Yes well done Leeds! keep it up


Ian Porterfield managed Sheffield United for a couple of seasons, tkaing them up 2 divisions. Then when it did not look like he was going to get them promoted instantly to the top level in one season the Board sacked him....Who'd be a manager?!

What is this man on? (?) One minute its melons, the next omelettes....


"The style of how we play is very important. But it is omelettes and eggs. No eggs - no omelettes! It depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have class one, two or class three eggs and some are more expensive than others and some give you better omelettes. So when the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there, you have a problem."


Jose Mourinho is desperate for Chelsea to scramble a win from somewhere. ::o


This is eggs-actly why I think this bloke is a prize wally! :-S

I laughed during the pre season when all of those silly reporters were once again pulling predictions out of their backsides.

One prediction in particulaar was the "Spurs will finish above Arsenal" line.


I am an Arsenal fan and I quite like Martin Jol but you could also see that Spurs didn't have the necessary players in midfield or defence for the so called experts to come out with such unfounded rubbish.


It is easier when you make up your own mind instead of listening to reporters who really hink Rio Ferdinand is a world class player (he couldn't lace Thuram's boots).

I agree with you Fonson and I'm a Spurs fan. Certainly with all the injuries we had at the beginnning of the season it was always going to be tough for Spurs to make a good start and all the speculation in the press added even more pressure onto Martin Jol. Then the board go and shoot themselves in the foot with their approach to Seville's Juande Ramos and it doesn't look good for Jol's future prospects and adds more pressure onto his shoulders. But, we had a poor start last season too and were in the same position we were this time last year and still ended up fifth.

As for Ferdinand. I've mentioned it before on this thread he's got to be the most over rated centre-half in recent memory. He makes far too many mistakes. Once Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King are back to full fitness I think they'll be some real healthy competition for his place in England's back four.

Jah Lush, I have watched England on a regular basis since about 1978 when I was 9 years young and it is always the press who seem to pick the England team. People wonder why we didn't qualify for the world cups in '74 and '78.......I know why....We had people like Mick Channon and Mick Mills playing for us whilst others had the likes of Gerd Muller, Johann Cruijff and Michel Platini playing for them. Ferdinand will sadly keep his place.

The press complain about Mclaren but it is they who demanded an English manager and we bloody well got one!!

Yes Gerrard and Lampard should work but it doesn't, be bold and drop Lamps!


We complain about too many foreign players in the pemier league but they have raised our standards. This is probably the best bunch of English players I have known in my time.


How can we expect the great Wenger to buy British when people are asking 30 Million for the likes of Rio.

Look at the Ashley Cole situation....We sell him to Chelsea and get 5 Million plus Gallas and clichey ( a better player) gets his chance.


Do you remember our old FA head of coaching....."Brazil have got it all wrong"......Let's crack on and get it wrong like them.


God help us!!

Agree that Rio will keep his place. I know I may be a biased Liverpool fan, but Rio should have lost his place to a much more reliable (if not quite as "exciting" Carragher! Woodgate is a great player, but can't stay fit, King may have the same curse as Carragher in that he's viewed as versatile, so will never stamp a claim on his obvious best position... He is a good player though, and oh how spurs have missed him!


RE Lamps, yes yes yes drop him!


And a quick word for poor Heskey, I would have LOVED him to have kept his place above Rooney just for one game! Rooney needs to be dropped once, then he might get over himself, get his head down, and be the player we could be if he wasn't such a knob!

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
