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?

      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.
