The thing about that is that Ireland were fortunate to be playing France at that stage. They had previoulsy got a very very dubious penalty which got them to that stage, so lets not forget that before we go the route of accusing others of cheating. He who lives in glass houses and all that >>>>>

You obviously don't agree and if you're Irish all I can say is get over it. I watch my club week in week out, not my country, nor do I spend time, money and emotion following the fortunes of my country, so take a wild guess and guess where my loyalties lie. Club versus country is a nonsense.

All said and done though. I bet he can still do the business. Watching MOTD last night Arsenal's finishing was woeful. They could have had a hatful in the first half and it would have been game over. I think it's very astute of Wenger to bring him back even if it's only for a few months. I remember when Jurgen Klinsman came back to Spurs and he saved us from relegation with his goals and his vast experience. It can only rub off on the younger players and they can learn from him.

I'm neither gooner nor Irish but know those who are and was only wondering if the wave of anger against TH at the time (by some Ir Gnrs) was in the safe and certain knowledge that he could be hated as he was no longer one of their own and whether this recent turn of events had left any with words to eat?


I remember having to eat a sackful when previous Gooner hero Ian Wright signed for WH - the cheating, goal-hanging, over-rated clogger became a talented, graceful, prolific goal scorer with the instincts of a world class striker almost overnight.


p.s. - 9700 btw.

Obviously I think the guy is a god, but lets try and be objective here. Did the nation that had the very very very dodgy penalty awarded against them, which gave the Irish the opportunity which they duly converted, gave them the chance to face France, make as much fuss as the Irish did about the Henry incident? Do they also continually refer to it in the same way that the English do about the Maradonna incident (lets not forget the little swan dive Michael "the bench warmer" Owen went in for against Argentina some years later eh?) Do the Brazilians carp on about the way Pele was disgracefully kicked out of a world cup decades back? If they do, then I would repeat my previous advice to move on. But I'm not sure they are that bothered.

Have to admit he's gone great so far.


I was at White Hart Lane tonight and the Baggies parked the proverbial bus in front of our goal. I knew wouldn't be easy and was nervous as hell before the game and would have settled for the one-nil. Three more points in the bag though. Anyway, we play our game in hand against Everton next week. Win that and I think we can safely assume we won't be relegated this season.

I have to agree Sunderland are a different looking team now! Martin O'Neill - awesome!


Sunderland play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next and having just looked are a massive 9/1 to win! I fancy a couple of quid on a Manchester City repeat against a troubled Chelsea team!

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
