yep - When I first saw the fixture list I thought if we had points in double figures by now we'd weather the on-coming storm of playing the bigger boys - yet this was inevitable and clear to abso-fucking-lutely EVERYbody since before the transfer window closed - in fact since ?5m was spent on Downing in mid August.

You mean like Yanited and CSKA Fulhan fans, maybe. But we ARE top of the league currently, and do have a paper thin squad with loads of injuries and "unproven" players in the Prem. What a shit start to the season, a real crisis at the Arsenal.

Good result for the pool yesterday. The form book said it should have ended that way, but I was worried Sunderland might respond to DiCanio's sacking with a win. For their part, they looked reasonably decent, and I don't think they're necessarily doomed.


Plus they've got Man U next week, so can start getting some points on the table ;-)

On a serious note RD, don't you think Ferdinand is well past his sell by date, he's been woeful recently.

I don't think Rio or Vidic can play week in, week out, which is what they have been doing under Moyes. After they pickied up serious injuries, Fergie would alternate one of them with Evans/Smalling/Jones. They only tended to play together in the really big games.

I'm more concerned with the lack of zip the team has as a whole. We're usually sluggish starters, and kick-on from the new year. But the performances against Liverpool (away), City and West Brom were worse than sluggish. I read in the summer how some of the players were saying that the training sessions were more 'intense' than under Fergie. So I'm wondering whether that is having a detrimental effect, esp on the older players like Rio...

I don't understand at all why Rio is being played so much. Evans is a much improved player than a couple of seasons ago and Rio has looked like he's feeling it (playing so many games). Also Jones by most accounts should be a centre half but rarely gets played there. Nani is a waste of space to me and I'd like to see Zaha given a go. I thought Ashley Young was a good buy initially but he hasn't come up with the goods. The one positive is that Rooney is playing well and perhaps he is being helped by the more intense training sessions.


In a perverse way it's sort of good to be talking about United having problems as all the ABU's are delighted. I'm looking forward to seeing how Moyes gets it right.

No there wasn't. There's been a lot of talk about Barkley for a few years now, and from his performances this season it's totally justified. I'm just wondering why Moyes spent so much time trying to sign Baines, who IMO wasn't essential as Evra is still one of the best LB's in the PL, and Fellani, whilst right under his nose at Everton was Barkley, the type of creative midfielder we're crying out for. Anyway, I hope he continues to have a good season esp with WC looming, assuming we quailify first...

Outstanding, immense, classy. I was privileged to watch a stunning performance by the Arsenal last night. Ozils finish was sublime, his performance was class, Giroud immense, Ramsey outstanding. Not bad for a lad who had his leg snapped by the Orcs. Back four were solid, Flamini had his "they shall not pass" head on. If Gibbs had a right foot he could have had 2 goals, best atmosphere for a long long time.


On a seperate note it's interesting that according to many so called experts and pundits, prior to yesterdays game, Arsenal had not yet been tested. So Tottnum weren't a test, says a lot about them then.

Napoli aren't exactly testing though are they? Surely not. Having said that I have to admit it was a quality performance from the Wanderers. They are looking very impressive at the moment. Most Arsenal fans I know always thought Ramsey was crap and I said he'd come good. Look at him now. He's turned into some player hasn't he.

Always though Arsenal fans were too harsh on Ramsey


As well as That Leg Break, when he came back he was deployed in various makeshift roles in an underperforming team


So as well as mental toughness to overcome the fear of tackles again, he has shrugged off a LOT of negative barracking from own fans to truly shine


And THAT is how british players make it in the Premiership (as opposed to being David Bentley billy-big-boots ideas-above station merchants, complaining about # foreigners in game. Be good enough dammit!)


As for Napoli being a test, media was full of it before game

Once again tho, none of this translates to anything unless it's sustained for a whole season

Top of Serie A, supposedley one of the best leagues in the world, swept aside,and according to Souness, "a really stiff test". Tottnum aspirations of league title, Champions League, signed shed loads of supposedly quality players also beaten. Yet we are in crisis, paper thin squad, yada yada yada, and yet Yanited are having a blip. The media love in with Yanited knows no bounds does it?

Media love in with Utd? That's the funniest thing you've ever said, we're getting torn to shreds at the moment.

Had to laugh at a Daily Mail 'headline' though, More misery for Moyes as Pogba and Tevez shine for Juve

Tevez? WTF, how many years is that going back? :)


Didn't see the Arsenal game but saw the goals, both very classy...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
