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!

      Well he couldn’t deliver anything better than a poor brexit. Because no such thing exists

      Fair points jazzer. But it begs the question, on what information are people basing their opinion? because if it’s x or the right wing media the of course they will believe nothing has happened but people who claim to be motivated by rising immigration numbers are either ignorant of or don’t care the those numbers have dropped significantly since Labour got in Hospital waiting lists are finally showing improvements after years of getting worse people on minimum wage are better off We haven’t had a random general election or new prime minister just months after the last one  compare that to Tory chaos Important relations with other countries (important for long term trade and growth) have improved under labour given the size of the mess they inherited it’s far better than many give credit for  and the prospect of a Badenoch and/or farage govt returning us to the chaos of last 10 years? No thanks (I could do a long list of things Labour have done wrong or badly but that’s for another thread. I did not vote for Labour, but all things considered they are a massive improvement on what came before. Unfortunately we have a bunch of far right agitators kicking off around the country because they are cry babies which gives impression country is going downhill  when it’s really not)

      he's not on the general radar - not with the Labour tax scandal and the new Tories wanting to buddy up with Starmer (on their terms). if anything, he's a irrelevant distraction from some real alarms

      Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.
