Lot more history than that I think.


Swans board doesn't sack usually - not in 10 years -

but issues with the agent, the fact everyone seems to think

ML was leaving in the summer and as the board said, the gradual

erosion of Swansea's principles.


Chico didn't do any play acting against Cardiff - so maybe a

Garry Monk had a quiet word.


Stoke - Swansea next up - not one I would have gone for the Swans

in - but will be interesting if they can get a point.

I just about managed to stay awake for the pool (thank God they were on first) before passing out on the sofa.


Yeah, very pleased to see them win that in that style. That's exactly the sort of match they'd have lost in previous years (or last week even).


I was also pleased to see Gerrard afterwards acknowledge that they'd dropped 2 points and missed an opportunity last week, and that they couldn't afford mistakes what with Spurs breathing down their necks (very good result for them last night too!).

Jose Mourinho would love to see Celtic playing in the Premiership.


The Chelsea boss has won titles in England, Italy, Portugal and Spain but knows that few clubs have the magic of Celtic.


With the second biggest ground in Britain Celtic are ideally placed to add to the 'Premiership brand' a unique combination of history, passion and drama.


Stars such as Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Clarence Seedorf have gone on record with their admiration of all things Celtic with the Chelsea boss in no doubt that the hoops would bring a new dimension to the Premiership.


"Ive thought a few times over the years about Celtic moving down to England," he told The Sun.


"When I have been in England I have asked my colleagues why Celtic are not playing in the Premier League. They are a big club, with a big support and a famous history.


"They had a strong run last season in the Champions League, but they will always be limited because competition does not seem to be there for them up in Scotland.


"It wouldn't be easy to make it happen, the problem would be an agreement with teams who would not want to drop out of the leagues down here.

I like to think fans are different and everyone is an individual.

Chelsea had a national front element from what I hear and had a combat 18 element which is placing them in an awkward right wing position.


No class with that element for sure but im sure they have decent fans too.

The day Celtic are admitted to the premier league is the day Scottish football dies (cries of 'what Scottish football?') - I don't care about celtic/rangers and their infantile squabbles but the depth of football north of the border which would surely suffer irreparably.


But if they do maybe we could invite a few other footballing third world nations to send in their best too - Iceland's top team maybe and Ireland and - where exactly is San Marino and Liechtenstein?

I am surprised a team for whom a significant majority of their fans claim the English as imperialit oppressors constantly, want to be in our league and I am not sure a team who large sections of their support glorify terrorism would be that welcome in England either. Too much putrid old school stuff in the tedious and romanticised 'old firm' crap, leave it in Glasgow and Ulster as far as I am concerned....



Why don,t Celtic join the Irish league that,s where they belong...

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
