Some think Liverpool's longer term decline has been down to successive poor managerial appointments.


Interesting now that Liverpools's last three managers are either recently sacked (Rafa) or possibly about to be sacked (Hodgson and Houllier).


Next up Frank Rikjard, if you believe the bookies.



Felt very sorry for Roy Hodgson on MOTD tonight though - he looked very sad and under a lot of pressure. Maybe he is best to start a fresh elsewhere.

Seems like United are being handed the league. It is, of course, early days but I can't see past United drawing their way to the title. Great results from Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Spurs and Liverpool's troubles are just the icing on the cake. Sorry Anna and Keef but I'm sure the feeling would be the same were the roles reversed.

With all the money that Citeh have spent on the squad of players they have, you'd think they'd show some ambition wouldn't you? As Mourinho once famously said, they came and parked the bus. If I were a Citeh supporter I'd be embarrased by last nights performance. Ok Silva, and Balotelli didn't play, but haven't they got enough talent in the squad to challenge for the title? I don'y think they have.

I'm confident we'll turn the Mancs over when they come to us, they are not the side they were. I think we have a very good shout of winning the title, but we'll see. Bye bye woy, cheers Everton, and get in Wolves. Of the aforementioned teams I only have sympathy for Liverpool. Stevie G missing a penalty, are you sure????? If you fancy a move Stevie, we'll have you!!

I wonder in what sense the 'Mancs' are 'not the team they were'. I mean I guess we haven't been unbeaten this far into a season for a long time. I guess we haven't been this many points in front with games in hand for a while but I don't get it. I suppose we'll have to wait for the footballing lesson from Arsenal, the same Arsenal we beat last month and the same Arsenal that's lost three games at home this season already and to the likes of Newcastle and WBA. ;)

Put quite simply Mancs have ridden their luck, principally against Stoke, WBA, and got a lucky goal against us. Lets see how good you are when you come to our place. Rooney has scored one, count em, one goal in open play since March 2010, and he is being paid how much? Mancs haven't won the title yet and won't you look silly if you don't after leading the way. Mind you, Chavski also were clear leaders at one point and look what happened to them. Don't get too smug just yet.

But EC, that's the worrying thing about Man Utd this season. They've been playing pretty badly and are still unbeaten but over Xmas have started to look like a title winning team and are getting into gear. Now that Rooney has broken his duck and has an in form Berbatov for company they are looking like the bookies favourites for a reason.


Arsenal were excellent last night though, and how they didn't score is a mystery. I'm rather worried about my trip to the Library on Sat for the FA Cup.

Look like a title winning team? I don't think they do. They've been lucky and that run will come to an end, hopefully by somone taking a dive in their penalty box to earn a penalty which is converted in the same way Rooney went over like a sack of sh*te when we were on 49 unbeaten run and hopefully knock the smugness out of them.

We'll probably look as silly as Arsenal did when they threw away their Big lead in 1998-99. I'm not smug I was just saying I didn't understand your point. IRS a long way to the end of the season. Rooney is off form and has been for a while, that's not news, as usual we have other goalscorers in the team so it's no great worry. It'll just be a bonus when he gets a bit of form. We'll see, eh.

You're not smug? Ok then, just boring, as your persistent use of the yawn thing demonstrates. Remind me, how much do you pay Rooney again? Obviously not enough to motivate him to score more than once from open play every 10 months eh? You'd be better off not rising to the bait cast for you, as you really do bite big time. Same old Mancs, and before you say it "Yawn"

You must be very hungry as you're biting far too easily, it's no fun having banter with you, you're too easy, just like the women Rooney shags. Boom boom (no pun intended)

Same she can't spell it eh? Have you both got the hump because your respective sides lost last night? Never mind. Could've been worse, you could've been playing Citeh.

      Flat valuations east dulwich

      By Nickystar · Posted

      If you have recently sold your flat in East Dulwich what was the difference between valuation and eventual selling price? I’m finding that agent valuations vary so widely that it’s hard to get any idea of current actual property values.  Are any agents particularly known for overvaluing and by what sort of percentage?

      By F.R. · Posted

      It’s 3 AM - Anyone know when this horrendous noise is going to stop?! We’re on the Sainsbury’s Local end of Landells and am quite frankly sympathising with all of you nearer Peckham Rye. My ears are ringing! How is this ok?!  Edit: According to the website it should have finished by 22:30. What is going on and how is this acceptable (and not more people are complaining about the crippling sound levels we’re being subjected to?) - shocking..

      GALA 2025

      By ms_wilson · Posted

      https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY We live near and it’s absolute hell. The noise of the people coming and going from Peckham is the worse. They are so loud and obnoxious. This is my 5th year of this nonsense. People vomiting in my front garden, urinating in my neighbour’s gardens, throwing food into my garden. Screaming waking up my children while waiting for their Ubers. The people that organise this festival are 100% obnoxious. They told us there would be security along our road (there wasn’t). I asked them to put up my family in a hotel but they wouldn’t. It’s actually a human rights infraction for all of us this badly affected. Over the years I have spent so much money trying to be away this weekend but none of us should have to. The data also shows that most people coming are not local residents - so of 3000 tickets sold, hardly any to residents; it’s easy to argue that it disadvantages us residents way more than any conceivable benefit. My elderly neighbours are besides themselves. Every year the setup and striking of the festival blocks off the park during half term, plus the antisocial behaviour and loud noises mean actual children that live here are prevented from using the park and playgrounds. The police initially rejected the license last year… then suddenly changed their mind with no apparent reason… seems legit. Also the GALA team lie and make false statements in their advertising about consulting with us (they don’t they just tell us what is going to happen then are extremely obstinate and rude). My neighbour runs Friends of Peckham Rye and has been totally distressed by all the damage done to recent planting initiatives funded by the local community. GALA do not repair this, GALA pay off Southwark and then Southwark refuse to confirm what they are paid, or how much (if anything) is spent to repair the park.   This needs to be stopped once and for all!!   Petition asking Southwark to stop providing the license to GALA once and for all.    I mean I am sure they will listen to us just like they did about the LTNs…   https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY
