CitizenEd, what's with the Spuds-u-like? That's not your style at all. You're begining to sound like Atila. As for the the "big two" it should be Big Four and you can include Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal in there. Berbatov will go eventually but I just hope we can hang onto him until the end of the season and maybe just maybe if we win some silverware he might stay but I rather doubt it as a player of his skill and stature needs to be playing in the Champions League. Fat chance of that with Spurs though I'm afraid.

Our defence is definitely what needs sorting though.

When i say the "Big Two" i mean the Rich clubs; Man utd and Chelsea. I agree with what you say- our defence does need sorting as well as our midfield but what i dont want to see is another 4 years down the line and we are still in exactly the same position. Especially if we are sacking yet another manager. In my opinion things started to go down hill when Keith Birkenshaw was forced out in '84. since then 14 managers? How many have Aresenal had in that time- 3?


I have tickets for the return at WHL.

Ah! Mr Burkinshaw, who's parting quip was "there used to be a football club over there." Sadly, he's just had to retire from Watford due to ill health in the family. A good man. A good footballing man too.


I'm hoping to go to both legs. My mate has two seasons tickets at White Hart Lane and I often go with him. We've been going there together since the 60s when we were just kids.

Nice One Cyril. The best left-back we've ever had bar none. I like Gareth Bale though but he's been used on the left side of midfield of late until he got injured of course.

I first went there in '68 against Newcastle or Southampton, can't remember which, bit of a blur after all these years but my hero was Jimmy Greaves, a goalscoring genius.

Yeah, that's right. Can I have my ball back now please Mister?


Huddlestone's a very good prospect. Needs to lose a few pounds. He has a good range of passing and can shoot with both feet as we saw in the recent Fulham match but to mention him in the same breath as Hoddle is a little premature methinks.

Jah, my earlier comment was simply a reference to the fact that I like Spurs. I hate the fact that as an Arsenal fan I'm suppoosed to hate them. I don't, never did and certainlly never will. I grew up on Liam Brady and Glen Hoddle, the two saints of North London. Love any team with high footballing credentials like the Spuds. So spuds-I-like.

I think Kitson is bang out of order. Much like Alex Ferguson was a few years back when Man Utd decided to play in some meaningless Cup competition abroad to sell more Man Utd shirts in South America.

The FA Cup is the oldest and most famous cup competition in the world. It has great history. The final is watched by a massive worldwide audience and yes there is still magic and glory in the old FA Cup.

"The FA Cup is the oldest and most famous cup competition in the world. It has great history. The final is watched by a massive worldwide auience and yes there is still magic and glory in the old FA Cup." I agree Jah. Shame that it's only ever won by one of the Big Four:


FA cup winners since 1996:


1995 *******

1996 Manchester United

1997 Chelsea

1998 Arsenal

1999 Manchester United

2000 Chelsea

2001 Liverpool

2002 Arsenal

2003 Arsenal

2004 Manchester United

2005 Arsenal

2006 Liverpool

2007 Chelsea


In 1995 the winners were not from the big four. Who was it?

despite all the hoo ha about foreigners, it's the "pragmatic" British managers who are as culpable as anyone else re: rather-stay-up-than-progress-in-the-cup business


And the first half of the Villa - Man U game is as bad as anything I have ever seen. And that includes the time I went to see Exeter play L orient....

    • 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.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
