Here we go again


Aston Villa 2 v 2 Portsmouth

Chelsea 3 v 1 Sunderland

Everton 2 v 1 Fulham

Man. United 5 v 0 Derby

Newcastle 1 v 1 Birmingham

Reading 2 v 1 Liverpool

Middlesbrough 1 v 2 Arsenal

Bolton 3 v 3 Wigan

Tottenham 2 v 3 Man. City

Blackburn 3 v 2 West Ham

I kind of knew that, just a small wind up. I despise Robin Van Persie and all he stands for.>:D<


Ledley King made a comeback for the reserves the other night and I'm hoping he'll be fit for selection by the weekend but I've heard that one before and just hope he doesn't break down again as Spurs have completely forgotten how to defend since he's been out injured. We should win away at Anderlect tonight although a 1-1 draw which is what I'm expecting should seal us qualification for the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup.


As for the weekend's fixtures:-


Aston Villa 1 Portsmouth 1

Chelsea 3 Sunderland 0

Everton 2 Fulham 1

Man Utd 4 Derby 0

Newcastle 2 Birmingham 1

Reading 1 Liverpool 2

Middlesbrough 0 Arsenal 2

Blackburn 2 West Ham 1

Bolton 1 Wigan Athletic 1

Tottenham 2 Man City 1

Arsenal do have players to come back, but credit where it's due, Newcastle were good value for their draw last night. At one point in the second half, Arsenal couldn't keep the ball and the passing was all over the shop. Nice to see Joey Barton hasn't let fame change him... :-S That was one blatant body check!


I can't stand "Big Sam", but the fight shown by Smith, Taylor and Martins made me want to see them do okay. I thought it was one of the best matches (for a neutral) I've seen this season.


Aaaanyway


Aston Villa 2 Portsmouth 1

Chelsea 2 Sunderland 0

Everton 2 Fulham 0

Man Utd 2 Derby 1 (this will probably be a massive beating, but I'm just thinking that Jewell might toughen Derby up a bit)

Newcastle 2 Birmingham 1

Reading 1 Liverpool 2

Middlesbrough 1 Arsenal 2

Blackburn 2 West Ham 2

Bolton 1 Wigan Athletic 1

Tottenham 2 Man City 1

Spurs defence did a wonderful impression of the Keystone Kops last night for the Anderlecht goal.

I know, dreadful wasn't it. We want our Ledley back. I predicted the correct score though.

Listening to the Liverpool match on he radio, and they're scathing about Rafa's team selection, tactics, and substitutions.


Fair enough they ot a dodgy penalty, but still it's typical Liverpool throwing away points in matches we should be winning. This is why we are never real contenders. Makes me so angry! :X

watching the game and the reactions Keef it seems clear that Rafa is prioritising Tuesday's game.... which makes it easy to have a pop at him about not wanting the league enough


20 mins left is plenty time for a big team to turn around 2 goals IMO - he will definitely not be Mr Popular on 5Live

Rafa has shown today that Tuesday's game was far more important than today's. He's not soft though and there are two sides to this. Agreed we have a squad strong enough to play on all fronts, BUT tuesday is a must win game. We can't afford to drop any points in the Prem, particularly at Reading. I'm sure though that if you had a choice (and be honest Keef), you can win one game or the other. Which would you chose?


There have been some seriously dodgy decisions made this evening. Reading's "penalty" was not a pen. If that were the case, why was Carra' not booked. We had two pen shouts and both were waived off. That tackle on Vorononin was shocking and we should have had a free kick. All things that in my opinion would have influenced the game. I'd put money on the fact that if Reading had had a free kick rather than a pen, we'd have won comfortably.


That said, we should have won - end of.

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
