Maybe it needs to end in tears. For 11 years managers have failed because they haven't produced the Keegan style of play where you give away 3 goals and hope to score 4. If he does fail (and I'm not actually wishing that on them), maybe the fans will shut the f**k up for a while and accept they need a good manager to organise a good team.


Jose wasn't exactly playing the most exciting stuff at Chelsea, but it certainly worked! Wonder how the toon would feel if he was their manager.

I've asked all the people I know that have season tickets to do me a favour a get me a ticket, as a Red Member I can very rarely get tickets via the club website, and anyway my mates are far more reliable than our website. So far no joy, although I have been to your place for the last 4 seasons running thanks to generous buddies that have sold me tickets at face value. I still waiting but I'm realistic about someone wanting to give up their ticket for this match. A guy at work who is a Spurs fan claims that you will be fielding a weakened sqaud against Sunderland at the weekend in preparation for the visit of the Arse. If that's true it makes you wonder where Ramos' priorities lie.

Certainly not! much too long a walk from the tube! I did go last season when you were 2-0 up and we fought back to 2-2 - that was a good night!

Yes it's that time of the week again


Birmingham 1 v Chelsea 2

Blackburn 2 v Middlesbrough 0

Fulham 0 v Arsenal 2

Newcastle 2 v Bolton 1

Portsmouth 2 v Derby 0

Reading 1 v Man Utd 3

Tottenham 2 v Sunderland 1 (depending on which side Ramos puts out)

Man City 1 v West Ham 2

Wigan 0 v Everton 2

Liverpool 1 v Aston Villa 1

Not such a good night for me Ladygooner. I was there too. I'm be there next Tuesday and I'm certainly hoping for a better result this time round.

Atila, I can't believe Ramos will play a weakened side against Sunderland. I wouldn't have thought we have the strength in depth that the Arsenals, Man Utds and Chelseas have. But I guess he just might tweak it a little and say give Defoe start so he can give Keane a bit of a rest.

I see Diarra has gone out of his way to endear himself to Pompey fans, he is reported as saying that if a big club comes in for him while playing for pompey he will be off. There's nothing like loyalty to a club, and that's nothing like loyalty to a club. Good bloody riddance to yet another overinflated ego!!!!

Birmingham 0 Chelsea 1

Blackburn 2 Middlesbrough 1

Fulham 1 Arsenal 3

Newcastle 2 Bolton 0

Portsmouth 3 Derby 1

Reading 1 Man Utd 2

Tottenham 3 Sunderland 1

Man City 0 West Ham 1 (Revenge!!!)

Wigan 1 Everton 2 (Come on Wigan, we need a result from you)

Liverpool 2 Aston Villa 1 (This should be a good match, think Liverpool are due a good game at home to pick themselves up)

Given the amount poor mugs like me and hundreds of thousands of others pay week in week out, I think it gives us the right to voice our displeasure. I certainly wouldn't stoop to racial abuse, or personal abuse, but I have every right to comment on the performance, just as a theatre goer would. Footballers are paid huge amounts of money and supporters pay through the nose. So, yes I think I'm entitled to an opinion, and to jeer. After all, if I and all those who go through the turnstiles and subscribe to Sky decide enough is enough, these people would be screwed. Why should sportsman be different to everyone else?

I'd pretty much agree with atilla here with the addition of homophobic abuse. I intently dislike the fact that in football it is still tolerated in a way that racism is not. Ask Graeme Le Saux. My only worry is that football should be family-friendly - taking children (under 15s) to games should be encouraged but I'd be wary given the kind of abuse referees and players receive on a regular basis. And when it stretches into the personal (a la Mrs Beckham and her sexual preferences) I draw the line.


Family only stands don't always solve the problem, sound travels a long way. "Who's the wanker in the black" can often be heard on MOTD let alone in the neighbouring stand. I don't wish to sanitise football - it is at heart an earthy, manly, sometimes gutteral sport; but just sometimes I hang my head in shame at the language and opinions you hear on a terrace these days.

"just as a theatre goer would."

Do you really shout "you're rubbish, you couldn't act your way out of a paper bag" in the middle of a performance?

I've been known to shout "He's behind you..." every once in a while, but otherwise I'm not sure that the theatre equates with a game of footie.

Come on mockney, you know what I mean. As a paying punter you have a right to voice your displeasue. Of course a theatre goer wouldn't stand up and chant ( I don't know though). If you pay for something, no matter what it is, you have right to expect a certain standard of service, entertainment, whatever. If I go to a restaurant and get served food which isn't up to scratch, I voice my displeasure. I have booed a performance at the theatre before now, and have applauded loudly when I thought the performance was excellent . I work pretty hard for my dosh, unfortuantely, so I like getting my moneys worth.


It always makes me smile when I hear so called pundits expressing their displeasure at crowds booing or jeering players/teams. What makes them so special. We all work for the filthy lucre.

    • 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".
