that maybe. But the fact that they should hsve had a freekick and Gallas off with a red rather thsn a goal against is mainly what they are moaning about. Can you imagine what Wegner would be saying?

The ref on the night was awful. Every decision seemed to go to Bolton. Over the course of a season refs make some shocking decisions last night was no exception.A team is under no obligation to kick the ball out when a man is down especially if the player down is one of the team in possession. We've been on the receiving end of some shocking tackles, Adebayors kick on Van Persies head for example. Bolton chose to play on and we won the ball and scored. Stop crying Coyle, 2 nil and you fcuked it up.

Nice of the Arsenal fans to cheer when Mark Davies was carried off after Gallas's horrendous tackle. That's really sporting of them don't you think? Cunts!


Spurs had a perfectly good goal disallowed and two possible penalty appeals turned down last night which for me changed the course of the game. I thought Howard Webb had a bit of a shocker and showed himself to be a homer. That's the way it goes sometimes.

I thought you were determined to ignore me? I know you can,t bless you. Try not to let the green eyed monster take over your deluded thinking. Rags fans have cheered when opposition players have injured as have scum fans so it's a case of pot calling the kettle black. As if I give a shit about what Rags or a scum fan thinks. The holier than thou mantle is not one either of you can adopt with any credability. Rags losing against citeh, scum losing us winning, it doesn't get any better. Bring it on.

It's a different situation, completely. The ref saw the Eduardo tackle and sent the guy off, action was taken therefore the FA can't act retrospectively. Gallas foul the referee didn't see it, and the rule is if that's the case then the FA can act. This is the bit I don't get.


So there's no consistency - in one case the rules were followed, the other not.

What irks me about the Gallas foul was the thought of how he reacted to the Eduardo injury. Wasn't that the game when he sat on the pitch afterwards and wouldn't come off? A fine example for a captain to set. You would think that he would try not to do to another player what he saw done to his teammate if it upset him so much.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, City fan here. CTID.

    • 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 (with the green glazed bricks). 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.
