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

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
