Agree. There is too much emphasis on attack, and not enough credit is given for a good defensive performance. I wish Utd could put one in.

Stats can lie, or perhaps a better description would be mislead. If you looked at the stats for the Barca game in isolation without knowing the score, how many would've predicted such a close scoreline?

I think Celtic will do well to hold onto Wanyama...

Who will be this weeks coupon buster?

I reckon QPR, after Arsenal decide to fly to The Emmirates from their training ground, thus suffering the effects of jetlag again...


Aston Villa 2 Norwich 1

Arsenal 1 QPR 2

Reading 1 Fulham 1

Stoke 2 Sunderland 1

Wigan 3 West Ham 2

Man City 3 Swansea 1


A proper Super Sunday...


Everton 1 Liverpool 1

Newcastle 2 West Brom 1

Southampton 1 Tottenham 2

Chelsea 0 Man Utd 1

...as an aside, happy that I am there's a fair few of us on here, I'm still a bit surprised that the EDF Football Focus has more Irons regulars (EP, Maxxi, Rhinestone, 'bout now and me) than any others (Arsenal gets a bit close)...we must like it down here in bandit country :)

It's where all the nice ladies bints live...


or maybe we just have more bunny* because banging on about the footy is our substitute for winning a trophy (would explain why the last comment in the 'life outside the premiership' thread was back in May... and was about the Irons' promotion!)



*Returns to lounging outside Dagenham Heathway Shopping Centre saying "Cor!" and shaking head at the shocking repointing above the charity shop.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
