Hey I've just dug up the interesting bit - who cares if he wraps it up with some praise for Lampard ;-)


Bottom line is, Fletcher, who was given the run around by 18 year Aaron Ramsey last weekend, is talking as if he is a match for elite midfielders. I've got nothing against Fletcher but hell he'd not even get in the Everton or Spurs midfield! Some might say it's ambitious talk, I say his head is in the clouds!

What's gone wrong at the Hammers?


Apart from bad luck, bad buyout and impending financial(again) doom.


James Collins


I think we sold a guy that made Upson good, a real blood and thunder centre half, not pretty (like Terry), but effective.

We will not go down though, much worse around us.




Honest!

Agree on Collins - rumour is we had to sell him as we were hoping to unload Davenport but 'events'. I just don't like looking around for teams that look weaker than us - Wolves and Pompey maybe but then!!! Next week's a crucial one and we've certainly been a bit unlucky at home to Liverpool, Spuds and Everton and careless away at Hull and Sunderland! I guess we've got most of the bottom teams to play still at home but I'm a bit worried about games we could have won or got something out of but haven't...aparently the finacial situation is getting a bit better. I think Upson will go in Jan though.

Hull's penalty for the 3rd goal was an absolute joke decision. When will referees begin to understand that in giving a penalty, they are giving a goal... and you don't give a goal for two players bumping into each other on the edge of the box, neither of them even in possession of the ball.

Liverpool very flat yesterday - barely testing Shay Given. Players were up for it, and City were there for the taking, but the system of putting everything through an unfit Gerrard was too easy to defend. I'd been hoping to see Aquilani or Riera brought on with 5 minutes to go as we pushed for victory but Rafa decided to replace the tired Yossi with another left back.


I've been told that Rafa's contract contains a clause that should Liverpool fail to make the last 16 of the CL he can be dimissed by the Yanks for ?5m (max) (rather than the full ?15m to ?20m).

Just making some observations Mick - I'd not trespass on your territory ;-)


We saw Shay Given on our train yesterday, he looked quite depressed, and looked suicidal when he had a photo with our group! Haha. Although he did have the humour to say Mark Hughes had told them at end of match that City 'should have won' the game.

      Aroma Lab

      We had a take-away from Aroma Lab last night. I was impressed, utterly delicious stir fried tofu and sweet and sour chicken. Generous portions too… will definitely make a habit of eating their home-cooked food.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Moovart · Posted

      I think that's a big assumption.  Many people vote for the candidate precisely because they are a member of a particular party and represent that party's policiies.  I personally didn't know who McAsh was in the last election, but I knew what party he represented.  When politicians don't act "morally" what are we to think of them and their motivations? But I think there will be people who want to vote Labour, don't know that McAsh has defected and accidentally vote Green precisely because they do vote for the name.  Yes, you could say they need to read the ballot paper more carefully but it's possible to see one thing and not notice another.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
