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...

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
