City were just very, very poor.


Big mistake from Mancini was to replace injured Santa Cruz with Robinho and not Benjani after what, ten minutes. No focus and the whole team's heads dropped.


Having said that he then took Robinho off, not a happy bunny. Anyone want a shop soiled show pony?


edit> should have said Everton were excellent from the off, all over City. Massive missed opportunity for City with Spurs and Liverpool results, play like that against the RAGS on Tuesday, kids or not, and we'll get hammered.

First I've heard of it but you only have to look at his body language to see his sense of frustration at recent events at Anfield. They rely on his him and Torres too much.


I'm pretty damned frustrated myself at the Spurs result yesterday but having watched it on Match Of The Day you have to applaud the Hull goalkeeper Boaz Myhill who had an absolute blinder. Still in fourth (just).

Reckon those 3 points might be a little harder with our Africans back - would not be surprised to lose though.

I hope they don't start on Tuesday! Our defence against Burnley seemed non existant.

Disappointing result yesterday for Liverpool as they played well enough considering the line up and tactics imposed on them by Rafa Benitez. I see Ian St John has slammed Rafa's tactics as boring and diabolical - and quite frankly it is impossible to disagree.


As each day passes the morale, loyalty and enthusiasm of key players like Pepe Reina, Mascherano, Torres and Gerrard will be beaten out of them so badly they will move closer to the exit door regardless of who is the next Manager. It happened under Houllier with Owen and Gerrard and history has a nasty habit of repeating itself.

Liverpool game yesterday was shocking, one of the owrst games I've had the misfortune to watch, partly down to the tatics employed by Benitez and the awful (non existent) quality of Stoke.


Spuds dropping points at home eh? Better wtch out boys, Everton are sneaking up on you for fourth spot and the way their playing at the moment they deserve it.


How good is Moyes as a manager. I wonder whata he would/could have achieved if he had the funds that Fergie, the Chavs, and Citeh have at their disposal. He is the only manager is the prem other than Le Boss that I admire.

Danny Murphy sticks the knife into the Rafa regime - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_5866564,00.html


"I keep in touch with a lot of people close to the club and many think the time has come for a new manager" ... now bear in mind the only people from his time still at the Club are the Captain and Vice-Captain, Gerrard and Carragher, that pretty much says he has lost the dressing room.

That goalkeeper was a clown.

Very happy with that dull point - now a bit more off the bottom with by far the best goal difference down there and most of the bottom teams still to play at home. I also hope that Capello is considering Parker for England and Milner should be going for sure. All in all a poor weekend for the pretenders at the top just Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal in it.


Finally a special thanks (not) to the Spuds - drawing at home to Hull at home after their losing to Wolves...cheers for your help :X

What an abysmal performance by City, Everton were fantastic and thoroughly deserved to win although some of Marriners decisions were poor. We need to really step up on Tuesday when we meet our wonderful neighbours ! (Sandperson, I'm not laughing now ! Coming down on Tuesday?)

Ruffers- PM me please- We are meeting at The City Pride Farringdon on Tuesday if you fancy watching with fellow Citizens!

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road. Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
