I entered 2-1 West Ham, then thought "nah, don't be silly" and went 2-2. Damn it!!!!



Really enjoyed watching them today, but AM I hink you're just trying to wind people up. BFS has been there a while, it is only now that they are playing nice football, and I honestly believe that is despite him rather than because of him.


Although to give him his due, they looked really good at the back today, and I think he's probably put the steel in to the team.

It's when he says things like


?There are two types of coaches. There?s coaches like me who weigh up the opposition and ask the team to adjust. Fergie was similar. Jose [Mourinho] is similar. Then there?s Ars?ne, who won?t adjust. There?s Brendan [Rodgers], who looks like he won?t adjust. There?s Manuel Pellegrini, who looks like he won?t adjust, even in the Champions League. He seems to favour what he?s got. City are quite open."




That he just comes across as an arrogant knob. Even if there is truth in what he's saying, the man's ego is just enormous!

I'm just having a bit of fun Otta. I'm upset that maxxi chose to be abusive towards me but PD has done the same. I spent 6 months working at Upton Park and loved every day being able walk by the pitch, walk down the corridors by the managers office and the dressing rooms and finding out how much KB had difficulty in keeping a PA who would want to work with her. I hope they don't regret leaving there as it has history. I always see football grounds as being sort of churches dotted here and there around the country. That was like working in one.


However I sincerely don't thing SA is as bad as some fans think and I think his point which you referred to about some managers not being adaptable is perfectly valid. When money allows it they may well choose another manager to take them to another level but that's in the future.


Anyone remember Nigel Adkins? He was doing a great job at Southampton most people thought. He got sacked and the now Spurs manager took over. The point is that Southampton must have thought they were ready to improve on what he had achieved. When WH get to that point they will say adios to BFS.

He might be an arrogant cnut but I think he's spot on with that. As soon as I saw the line-up with two up front away from home I thought they'd have problems in midfield and that proved to be the case. Second half was a lot different when they brought Dzeko off. Terrific header by Sakho for the winner.

Maybe, maybe not. Do you actually know how much of it is his achievement?

You can't.


Look at Liverpool, was last season about Rogers' tactocs and style, or just about Suarez?


Is this season (so far) all about Rogers getting ot wrong, or about players not doing a job?



I can't prove BFS doesn't deserve all the credit he'll no doubt take. And no one else can prove he does.

Don't worry, he's fine, everyone is lauding him now so he may even be tempted to leave for a bigger club. I think he's just the man to take Celtic to the next level.

A good tribute, some great players speaking there. Spurs were early pioneers in Europe, and interesting how BN said we are nothing if were not in Europe. Perryman said he was still an influence on the successes of the 80s.


You need another Bill Nicholson soon.

Song will revert to type by Christmas, meaning he'll be as energetic as a lethargic cart horse. Jenko is class and is getting some good experience.

I wonder if we Arsenal fans have become blind to Song's virtues?


I was glad to see the back of him, didn't think he would work out at Barcelona and was glad we didn't resign him


But he DID have some great games for us and it is possible he is maturing as a person and able to tone down his more petulant side. West Ham's gain...

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
