Back to the slog of the League...Week 18 Fixtures.

I reckon a few will be tempted with this week's Coupon Buster, Swansea to win at Everton...


QPR V Tottenham

Aston Villa V Southampton

Everton V Swansea

Fulham V Wigan

Norwich V Newcastle

Reading V West Brom

Stoke V Chelsea

Sunderland V West Ham


Man Utd V Liverpool

Arsenal V Man City

Wasn't really expecting a result for Liverpool yesterday, but by the end I was disappointed they didn't get a draw. They were shocking in the first half though, and you can't give Man U a head start! Was good to see a bit of fight in them later on though, and Sturridge / Saurez look as though they will be able to play together...

Looking for some interesting discussion and banter, but all I see in the posts above were predictions. My son's primarly school run a fantasy football league if anyone is interested.


Right, I am now bored of taking the p out of your predictions competition, so wont mention it again, so back to proper football talk.


Interesting in the pricing structure and the talk of free coaches to away matches. A certain non London prem team do that as an occasional treat and have bused 2000+ with a fanfare that creates a nice carnival atmosphere. The same non London team has dropped ticket prices to a sensible ?15 for the FA Cup replay (compared to the ?26 at the first match, at the pride of West London (he says quoting the recent advertising, and stiffling a laugh)).


And to bring discussion to more local matters, Arsenal dropped the away fans tickets to ?26 for the recent match. OK there was still 5000 empty seats in the home areas, but hats off to them for more sensible charging. And to Fulham for the kids for a quid (and hang on for unpopular matches as you can buy tickets for ?15 from ticket master).

Just for malumbu, here are the Week 18 results and table (EP, are you sitting down comfortably?)...



EP - 2 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 8 pts


RD - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts


MM - 2 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 5 pts

JL - 5 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 5 pts


AM - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

LG - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

RC - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

SC - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts


DR - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

Mx - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

OT - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

PD - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts


?? - 2 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 2 pts

Back to usual league form then *sighs and hopes Malumbu doesn't mock in the playground after double geog.*


Putting Irons' gormless display down to 'one of those days', especially after the disappointment of van p's late goal the week before. Hope Potts doesn't take his error to heart too much - could see he was expecting goalkeeper to come and will learn from it. Still think team are short of fire-power.


On a related note - albeit a petty one - I wasn't too bothered by WH's crappy "putting the X into Xmas" slogan (with the X represented by crossed hammers) but am finding the continued use of "Moore than just a football club" sticks right in my throat.

    • I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.  
    • Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
