I thought you were just hungover Mick.

Is everyone doing a Maxxi this week, or just waiting until someone 'goes first'?

Anyway, here's the fixture list, don't forget the Everton game is this week's Coupon Buster...(s)he who dares


Arsenal v Fulham

Everton v Sunderland

Reading v Norwich

Southampton v Swansea

Stoke v QPR

Wigan v West Brom

Aston Villa v Man Utd


Man City v Tottenham

Newcastle v West Ham

Chelsea v Liverpool

What are peoples thoughts on Peter Herbert and the Society of Black Lawyers deciding to turn attentions to Spurs and the Yid Army chants?


For me, I think this particular case is very different, it's historic, and it was said in defiance at abuse from other fans. I know that not everyone who chants it is Jewish, but it's part of the club's unique identity.


Peter Herbert is quite rightly using recent news stories to highlight certain things and make sure that things are dealt with by the law, but I think he's overreaching here to be honest.

He's got a point I have to say, if people were chanting the N word, would we be equally blas??

Spurs have turned the use of Yids as an insult on its head - is that a bad thing ? I see also Ajax adopted the same approach some years ago.


Surely it is down to the fans of the club what they want to call themselves?


I have no idea who Peter Herbert is ( apart from the ref. above) but he seems to be cropping up a great deal at the minute

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
