Totally agree Jah. That was easily the worse performance I've witnessed for a loooooong time. Not just a couple of players, but virtually the whole outfield team were inept. Roy Keane was right about Carrick's postmatch interview summing up the team's performance...devoid of any passion.

Yep, Carrick is a good player, but not a leader. He was actually shrugging his shoulders in that interview, something Keane would never have done. I'm beginning to wonder if this lack of fight is actually rubbing off from Moyes. I've said it before, all his interviews lack conviction, there's never any positivity with him (apparently he was known as Dithering Dave at Everton), instead all he offers is a ''we'll try our best, try and win the next game'' mentality...not good enough. And no, we don't want BFS :)

Always said Moyes wasn't up to it but neither are many of his players. ?520k a week to RVP and Rooney and not a shot on target, and RVP blazing over the bar with the goal at his mercy and then blamimg his team mates during the interview after the game. May he have many years at United. And doubtless come summer, Rooney will be wanting away again.

Are you sure about that, if an English team win the cup will 4th place miss out? I had assumed that they'd made a space for the cup winners?

Oh RD how desperate you rags have become. You suddenly become blind to the number of "wobblys" your own dear shrek has thrown in the past when he didn't get his his way and blackmailed his way back into your affections. I remember many of your so called fans burning his shirt when he threw strops in the past, and when you gave him what he wanted you all forgave him en masse. You rags really do have selective memories, and then you have the temerity to round on those that remind you of your selective memory. While we are at it, Yanited "fans" need to be reminded that supporting a club is for life through thick and thin, and not just during the good times, unlike many of the plastics that reside in London, Surrey, Hampshire anywhere in fact bar Manchester. No club has a divine right to win anything, as you lot are no finding out. Like I said before you've fast become like the child whose wealthy parents have become bankrupt but refuses to give up his pony.

That is good news, always had a soft spot for the Hamlet as my eldest son played for the youth side a few years back.

And RVP on 220k so 520k a week for two players who couldn't muster a shot on target last night, bargain.

Did you see the comments attributed to RvP about his team mates being in the channels he should be occupying? Not like Dutch players to lay the blame for everything at someone else's door.

Always someones elses fault with RVP. Probably the little boy inside him is to blame, don't you think?

Twitter was ahead of the curve over the Dalglish sacking, but can't see that one being true SJ. Up to now he's had the backing of the match going supporters, especially at away games. If this changes then he will be on dodgy ground...

"Arsenal will one day have a similar problem when Wenger leaves, I hope you're taking notes "


oh gawd is this ever true. It's why I have been so anti all the anti-Wenger sentiment amongst (not a small) contingent of Arsenal fans


that said, I expect we will get Pep to replace him, so I'm not tooooo worried

      18th Birthday Venue needed

      By eastdulwichavenger · Posted

      Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore

      ‘Welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday 16th September)

      By vladi · Posted

      You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
