It was only Nani that got sent off SP - unless he is now one of your better players?


I saw the Nani tackle and for me I don't think it was a Red card. It may say in the rule book he had to go but if the Ref followed rule book then how the hell does Paul Scholes ever last an hour on the pitch???


We can argue about Fabregas not being in the box (although assuming he was 10 yards back from free kick he most certainly was in area so I'd say if Ref gives it as a handball then by default he will give a pen as otherwise he has failed in putting back the wall 10 yards.

Come on Matt, you can take a joke can't you? Unlike some. Suprisingly,as I'm sure you know, Nani IS one of our better players now. At least he has been for three or so games. I know Robbie Savage was umming and ahhing about the tackle as he wasn't sure it was a red card, but hey, them's the breaks.


I haven't seen the Fabregas incident but I was suprised Liverpool didn't out muscle Arsenal last night. You say you had a lot of the game Matt?

Well the first half was a shocking spectacle but the second was quite open. I think it was quite balanced. Both teams had chances. Ngog may be derided for his Brum dive but last night when clean through he leapt out of the way when the Dutch defender tried to go across the back of him inside box.


Lot of empty seats at Emirates from what I saw on telly. If they can't fill it with Wenger's football in a big match what chance when they say have another Bruce Rioch or George Graham in charge?

Watched it all on Match Of The Day last night. Definately not a penalty. It was outside the area...though you probably have a point about the wall not being ten yards. I thought Liverpool lacked quite a bit of ambition going forward and lost fair and square.


As for Spurs and their rubbish performance against Wolves. Alan Hansen remarked last night:- "As soon as Spurs look like they are in the ascendency they will always let you down." How bloody true.


Some happy Hammers this morning I'll bet.

Harry Redknapp and Milan Mandaric were released on unconditional bail this morning after appearing in a London court charged with tax evasion. Mandaric, Redknapp's chairman when he was manager of Portsmouth, released a statement saying he was confident he would be exonerated of any wrongdoing. Their case was adjourned until April 14.


John Terry boarded a plane to Dubai this morning in an effort to save his marriage amid allegations of an affair with the ex-partner of England team-mate Wayne Bridge. The Chelsea captain will miss the FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to Cardiff on Saturday after Carlo Ancelotti, his manager, agreed to compassionate leave.


Hull have been fined ?40,000 and Arsenal ?20,000 for failing to control their players in a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium in December. Better news for Hull is they have settled their legal dispute with former chairman Paul Duffen out of court.


Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool captain, has hit out at Howard Webb's "crazy" decision not to award his side a penalty in last night's 1-0 defeat away to Arsenal. Cesc Fabregas admitted afterwards that he handled Gerrard's stoppage-time free kick but Webb, the referee, did not spot it.

Gerrard went down a tad too easily on a few occasions last night. Not befitting conduct for a potential England captain.

Matthew

Not that many empty seats that I saw and the attendance was over 60k

Perhaps, the poor dears work so hard they need to have some perks. How do they scrape by on a mere ?120k a week, it must be sheer hell for them.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
