I agree with PD. Get rid of the handshake at the beginning. It's so contrived. It never used to happen. If you feel like shaking the hand of your opponent at the end of the match then feel free to do so but you shouldn't be forced to do it at the beginning of a game.

Indeed, I rest my case.

Mancini has been a bit harsh on Hart imo - If he doesn't want his players criticising the team/performance then he should ban them from giving interviews immediately after games and see how that sits with the tv companies.


I thought it was refreshing to hear Hart's disappointment and anger come through instead of the usual platitudes tv interviewers love (like the follow up with Mourinho with tv idiot desperately trying to get 'the special one' to say he felt sympathy for Man City - plucky losers etc. - only to be met with a typically blunt "No").

My first attempt (I am usually naff at this)


Swansea 1 Everton 2

Chelsea 1 Stoke 0

Southampton 2 Aston Villa 1

West Brom 2 Reading 0

West Ham 3 Sunderland 2

Wigan 1 Fulham 2


Liverpool 2 Man Utd 2 (probably wishful thinking)

Newcastle 3 Norwich 2

Man City 2 Arsenal 2

Tottenham 3 QPR 1

More insightful journalism from Robbie Savage...


It is a fact of life that Liverpool and United fans don?t like each other, but that doesn?t give them a licence, at such a sensitive time after the Hillsborough revelations, to cross the line between rivalry and bad taste.


Lots of people hate having their teeth drilled - but they don?t walk into the surgery singing vile songs about the dentist.


Commuters hate it when they are late for work because their train doesn?t run on time - but they don?t chant abuse at the train driver.


All together now...


You only sing when you're drilling,

sing when you're driiiiiiling,

you only sing when you're drilling


You're late and you know you are,

you're late, and you know you are...

I was at White Hart Lane last night. In what was a very entertaining game that was let down by a very poor Romanian referee. Lazio players constantly got away with niggling fouls on Lennon, Bale and Defoe and we had two legitimate goals ruled out. On top of that Lazio fans were clearly heard from where I was sitting giving a few of our black players monkey chants in the second half. I hope UEFA have taken note and do something about it though I suspect they won't. There was also bit of naughtyness down the Tottenham High Road after the game between rival fans. I think it could be a lot worse in Rome.

The handshake is SUPPOSED to highlight the "respect" campaign, but I fail to see how an enforced, and insincere gesture has anything to do with respect. Get rid.

Echo Otta's sentiment about being crap at this (or I'd be doing the pools - do they still exist?) but as everyone seems to be having a punt...

...maybe the Lawro game should have a thread of its own.


The Anfield panto starts tonight (Ch 5 9pm), wonder how mawkish/intrusive/emotionally-manipulative the prog. will get when it deals with recent events... well it IS channel five...

so that was "Being Liverpool FC"...


hm...


how can I put this...


What a bollock-achingly, wince-inducing, over-stretched, fawning, embarassment of a puff piece.


A sick-making bag of tat.


A massive fucking slobbery love letter from Fox, a real Anfield arse-licking.


They used to make watchable documentary/fly-on-the-wall stuff years ago (remember "Orient - Club For a Fiver"?) but now they (you know, them!) make hour long commercials in the American style.


I have to go and throw up.

I know Liverpool were on top though I'm not sure where their goals were coming from. United played badly and won which just about sums up their season so far. That is apart from losing to Everton who along with Arsenal appear to be the two best teams in the league at the moment.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
