"The Scot's [Dalgliesh] daughter Kelly Cates, a former presenter on Sky Sports News, joked on her Twitter account: "Phew, am exhausted. Just read about something called 'the offside rule'. Too much for my tiny brain. Must be damaged from nail polish fumes."


That made me laugh! All a bit ridiculous in my opinion - all jokes are stereotypes, I think it's gone way over the top.

"Dalglish" ;)


Kenny had a little dig at the sky reporter in yesterday's press conference about it too. LOVE HIM!


I don't think they were joking, but I do think it was out of order. I don't that Gray deserves to be sacked for it.

Is it me or did Blackpool miss out on a nailed on penalty when they were 2 nil up? Who says the refs make decsions in favour of clubs? Well Ian HoLLoway for one. Would have bee interesting to see how things would have turned out if the pena had been given and converted.


Anyway, 3 nil to the Arsenal, 3 goals scored in each of the past 4 games. I'm happy with that.

Well, to counter the "same old shit", I would just like to SHOUT!


Yesterday:


Dulwich Hamlets v Romford (cup tie): 2 - 1 to DH


Man U v Blackpool: 3 - 2 to Man. U.


I watched both of those matches simultaneously last night (DH at home and Man. U in the DH bar!). Both my teams won.


Am I a happy bunny? Do bears crap in the woods? Same old shit?:))

Fergusons face, at any time, cannot be described as a "joy to behold" nor can Wengers, unless you have a perverted sense of beauty.

The biggest mystery of yesterdya evening was why Mark Halsey stopped play after the ball came off of him in the second half and Arsenal looked likely to score. Doesn?t he know the rules? Give me Sian Massey (she of the Andy Gray/Richard Keys incident) any day. Hell, even Charlotte Jackson would probably have a better grasp of the laws of association football than Halsey demonstrated in that incident.

OK, I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. Not a good picture, but come on...just look at that child-like joy upon the man's face! (You need to scroll to very near the end).


As for Wengers, I didn't see the match with Ipswich, but I'd be very surprised if, he too, didn't return home with a big fat grin on his face.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
