I'm new to this football thread but it's great!


Is Crouchy planning on playing for Man City next season??! After getting us into the Chumps League at the end of last season, he comitted 2 inexplicable fouls to be sent of early at the Bernabeu leading to our exit from the Chumps league and then scored (once again) the deciding goal at the Eastlands. Ah well, in the end we drew too many games and threw away too many leads but that's much better than the dream I had last night that we were relegated!

Considering how many players Spurs had out injured last night I thought we gave a really good account of ourselves despite Crouch's own goal. We were by far the better team, had most of the possession and created more chances. I can't see us beating Liverpool on Sunday on their current form though and the fact that I think we've only won there twice in the last 100 years but quite frankly I'd rather Liverpool got the poisoned chalice that is the Europa League.

Having already qualified for the Europa League, part of me is looking forward to our first European encounter since I was, er, one (Irtysh Pavlodar in the draw please, though it will probably be Llanelli) and part of me is dreading the inconvenience of the whole thing with the odd kick off times, the plethora of Sunday games and trying to work out which Ryanair destination is nearest to Suduva Marijampole.

You're right Jah, really don't know what Mancinis objective was last night, certainly not a win. Yes you set up plenty of chances but the finish was woeful. At least our lads had a rest, we played as though it was the training ground. Play like that on Saturday and Stoke will hurt us good style.

My only conclusion is that Mancini was sure a point would be easily attainable over 3 games. Can't see you beating the Red Di er Liverpool

Good article Mockney and too true. Did anyone read the article by Lee Dixon in the Indie where he went to A West Ham training session and said what an utter shambles it was? Avram Grant is a man functioning way, way way above his ability at West Ham let alone Chelsea. It will be one of football's mysteries how he ever got where he did.


Anyway, I fancy an outing to Palace next season if you're up for it M?

Too right, I was actually telling the mocklet this morning how I'll be taking him to Palace to hear the roar of the crowd and watch some good football.

Which I had to temper a little, considering that it's Selhurst Park, that the crowd will probably murmur rather than roar, and the football will probably be dire, but he's still looking forward to it....not that he had the foggiest idea what I was talking about.


A long winded way of saying, absolutely.

Last time I went to S.Park was 1999 WH v Wimbledon - Hartson had just signed for them and most of the fans in the away end spent the afternoon laughing at one hapless fan who was still proudly wearing his (obviously pretty new) WH shirt with HARTSON on the back. Well it WAS quiet - and i don't remember any goals either.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By Angelina · Posted

      It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.

      NIKO THE PLUMBER

      By DAVID CANNON · Posted

      I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!

      Has your child sat 4+ or 7+ assessments?

      By Mr F · Posted

      I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
