Newcastle were woeful yesterday, we played well, but I was expecting a real match, and they just rolled over.


I am seriously worried about this Benitez situation. I know the press make mountans out of mole hills, but he was quite outspoken after the match, and I would hate him to go. And I don't want him replaced by a certain former Chelsea boss!!!

Have been thinking about this Keef (as you did miss the best 25-30 mins of the game). ;-)

Our passing was immense - yes we weren't playing Barca or AC Milan, but in that game NUFC didn't know their arse from their elbow, because of the way we played. I do wonder if sometimes, when we obliterate other teams like that, the focus comes away from us playing well to the other team being shite. If it were one of the other two "big" teams that play in red in the prem, I think that the comments would be different.

I have just the read the following in todays Times in the column title "The Debate", which sums perfectly my feelings as to why coaching and development of youngsters in English football requires a radical changes at grass roots level.


"Slaven Bilic, the Croatia coach, was happy to let England's central defenders have the ball at Wembley because he thought they could not pass. That is a direct reslut of playing on pitches that are too big at an early age, which promotes little technical ability beyond the big punt upfield"


These are sentiments I've expressed many times in this thread in recent weeks. I hope that someone of influence, within the English game sits up and takes note and actually does something to reverse this trend!!!

Disappointed Spurs didn't come away with all three points at Upton Park yesterday and I bet Hammers supporters (step forward Mr Mockney Piers) were laughing like drains when Jermaine Defoe missed the penalty in the last minute.

Right! The England manager? Gotta be Fabio Capello hasn't it?

I don't know that laughing is quite the word. We comfortably controlled first half and just disappeared for all but the last 7 or 8 minutes of the second half. When he won the penalty a the last gasp it was a case of "thrown away three points again!!".

Mediocre penalty and great save gave rise to a few flicked birds and the EDT filled with noise of f.o.defoe.y.c.

Relief at a point saved at the end frankly.

Wasn't a pretty game to watch but it was sure as hell an exciting one!

Hmm..I thought we were all over West Ham in the first 20 minutes until that dodgy penalty decision against Keane. It was only when the hapless Younis Kaboul made that dreadful error that led to the first goal that West Ham gained a bit of confidence. I thought about watching it in the EDT but settled for the CPT instead. Only one Hammers supporter in there yesterday but he made enough noise all the same, especially once Defoe came on.

Actually fair enough, Mrs mockney got all does my bum look big in this when getting ready, causing me to miss first 20 minutes. Took her about 6 hours to apologise.

Bums should not get in the way of footie!!


... so to speak.


They all seemed to be down the EDT; it's normally just me and the weathered looking bloke, so no idea where all the others came from.

The dodgiest decision of the weekend was the disallowed goal by Kenny Miller who was a yard onside, lobbed Cudicini from about 22 yards and had it ruled offside. That's just typical of the luck that CSKA Fulham seem to get. Myopic linesmen eh?? What can you do with 'em??

BSA is in a funny old position


His employer has gone na dhe doesnt know whats going on with his new boss


he has a squad of relatively new PL players & the inherited rubbish like Owen / taylor / etc etc etc


hes barely 6 months into the job and it would be sad to ctitisise what is going on


NUFC have not had any consistancy since Robson was undermioned and shamefully ejected


One side of me knows hes an efficient thoughful manager and needs a couple of years to make his mark


the other side wants him out and propelled into the England job - as a Scot, this is just What England need!



But basically, he needs time & support & I dont think Ashley will give him that - BSa wasnt a popular appointment, but 6 months in, We should b consolidating, not chopping & changing

    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
    • I really have to smile as I was the one, years ago who posted about what Gala was.. had not a clue, but drove and drive regularly. Felt such a fool at the time but wow, years later post still comes up.. with comments. Still don’t understand why a lot of park is cordoned off and glad not a resident overlooking park.. must be so noisy but now dates have been kindly supplied, those that don’t want to chill and listen to music in their flats/houses can up sticks and explore UK or abroad. Totally understand that in a built up area and millions in London, music events take place all over the capital to allow access to all.  Brockwell  Park, Dulwich Park, don’t hear anything going on in or around Telegraph Hill or indeed Horniman Gardens.. Crystal Palace I believe do their own thing.  Do these events , clearly charge, provide their own insurance, public liability, crowd control, first aiders, security and policing? Rubbish clearance etc  
    • Personally I think the second weekend has always been a tactical ploy with no real intention of going ahead with it. The council then turn it down (saying they have listened to us, which of course they haven’t) and announce that they will only license one weekend. GALA get the result that they want - job done. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the council even suggested this ploy, they are so desperate to keep the event.
