Not yet, but as Matthew123 has outtwitted me, feel my only recourse is to pay up on the next meet, much to my absolute chagrin ! Would be worse if he was a Rag but we all know they will resort to any method to win-It's Fergie time !

Technically, Brum stands a chance as he usurped Matts skullduggery and went to PMs !

For the integrity of Football, Mick McCarthy must be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.


After winning at WHL they travelled to Man U tonight "with 10 new faces from the team that beat Tottenham"

It's the Wolves fans I feel sorry for...''42 quid to watch the reserves''.


All clubs do this to some extent, especially the bigger clubs before big European games and the cups, witness L'Arse's team against Citeh recently. The Sky pundits got it right when they said come the end of season and Wolves are relying on another club to beat one of their relegation rivals, they won't have any come back if that club fields a weakened team because they feel they have a more important game coming up. Karma normally sorts these things out...

Not sure this holds water, how many teams field 10 changes from the previous game in The Prem? The League Cup I can understand but to field a reserve side in the Premier League sets a worrying precedent especially as the purse strings of all but a handful of top sides are being drawn ever tighter and avoiding relegation rather than competing become an increasing priority.

To give McCarthy his due hes at least been forthright in his defence of last nights team selection.


...and yes I am a bitter Spud.

I agree McCarthy was out of order, but I don't see anything happening. I feel for the fans that made the trip to Old Trafford, one bloke flew in from Singapore to watch his beloved Wolves and that has got be be a kick in the goolies!!!

Liverpool did exactly the same a few seasons back for a premier match at Fulham immediately before their european final. Fulham won their first game in yonks and avoided relegation as a direct consequence. It's horridly unfair and against the spirit etc etc but there's nothing to be done!

I just wish McCarthy had put that side out last Saturday against the Spurs. Bar steward!

Having said that I'm off to White Hart Lane tonight for the game against Man City and I'm not entirely confident that we'll get the desired result. In fact I can see us taking a bit of a pasting tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

One od Rafa's greatest moves, removing thr most vile managers in the game from the league.

Sorry for making you feel it was an 'in joke' to your exclusion. Quite a few people were aware of the thread where Blueboy offered ?20 as a bet, and he was unexpectedly caught out. In this thread he was 'donating' ?20 though the liklihood of it happening are pretty slim. Hence my reference to it. Apologies again. I'll try to stick to football in future.

SimonM you are Neil Warnock and I claim my ?20 (sorry SP!)


Seem to remember Warnock playing an understrength Shef Utd team against Utd @ OT and then complaining when Fergie played a 'weakened' team against West Ham, can't have it both ways. I hope Wolves get caught out too...

Brilliant performance last night... hopefully kick starts our season.

I can't believe that this is the first game I've been to at White Hart Lane this season. I've normally been half a dozen times by now.

I can see us fielding our strongest team tonight as it is a huge game for us and Spuds. Jah, stay warm mate as I can't see you jumping around much unlike the Blue end of WHL ! CTID


As I mentioned earlier in the thread after the game against Wolves on Saturday I can see us taking a bit of a hammering tonight but of course I hope I'm wrong and you'll be the first to know. Come on you Spurs!!

    • Good luck with this - there have been several requests over the years by students needing to do infant observations.  I was lucky when I did mine  - way back in 1994 at a local nursery. Have you tried contacting the NCT to see if there are any local groups who would be willing to participate? As a mother of 2 - found the observation very informative - mine was a 2 year old child as my course stated a child under 3. Got my highest grade for this project so was very happy.
    • Happy birthday! I've just read a bunch of your reviews and really enjoyed it. You write Interestingly without being too ornate, and you manage to give a really good insight into the "vibe" of a place as well as the food. Totally agree with your review of Rocca - it's simple, great food in a friendly atmosphere at a completely reasonable price, esp considering the location.
    • Hello,  I am a 52-year old mother and an integrative counsellor who lives and works in West Dulwich, SE21. In mid January I am starting a new training in Parent Infant Psychotherapy (helping parents to bond with their babies), and a key component of the course is a 24-month infant observation.  I’m looking for someone who will be giving birth ideally in January or February and who would allow me to observe their baby for one hour a week until the baby’s second birthday. The baby can be awake or asleep, playing, feeding, eating or interacting with carer/s and family members - whatever they normally do at that time.  The purpose of the observation is to enable me to gain a thorough knowledge of very early infant development and to develop the capacity to maintain an observationally minded and non-judgemental attitude in my work as an infant-parent psychotherapist.  I will provide enhanced DBS clearance and I’m happy to answer any questions.  Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested, email me at [email protected] or call me on 07949716043. I would be extremely grateful for any leads. Many thanks,  Millie  Millie Burton, MBACP Integrative Counsellor [email protected] millieburton.com
    • I keep my promises...had the Sweet & Sour Chicken.  It was great - the best sweet and sour dish I've ever had. The chicken itself was good and the sauce seemed home made with real vegetables and pineapple - it is NOT the red sugar sauce goo you get elsewhere.  The Korean fried chicken was very good but the sweet chili sauce was much more chili than sweet - just far too spicy for me. There is a honey something sauce that I will get next time. Egg fried veggie rice was good as a side.  We also ordered the chicken katsu curry which was polished off so quickly I didn't get to taste it. It looked very good tho. SD is not like Magic Wok used to be - cheap and filling but junk food. (Don't get me wrong - I went often to Magic Wok). SD's food is much higher quality, real ingredients, chunky portions, freshly prepared. I'll be back, for sure.
