If I can remind you of my team for this year. They appear to be top of the Premiership as we speak....and a favour from Spurs tomorrow could make it up to 5 teams with a chance for the title...

Interestingly you can still get >7/1 on Man City to win the league (and 45/1 on Tottenham).

Arf! That really made me laugh. Mac is so smitten with O'Neill.


Really looking forward to today's footy. Obviously I want Spurs to turn Man Utd over but I'd also love to see Liverpool win as well. COYS!

More matches than posts today on the football thread.......poor.


Spurs now 50/1. Seems the market thinks they missed a chance. But surely they are better than 50/1. Worth a pound of Jah's money I would have thought at only 8 points behind.


There seems to be an "assumption" that Man United will improve further and win the league. But who knows.

I think it's good etiquette to not post the results up on here before MOTD for those who do not know the results and want to watch it without knowing what they were. Spoils the enjoyment somewhat otherwise.



Also - Mac, I think Spurs have a better chance of winning the Champions League than winning the Premiership.

Spurs v Mancs was an anti climax, and had spurs gone for it after the loony Rafael was sent off, they would have emerged victorious. As for Rafael, the first offence was a straight red for me, and no different from Gerrards a week back, so he can have no real complaints. But he responed like a Tasmanian devil to his sending off, and Rooney felt obliged to stick his oar in and got a deserved yellow for his trouble.


The saddest sight of the weekend was a dejected Avram Grant at the end of the Arsenal v West Ham game. The sight of the directors sat up in the upper tier like some latter day emperors in a gladitoral arena was sickening. I just hope West Ham don't end up with Allardyce. Mind you O'Neil has exactly set the footballing world alight has he? Spent a fortune at Villa and acheived sod all.

I dunno, if you look at were Villa finished last year (6th) and bar Arsenal spent less than the other 4 in the top 6, then they finished where they should of. Look at where Villa are now. See? No nor do I.


Anyway the situation at West Ham is a disgrace, the last thing we needed were a trio of publicity hungry pillocks lording it over Upton Park. Anyone notice David Sullivan's outfit? It says a lot about the man.


I also can't believe I found myself agreeing with Alan Green the other day when he said, "exactly why does Karen Brady need a newspaper column, is it so she can undermine the manager inside AND outside the club"


I'm beginning to wish for relegation, if only to put those three in their place.

Still, even tho they pontificated loudly about sensible wages last season, their new signing on 90k a week played a blinder on Saturday. A blinder for Arsenal admittedly but even so


They are odious aren?t they? To see people like Grant and O?Neill have to deal with them is unedifying to say the least

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
