I'm not convinced Liverpool will be fighting for top spot, hope I'm wrong, but unless Torres strikes up an amazing partnership with Kuyt very quickly, it's just not going to happen.... Yet!


I think Man U will be better than last season, and will win again. I think it will be close between Liverpool and Chelsea for 2nd and third, and equally close between Spurs and Arsenal for 4th....


Man U

Liverpool

Chelsea

Arsenal...


Of course on the last day of the season we'll all be amazed that we lost out to Everton *shudder*, Villa and Blackburn for the champs league spots! :-S

Enough of this Premiership malarky.


We all know the real football is played in the lower divisions. As a Leeds fan (*stop laughing at the back*) I am very mcuh looking forward to watching the likes of Heath, Prutton and Beckford on away trips to Leyton Orient, Millwall and Southend. The skill, the passion, the blood, sweat and.....


....oh god just shoot me now and get it over with. I've had enough pain as a Leeds fan over the past five years without this crap!

Leeds United! Oh you poor man...you have my deepest sympathy. God! it must be tough. I have an ex-girlfriend who was a Leeds fan and it's very sad to see such a big club, although hated by so many in the Don Revie days, go into what would look like almost terminal decline.

>>Yes, that potential 15 point deficit is extremely harsh.<<


As a Sheffield United supporter I have always hated Leeds United with a deep passion, exceeded only that held for Sheffield W*dn*sd*y, but on the subject of this 15 point deduction I heartily agree - it is much too harsh. But the scale of the punishment was inevitable given that Leeds is a northern club - a London one would just have been given a derisioy fine of course...

Keef's CPT Allstars :-S


I always tend to forget about them and never make any changes, so doubt I'll do very well. The only one I get in to is the monthly chanel 4 game that a bunch of us have been doing for about 3 years now. Annoyngly the same bloke has won every yar, so we're all determined to beat him!

OK, I have joined as I had a team in a separate league anyway!


As for this coming season. It's Manure for the title, then Chelski, Liverpool and Arsenal in that order. That's a given almost. The more interesting competition is of course for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th!


Spurs will be there and I think they are the only definite. Man C have spent but this has been based on videos of players, for instance they bought Giovanni on the basis of a video of a game against Havant and Waterlooville or Bournemouth. Bolton will not be as triky as last year. Newcastle always under achieve and it will be fun to see them do the same this season.


Wet Sham? Maybe, maybe not. Blackburn - lets hope they cease to exist somehow this season. Boro? Going down I hope.


Everton will probably be there unless they get docked points for third party owenrship of Manuel Fernandes (A deal that even H Redknapp said he would not touch with a barge pole). Reading will fade away to nothing this season as will Fulham and the three that come up will go back down (probably by September!)


My bet for the 5-8 places are Tottenham, Everton, Portsmouth and Blackburn (sadly). This is the real competition in the premiership.


Anyone else care to speculate?


Oh yeah, and Southampton will get relegated from the Championship!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
