I wouldn't get too carried away as an Arsenal fan about the result. It was fun, and it's better than losing it, and it keeps the optimism at the club going


But it is what it is - a meaningless tie, made worse these days by major teams spending summer on far flung tours and not being "ready"


I take PD's point about if we lost we woulld have been criticised after money spent, but we could brush that criticism off easily. The real games start next week


Now, having said all that - the fixture still gives me a tingle every year. It's like the lights going down and hearing the intro tape at the start of a gig - "here we go...."

Absolutely. Chambers looked really good yesterday, not overawed at all. And nobody is getting carried away, but I'd rather win any game than lose it. Yes?

Honest? Hmmm. He said it wasn't all about money, so if he hadn't been offered more by City would he have gone anyway? I some how doubt it. The only player in recent years that actually left for less money was Cesc.

He made his mistakes of course, but who hasn't. Even with that "problem" he deserved to beat Argentina and get to a world cup QF in my opinion, with 10 men and a good record preceeding that.


Jeez - If I were English I have had him back in a flash ahead of Steve McLaren or Hodgson



Edited to say - his comments about disability being punishments deserved to get him the sack and if he still believes this sh1t then I'd guess he'd fail any interview.

Am I reading too much into this or do Legia sound quietly confident.


"Legia Warsaw would like to thank the UEFA disciplinary bodies for the prompt organisation of the appeal procedure.


"At the same time, we would like to inform you that until the official decision of the UEFA appeal body is announced the club will not issue any further communication."

REPORTS in the Polish Press say Legia Warsaw have lost their appeal over their Champions League KO to Celtic.


A leading Polish newspaper today reported that the Poles? appeal had been thrown out meaning Celtic WILL face Maribor in next week?s Champions League play-off round first leg.

What heinous crime did Legia commit to get bounced, and did it contribute to the battering they dished out to Celtic?

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Sue · Posted

      Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!

      Fireworks

      I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
