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...

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
