Ahah!


EC - Celtic won it so good competition

UEFA - Celtic got to final so good cup

CWC - ...


I see where you're going with this but at least I'm up front about my bias


EC - for league WINNERS

CWC - for cup WINNERS

UEFA cup - the rest

I may remember watching that but a but vague. Beating Anderlecht and on penalties. Can't remember the goalkeeper, was he a stand in hero ? Remember Brian Moore commenting I think.

That was the UEFA Cup, Mac. The second time we won it. Tony Parkes was the reserve goalie (currently a goalkeeping coach at Spurs) who was the hero.


We were the first British club to win a European trophy by winning the Cup Winners' Cup in '63 by beating Athletico Madrid 5-1 in the final. I doubt you'll remember that.

They did indeed, but I was talking about how they've missed him overall, not just that game. In the same way we missed him for 7 of the 8 seasons he was with us.

Its a bit hard to be gracious when you have a perfectly good goal chalked off, although Pardew is a tool.

I know ratty might afford himself a wry smile, but I'd hate to wake up a Saints fan this morning, looking like there could be a firesale, even the 'ammers are getting stuck in... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2540136/EXCLUSIVE-West-Ham-talks-sign-Southampton-striker-Lambert.html

Morrison was full of potential when he was at United and they launched out of the door. Not sure he will ever fulfil the expectations that his formers employers had.

I'm going for - unstable but potentially top talent - needs manager who leans towards flair and creativity in his approach to the game to bring out the best - not gonna get that at Upton Park, might get it under Meulensteen then move on to a bigger club after a season or two.


But maybe that's just me and my unreasonable anti- big, lovable, good-old, bluff, honest, down-to-earth, I-say-what-I-like-and-I-like-what-I-blooody-well-say Samuel Allardyce.

Can't say I've heard that one, it's not appeared on any of the fans blogs or websites.

Rangers head for Administration again?? Will we ever get to play them again?



Rangers players refuse to accept 15% wage cut following crisis meeting at Murray Park


SHOCKED players booted out chief executive Graham Wallace's demands to accept the pay cut after the squad was gathered at the club's training ground by boss Ally McCoist.


RANGERS chief executive Graham Wallace's shock demands for Ibrox stars to accept a 15% wage cut was booted out by stunned players after a dressing room crisis meeting today at Murray Park.


It's understood the Gers squad was called together by boss Ally McCoist before he bowed out and left the talking to skipper Lee McCulloch.


Wallace has decided drastic action is needed to prevent the runaway League One leaders lurching towards administration before the end of the campaign, despite a ?22 million cash injection just 13 month ago under a share issue promoted by departed chief executive Chrles Green.

Quite right too, why should they accept a cut? They are not the cause of the mire that Rangers find themselves in.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
