We can do it mathmatically

1 Chelsea 34 15 1 1 53 14 9 4 4 32 16 55 77

2 Man Utd 34 14 1 2 45 11 9 3 5 32 16 50 73

3 Arsenal 34 14 1 2 44 15 8 4 5 32 21 40 71

4 Man City 33 11 4 1 38 17 6 7 4 31 24 28 62


Chelsea, Man Ure and Arse lose every game we win ;-D Manchester City, Ever the optimist ! Lol

Oh, Spurs you just don't get it: you were supposed to beat Portsmouth at the weekend and then go on to win the cup so that Chelski didn't and then lose to us last night (about 0-8) so that we could pip Chelski for the title. I mean why do you think I kept having that dream?

Ah, I see Rafa's plan now. Perform really badly in all competitions in order to ease pressure on players for next season. ;-)

You reinforce my point exactly Matthew, the level of expectancy on Citeh to perform well will ramp up 10-fold next season, even opposition fans expect it! With that comes the pressure, it's how a club as a whole manages that pressure, Garry Cock's rantings don't help and the managerial merry-go-round could become farcical, the owner needs to appoint a manager and let them get on with it, Abramovich screwed up getting rid of Mourinho...'world class signings' isn't necessarily a solution, this often means other first team players sitting on the bench, would players like Tevez go back to being a small fish in a big pond?...personally I don't mind Citeh doing well (winning silverware excluded), it's reinvigorated traditional rivalries and I expect Manchester as a whole to become the dominant force in domestic football :)

I'm not sure it's in the mentality of a City fan to expect to do well, regardless of how much is spent (one of the main differences between us and Spurs for instance)


I fully expect that if City do get 4th we will lose the Champions League qualifier and end up in UEFA anyway.. Speculatively speaking it may turn out we get new fans with a touch of the glory hunting (which is a bizarre thought) who do have those expectations but what they think really isn't of any import.


The owners on the other hand I think you're right and it would be good to see them doing what they said they'd do. To be fair they mostly have with the glaring exception of sacking Hughes, more money for the academy, engaging with the community etc. Fingers crossed.

In rememberance of the 96 who lost their lives at Hillsborough 21 years ago today. RIP


To the famillies and friends of those who lost loved ones and also the survivors - You Will Never Walk Alone.

    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).  
    • I don't! But I've also taken to calling myself David, as it seems to shorten the odds of achieving something in life. It's not King Dave, Dave Lloyd George, Dave Hockney, Dave Bowie or Dave Hasselhoff is it? And I'm not sure Michelangelo would have had such success if he'd called his sculpture 'Dave'.
    • I think there is still a shoes/clothes recycling bank outside of North Dulwich station.  
    • I'm not so sure the collection team are that bothered anymore.  Two houses either side of me are rented and the tenants just chuck their rubbish - mostly bagged - in the blue or green bins depending on which has space in, not based on what it is.  The blue bins are always emptied.
