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.

    • 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 
    • 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.
