Once again, the Arse turn over the Spuds ( a top 4 side......well they think, they are) Never mind, there's always next season, or the season after, or the season after that, or...............................

very good PeckhamGateCrasher - I like that...


on a more serious note, I'm glad we got the 3 points yesterday but we were poor and a supposedly weakened Spurs team defended much much better than they have so far this season... in short, we were lucky. And that's ok, teams vying for the title need luck sometimes

I heard the dicussions on Sky yesterday and apparently it wasn't just a guess - the Arsenal team had discussed Keane's penalty taking before the game and knew that Keane likes keepers to commit before kicking the ball - that's why Almunia stayed up for so long and chose correctly


That said the penalty wasn't up to his usual standard and could easily have gone past Almunia had it been better

Not the same as saying we were second best for 90 minutes is it? And we're still top of the league. Something Spuds will not experience for many moons. Two class goals from a class team. >:D<

Equally most penalty takers will tell they will pick a spot and go for it. You seem to be implying that a goal keepers skill is in some way inferior to that of a penalty taker. As someone who still plays( or tries to at 50 years of age), and has a son who can play as an outfield player or in goal, I can assure you that it is not. As a penalty taker you have to outwit the keeper by scoring. Keane failed to to do so. That is not being smug, but a plain and simple fact.

I thought Spurs performance was pretty good. We defended very well with a makeshift defence. First half was quite dull and fought out in the midfield but I thought for the first 20 minutes or so of the second half we were the better team. Berbatov's well taken goal from an acute angle was pure class. Still, Keane blew it for us by missing the penalty. We lost, the best team won. Simply really. Still bloody hurts though.

Atila I was just trying to spread some Christmas love!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
