I don't like to see any club in this sort of predicament, well maybe there's one I'd like to see dopwn the toilet but that's something else. I feel for Pompey because at least they have a good loyal following. I hope they survive but I still think we'll get the result tonight.

Well if they do get wound up then Liverpool will be 3 points better off as nearly every other top team has beaten them and will be deducted those points. Of course Pompey will survive with some 11th hour rescue as usually seems to happen.


As for the Villa Liverpool game last night I got more enjoyment ironing my shirts and that was dull! Hopefully that late winner will galvanize Liverpool into a charge up the table.


On another note who was the real Footballer of the Year? i.e. 1st Jan 2009 to 31st Dec 2009. I had previously not been convinced but over the last 12 months my choice has been ripping up trees and is now a firm favourite on the Kop with his ability, stamina and mentality... no not Dirk Kuyt but actually someone who can play football, step forward Yossi Benayoun!

I was thinking about what Mathew says too. If Pompey do go under then their matches are void which makes a fair differnce at the top Man U/Chelsea/Totts and Arsenal have all beaten them I think, whereas Liverpool lost. We've only won 4 games and as one is Pompey I'm really hoping they stay afloat.....


Joking aside it would be terrible if a proper club like Pompey go to the wall.

Saw that this morning on telly - why Liverpool didn't meet the ?5m asking price (like Man U, Everton & Arsenal) and instead blew ?7m on Dossena is an absolute joke.


Looks like Rangers are running away with the SPL - 10 men and they still won 7-1!

"Just shows you how poor the SPL is."


Whoops - that was Atila's point not Matt's - sorry Matt.

Good point Declan...


Rangers have hit a brilliant bit of form Mic Mac. Anything but 3 points for Celtic on Sunday will see Mowbray under a sever amount of pressure.

It is the first Old Firm game in a long time that I've been confident going into. If Miller's red card is upheld that will be a blow, but I feel Rangers will win comfortably.


3-1.

I think Mowbray is a limited manager. He got lots of praise last season for perservering with West Brom's short passing game, but where did it get them in the end? He had no plan B when they were embroiled in a desperate relegation battle. Now at Celtic he seems to be doing the same again.

I think Martinez may be next for the chop. He's fallen into the Tony Mowbray syndrome of trying to get a group of sub standard footballers to 'play' their way out of the relegation dogfight. Better to take a leaf out of Tony Pulis' book. It's not pretty, but it's effective.

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

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
