My son, although an ardent gooner, goes to the Cottage a lot. Our neighbour is a season ticket holder who also has connections with the company that is responsible for security at the ground. He loves it there, he thinks its quaint compared to other grounds in the league.

Looks like Robson is staying - at least until the end of the season, possibly with a new first team coach. Kudos to Kevin McCabe for not wilting under pressure from a loud minority of fans and and following the usual Chairman's scapegoat route of sacking manager after manager...There is now talk amongst the disgruntled ones of boycotting Sunday's game. I really hope they do - they tried this with the Manchester City game, which may have resulted in a smaller attendence but did mean the people there were right behind the team, who naturally played a blinder. The dressing room is clearly still behind Robson, and I'd neither wish nor expect him to be sacked as long as this remains the case.


I just cannot understand the mentality of "supporters" who boycott games for this sort of reason.....nose....spite...cut off...etc

Man Utd 1 v Arsenal 2: Brave, brave man Atila predicting a victory at Old Trafford. How long since united have lost two on the bounce there? Still, I bloody hope you're right. Even if Utd win, we'll still be top. Noticed that United are only the second richest club in the world. Think they'll have to get used to being second, eh!

I think the real Ronaldo is well past his best bless him, as are many of the AC players. I think we shouldn't fear them, just play the way we've been playing and that should be more than good enough to win. As for Man Ure our record at Old Stratford is a good 'un. It might not be pretty but that might suit giggsy wiggsy ( apologies to Ron Manager), because he says they've got to start winning ugly. Well with Neville, Tevez, Vidic, Ferdinand, and others they're hardly likely to a the best looking side in the Premiership competition are they!!

I don't think it's fair to accuse Wenger of that, quids. He has won the thing several times and if he didn't care about the competition, then he wouldn't really be humiliated would he?


His team selection was more to do with injuries than the upcoming CL game (although that's bound to play a part)


But yes, Citizen, the shame.. the mortification


I watched part of the Chelsea v Huddersfield game before and Huddersfield put up much stronger opposition. I thought Utd were on fire and don't want to take anything from them but we looked clueless.. absolutely clueless


Ah well....

My default position is generally to want Man Utd to lose, but it soon beame clear that there was only one team providing entertainment on the pitch, and only one team that seemed to want anything out of the game.


I'd much rather have seen a proper match out of the game, but hats off to utd, they played a blinder, even wes Brown seemed to be good. Plus handbags, comedy dives, bad tackles, cards akimbo and a sending off. Couldn't really have asked for much more out of a good old cup tie.

Haven't been on the forum this weekend, but yes, Liverpool deserve little sympathy, except to say that they were up against a keeper having the game of his life, but no excuses, we should have stuck the ball away at least a couple of times. Good luck to Barnsley, lets hope they go on to knock out Man U or Chelsea next :-S


I do think that if we fail to beat Inter, Rafa may be walking.


As for Arsenal, it was just weird, I couldn't believe I was watching the team 5 points clear at the top of the league, that have been playing such good footy. They just didn't turn up, and can have no complaints.

Ah, I was yanking your chain to a degree. I'm undecided over Blackwell tbh. That play-off season was great although we barely won a match in the final two months meaning we went from automatic promotion to barely scraping the play-offs. Watford played us off the park at Wembley. Next season the team were awful although rumours persist that he was never given any money and told Bates the team were shit to which he was basically told "tough luck - deal with it".


Bloody Donny! That's what happens in Div 3 - no undersoil heating in all these "little" teams. You'll be fine this season. I'm now having doubts about our promotion chances. Yet another season down here will be hard to stomach. Still, it's great to have the Mac back. Hope he can do the business.

Considering some of the past 'entertaining' posts I've read in here I'm surprised at how gloaten free this thread is after such a grudge match. Personally I'm biased towards London clubs but I can't complain about the result in this case. Shame as a closer match would've been more entertaining.

      By Desmond Lewis · Posted

      Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Jasonlondon · Posted

      Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Monkey · Posted

      Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
