I agree with Red Devil, nothing about the league can be ascertained until New Year, that's when the points/GD difference matters. Several years ago we were top of the league on Christmas day, by March we were in a relegation battle !

I know I've been a piss taker but I will never forget our ups and downs and downs and downs !

We may be struggling in CL but it's not that many years ago we got beat by Brentford in the Johnstones Paint Trophy. And before anyone says, yet again, how much we have forked out for success- what choice did we have?


EUFA are changing the rules as of next season, if you aint in the top flight by then, you never will be.

Nature of life for a rag, mate. They believe football was born in 1993, the 37 yes 37 years prior to that when they achieved nothing doesn't count.

Why do you bother?...that's exactly the same question I ask myself...banned 3 times but you keep returning for more.

Slowly the veneer of Mr Reasonable is ebbing away, won't be long now before we are in full Atila diatribe mode.

Here's an uncomfortable truth for you...your shiny new trophy cabinet is still empty...

Hang on, so you reckon we won nothing between 1956 and 1993?

Why did it take West Ham 16 years to play 27 european matches? eh ?

Let me explain...

You are saying that you think Citeh will win the PL.

I said you made a similar prediction about Chelski last season and were subsequently proven to be wrong.

I then said that the PL isn't won in November, and quoted L'Arse's collapse last year in February as an example to back up that argument...simple enough for you?

Wind your patronising neck in. Is that simple enough for YOU. The only reason you decided to comment was purely and simply because I've written Man Ure off, and the noisy neighbours will take away your precious. If you can't leave it at that, don't bother. Thats even easier to comprehend I would have thought.

No diatribe from me, better take a long hard look at your postings today, I think you'd win that particular contest hands down.

Dylen McGeouch - I know of his name but that's about it Declan. He's supposedly a bit of a wonder kid. Celtic do have a good youth system which is paying dividends.


Wikipedia has already been updated: CelticMcGeouch made his debut on 6 November 2011 when he came on as a late substitute in a 2?1 win over Motherwell.[2] McGeouch scored his first league goal for Celtic in a narrow 5-0 win over St. Mirren, in which he won a tackle and ran the whole length of the pitch before netting the ball inside the 18 yard box

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!

      if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
