Haven't heard such jealousy fuelled pony since Mr Abramovich bought the club. A team has been built which is far better than the light blue notherners buying every player in sight just so other clubs cant buy them, and have no intention of playing them. Anyway, Up the Blues, good win today.

Abramovich and his ilk are bad for football, sooner he goes on to other things the better.


Fabrice Muamba is howing small signs of improvement according to Sky, breathing on his own and small signs of movement in his limbs. Here's hoping and praying for a full and speedy recovery.

Great night of football, City turn over the Chavs, Spuds draw and the Arsenal win and go above them agftrr being 10 points behind. Mind the gap indeed. ;-) And where to start with Liverpool? I bet Hodgson is having a quiet chuckle to himself. And more importantly Fabrice Muamba is getting better, please god.
The race to the premiership title and champions league places is getting exciting. Interesting to see if Spurs get fourth place over Chelsea and sets up nicely for their clash this weekend. Man City appears to have some fight in their belly and I'd expect the title race to go to the wire.

Plenty of us about and majority are Manc exiles not plastics ;)

Fans allegencies at this time of the season can get notoriously complicated.

The fans cheering the Citeh goals may well have been Chelsea/Utd haters, but they also might have been Arsenal/Spurs fans wanting Chelsea to lose more than Citeh winning, because of the Champs League situation.

When two of Utd's rivals are playing each other I tend to hope for a draw, that way both teams drop points.

It's not always that easy though, when Citeh and Liverpool played in the recent Carling Cup semi, a draw was never going to happen, someone had to go through, so it came down to which team did I want to lose the most, rather than wanting one of them to win ;-)

Don't think so - there was little/no reaction when the Arsenal and Spurs latest scores came on screen and the ManC cheers had definite joy in them rather than schadenfreude (it's all in the "Yuuuuueeeessss!!!!!") - they all seemed pretty happy about Tevez's set-up too ("He's back! He's back!!").

I don't think City fans have come out of the woodwork at all - I still find them pretty rare in London in comparison to Utd fans.


The worst I found for coming out of the woodwork were Chelsea fans when Abramovich brought the club. Suddenly the world and his dog were Chelsea fans. I also partly blame Tim Lovejoy for this as well ;-)

Love that Otta. B)

If that doesn't fit the profile of a 'glory hunter' I don't know what does ;-)

To be fair, I think this applies to any club that has a degree of success, success of course being relative. I'm sure during and after their recent FA Cup exploits there were more Stevenage fans walking around the town centre in their club's shirt, sharing in the civic pride.

????'s is right to suspect there will be more Citeh shirts on view in the future, success = glory hunters, it's more to do with human nature rather than specific clubs.

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
