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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
