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.

      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
