Let's be fair you need a sense of humour to support Spuds, especially after the collapse at the end of the season and bearing in mind it was touted by many as being your best season for years and our was meant to be our worst for years. Mind the gap/sack (just for you 'arry)

So, it's official AVB is the new Spurs coach. I'd like to wish him all the very best and hope that the board, players and fans alike give him more time to work his ideas than he was allowed at Chelsea and hope and pray that he will bring great success to our club but if he starts doing all that squatting on his haunches in his dirty mac on the touchline I'll be the first to shout "sack him." COYS!
I wish him well. He was given a bum deal at Chelsea. I reckon his mandate to change them was suddenly reviewed when those highly paid footballers stopped playing. Amazing they could play after he left. I hope there are less big egos at Spurs and more openmindness to whatever his ideas are. Only time will tell. I am surprised by the appointment though. I'd have thought Martinez would have been perfect for Spurs. He after all got Swansea playing the way they do before Rogers came on the scene.

I know, the irony of that was lost on the 'pool supporters who were complaining that Martinez wasn't good enough for LFC...

Too early for me to start self-inflicting that kind of pain - I am now in cricket mode and shall remain so until August when I will probably start by ridiculing the chances of visiting Villa.

I imagine a lot of pool fans will watch with interest how AVB gets on, as he was constantly mentioned before Rogers was appointed. If Spurs do well, and Rogers struggles for an impact, will the fans start to tell the board they should have splashed out on the bigger name...


I too wish AVB luck, and hope he gets the respect of the dressing room!

Fifa world rankings - top 20

What a bloody joke!

I heard on the radio this morning that the Glazers are floating $100 million worth of their Utd shares on the NYSE, about ?54m.

The money raised could be earmarked to reduce their debt or cover the cost of summer transfers, but more importantly for Utd fans it gives the club a realistic market value, and hopefully is a pre-cursor for the Glazers to sell up and ride the fook out of town...

The trouble with knockout competitions such as World Cup and the Euros, is that England mainly lose one big match every two years. Their record therefore looks very good in general.


Whatever way the world rankings work (and I don't know) I think they fail to give sufficient bonus points to countries that get to WC and Euro semis and finals, which in general England don't achieve.


To have England above Italy and Netherlands takes some doing. Therefore something is wrong in the logic somewhere.


But then its maybe not that different from Luke Donald and Lee Westwood being world golf number 1, having never won a major. Maybe we have to accept that this is how rankings work.

I you can't win the league in one place.............move country.


I just looked this league up as I was curious how it was possible for a team to win it and be relegated in the same season. I was a little surprised to see the table for the 2nd half of the season.

    • 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. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
