Putting this into perspective, lets be honest, he isn't the only one guilty of cheap point scoring, if indeed thats is what he's done. In a similar vein, the awful sectarian bile that reared its ugly head on here between Celtic and Rangers was a tad too much for me, banter is one thing, but come on people. I know we all love our teams and feel passionately about them, which sometimes leads to the red mist descending. I guess what I'm saying is, if you dish out banter, you have to expect it back, but not poisonous nasty ranting. I'll get off me soap box now.

Whilst watching my sons mates play for for Dulwich Hamlet against Whyteleafe last night (they won 2 nil), I also managed to keep an eye on the Manchester derby. Both sides were more worried about losing the game than winning it and as a result did Chelsea a big favour.


Joey Barton reverted to type, yet again, by punching Pederson, and Newcastle came back down to earth with a bump by losing at home. Scott Parkers goal was easily the goal of the night, and Blackpool were unlucky, yet again. The Arsenal got a good win, very pleased, as Molineux is not as easy place to go to and get a result these days. Fabregas should know better than to dive in on a player, especially when the player is going nowhere fast. Essiens red card was deserved and Chelsea could have won by a hat full. And so to Liverpool. What can you make of a team that only a few days previously beat the champions of England and puts in a very average shift against Wigan. On this evidence top four, let alone Champs League, will be a big ask.

Looking at their league position, I wouldn't call that progress, I would call it a big backward step. It's unfortunate but they rely far too heavily on Stevie G and Torres and when they don't perform, they're buggered. I feel for those two, and you can't help but think that they are seriously considering moving on in order to prolong their careers, or face burn out as a result of the the over reliance by the club on the both of them.

Pressure, what pressure? We're used to the pressure of challenging for the League, just like you're no doubt used to pressure of a relegation dogfight ;-)


Myopic? I don't disagree, to varying degrees that applies to most on here, although I am more than capable of seeing the bigger picture, and more than happy to contribute to non-Utd issues.

Despite the rampant myopism, I don't expect to see crass postings like BR's on the EDF. It's the sort of post you get on 606, TalkSport, etc. Despite his protestations to the contrary, his post IMO served no purpose other than to paint (unintended pun) Utd fans in an extremely bad light, otherwise why post it? There isn't a club in the country that hasn't got a number of mindless morons who support them. I could quite easily put up similar posts where Citeh/Liverpool 'fans' have sprayed Munich graffiti, sung songs etc (only last night Citeh 'fans' were singing Munich songs and waving their arms mimicing an airplane), and likewise Liverpool supporters can about Utd 'fans' and Hillsborough, but I choose not to...

Forgive me, and I'm not try to wind you up here, but aren't you trying to point score here? Surely the best way to respond to those posters that you find offensive, would be to ignore them??? Only asking


Edited as I can't spell "them" properly, d'oh!!

Forgive me, and I'm not trying to wind you up here, but coming from you that's a bit rich...to some extent we're all point scoring, even you're last post could be construed as such, and so might this reply, but there has to be a line that we don't cross. Mick Mac felt SCSB79 had crossed it with his remarks about Celtic. So to answer your question...no


PS. you missed off ing from try...1-0! ;-)

Back to the football. Only saw the second half last night but City showed no ambition whatsoever. At one stage they had 3 players attacking on the edge of the Utd box and every other City player was in their own half! For a Wolves or Birmingham etc at home to Utd you could excuse not pushing players forward and settling for a point but I expected more from City.


The fact is though that Mancini sees it as a point gained. Only 7 goals at home from 6 home league games, they may grind their way into 4th place but not sure it will be much fun to watch.

I was watching Dulwich Hamlet Youth play at Champion Hill and kept running back to the bar to watch the game on Sky, I thought neither team had much ambition.

Spot on Emerson, neither side were playing for a win, win played like an away side rather than the advantaged home team but I guess we won a cheap point ! ;-) against the Rags

Dear Red Devil, I'm sorry, I baited you after seeing the mighty Hammers give away yet another lead. I apologise I was being glib and your response was bang on.


I do like BR though, his protestations on not wasting "big money" on Rooney were effing hilarious.


Santa Cruz

Robinho

Adebayour

Milner

Barry

Kolo Toure

Lescott


Cheap at half the price.


Actually that's not really true..........

Entiitled to your views of course but not one shared by the TV pundits at the game, the newspapers

or the players from either side.

    • I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
