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


I wondered if you might bite! :)) Not that great a move though surely, as Liverpool still lost their final!


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.



No I am not Colin - who now lives in Beckenham you know! - merely a long-suffering Blades supporter. We did not play an a particularlly understrength side against Man Utd - certainly not Paddy Kenny + 10 reserves in the Wolves style - and the Man Utd side that played West Ham lookied pretty strong to me and should have won it. In any case I was not trying to rip a scab off an old wound, merely pointing out that what McCarthy did was nothing special, and not likely to get punished. But all the same I hope Burnley thrash Wolves at the weekend, for the same reason Colin wanted Liverpool to lose their European final - poetic justice!

Warnock's feud with Liverpool goes back to losing the League Cup semi final to Liverpool in 2003 when he claimed Stephane Henchoz gobbed in his face instead of shaking his hand at the final whistle.


Reason Sheffield United went down was not because Liverpool played a weakened team at Fulham, or Man U played a weakened team against West Ham or because West Ham had done a dodgy deal over Tevez it was because they had a shite manager in charge. It's not rocket science.

I see Wenger is hitting out at the fixture list, not the fact that his team have had two poor games on the trot.


Burnley have had some good results this season, in fact I was talking to a Hammer this morning who was bemoaning that very fact. They got three points off us and one off Arsenal you know.

Two poor games and 4 points no losses, beat Pool who Mancs lost against as they did against Burnley. I rest my case.

Wenger is showing too many signs of wear and tear to make me comfortable. His comments about Wolves are wrong too


Still, annoying as it is to lose ground on the leaders, I would have taken 4 points from the last two fixtures if you had asked me a week ago so I won't get too upset just yet

Whatever Wenger thinks of McCarthy doesn't matter. McCarthy did what he thought was best for his club which may or may not be the right thing. Wenger as do others always plays 2nd strings in the League Cup and probably the FA Cup too when it suits. Is his reasoning for that, because it not worth winning? You can be sure that McCarthy wants to stay in the Premiership and for some teams it's like finding a way to climb Everest. He may have gone in the wrong direction but only time will tell. Last season Hull only survived because of their pre Christmas form. If Wolves stuff Burnley at the week-end then McC will consider it a job well done. If they don't then that's another matter. Man U made 5 changes from their last match. Why is that ok?

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
