I suppose because of experience you have to make United favourites now, but not over yet.


Arsenal only 1 point behind Spurs now. I'm no gooner, but when you consider the mess they were in early in the season, you have to admire that. Chelsea not out of the running by any means either.


Perhaps Harry is planning an end of season collapse, so it'll be easier to walk away from Spurs...

It would be an interesting tustle amongst the top five teams. Man City seems to have a problem with their away record. Spurs have dominated matches but can't convert chances made. With Chelsea and Arsenal both capable enough to pull a string of results to qualify for Champions League. City has a better goal difference that Utd, so a run of nine wins and a draw may be enough for them. There are still enough twists for the Premiership race.

Nothing is done and dusted yet, and there are still 10 games to go. I see Dalglish has asked the authorities to long at Wengers cllims that Suarez is a diver and a cheat. Just saying what we all think then. Is this to deflect the fact that despite all of the millions spent and being welcomed home like some long lost son, his performance is not musch better than Woys and he's beginning to feel the heat? He's buckled under the pressure before, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. Just suppose Liverpool lose tonight and Everton go above them, which on previous history is unlikely, would he be under more pressure having spent shed loads and Moyes spent zip?

Suarez isn't in the Ronaldo / Drogba / Klinnsman diving league yet, but he's getting there so I think it's a fair comment from Wenger.


He might have gone ape if someone had said that about one of his players, but that's because there isn't really anyone in the current Arsenal side that makes you think "diver" when you hear their name.

Fair enough, but he has been there a long time, and there have been a few in those years.


I hate seeing dives, and admit that Suarez has taken a couple, and would rather he didn't. I just can't stand the holier than thou attitude of some people, who think that a player in their team's shirt would never do a thing like that.


Anyway, why exactly are we talking about this AGAIN?

Parkdrive/Atila whatever you call yourself these days. Kenny left after Hillsborough having attended many of the funerals and supporting the club and it's fans. Do you seriously consider him to be a bottler for leaving after the stress involved with that tragedy?

I think at his age and given his track record, which is all we have to go by, it's a possibility, that's all I'm saying. But Liverpool fans seem to able to overlook his performance in a way that were never able to overlook Woy's. Unfair treatment if you ask me. Stevie G did the business to cover up the embrrassment of Carrol being, yet again, unable to find his arse with both hands.

Possibly. But its a Cup game, last chance motel situation. Don't think can make that judgement call. Besides, stuff changes with new managers in any workplace, good, bad, indifferent.

I dunno SJ, do we believe that players have so little pride now, that they'd sit back and let results run against them, in order to get a manager sacked? I'm no Chelsea fan, but you'd think they'd have the will to win of any pro sports person.


I also think that a new manager can produce good results, look at Sunderland!

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.

      Dancersize or other middle aged womens' exercise groups

      By Slinkissimo · Posted

      Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!

      I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
