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!' ?!!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
