I think he's been drinking and is over emotional. :))


Not too worried about a draw at Fulham. They've been a good team recently and have given us a good run for out money and with Rooney out it was always going to be a bit makeshift up front. I'm looking forward to the reactions from tomorrow night's game.

Heh heh - I enjoyed the game but at the same time no wonder people thought Howard Webb had a good World Cup final if the Refereeing today is deemed acceptable!


It was an end to end game and was quite surprised by the number of times Fulham opened up United. Maybe not as many times United opened up Fulham there but worryingly, for United fans, there did not seem to be much resistance in the United midfield.


But the real puzzler is why were the United fans singing the Torres song :-S


We shall see what happens in Manchester tomorrow night - could go either way, but probably a 1-1 draw. Hope I am not tempting fate here but the last time Liverpool played their second match of the season away at City they lost 2-1 missing a last minute penalty which I believe had a certain Niall Quinn as goalkeeper.

Agreed - They have still not replaced Keane, despite all the success they have had since he left. They do not seem to be prioritising the Keane role.

Money does talk and what knocked United off their perch was a lack of it compared with Abramovich. If it had not been for the Russian they they would have captured Michael Essien to replace Keane. Plus a whole host of other players such as Michael Ballack, John Obi Mikel and Arjen Robben who they were also favourites to sign until Chelsea showed the Roubles.

The draw with Fulham was a fair result...not sure why Nani was taking the pen with Giggs on the pitch, but heyho.


Utd fans do not sing the 'Torres song', however there is a song dedicated to John O'Shea to the tune of 'Into The Ark' that has been sung since season 2002/3, long before the camp looking one visited these shores...


When Johnny goes marching down the wing, O'Shea, O'Shea

When Johnny goes marching down the wing, O'Shea, O'Shea

When Johnny goes marching down the wing, the Stretford End will f****ng sing

'Cause we all know that Johnny's going to score...

(sanitized version: ...the Stretford End will rise and sing...)


Despite not signing Michael Ballack, John Obi Mikel and Arjen Robben, Utd still went on to win the PL three times on the trot, so that completely blows that 'analysis' out of the water. As for the laughable notion that Utd have been knocked off their perch, well I'd argue that at least Utd are still in the cage, unlike the droppings that have long since been cleaned out and shipped off to the Europa League...:)


Mick, Fergie said a long time ago when Keane left that he was irreplaceable...we now have new systems to suit the current squads' strengths (and weaknesses), at present a Keane type player isn't one of them....as you rightly point out despite losing Keane we have still achieved significant success, so the new players/systems have obviously worked...no one ever says we need a new Nistelrooy...I'm happy that Utd are constantly moving forward and adapting, and not living on past glories.

From a spurs forum


ok so the info i got today was very precise & the dude was at pains to say "exactly" what he was told....


we have had a bid of ?14mil accepted for fabiano, we are in contract negotiations as we speak....we are positive he will sign for us & this should be a big story tomoz in various press outlets...


Robbie keane is not injured, he has had a huge bust up with joe jordan & was angry to be left on the bench against young boys even though defoe was nursing an injury to his groin.....west ham have offered us a straight swap, parker for keane (this is to appease west ham fans as gold says he wouldnt sell but parker has refused to sign a new deal) harry has given this the green light now fabiano is close however keane has refused to go....simply does not want to go there....he wants celtic but there offer of around ?5.75mil was deemed unacceptable....


keane is going no matter what, even a possibility of a loan if club ties up fab


the guy states we are only after fabiano & parker (now gallas is in)...thats our lot apparantly...


from spurs fan

Celtic are a very different proposition this season. Now the misfit Mowbray has gone its a more positive camp and looks a good team.


So much of what has been good so far will depend on getting past Utrecht on Thursday night though and into the europa leagu proper - the players who have come already or who may be considering coming will want euro football of some sort.

Have just had a few quid on Man City to win league at 9/1 RD.


Based upon their firt half against Liverpool they are either very good, or Liverpool are very poor.

I dont allow myself to criticise liverpool anymore. If i go to the drinks next week i want to have someone to talk to.


I would say that with villa losing 6-0 and liverpool losing 3-0 then martin o neill should be managing liverpool. Villa are going to see now the value he added and liverpool might feel they have made a mistake but time will tell.

Sorry Jah, and Keef, but why is there this amazing faith being put in Roy Hodgson? I really don't understand it.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
