Agree. There is too much emphasis on attack, and not enough credit is given for a good defensive performance. I wish Utd could put one in.

Stats can lie, or perhaps a better description would be mislead. If you looked at the stats for the Barca game in isolation without knowing the score, how many would've predicted such a close scoreline?

I think Celtic will do well to hold onto Wanyama...

Who will be this weeks coupon buster?

I reckon QPR, after Arsenal decide to fly to The Emmirates from their training ground, thus suffering the effects of jetlag again...


Aston Villa 2 Norwich 1

Arsenal 1 QPR 2

Reading 1 Fulham 1

Stoke 2 Sunderland 1

Wigan 3 West Ham 2

Man City 3 Swansea 1


A proper Super Sunday...


Everton 1 Liverpool 1

Newcastle 2 West Brom 1

Southampton 1 Tottenham 2

Chelsea 0 Man Utd 1

...as an aside, happy that I am there's a fair few of us on here, I'm still a bit surprised that the EDF Football Focus has more Irons regulars (EP, Maxxi, Rhinestone, 'bout now and me) than any others (Arsenal gets a bit close)...we must like it down here in bandit country :)

It's where all the nice ladies bints live...


or maybe we just have more bunny* because banging on about the footy is our substitute for winning a trophy (would explain why the last comment in the 'life outside the premiership' thread was back in May... and was about the Irons' promotion!)



*Returns to lounging outside Dagenham Heathway Shopping Centre saying "Cor!" and shaking head at the shocking repointing above the charity shop.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

      Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?

      Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
