Yeah I was looking forward to Villa Man U, but ended up just chatting all the way through it as it totally failed to captivate.


I agree about the team selections, and hope Liverpool field a reasonably strong side, if not the first 11. Lets not forget uton were 3-1 up against us last year!

The Predictability of the beautiful game is so simplistic that i've lost my sense of vehemence towards the sport. However, yesterday was quite astonishing in terms of amount of giant-killings that took place, with four teams from the top-flight division being the victims of an unlikely defeat by lower-league opposition. Is this a pivotal sign of things to come?, hopefully yes as it'll be a radical change for the sport and therefore, will create more opportunities for the inadequate sides who will feel blessed at the prospect of finally making a name for themselves.

that Burnley game, huh?


cracking stuff - I almost wished they would score and win. A proper game a proper cup tie and miles more entertaining than any other game I've seen of late (then again I missed the Spurs - Reading goalfest despite being outside the ground haggling with touts)

Full draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup


Arsenal v Stoke City/Newcastle

Coventry v Walsall/Millwall

Oldham v Huddersfield Town

Swindon/ Barnet v Fulham/ Bristol Rovers

Wigan v Chelsea

Luton/Liverpool v Swansea/Havant & Waterlooville

Southend v Barnsley

Southampton v Norwich/Bury

Man Utd v Tottenham/Reading

Portsmouth v Plymouth

Derby/Sheff Wed v Preston

Watford vWolves

Peterboroughv Charlton/West Brom

Sheff Utdv West Ham/Man City

Mansfield v Middlesbrough

Tranmere/Hereford v Cardiff


We have to be happy with that assuming we can see off Luton... I guess Arsenal Vs Stoke/Newcastle, and Man U Vs Spurs/Reading are the ones that stick out, but nothing there looks particularly tastey...


That said, there is a possibility of Shef U Vs West Ham, and that could be a tastey one... They definitely have the recent history!

Yes, I'm over the proverbial moon about our away trip to Man Utd, but we've got to beat Reading away first in the replay...and if our defence continue to make stupid schoolboy errors and Paul Robinson continues to make silly cock-ups gifting the opposition goals then we haven't got a hope in hell.

I am sure Sheffield United v West Ham would be quite a spicy encounter - but suspect it will be Man City. That is another attractive prospect though and, having seen off the mighty Wanderers of Bolton, I feel sure Sven will be shaking in his hand-tooled boots at the propsect of visiting BDTBL*. I just hope it is televised live...

I agree with you 100%, but I just wondered what was going on. I think he and Cashley Hole are from the same mould.

That is utter contemptous bollocks. OK, I understand where you're coming from Mockney because of what he did on his last day at West Ham when they were relegated and he immediately asked for a transfer but he's matured since he's been at Spurs and he hasn't once complained about not being regular in the starting line-up, he's said on many occasions he doesn't want to leave and indeed wants to sign a new five year contract that was recently put on the table for him rather than go somewhere else. He loves Tottenham and doesn't want to leave and the fans love him too but unfortunately Juande Ramos has said he can go if he wants to. I think he's a reformed character and a model professional who would get into most Premier League sides starting line-up on a more regular basis than he does at Spurs. I want him to stay.

Martin O'Neill is a pretty good judge of character and must feel he'd be a very good addition to Aston Villa's squad. He's a natural goalscorer, which is what Villa need at the moment and five goals in his last seven games is a very good return from someone who spends most of the time benchwarming.

Jermain Defoe, he's a yiddo, Jermain Defoe, he's a yiddo.

Le Boss says that he is the best natural talent he's signed, and he's signed a few during his time with us. Shame about the crap attitude and his greedy brother/agent.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
