If I can remind you of my team for this year. They appear to be top of the Premiership as we speak....and a favour from Spurs tomorrow could make it up to 5 teams with a chance for the title...

Interestingly you can still get >7/1 on Man City to win the league (and 45/1 on Tottenham).

Arf! That really made me laugh. Mac is so smitten with O'Neill.


Really looking forward to today's footy. Obviously I want Spurs to turn Man Utd over but I'd also love to see Liverpool win as well. COYS!

More matches than posts today on the football thread.......poor.


Spurs now 50/1. Seems the market thinks they missed a chance. But surely they are better than 50/1. Worth a pound of Jah's money I would have thought at only 8 points behind.


There seems to be an "assumption" that Man United will improve further and win the league. But who knows.

I think it's good etiquette to not post the results up on here before MOTD for those who do not know the results and want to watch it without knowing what they were. Spoils the enjoyment somewhat otherwise.



Also - Mac, I think Spurs have a better chance of winning the Champions League than winning the Premiership.

Spurs v Mancs was an anti climax, and had spurs gone for it after the loony Rafael was sent off, they would have emerged victorious. As for Rafael, the first offence was a straight red for me, and no different from Gerrards a week back, so he can have no real complaints. But he responed like a Tasmanian devil to his sending off, and Rooney felt obliged to stick his oar in and got a deserved yellow for his trouble.


The saddest sight of the weekend was a dejected Avram Grant at the end of the Arsenal v West Ham game. The sight of the directors sat up in the upper tier like some latter day emperors in a gladitoral arena was sickening. I just hope West Ham don't end up with Allardyce. Mind you O'Neil has exactly set the footballing world alight has he? Spent a fortune at Villa and acheived sod all.

I dunno, if you look at were Villa finished last year (6th) and bar Arsenal spent less than the other 4 in the top 6, then they finished where they should of. Look at where Villa are now. See? No nor do I.


Anyway the situation at West Ham is a disgrace, the last thing we needed were a trio of publicity hungry pillocks lording it over Upton Park. Anyone notice David Sullivan's outfit? It says a lot about the man.


I also can't believe I found myself agreeing with Alan Green the other day when he said, "exactly why does Karen Brady need a newspaper column, is it so she can undermine the manager inside AND outside the club"


I'm beginning to wish for relegation, if only to put those three in their place.

Still, even tho they pontificated loudly about sensible wages last season, their new signing on 90k a week played a blinder on Saturday. A blinder for Arsenal admittedly but even so


They are odious aren?t they? To see people like Grant and O?Neill have to deal with them is unedifying to say the least

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks
