Well done to West Ham last night as nobody else seems to want to mention it. Wouldn't have been too bad for Manc supporters getting home last night as most of then live in London. ;-)

How does it feel when an old boy does that to you? Somebody I know who is a Manc supporter tried to brush the loss off as a mere blip, but I had to point out to him that regardless of the personnel on parade, this was a top versus bottom clash, and therefore pride is a major factor. He wasn't happy.


I went to the home of football to watch a very mediocre afair, but I suppose we won and thats the main thing.

Haha, and slowly the Emerson Crane/Atila the whoever wind-up bus gathers speed.


It was a great result for WH last night. Congratulations and good luck for an extended run at the cup.


It was nice to see Fergie on the touchline, animated, like the days of old, really getting involved.

Anyway, us glory hunters can't be too disappointed with being outplayed and I'm sure that we'll use it as a lesson. That, or we're in terminal decline if you believe certain Gooners on here. :)

Just for clarification, I refer to Arsenal as the home of football, previous posts refer. As for Everton not winning, well nothing new there then.

I find it strange that it took others comments to prompt Manc supporters to grudgingly offer praise to the Hammers for their perforamnce last night. Strange, but not surprising.

Erm, I wasn't online. Unlike you, I don't sit on here waiting to trot out the same tired old lines 24/7.


In fact, I'm beginning to think you are a spambot. That would explain a lot. Also, what was grudging about it. I said they won fair and square and congratualted them. At this point, if it was Arsenal, you would probably be bleating on about how they bullied you into losing, or the weather was a bit cold for your boys. :)

And you have the nerve to say my lines are tired? Touched a nerve yet again have I? Oh yes, and we didn't lose.;-)

Blues making the semi-finals to. And no sweeter way of doing than beating the V*le. Only regret not being able to make it up there this evening. And now I'll have a whiskey in my whiskey and see who we get in the draw.


A quiet encounter in East London awaits. So that's Millwall and West Ham both away in the same week!

Income generation is not to be sniffed at these days PGC, but I take your point


I haven?t liked the finger wagging at the BBC and Times for running the FIFA allegations and the huffy ?the timing hasn?t helped?. No it probably hasn?t but then that isn?t the main consideration if the allegations are true


But let?s assume that corruption is rife and blah de blah, the WC is going to end up SOMEWHERE, so I would be happy to see it here. Then again, if it goes somewhere else I won?t be weeping into my pillow


I?m still recovering from the Gary Linaker story tho

Really hope we get the World Cup, if we don't the next likely date is 2030. Some FIFA officials are no doubt very dodgy but liked the line I heard on the radio the other day "No doubt the BBC will be running a Panorama special on the royal family 3 days before the Royal Wedding".

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
