Isn't there a fatal flaw in this cunning plan...the winner of the FA Cup qualifies for the Europa League?

Regrettably more and more of these c**nts are going to home games and can be overgeard talking about finance for their latest business projects, and cost of child care, and all sorts of other non football related guff. Unfortunately this seems to be something we will have to get used to more and more, and not just at the Arsenal. Ticket prices are already out of reach for a large percentage of those that would love to go, used to go but can't. And it's not just football. Rugby, boxing (I'm talking major title fights here) and tennis comes to mind. Would love to go but unfortunately Twickenham and Wimbledon prices are beyond my reach.

I agree with all of the above. I've not been to White Hart Lane this season as I can no longer afford it. I get my footballing fix at Dulwich Hamlet these days and to be honest I think I enjoy it more there where the fans wouldn't dream of booing their own players and who get behind the team week in week out even when they are three-nil down as was the case last Saturday.

I used to go quite regularly when my son played for Dulwich Hamlet Youth, but haven't been for a while, might start going gain, more in my price bracket and always good fun

OK I've calmed down now.


Both of my boys' teams got 2-2 draws yesterday, although the park match was far more entertaining. Must make an effort to get to DHFC more often.


Anyway back to my earlier comments but changing sport. I actually like going to Wimbledon (tennis), but remember not so many years ago sitting behind a couple of gents checking their e-mails on their Blackberries (this was in a world before i phones, well before they were universal) whilst the tennis match was on and being quite surprised. Fast forward this to Friday, when I was at Old Colfeans near Blackheath whilst the rugger was on. I was playing badminton but could hear the roars from the lounge as England came back to beat Wales. I checked the score occasionally and it was a rowdy if good natured audience, but again imagine my surprise to see a handful glued to their i-phones whilst the match was on. Doing what?? And not kids.

Jeez, shocking indeed if true.


Anyway, whatever Harmison's being paid, victory for Ashington FC tonight in his first game in charge. #HarmysArmy

I'll believe that when I see it. But at least more and more people are calling for it, and the clubs really can't justify not doing it. However they'll say something along the lines of "to continue to provide the best league in the world it is important that we invest this money in the best talent otherwise they'll go elsewhere". Bit like bankers and bonuses innit.

But more importantly, what a bloody match last night! Obviously I was happy with the end result, but hand on heart I was well in to it like I've not been in to a match for quite a while. Great entertainment.


Loved how Balotelli was chasing everything and wasting time at the end. Spurs p[layers looked like they wanted to slap him (understandably).

Yeah, great match. Pity about the result. I think Spurs deserved a draw but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Nevertheless great entertainment.

I just knew when Balotelli came on he was going to score and so it proved. I'm glad he's finally off the mark because there is no doubting his quality. He's suffered in a similar way to Soldado in that the way the team is set up to play doesn't suit his natural game.

Yep, quality player, but doesn't fit Rogers' style, and Rogers doesn't seem to be the type to bend at all. You can't expect a player to totally change to fit in, otherwise you'll lose their best atributes. Surely they can meet half way? Last night he gets a chance in the box, and he scores. Says it all.


And yeah, either side would have been worthy winners. Liked the way Spurs went for it, they didn't look like an away team.

Re Football prices, I think they will come down as a result of the deal but right now West Ham are one of only 3 clubs in the Premiership to offer adult tickets for ?20 (C list fixtures admiitedly)I can't knock them too much. aAd when we move to OS I think they'll offer great deals to fill it so I am looking forward to a family season ticket type deal.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
