A lot of people said, even before Fergie retired, that the time to be Utd's manager was after the first one.

If I was a Spurs fan I would be worried about his general nagative demeanour and playing style, Spurs like Utd have an attacking tradition. Noises coming from OT is that he was more concerned about how to stop the opposition than Utd going forward. He was a defender as a player, I think it's just the way he is and he won't change.

I can see him going abroad to get out of the limelight like Steve Maclaren did, or maybe Celtic if Lennon moves south...

Celtic have an attacking tradition too - so no thanks.

No really, well I never did, you're so well up on these things aren't you? So back to the question then. Van Gaal was never likely to go to Spuds while he had a hole in his arse is the most likely response.

Rafa plays boring football and doesn't change things (especially not in a positive way) when things need changing. I know he's much loved at Liverpool, and I think he's a good man, but his footy didn't do much for me.


Yes the champs league win was incredibly exciting, but he can hardly be credited with masterminding a second half come back from being 3-0 down.

The same could be said of Tim Sherwood at Spurs. A clueless twonk in my opinion. Good luck to Giggs though.


He may not be the chosen one but he is the one who chooses to shag his brother's wife.

Giggs has two important advantages over Sherwood- been at the club all his life and would have the respect of everyone. Guardiola anyone?

    • 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.
