It is scary that Man U and Arsenal both have very young players in their squads! I genuinely think Chelsea's time at the top won't last long, and they'll be dropping down the table in the next few years...


Liverpool are the eternal 3rd/4th team, and I just hope that soon we can get the extra couple of players to take us that little extra step! We're not far off, and have had great spells this season, but the usual old inconsistancy always haunts us.


With regards champs league, I don't know what to say about Tuesday, I don't really think any team has an advantage as I fully expect Arsenal to score... It's just whether we can keep them to scoring one and put a couple away ourselves...

Arsenal 2 v Liverpool 0

Aston Villa 2 v Bolton 1

Blackburn 3 v Tottenham 2

Fulham 2 v Sunderland 2

Man City 1 v Chelsea 2

Newcastle 2 v Reading 0

Wigan 0 v Birmingham 2

Everton 2 v Derby 0

Middlesbrough 1 v Man Utd 2


FA Cup:

Barnsley 2 Cardiff 1

Portsmouth 2 West Brom 1

My daughter went to the youth FA cup final last night. Chelsea had two goals disallowed so the 1-1 score doesn't really show the whole picture. I think they have a fine youth line-up in the wings.

Yeah, we're not doing well at hanging on to players, I fear for Newton. Every time we get someone good, someone like Fergie 'expresses an interest' which can have a horribly unsettling effect on someone, as we saw in the Reo-Coker episode.

Pity, the boy's got talent, but I don't want anyone in the side who doesn't want to be there.


Newton's more mature, but it feels like only a matter of time before someone will make an offer the board won't refuse.

Our biscuit magnate didn't hang around long either.


...and because I can't help my pedantry, I think Lampard was in the senior squad too.


Whatever happened to the likes of Newton (Adam) and Iriekpen, who looked pretty good in that side too.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
