Why did defoe only play 21 mins Jah? - was it an injury or did he not start? If he did not start then I would be amazed.



Whoops - this was due to a frozen page on fantasy football - he seems to have played the full 90.

Well, well, well..finally Utd don't get away with a poor performance.


If Arsenal beat Liverpool, a big if but they really should, then they are right back in the mix. To be fair Chelsea sounded very unlucky.


Normally I'd be laughing my arse off at the Wolves result at Tottenham (sorry Jah but I would) but the bleeding Spuds even let us down when they lose.....and push us into the bottom 3


Gonna see what's happened to the odds for the title - as an aside, West Ham were 7/1 for relegation this morning which struck me as generous but even a gambler like me can't do that.....

The BBC 10 O'clock news tonight headlined with Marc Antoine Fortune's wonder strike against Motherwell on the opening news headlines.


I was amazed until I saw that BBC has no premiership rights (to show any english footie before MOTD probably)


But - hey - look on the bright side - you guys get to see the mighty Celtic. 3 great goals. Eat your heart out PGC.

Whilst MU will have been happy with Michael Owen in mid week - yesterdays two goals from Carlos Tevez and his recent performances show that he is the one they should have retained.


To lose Ronaldo was one thing but Tevez would have played a bigger part in his absence.

Arsenal have lost to MU and Chelsea so far, so they need to show today that they can beat a big4 team. If they do Quids, then things begin to look very interesting.

If they lose then I guess they are not any worse off than they were before the weekend, but they will feel they missed an opportunity.


Arsenal missed Van Persie against Chelsea, no doubt about that, but last weekend thay played Arshavin up front as a striker and that seemed to work, so hopefully that will be a fix for their upfront problems. I think that is a good move from Wenger, better than Walcott or Eduardo.

I think a fit and physical Liverpool side should beat Arsenal this afternoon. I knew United were going to struggle as soon as Radio 5 started spouting those 'it's been 20 odd years since Villa beat United at OT' blah blah blah. Still, we should be better over Christmas!

SP - I think Arsenal are physically stronger than previous seasons - I don't think that is so much of a concern anymore. They outmuscled the Chelsea midfield in the first half a few weeks ago and control midfield possession against most teams they have played this season.


Their obvious failure is not having the firepower upfront, but hope Arshavin can do the business up front today. I'd encourage Arsenal players to shoot on sight - they still try to keep passing the ball even when they get in the box. They have to be more direct and decisive. Thay can be beautiful to watch but equally, they can be very frustrating.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
