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.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
