I witnessed a home reversal from 4-1 up with an hour played to losing 4-6, albeit to a very good Swindon side (Hoddle/Hazard era) on Easter Monday 1993. I have not fully recovered yet.


Edited to say: You omitted Jon Parkin 'evading' the defence three times rfom your list of ridiculous deeds.

Predictably Millwall involved yet again. No surprise there then.

There seems to a small knot of people who are responsible. They must be known to the police via their intelligence gathering operations, so why do these people seem to get away with such behaviour again and again? It's a shame because most Millwall fans are decent and don't deserve to be associated with this nonsense.

Playing devil's advocate, the police make money out of football. They can justified an increased presence at future games based on incidents such as last night, charge clubs more for this presence and make a political case for equipment to deal with such incidents. Also, based on incidents I have witnessed, some of the police enjoy the confrontation.

5-4-1 actually turned out to be quite an attacking formation last night for the Bears.

It meant Whittaker and Broadfoot were able to get forward more and in turn meant Naismith had more freedom to move forward. The Turks didn't look threatening at all (well apart from maybe 10 mins in the second half).

Cracking start to the CL. Would never have thought we'd be joint top with 4 points.... the double header with Valencia will make or break our qualification hopes I think.

Aiden McGeady - that's him. Celtic and Republic of Ireland. (born in Scotland tho:)). Celtic sold him for 9.5m. He lives like a king in Moscow apparently.

And your problem is?


Sometimes decisions go your way, sometimes they don't. We had a couple of poor penalty decision go against us last week against the Arsenal, especially the first one which was a blatant dive by Nasri, but overall Arsenal deserved the win. They were the better side on the night.


Last night Spurs were by far the better side even when we went down to ten men for the last half hour. I'd say one or two of the penalty decisions that went our way were debatable but overall we definitely deserved the win.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
