In the second half Utd couldn't get the ball, surprised Fergie didn't stiffen up the midfield, sure he would have played Park if he had been fit. Chelsea did really well to battle back into it. Ref had an awful game.


I think Arsenal should win the league, have a much easier run in than Utd who will drop quite a few more points so Arsenal will never have a better chance, as long as the can keep their nerve.

And don't keep having players ruled out through injury. If football was just about keeping your nerve, then Mancs should have been able to do so and win last night. What happened to that famous nerve they are supposed to possess in abundance and pundits always insist they, and no other team, have?

Agree about the midfield. Carrick needs to pull his socks up or he'll be out in the summer, some of his passing was terrible. I'm not sure we'll drop a lot more points but games at Liverpool and Arsenal and the home game against Chelsea are not going to be easy.

At Wigan the ref made one wrong decision on an off the ball incident he didn't see properly, Rooney should have been sent off. Last night the ref, with a clear view of the action made several poor decisions.


Emerson, the idea is it is supposed to be a debate not a slanging match. You could have argued "on paper Arsenal have the easier run in but I am worried the injuries/number of games/perhaps lack of experience etc will mean we will slip up when we are not expecting it".


The fact is Arsenal do have the much easier run in, even with a few players out (as Utd have), most matches you should win, so for me the debating point is "can Arsenal keep their nerve" - I would be saying exactly the same if it were Spurs, City or Liverpool in Arsenal's position now - I wouldn't be saying it if it were Chelsea because they have been there and done it recently.


You are welcome to join the debate and talk about Arsenal's chances in some detail or you can just carry on slagging off Utd, which might be cathartic for you but doesn't take a debate about who might win the league any further.

He posted an opinion about last night's game which wasn't "derogatory, insulting or inflammatory" yet you decided to respond in the way you did (knowing full well it would get a reaction). Then everyone else jumps on board and has a go. I don't really see that as fair and as I've said before, it reminds me of play ground bullying to be honest.


But there we go.

Ok lets have it straight here. Nerve is something the Arsenal are ofetn accused of not having enough "nerve", so I commented on that, also stated that I thought it a bit rich that Ferguson has a pop at a ref for not getting a decision when he clearly did in the game before. As Anna has been kind enough to point out, I didnt use derogatory lanuage as JAh Lush chose to, and then has nerve to point the finger at me. For your info, I think we've got an "ok" chance of winning it, but the number of injuries are conspiring against us.


As always, thanks Anna for the voice of sanity in this playground. As for holier than thou!!! Oh please.

And we all know who can be relied upon to come up with the "yawn" stupidity don't we.

You know what Jah time after time you've shown yourself to be a real piece of work, and yet again you are a model of consistency. You are one of worst offenders on here and yet you resent being told that you are. Now go and have a play in the sand pit with the rest of your friends in the creche.

Congratulations!!! You win this years award for the most patronising post.

I've asked this before, but noone answered, so I'll try again. Being as you have all now been shown how to ignore posts by anyone you want, why don't those who find Emerson offensive, just put his posts on ignore, and hd can do the same. I've said time and again, that Emerson is often his own worst enemy on here, getting way too wound up over a game. But, as ever, he made a point this morning, admittedly in his own special way, but not in an offensive way, that was followed by "same old Atila, yawn" (which by the way, is incredibly annoying). Only then did he respond, and yet he gets all the blame. Emerson is at least as guilty as anyone, and really needs to turn the other cheek sometimes, but to suggest he's the only responsible party, is bullshit!

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
