A good win for the Arse tonight, potential banana skin avoided...they should easily qualify now.

Fergie's plan to field a second string against the Huns could backfire even further tomorrow night, Valencia looking good domestically...will be happy with a draw. Spurs need a win against the 'weakest' team in their group and hopefully they'll achieve that.

A highly entertaining game at Elland Road in the Championship last night - at least for the neutrals.


After going 0-1 down to local(ish) rivals, Preston, Leeds romped into a 4-1 lead only to be pegged back to 4-2 before half-time. 6 goals in 45 minutes is good but after the break, galvinised by a father-inspired rant from manager Darren Ferguson, Preston stormed back with another 4 goals to win 4-6.


As a Leeds fan I'm disappointed with result but can't help look on in disabelief at such a scoreline. Concede six goals at home? Lose a three goal lead? Score 4 and not win? I can't decide which is more ridiculous.


On an aside, I'm saddened but not surprised that ex-Leeds star Jermaine Beckford is making little impact at Everton bar a penalty miss against Brentford. He's got an eye for goal but lacks the refinement needed in the Premier League.

Jeez! That must have been fun to watch but not if you're a Leeds fan obviously. I think you're absolutely spot on about Beckford. I know it's early days but I can't see him making that step up in class. His first touch is poor and will prove to be a very poor investment for Everton.
Defensive frailities glaringly obvious again last night despite the scoreline. Rooney out for 3 weeks as aresult of an "injury". Hmmm, only the most cynical among us would think that it will also allow some time for the dust to settle of his domestic issues and that there is no "injury" at all.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has backed Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce's claims that he could manage one of continental Europe's top sides. "How do people know that if he was given the AC Milan job he couldn't do a better job than anybody else?" he asked.


Delusional or what.

Probably too early to judge Beckford, he looks like he needs to feed off another striker a la Yakubu, but the Toffees aren't playing that type of system, their gameplan is built around the passing strengths of Pienaar, Arteta and Cahill which is understandable..he put in a good shift against Utd in the Cup and scored a good goal I grudgingly seem to remember :X
I think we're all agreed that the sadly deluded Sam Allardyce's brand of football is Neanderthal. I don't think he'd last five minutes in any of those jobs he yearns for. If he's as good as he thinks he is then why hasn't got one of those top jobs. He thought he'd hit the big time when he went to Newcastle United. Didn't last long there Sam did you.
So what would improve MOTD? I think we need presenters/pundits to put forward much more in depth analysis, rather than the bland, "yeah he made some good runs", and all on the sofa nodding sagely when one of them shares their wisdom with us. How about putting a more challeging view poiint across to us, the audience, and perhaps the pundits actually disagreeing with each other and having enough intelligence to say why they disagree. As most of these guys are former footballers who've played at a very high level, surely they have far more to contribute than they do currently?

They need to mix it up a bit, far too stale. MOTD2 worked better with one-off guests (haven't seen it this season, so presume they still have the same format only without Mr Glum).

I quite enjoy Lee Dixon's input, so would prefer to see more of him than Shearer who is out of his depth on tactical analysis, but someone needs to tell 'Dicko' that slim fit shirts aren't a good look on a middle aged man slouched on a sofa. The editing leaves a lot to be desired too...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
