I read an article over the weekend that said Spurs hadn't beaten Utd in 21 PL games, 22 if you count todays game, so I make that 11 seasons ago, the scoreline was 3-1.

I remember very clearly Spurs' last win at OT as I went with a Spurs' supporting friend who was visiting Mcr.

We were standing in the corner of the Stretford End, yes it was that long ago, and despite telling him to keep schtum if Spurs scored, he let out a squeal of delight when Gary Lineker scored his only ever goal from outside the box...I like to think that lots of nervous throat clearing from yours truly prevented him from having his testicles 'surgically removed' and leaving OT with a permanent squeal.


Every team has a blip, I'm sure Spurs will come good and claim 3rd place, 4th place wouldn't be a disaster, just means a couple of extra preliminary CL games...

My experience is nowhere near as as in depth as yours seems to be professor.

And the fact that the purple nosed one is infamous for his mind games, and that this might yet another example of same didn't occur to you no?

For an hour you WERE the better team, but you did an Arsenal, played the better football and got beaten. Thanks for the compliment re our boys. For all of the EDFers that have taken to exception to my my dig at Bale and Suarez, can you honestly tell me you've not had similar digs at players that performed in the same way against your sides. Hypocritical, you lot? Never.

I hate to say it, especially as a supporter of a lower profile club myself, but the main reason one doesn't think 'diver' for Osman, or 'divers' for everton is because people don't really think about Osman or Everton.

Everton doesn't get scrutinised in the same way as Chelsea, Man U et al so it isn't talking point enough to get those dubious sobriquets.


We get things like plucky because we're underdogs. You may not like it but when most people hear 'everton' they think 'liverpool's second team'.

Sorry :-/

Absolutely spot on. I couldn't make that point because it would have been taken as a dig, but it's basically true.

I whole-heartedly agree with you El Pibe regarding scrutiny. With the increased scrutiny for the higher profile cubs comes a counter-balance, they get more favourable decisions from referees. Thus, as fan of a lower profile club, I will lose no sleep over pointing the finger at serial cheats, Suarez for example.

I'm sure your sentence is equally valid Parkdrive (as a sentence) without the 'no' at the end. It's content is another thing though.SAF spoke about this effect years ago when he witnessed it firsthand.

Dunno, but don't think it would necessarily be a bad thing. England can't lose, because they have no chance of winning really, so a caretaker coach can go with low expectation and see what happens.


By the way, why does the BBC website continue to give a platform for Terry Butcher to spout his out dated drivel?

Pearcey is probably the only one with experience in getting an England team to the final. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jun/29/england-under-21s

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      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.
