I certainly want Arsenal to win the premiership. The thought of Chelsea or you lot winning the CL is too hideous to contemplate and the FA Cup is, of course, the Hammers. But tomorrow it's Brum for me.

I'm all in favour of the current champions league format, but it would still be very odd if a team like Spurs were to win it having never been champions of their own league in the last 40 years. It would be good for Spurs but bad for a competition that seeks to find the best team in europe.

Not sure how you can be in favour of a CL format that allows for the majority of qualifying teams to be non-champions and then say it would be bad for one of them to win it. Maybe there should be a UEFA vetting panel at the semi-final stage. "So, when exactly were you last champions?" "Oh."

Exactly - you can play but you can't get to the final, you don't mind if we put another English team in the final in your place, how about your friends from North London, the red and white team. ;-)



No. my point is that the format is good in that its not just the previous years cahmpions that get into the competition, however to win the CL and never to have won your own league, is not a good result for the competion.

I *think* that this wouldn't have been the case for any English team that's ever qualified

Not validity - just whether its good for the competition, given its name/history etc.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
