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.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
