Now you know the feeling we Gooners (generally) carry over Spurs


It's all warm, lovely and we keep it to ourselves


Enjoy, it won't last.

Possibly because Spurs have only just confirmed in the past few days that'll we'll definitely be playing at Wembley next season. Spurs playing West Ham at the Tax Payer's Stadium on Friday night should be a cracker. Our third London derby in a row... or fourth if you include Watford.

Not sure why the uncertainty, TV showed an aerial view of the new and old grounds, and it doesn't look like the new stadium can be finished without first knocking down WHL. Anyways, a very dominant performance by Spurs. Too soon to say if there's a power shift in North London, but Spurs definitely have the better team right now, both on and off the pitch.

Another disappointing home draw for us, think we should just concentrate on the EL and forget about top 4...

Celtic fans know how you feel. Probably because it was only 5-1 and only 36 points. Noone likes to see that.

Even I was a bit embarrassed by the coverage we got, but wasn't practically everything else (relegation/Champions/Champions league etc) settled by then so the media had a bit of an overkill? - the club also produced some decent 'content' (yuk) in terms of films etc - pity they aren't as good at buying players :(


PS Plus a little bit of old school shenanigans to finish the day off - not sure Spurs will get 20,000- 30,000 showing up without tickets but just to say goodbye

I don't think we'll stop your momentum this year to be honest - of course if we hadn't conceded 2 goals in the last 2 minutes at WHL both of our seasons would be over now whereas we both need a result!

Good stuff - still on roughly the same spot (and in that case I can understand there not being a huge good bye)

Fair play. That's your little cup final won. And you deserved to win. No complaints here. We were never going to win the league anyway but I suspect we'll still finish second. And if you'd said to me at the beginning of the season you'll finish second I'd have bitten your hand off. As Arsenal fans were always keen to remind us - "mind the gap."

      Interested to know dog owners opinion

      By Bernadette 12 · Posted

      Hello,  I am interested to know people's opinion regarding dogs left tied up outside shops.  As I am hoping most dog owners are aware of how high risk it is now for dog theft.  People's houses are targeted for dog theft, even waiting to have a dog out in their back gardens, even for few minutes, to steal.  This is a very common occurrence now, as is breaking into properties to steal dogs.  The reasons behind dog theft varies, from using to breed, sell on, to use to sit whilst asking for money, (obviously not all people asking for money are dog thieves & may well own their own dog) and for dog bait for fighting.  This is not me being a drama queen, it is there for anyone to research regarding dog theft.  So would you leave your dog tied up outside a shop?

      Gyms in dulwich

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      I don't know if any of the cricket or tennis clubs also have little gyms. There are also pilates studios on Melbourne Grove, Blackwater St, North Cross Rd and even the community hall of the church on Calton Ave. The David Lloyd gym in Orpington is very luxurious and expensive.

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      HI CPR Dave, I have to agree with Dogkennelhillbilly. We still have net migration into the country as per the Office of National Statistics- https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration It may go negative in a year or two if pundits specialising in this are correct, but it isn't yet. Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, I don't think your maths is correct. Southwark Council states total empty homes at 8,588 -https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/housing/southwark-has-over-8500-empty-homes/ the total number of homes is 135k. Which means 6.36% are empty. However, while canvassing came across an empty home which does not appear to have been appreciated by Southwark Council who are now investigating whether the empty Home Council Tax Premium should have been applied for the last 10+ years. It seems likely the 8,588 is under reporting the number of empty homes.  Infill sites are defined by most public bodies was non strategic sites from a development perspective. The railway yard and other sites are in the Southwark strategic plans and thus would not be infill sites.  Tall buildings planted into lower surrounding suburban areas is a subjective matter whether they are viewed as out of character for the area. It is factually true that I think they are out of character. Equally you have no qualms about such tall buildings being planted into the SE22 area.
