Here's a little something for Man ure loving spadetownboy lifted from the sports section of thelondonpaper.


"Sir smart Alick Fergusmoan took his Man Ure players to Saudi Arabia for a friendly this week. Asked how they felt about playing against representatives of a repressive totalitarian regime reviled by millions, the Saudi Arabian players said you've got to take each game as it comes!!!"


WELL PLAYED

Just got back from the Arse, a good second half display saw off the toon. 2 Great goals from bad boy Adebayor, a huge performance from Clichy who is now firm candidate for best left back in the world, Eduardo looks different class.


Toon were very good in the first 15 minutes but after that they fizzled out. Somebody should take Alan Smith to one side and teach him the offside rule, and at the same time give him a half decent haircut.


The shock of the day was seeing Havant and Waterlooville holding Pool to a 2 - 2 draw at half time. I would love to have been a fly on the wall as Rafa gave his team talk during the break.

The Havant & Waterlooville half time score line reaffirmed my belief in the dear old FA cup. But it also made me realise that the prima donnas of the premier league probably play for the love of money rather than the love of the game. Having said that I would be the first to admit the football stop being a sport and became a business at about the same time that shirt sponoring was introduced, which is a heck of a while ago.

Shirt sponsorship is a sore point - what is it? 5-10 mil a season or something - which is the cost of a squad player.


Screw it - how cool would it be if one club just said "we are classier than that - let's just wear club colours and be done with it"


That club isn't going to be` Arsenal unfortunately, but the first club to do so will have a place in my heart forever

Barca don't have a sponsor on their shirts. They do however publicise Unicef and sponsor the charity by way of donations and wearing the logo on their strip. Gotta respect them for that (tu)


Re' the Liverpool FA cup game - wtf were we playing at? Only listened to the match and am waiting for MOTD, but jeeze!!! Can do without that kind of stress for 45 mins. Hopefully they'll pull their socks up before next Saturday when I spend six hours round trip on a train for 90 mins of football.


Was great to hear the H&W fan joining in with YNWA. :)) It's what the FA cup is all about!

Is it me or is the run up for a penalty as practiced by Man ures one trick pony (he's not the real) Ronaldo against the laws of football. I thought you weren't allowed to stop during your run up. But then we are talking about a penalty taken at Old Stratford, and as all visiting teams know, different rules apply here, so as not to upset Fergusmoan.

Congrats Simon, and yes, we all love comedy goals!


Nothing about it in the rules Atila http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/laws_of_the_game_0708_10565.pdf

And I may not like him any more than you do, but 25 goals already this season does rather speak for itself.


Here's to his move to Madrid this summer!

Apparently he does not stop he merely delays movement. So you can drastically alter the pace of your run-up as long as you do not stop entirely.


What a load of bo**ocks. Whatever happened to the Shearer/Unsworth/Pearce style penalty of running up and blasting it as hard as humanly possible.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
