It would be wrong of me to gloat what, with the self-confessed Stoke hating one's enforced absence, but* as an ex resident of said town with a soft spot for the team, andone who spent ?150 quid treating an arsenal friend of mine to join me in Watching his team dump us out the cup in the last round...


HA Ha Ha, in YER FACE ;-)


*everything before the but in a sentence is bullshit.

Interesting article by Ron Liddle. The early days of the new regime at West Ham are very similar to when they took over at Birmingham, albeit with a different starting point. There were talks of the disastrous and parlous state of the club naming rights, new stadium, bringing in star players (Papin at ?20k per week - Maradona was mentioned once) and a nice guy manager (Terry Cooper). Next few months are going to be very interesting but I fear for Zola. One thing Sully sneaked into interviews is that he will decide on players coming in (i.e. his agent mates will decide).

I think they were favourites even before other big guns were dumped out.. they are very strong and seemed to have avoided the injuries that cost them trophies in previous seasons.


Be interesting to see where Rooney ends up next season - he has been a good servant to United and I don't think anyone would begrudge him a move to Real Madrid.

no schadenfreude, I'm actually happy for Stoke.


I have no particular gripe againt Arsenal truth be told. I've been to Highbury a good dozen times with arsenal mates. I do like Stoke though, they've usualy had a torrid time in the top flight, and they're demonstrating good old fashioned values like hard work and gumption and physicality, and atila knocks them at very opportunity. An arsenal fan. I'll allow the irony to speak for itself.



I doubt he will end up at Madrid or leave OT. He has become the main man now that Ronnie has left. Also it takes a particular type of Englishman to be able to cope with the change of lifestyle/language etc. I doubt he is that type. He's not very good at speaking English is he? How is he going to speak Spanish?

What I saw was Rory Delap launching the ball into the box like a missile from a throw after he'd been allowed to time to dry the ball with a towel. That seemed at the heart of their tactics. However it was enjoyable seeing the mighty Arsenal tumble out of the Cup but I couldn't watch that every week... and neither could their own fans based on the empty seats on display.


Spot on there Declan - he wasn't exactly a good English tutor for Tevez was he!

    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
