Something to do with when he was in Scotland - Gatusso is married to a Scots lady and he used to play for Rangers?

So they exchanged a bit of verbal. You get that all the time. So what. Not only did Gattuso headbutt him but earlier in the game he grabbed Jordon by the throat. Winding players up is part and parcel of the game. Gattuso can dish it out but he certainly can't take it.

I was looking at United's fixture list after the international break and its going to be very difficult. I think over 5 weeks they will play Chelsea 3 times, Arsenal & West Ham away plus City in semi final. Fortunately for them none of these blockbusters are within 4 days of each other but its to be asking a lot. Reminds me a little of the great Arsenal team few years back who had very similar run in when it proved a bit too much and I don't see it being any better for United.


I make it a Chelsea v Barcelona final.

Joe Jordan should have been hung, drawn and quartered after what he did in 1977 in an act of cheating that would have made even Diego Maradona blush. I have no sympathy for Joe Jordan.

Yup, trophyless season for United this season. The run in is too tough for a team that ranges from ok one week to mediocre for the rest of the time. I suppose the FA Cup might be winnable if we get past City. I can't see Chelsea winning the European Cup though.

That second Chelsea goal today was pure class.. they looked a much stronger team with Anelka and Drogba. Torres simply does not look like the electric player he was at Liverpool. If anyone is going to stop United winning title then it's Chelsea as for me the wheels are falling off the Arsenal wagon.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
