I hear Curbs is in the frame too. They won't hire Bilic (too strong/opinionated) as they need a yes man they can pay peanuts to, one with the reputation as a 'nice guy' (another Roeder in fact) - step forward Mr Hughton.

Man Citys FA Cup winning trophy bus parade starts in Manchester City Centre then through Ancoats, Beswick, then onto the COMS ...... The Rags bus parade starts at Pall Mall, via Westminster past Big Ben, then to down Surrey across to Devon and Cornwall, then over to Dublin, Belfast and a quick visit to Wales via Korea and Japan!

Incredible as it may sound, the rumour of Warnock to WHU refuses to die the death. It appears his position at QPR is not rock-solid, never mind that they led the Championship from first to last. Given how venal and stupid the people who own/run football clubs can often be, I don't find this story totally unbelievable. I cannot though see Colin wanting to give up managing QPR in the Premiership willingly all the same - he has something to prove at that level I reckon. And at his time of life you'd not think even a blank cheque - despite his being a Yorkshireman and therefore never taking brass less than seriously - would attract him back to the Championship with WHU. The current owners of the latter oversaw Birmingham getting back to the Premier at the first attempt after being relegated and maybe that's their plan here too - but I reckon the Charlton scenario may be just as likely.

So Ba was too tired to sign an autograph... these must be Spurs fans stirring it... what hammers fan in his right mind wants an autograph from the current crop of wage thieves?


As for Warnock NO! ANYONE but him. Bilic for preference but I'd even take Mark Robins over nelly warnock.

No worries. If Liverpool win next weekend Spurs will probably lose at home to Birmingham and that'll fcuk 'em up. Arf! "Europa League, no one likes it and we don't care."

FA Youth Cup Final 1st Leg, Sheff U v Man U


I know there's a Blades fan here. You might like to read this. Very impressive crowd. I believe Manchester beat Newcastle 1-0 en route to the Final who in turn had knocked out Dulwich Hamlet 6-2 (though it was level at HT, I think). I think the 2nd leg is on Monday.


Found the highlights. One fantastic goal. Scroll down the right to find it

      In the past such details have always been described as commercially sensitive, which they possibly are. So we've never really known what the deals actually were. And whether they represented value for money for the council, and hence us.

      Apologies if this has been asked before. But has the council posted any black and white facts about what income gala brings in and therefore what it funds in the long term?    appreciate it causes a commotion for a few weeks but if it brings in enough revenue to fund the park being a nice place for the rest of the year it feels worth it.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By DulvilleRes · Posted

      This is a fair point Glemham, although I don't think it is as straightforward as it looks. In essence, the Scheme of Estate Managment 'tithe' goes into maintaining the area, and the costs associated with that, such as planning consents and the like, and as you rightly point out, is ostensibly ring fenced.  However, it seems likely to me that the results of the 'tithe' would impact on the level of commercial rents the Dulwich Estate are able to command, and how much they get when they sell off a piece of land - it is after all a prime area. The 'tithe' is in my view ultimately, even if indirectly, a contributor to the Estate's ability to generate a surplus.  Of that surplus, 85% is directed at the private schools, which seems at odds to me with the spirit of simple instruction of the original Edward Alleyn will to 'educate 12 poor scholars' He didn't suggest they should go to Eton on bursaries. I think the Estate need to be doing far more for local state schools, who are all struggling with estraordinarily tight budgets. I also feel on a personal level uneasy in potentially contributing in any way to an institution such as Dulwich College where the question can be asked - are they struggling to manage successive generational waves of toxicity? The evidence that the Guardian has amassed from the Farage period looks pretty damming to me, and I find the more recent allegations deeply unsettling, although clearly they have been subject to less scrutiny.

      Thanks Joe. Sorry to the poster of that thread if it was my comment. It was just that none of it made sense to me.
