Now you know how Arsenal felt at half time on Sunday, Jah.


Sounds familiar and possession counts for nothing at the end of the day.


The team that takes it chances wins and many teams suffer from believing in the new management mantras of "Possession football" and "the team that passes the ball best, blah blah blah" which are the top managerial misconceptions of the moment.


Wenger, Benitez, and Mowbray too, are the main culprits I can think of in thinking that you can win a game without remembering that the point of the game is to create genuine chances and score goals.


Alex Ferguson and Martin O Neill lead the way in the opposing corner.

Manchester United had five shots off target and two shots on target and scored twice, both from outside the box. Two very good finishes I might add. Similarly we had two on target and six off target. We didn't take our chances and they did.

I'm not too bothered though. It's no disgrace to go out of a competition at the quarter-final stage at Old Trafford. Perhaps, now we can concentrate more on cementing a top four finish and maybe a good run in the FA Cup.

They've announced the seeding and we are seeded. Portugal and France not. Potential Group of Death = Portugal/France, Ivory Coast, USA


From BBC "worst case scenario on Friday would arguably see Fabio Capello's side take on France, Ivory Coast and the USA, while a far easier proposition on paper would have England facing Slovenia, Algeria and New Zealand."

Wave Palestinian flags, unions urge Celtic soccer fans at tonights match against Isrealis

"We hope that Celtic fans will join with us in a demonstration of support for a just and lasting peace in Israel/Palestine based on a secure Palestinian homeland living side by side with Israel," Dave Moxham, deputy secretary general of the Scottish Trades Union Congress said in a statement.


Thankfully Celtic have nipped this in the bud, but why on earth would a Scottish Trades Union get involved in this sort of propoganda request? Embarrasing.

      Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents.

      Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?

      Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
