Jah Lush - as a Rangers fan it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on Hutton... apparently he has let the big brihgt lights of London go to his head and is basically surplus to requirements at WHL. This is a shame as he had a lot of potential - hopefully even the resident Celtic fans will agree...

Is he just not liked by Harry??? Is he just not as good as we thought... I can't really think of many players from the SPL setting the EPL on fire...


On another note - Rangers to go 10 clear tonight when we beat St Mirren 3-0 and Hibs batter Celtic!!!!!!!

Grab that worm Mic Mac and Declan.

I think Hutton's a good player. He's quicker then Corluka and is better going forward. I think Harry likes Corluke though because of his attitude, though he does seem a bit overweight and slow to me. Hutton is in there with Bentley and Pavyluchenko. Harry just doesn't fancy them for one reason or another.

SCSB79 I think we may have met. Didn't we have a conversation about Hutton in the bar of the CPT a month or so back?


Hutton's very quick and as Jimmy said very good going forward. He's had very nasty injury and was out a long time. I like him a lot and rate him highly but if his attitude is bad and Harry doesn't fancy him then his attitude has to change. I think he's played quite well in the last couple of games before last night. He has chance because Corluka does look a little slow and ponderous at times but he's probably more dependable defensively than Hutton.

I'm not predicting anything but I remember the LC Semi's in 69/70. 1st leg 2-1 City, 2nd 2-2. But that was when City had a good team.

It was a cracker from the City perspective as well apart from the last couple of minutes!


We'll concentrate on the league eh? And the FA Cup.

I hope the Man Utd fans who were critical of Rooney yesterday will acknowledge what a great player he really is. Fergie said he thought Rooney played better yesterday then when he scored 4 on saturday. The turn and driven crossfield pass he played that led to the first goal was as good as anything you'll see all season.And he showed the true hallmark of a great player after his miss from Evra's pass, which came at him very fast to be fair. He didn't hide or shirk his reponsibilities and stepped up to the plate to score the winner. That's Class.

Ho ho ho.. But Toshack has put together a young Welsh international team which has included likes of Bale, Collison, Ramsey for a few years now and they try to play football you right way. With Cardiff and Swansea finally coming out of the wilderness the good times may soon be back.


Hurts me to say this but how Fergie has squeezed so much out of this current United team is perhaps his most honest achievement - in previous seasons I've seen other team shoot themselves in the foot or dodgy referees carrying them home but not this year. This morning I begrudgingly say well done on reaching another Wembley Cup Final.

I see Wenger has been acting the football snob again. Criticising Villa for playing long ball football and upsetting O'Neill in the process. Are we all supposed to play football the Arsenal way? Does Wenger honestly think that a style of football which is natural to most of our players is in no way valid ? I never hear Ferguson make those complaints. Deal with it Vinegar face with good grace.

This whole thing about Arsenal playing beautiful football and all the rest are just thugs and blaggards etc. etc. seems to have got out of hand. They do tend to have skillful players at the club and many are a joy to watch. The unbeaten season saw some of the best football from a team I have ever seen and am ever likely to see.


These two facts don't mean that A. Everyone else must fall into line and play their way. B. They don't often come unstuck psychologically against teams they see as being 'stronger' than them. C. They don't try and pass the ball into the net a little too much and D. Hasn't got them a trophy for a few seasons. I don't get all the holier than thou stuff. Play the game, play the team you are matched against that week and play to your strengths. That's all you can do.

David Lacey in the 80s on a certain football team...."On days like this, West Ham can reasonably be considered a gift from the East End to civilsation" after we beat Newcastle on sunny saturday playing superb football.... no surprise, we won bugger all that season


Bill Shankly in the 70s - "West Ham - lovely football, lovely players...2 points to Liverpool"


Pretty means nothing.

    • Back on topic (!),  just a reminder that the new incarnation of the ED Forum drinks will be in The Palmerston TOMORROW Wednesday 11 June from 7pm. Turn immediately left as you come in by the main  Lordship Lane entrance, and we will be in the area there. Hope that at least a few of you will be up for getting to know some of your fellow forum members in real life!
    • For the past 15 years, I’ve been subjected to persistent passive-aggressive bullying and harassment by my upstairs neighbours. Their behaviour has included tampering with my plants, opening bin bags and questioning me about their contents, and interfering with misdelivered post — some of which appeared to have been opened. There has also been consistent noise disruption, like loud door banging and deliberately dropping heavy objects. They often laugh or stare at me when I’m in the garden, creating a constant sense of intimidation. Much of their conduct is subtle and hard to prove, often falling into a grey area that could easily be dismissed as paranoia, which makes it even more distressing. In the early years, I sometimes responded, but I realised this only seemed to encourage them. Since then, I’ve tried to remain calm and avoid confrontation — but unfortunately, this seems to have escalated things. After the recent death of a close family member, they left a condolence note, which at first seemed kind — but it came with a request to cut back my laurel bush, which I maintain for privacy, as I often feel watched in my own garden. The timing and nature of the request felt inappropriate. Still, I arranged for a gardening service and slightly reduced the laurel, though likely not as much as they wanted. Shortly after, one neighbour commented on how lovely one of my potted plants looked — which struck me as unusual, since we’ve barely spoken in years. Just days later, they told me the same plant looked like it was dying and asked if they should water it. Soon after, it rapidly turned yellow, brittle, and died — in a way that looked clearly unnatural. From photos, it appears the plant was poisoned, likely with a chemical weed killer. Access to that area is restricted — it’s behind a locked front gate monitored by a Smart CCTV camera. No one else had access, and it would be very difficult for someone to climb over the wall unnoticed. Given the timing and condition of the plant, I strongly suspect it was deliberately poisoned. I brought this up in a chat with my next-door neighbours, and they revealed they’d lost three trees along the same fence line over the past few months. One of them had previously been asked for access to cut back those very trees. One of the affected trees was a mature silver birch, whose sudden death should leave chemical evidence if tested. I’ve reported the incident to the Environment Agency and requested soil testing to check for toxins. The police have also been notified. I’ve installed another CCTV camera for additional monitoring. I’m not looking for confrontation — I just want to live peacefully and without further interference. But their behaviour continues to feel calculated and harassing. Has anyone experienced anything similar? What steps would you recommend next? I feel at a loss as to how to protect my space and sanity.
