Anyway, now that the season is over, how do we fell overall? (apologies for Premiership focus)


I thought it was a cracker. I have obvious disappointments, and yesterday was possibly slightly anti-climatic but there was PLENTY to get your teeth into this season


Tight race between several teams at the top

Congested bottom half where so many teams got sucked in

mini-miracle revivals at Sunderland and Palace

sense of change in the Natural Order of Things

That Wilshire goal


etc etc

aye, well done city. on a more mundane note, sam can go on about safety and 13th, but we've been relegated on more than 40 points before, with better teams playing better football.

A horrible year. Distubed by reports in the press saying he's safe in his job.


On a happier note Cole retires from international football.

Man City fully deserved it. Scored the most goals and played some fantastic football along the way. Does Mick Mac watch a different game to the rest of us? Hurling perhaps?


A very disappointing season at Spurs. Played dead boring football under AVB. Not impressed with Sherwood. Took some hidings off the big teams and beaten three times by the Hammers. Wasted money on seven players who'd never played in the Premiership before. The chairman and DOF have a lot to answer for. We need stability at the club. I'm now of the opinion that Harry should never have been sacked despite him taking his eye off the ball when the England job came up.

Not keen to see the most expensively constructed team winning on this occasion. Good as they are I feel its a shame.


I think a Liverpool win would have been a success for coaching and a coach who achieved the sum of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. A team for less than 100m winning the league would have been good to see. Call me an old romantic, but I'd like to have seen that and Mourinho's tactics against Liverpool were just destructive, I don't like to see that winning through either. Rodgers showed some weaknesses too of course.


Man City are a possession team with the best players.


Liverpool was very much, we will score more than you. Great fun and the best season for a while, for me.


What will be interesting is whether Liverpool now spend as the others have done. They will probably need to as they significantly overperformed their resources this year.

i agree entirely

I'm all for taking a younger team to the WC and hope he drops the likes of Lampard.


BUT


If we do get to say a quarter final and Baines gets injured, I think I'd have liked to have had Cole's experience to step in. Not a fan of the man but can't really fault the player even if he is past his peak.

Latter stages? If England are good enough to get out of their group they are a better team than I thought.

Noone thought too much about the euro 96 team going into it, amazing how a bit of success can turn a national mood around and make legends out of players, people were screaming for shearer to be dropped prior to that, leave alone the likes of sick-note!!


Of course in reality I'm invclined to agree....but the national mood could do with a bit of lifting (or are my just projecting my own mood thanks to these endless EFFING GREY CLOUDS!!!!)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
