of which is Colin?? As there are (reputedly? B)) ladies who read this thread then a nod should be as good as a wa- wink right?


The nickname was first coined by his enemies but was then taken over by his fans and even the Great Man himself!

Big win for Bristol City, just got a call from my friend who had come up to London for it, saying "mate are there any pubs with beer gardens in Victoria?" I told him I don't really know the area very well, only for him to say "what do you mean, it's London!" >:D<


Surprise surprise, Warnock is blaming the ref... He did a bit of a Wengeresque victim complex thing too, saying that a Bristol player should have been sent off (I haven't seen it, so maybe he should have been), but that if it was one of his players, they would have been sent off... I agree he might be good for a laugh in the Prem, but I really hope they get slaughtered in the second leg!


Come on City!

Now, I don't know if I can post without getting flamed by my new gooner friend, but I've just heard that Riisse (spelling) is also done deal to PFC alongside Crouch - the pair for ?17m - this is from a pretty damn reliable source.


Also, Eiuder Gudjonsen has signed for Pompey at ?3m (not so reliable source as this one also told me that Egurt Magnunsson was buying pompey at ?170m


Anyway - though LFC fans may be a little interested.

Apparently John Arne Riise threw his toys out of the pram when Rafa told him to find a new club. He's been a good player for us, but I don't think he'll be the one to take us to the next level.


Sad to see Crouch go though, but he's just not getting enough games. Remember how everyone slated Rafa for buying him?


I heard that a certain D Villa might be heading our way though. Fingers crossed......

Jeez, I know. Was at the Spurs, Liverpool game and couldn't believe it every time the score line came up. At one point all the Kopites (I was sat with the home lot) went nuts and started singing about Heskey. Someone must have told them that Wigan had equalised. No such luck. :(


Quite enjoyed the lane. Torres almost scored in the second half and I was ready to leap out of my seat, forgetting where I was. That's the first time I've been relieved that a Liverpool shot was saved. :-$

Now watched it all on MOTD - the Torres goal was just sublime...oozed pure class. I fear for Man City next season though under their new owner....and Fulham again pull off a great escape. Who knew having Hugh Grant in the crowd could be so inspirational? :))


*Sulk Mode* 38 points would have got Sheffield United 15th place this season *end sulk mode* :))

I called it back in early April...hurrah! Well done Roy Hodgson and Fulham.

Man Utd have been the best team this season by a mile and played the best football so well done to them for winning the Premiership.

Good to see the high level of consistency in refereeing continued yesterday at Wigan. Scholes managing to stay on the pitch and (shock horror) Man Ure not having a penalty awarded against them when Ferdinand clearly moved his body and arm towards the ball and made contact with said ball. As for Man Ures shout for a pen, well ginger shouldn't have been on the pitch anyway, so maybe mr Bennett thought he'd even things up.


Fulham was the best performance yesterday and I'm mightily pleased for them. I won't miss Brum in the slightest. Was this divine retribution for what one of their cart horses, passing for a journeyman player, did to poor old Eduardo. What goes around.........;-)

I think both those decisions would have been a bit harsh but it wouldn't have been suprising to see either given. Scholes knows he can't tackle (so does everyone else) but it would have been a harsh sending off. Rio hit the ball with his shoulder, that's not handball but I'm sure you will disagree. Who do you think you'll get in the qualifying rounds of the Champs League next season?

Come on now, we all now the second offence was a cynical and blatant block, for which he should have walked. As for not being able to tackle, that isn't an excuse. If he can't tackle, he shouldn't bother trying. As for who we'll get in the CMPL I'm not fussed. I think we are more than capable of beating anybody, and I'm confident we'll improve on the season that's just ended. The best goals of the day were at Boro, there were at least 4 crackers.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't meaning that he can't tackle was an excuse just that even I wince when he goes into a challenge and ask 'Why?'. It may have been cynical (not much in the game isn't these days!) but not sure if it would have been fair for him to be sent off. Let's hope that next year all the teams are as good as they were this season and it's close again. Except Liverpool ;-)

I find it somewhat irksome that so many so-called experts on TV & in the Press have gone on about what a super, exciting competition the Premier League is. It isn't. It is a depressing 4 horse race (like the Scottish PL has been for years with the 2 Glasgow giants slugging it out), plus a competition for 5th, plus another for the next few places. We all know the four teams who will finish in next season's top four already...


And did anyone notice Avram Grant's ludicrous claim that the top 2 should play off for the Premier Championship if they finished level on points as to decide the champions by goal difference would be "tragic"?! :)) This is almost as good as Ferguson's "rule" his team are allowed to handle the ball in the area when playing against any one of the 16 clubs who are there simply to make up the numbers...


Spot the difference: Manchester United & The Harlem Globetrotters :))

I largely agree with you there Simon and I think Kevin Keegan was right in what he said last week that you would have to spend ?150 million to get yourself into the top four. Spurs have been tipped to get there over the past few seasons and probably will be again if we spend big this year but I can't see it myself. The best I can hope for next season is finishing 5th and winning the UEFA Cup and maybe a domestic trophy like the Carling Cup again or the FA Cup.

By a mile, that'll be two points more than Chavski and 4 more than us, and they lost 5 games whereas Chavski and The Arsenal only lost 3. Country mile? Hardly. Best footbal? Again, hardly especially over the last 4 weeks in the league. Given the amount they have spent, which is something many Man Ure fans accuse us of steering clear of, I'd expect a lot better.


Going off at a tangent here a little, but I see the so called experts and Chavski players and management claim that the number of injuries have effected their chances this season. Really? What about us? Van persie, Adebayor, Rosicky, Almunia, Flamini, Eduardo, Sagna, Eboue, Hleb, Cesc, all have been out for periods during the season, admittedly some longer than others but talk about missing the bleedin' obvious!!!

We've not spent ?150 million and Arsenal haven't even got close to that figure. Agreed that you have to spend to be competitive, but the money that United and Chelsea throw at players is ridiculous.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
