@SMG......as I hate quoting a whole bloody post if it's quite long


LO can legally object (and will do if necessary) to either WH or Spurs moving into the stadium due to it's proximity to their ground. It would be a scandal if the stadium did not have an athletics track. Given the crap FIFA dished out with the WC bidding malarky, it would make GB no better with its legacy promises. Why has nobody (it would appear) thought of retractable seating so the running track could be covered for football and taken away for an athletics meet.

Old Orient won't get 40,000 fans but part of the WH bid includes selling tickets for next to nothing to the locals so they can fill it.

Now that did make me smile for the first time this week!! :))

That seems a better option for a club of Orients size.


And those cheap tickets are to be sold through local schools. I think that seems entirely reasonable as football increasingly vanishes off the radar of all but the wealthiest people.

It's all about self interest to all parties though. I have mixed views about leaving Upton Park but recognise that the club can't grow situated where it is. Match days are chaos, one local tube and miles of traffic congestion, I'm sure it puts people off going, along with the prices of course. (?65 for a ticket to see Liverpool, top price but still.)


At least West Ham are doffing their cap to the legacy but still stand to benefit from the tailor made transport network, oh and Westfield for when the footy's shite.


Tottenhams bid is pure self interest as well, with no real link to the legacy. They want a ready made transport link, something that their existing new stadium plans don't have and proximity to Canary Wharf and the City for lucrative corporate sponsorship.


I have a horrible feeling that the city might swing it Tottenham's way.

Well let's face it Chavski have only had any real success in the last 6 years. Interesting to see that their players actually made an effort last night. Do you think the two new arrivals might have something to do with it?

So El-Hadji Diouf has gone to Glasgow Rangers. Good riddance is all I can say. Anything could happen in the Old Firm derby on Sunday if he plays especially seeing as he once got a ban for spitting at a Celtic supporter. So, what I'm wondering is two things. How long will he be able to keep the saliver in his mouth? And at what point in the match will he be sent off?

Will they risk starting him, or has he been taken on just to wind up the Celtic faithful?

Important win for Arsenal last night, of all their remaining matches they only have two "hard" games, Man Utd and Liverpool and both of them are at home - 3/1 odds to win the league look generous - especially as Utd and Chelsea likely to progress in Champions League and Arsenal unlikely to.
I've told you before and I won't tell you again. No no no no no no no no no no Annasfield. NO NO NO NO NO. Just because you don't want Man Utd to equal your title winning record and Liverpool have no chance this season it's no excuse to want the Gooners to win it.

:)) Thanks Anna, may your god go with you.

Unbearable moi Keef? How very fucking dare you! I never said we'd win anything this season but if we do and we're out of everything else it'll be the Champions League and if we win that (unlikely as it may seem to some of you) I think Spurs fans everywhere will certainly have the bragging rights to be unbearable.

Ahem, a win this season would surpass their record...


Personally I like the Spurs and after the years in the wilderness it's nice to see them doing well. COYS (after United of course). Obviously I'd like to see United winning the CL as well but it would be an amazing story if Spurs won it. I'd be happy for them.

    • 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.   
    • 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
