Terrific first half


I don't think Arsenal have played that badly - just Spurs have the vim and mentality to do this tonight


It's as if they have said "enough" and decided to ply without fear


Arsenal do have it in them to pull goals back in the second half - but I think it's Spurs night

Fair play to spurs, but what the feck was Adebayor on last night? It would be nice to see a Spurs Everton final, but I've a feeling Chavski will be the team facing Spurs and I hate to say it but I can see Chavski winning the final.


Nonetheless, well done Spurs.

Wembley, Wembley! We're the famous Tottenham Hotspur and we're going to Wembley.

Large Jack Daniel's and Coke please LadyGooner.


5-1 to the Tottenham, 5-1 to the Tottenham, 5-1 to the Tottenham, 5-1 to the Tottenham!

Just seen a posting by Spadetownboy re the Arse on another thread. I wasn't going to mention it but as he is clearly one of these Manc loving types (who isn't a manc, doesn't live in Manc chester and so on and so on), it was good to see just how wonderful they are as they were beaten by a team in that home of elite football, Saudi Arabia. Reminded me of the time they went swanning off to South America to take part in a nothing tournament, forsaking the FA cup, only have their collective arses kicked. In the first round. Yes they are truly wonderful. :))

Well no big surprises last night, Spurs will indeed meet Chelsea... I think they will be more heavily supported than ever before in that final!


In other news, Ferguson actually sticking up for Rafa... well sort of. He's bloody right though! (it pains me so much to say that)

Agreed on both counts Keef


Only thing that mars Fergies argument is the way Man U behave - pulling out of the FA Cup? Or going to Saudi to effectively support state-sponsered apartheid (no women allowed watch the game a few days ago)


You know... if he is going to talk about CLASS

Oh! Thanks Tillie...Pity the Lions aren't doing so well but there you go. See you Friday hopefully.


I think Ferguson fully deserves his knighthood in recognition for his achievements in football. You got to admit it really is an amazing record. Only Bob Paisley comes close.


Certainly, playing in Saudi is distasteful and opting out of the FA Cup a few years back weren't such good ideas but I would put that down to the suit and tie Johns at the club wanting to expand the brand.


Still, filled with confidence after Spurs marvellous win against the Arsenal in the week I can't see why we can't go up to Old Trafford on Sunday and beat them on their own turf. We were unlucky there at the beginning of the season losing to a superb goal from Nani, a real bolt from the blue from 30 yards out that Robinson had no chance with.

    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
    • The swifts & bats are alive & well around Upland Road. A beautiful sight & sound in the evenings. Just be sure to leave plenty of water out for them, as they are at high risk of dehydration & struggle to take flight at ground level.
    • Loads in upland road last night…
    • We saw quite a few yesterday evening  while sitting in the garden (Ulverscroft Road) (plus a bird of prey which hopefully wasn't after the swifts). The life of a swift is absolutely amazing, as is the distance they travel in a lifetime! I googled it last night!
