The moment has passed but in my good, bad and the ugly this weekend one of the latter two for this weekend would have been all the empty seats at the New Library.


We are led to believe that there are 1000s that can't get tickets for the Arse.


So the redistribution of spare season tickets is failing let alone people buying season tickets and not going. I only ever missed matches when my parents took me on holiday (yes I was a teenager at the time, when it was a close thing also between football and girls), or on one occasion when my selfish sister got married.


And would offload the spare ticket to a mate, I think this was three matches missed in four years; I'd love an explanation on why for many matches there are thousands of empty seats at the Emirates; I wouldn't be that bothered if they didn't included these as another sell out attendance.

???? and Ots, you've already made predictions for week 17 a couple of pages back. I posted 4 'weeks' worth of fixtures in case people were away over the festive period like LadyGooner. I think I was the only one who didn't do this, preferring single 'week' forecasts. Let me know which predictions you want me to take.


For future reference, I don't mind if anyone wants to amend predictions, as long as it's done before kick-off, and provided it's done on the original post, not a new one, otherwise there's a good chance I will miss it...

For those (bozos) who posted their predictions twice. It would be interesting to see if there was much correlation between guess 1 and guess 2. :)


As regards my top score this week, I can take the ridicule with the same charm as I shall exude when taking the title come May. Look out behind. I'm coming with a late run of form.

I was so 'score-crazed' by the time it came to predicting week three that I predicted without due care and attention - it's a Big 'Arry Management technique from his WH days "It's crazy Garth you know? I'm down to the bare bones this week so, you know, the team picks itself..."


(and sauce natch)


Happy New Year all B)

Refs have always been inconsistent, in that they will allow all sorts of pushing, pulling and general scratching each other's eyes out in the penalty box, yet will give a free kick for the merest hint of 'contact' outside the box...that is until yesterday when Clattenburg give a pen against Norwich for 'holding' a player in the box. I wonder if his fellow refs will follow?..

Interesting little piece with Rob Jones.


When he signed for Liverpool in 1991, he was on ?500 a week, and the most he ever earnt as a player was ?7000 a week before retireing due to injury in 1999. What a difference a decade makes!

It all went bonkers when Seth Johnson of Leeds was allegedly getting ?35k a week, not sure when that was exactly...


ETA..He signed for Leeds in 2001...


The story of Johnson's contract negotiations with Leeds have passed into legend, a chilling damnation of Ridsdale's spendthrift regime. It goes as follows: Johnson had been earning ?5,000 a week at Derby and his agent told him he wouldn't settle for less than ?13,000 a week at Leeds. Ridsdale's opening gambit, however, surprised them both. "Right, I'm sorry, I can only offer you ?30,000 a week," he said. Around the table jaws dropped in genuine shock. "Oh, all right then," said Ridsdale, filling the silence, "?37,000."

Can't wait for glass ankles to get injured, then we'll see just how much you're inclined to mirth. Or will the little boy inside you be crying "mummy"?

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      If you like very good quality South Asian food then Babur in Brockley is offering a well priced, for what it is, Christmas day menu with sensitively priced reductions for a more limited children's menu. They also have a compelling wine list and their specialist cocktails are phenomenal. Not traditional Christmas fare, but then that might be an additional recommendation.

      Is anyone pregnant and due this winter?

      By Elelel123 · Posted

      Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor

      Wanted - table top ironing board

      By Sue · Posted

      I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?
