It's quite a sensible move by Levy though still a bit of a gamble. He needed to appoint someone PDQ. So he promotes someone from within the club to steady the ship. If he's successful he's seen as a genius messiah and if he's not there will be plenty of top class coaches he can go for in the summer after the World Cup. Personally, I'm fed up with flavour of the month managers. Pottechini at Southampton seems to have been found out too. Six games without a win after such a promising start.


A few seasons ago Barcelona appointed from within (Pep Guardiola) someone with no managerial experience and look what happened there. Not saying we're in the same league as them as a club by any stretch of the imagination, just trying to be positive and upbeat about Sherwood's appointment.

Agree it's a sensible move to appoint Sherwood. It's quite feasible that Spurs could be level on points with Liverpool after the next two games. Crisis? What crisis?

With some of the teams above Man Utd having to play each other in the next few games, this is our last chance to get back in the mix. Hoping for more snore draws like last might's match.

Merry Christmas!...

Thought Liverpool looked damn good today despite losing. Pretty much a match for City in all areas of the pitch in what was a very competitive game and really the chances seemed equal, just a keeper error between the team's. Quite impressive I thought and could be in with a shout later in the season.

Another underwhelming performance from Spurs today. Bring back Harry, all is forgiven. And while we're at it, can we have Gareth Bale back too please.


Liverpool, a little unlucky today but they were up against a side who I think will win the title. It's Man City for me.


Anyone else want to make a prediction seeing as we're almost halfway through the season?

Didn't see the City game but from the MoTD highlights Liverpool deserved a draw. It's so tight at the top and bottom it changes week to week, so the January transfer window, injuries, Europe and Cups could have a big say as to who'll win the PL. City should win it based on their current squad, but I have a sneaky feeling Chelsea could nick it, esp if they buy a striker like Falcao in the January window. Liverpool look like genuine challengers, and although I think (hope!) they won't win the PL, they will have a big say who will, as they have to play City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle and Spurs at home, where their form is very good. The problem Utd have is that we are playing catch-up with 4 teams, not just one. One or two of them might implode but not all four. I think (hope!) we'll get top 4 at the expense of Arsenal and/or Liverpool.

At the bottom I can see Cardiff and Palace going down, purely based on their limited quality and size of squad, together with lack of PL experience, which leaves 1 from about 6 teams for the other spot. Most years a team goes on a bad end of season run and gets sucked into the mire, and I have a hunch this year it'll be Norwich...sorry Delia

I did some swotting on this, as though City are the obvious choice they haven't been that good away from home. They have played each of the other top 8 teams once. Results, 6 wins, 1 defeat. The only defeat was the only game they played away from home. So they have 6 'top 8' away games to come.


Contrast that to Liverpool and Chelsea, who have only played 1 home game each and thus have 6 more to come. Also given that Liverpool have no CL distractions, are good at home and do pick up points on the road, I'll plump for them. I wouldn't bet on it though.

Key is WBA game - lose that and Sam will be out.


Malky, Pepe Mel & Harry all seem to be in the frame.


Not looking good for hanging on to Ravel Morrison either with this ridiculous "West Ham have to quadruple his wages if there's a ?10 mill offer for him or sell him" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/west-ham/10539972/West-Ham-face-losing-Ravel-Morrison-over-extraordinary-clause-for-concern.html


Predictions - Chelsea to win Premier, Man C & Liverpool 2nd & 3rd with Arsenal pipping a demoralised Man U into 4th.


Irons to be relegated with Sam and survive without him.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
