Third place is automatic qualification to group stages. 4th means you go into a play off, and there are some good teams that you can up against. Everton and Newcastle have both been knocked out at this stage before. You then automatically go into UEFA (Europa) cup.
I have to hold my hands up as I didn't think Harry was capable of getting us into top four. He's done a great job and must be a consideration, along with Roy Hodgson, for manager of the year. Who would have thought Spurs would have taken maximum points from the games against Arsenal, Chelsea and City?

I think Harry's always been a decent manager. However, some of his previous clubs would argue at times he's put his own personal wealth above his clubs best interests and has 'alledgedly' done this illegally...I believe he was quoted a few years back as saying something like "Any Premiershop manager who hasn't got a few bob is a bit stupid". Certainly West Ham fans by and large believe that he cheated West Ham for his own personal gain vis a vis the players he signed with the Rio money. Now standards have at least improved thanks to scrutiny then he's once again shown he is a decent manager.


Interesting to hear Ratty's view if he's about.

Massive win for us last night. Absolutely brilliant. I think that was the best I've seen Peter Crouch play for us and Ledley King and Michael Dawson were absolutely immense when they had to be. If they don't get into the England squad for the World Cup above inept plodders like Matthew Upson I'd be horrified.

Disagree - Europa League distraction is worse if anything, Thursdays mean every game is Sunday and it goes on forever. And I don't think Liverpool's squad is good enough to contend, they're finishing where they are because that's how good they are.

Look at Chelsea under Scolari and then under Hiddink - the Manager is the most influential man at any Club.


Poor morale, negative football is a poor recipe for success - and that is what Liverpool have suffered this season.


I am sure if City had a decent Manager they'd have been competing for PL title this season not because they have a squad only marginally better than A.Villa.

Hard luck Stevenage Borough in the FA Trophy Final at Wembley.

Couple days ago I was chatting to a lad I used to teach a few years back, who I knew was a footballer, and found out in the course of conversation that he played for Stevenage. Was on the bench for today's match.

That was some performance from Chelsea today, clinching title was an eight nil win. They have been the best this season no doubt about that - collecting maximum points home & away against Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal. Drogba and Lampard seem to just get better with age. Whether they go and sign anyone in the summer you still have to, as always, make them favourites for next season. But what did the animated Ancelloti belt out at the end with microphone in hand to the crowd, was it by any chance the Italian for, 'F*** MOURINHO!' ?!!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
