Whats your point, mine was that neither side went for the win for fear of losing, yours is?

My point - shared by most of the newspapers and the comments from players from both sides -

is that it was that it was Utd who were looked to be pushing for the win in the second half,

with City much the happier to take a point. I'm certainly not saying Utd went gung ho for it

as Berbatov would have stayed on the pitch when Hernandez came on.


I think Utd were there for the taking, shame not to see City go for jugular.

Either way it was a crap match and I'm more inclined to agree with Emerson on this one but you're right they were there for the taking.

Given Man U have been decidedly average this season for the most part and are still in the race only improves their chances I think. I don't think they can get any worse. If they hit form the others will have to too. I have a suspicion that Chelsea may have just gone over the hill though Man U may not have quite enough to be worthy champions either. Pretty average all around really.

No, but nor do I post sectarian poison on here either. While my predictions may be amusing to some, your sectarian rubbish isn't.

I was at White Hart Lane on Saturday and once again Gareth Bale immense. We played some great football and could have won it seven-nil but then we let in two stupid goals at the end.

Watched Sunderland batter Chelsea yesterday and they thoroughly deserved their win. Makes the Spurs result last Tuesday look quite respectable now.

Tell me about it, Danny was superb, but then again the whole Sunderland team were superb, performance of the season so far.

I don't think Hernandez is a starting player at the mo, that's twice I've seen him start a match and not have much impact. Although he's not much helped by the return of Berbatov'z flailing hands in the air histrionics. The stage is set for the Rooster to save the day and all will be forgiven.

Looks like the League is up for grabs again this season, I think the 'top' teams are weaker, but credit has to go for the so called lesser teams, on their day they are more than capable of giving them a bloody nose.

This season has been refreshing with the so called lesser lights putting in some great performances. Lets hope it goes all the way to the 38th game of the season, rather rather fizzle out after 30 or 32 games. I've watched Sunderland live a few times this season, and to be honest yesterdays result was not a huge shock, they've played well enough to suggest they can turn over a team in that manner.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

      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....
