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!' ?!!

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
