I think United finishing 4th is an improvement not an achievement. Are you now getting your kicks out of finishing ahead of United in 3rd? Times haven't changed that much but with maybe 2 or 3 quality players Arsenal will be title contenders like they used to be. Same for United. Jeez I'd rather Arsenal win the league than Chelsea any day as they can play football that's great to watch.


As for Barca possibly winning a treble, I would argue that the Spanish league is easier to play in as there are less high intensity games than in England. They also won the Copa Del Rey playing at home. Madrid wouldn't allow the final to be played in their ground.


By the way, where is the evidence of Yanited 'laughing at Arsenal'?

What Alan said and shouldn't you be rejoicing in your victory rather than having a go at your rivals?


Now, here's a thing you won't see too much of - a Spurs fan praising the Arsenal - I thought your team did yourselves proud yesterday. It's refreshing that a top club like Arsenal take the FA Cup seriously, it has not been forgotten in some quarters that Man United once opted out of the competition to pursue the World Club Championship and were knocked out early against lowly opposition this season.

I'd like to congratulate Arsene Wenger on his six triumphs in the competition, a feat that I very much doubt will be equalled by many others and one in the eye for those so-called football fans, many of whom who support the club, that his time was up (yourself included PD, if I recall correctly). And what a goal from Sanchez, a magnificent strike worthy of winning such a prestigious competition or any other come to think of it. It has to be said though that Aston Villa apart from not turning up, simply weren't good enough. Anyway, congratulations and enjoy your gloating, especially at work on Monday.

You're forgetting the context Jah. The FA pressed Utd to go to the WCC in order to boost England's WC 2006 bid...

> lowly opposition this season.


Who? What? Where?...

There isn't any. Wenger got pilloried by the press for once suggesting that finishing 4th was akin to winning a trophy when pressed why his club hadn't won a trophy for such a long time... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/feb/19/arsene-wenger-arsenal-fourth-place

Much respect to Jah and his comments, what with him being a Spurs fan and all that


I'm very happy as a Gooner to see our club win so decisively yesterday. I'm also glad it's a London club and only wish I could have taken my son to the parade


As for this ball achingly knocking of other clubs, FFS enjoy the moment & grow up. It's a beautiful game that needs teams to play it

Another year with no old firm league games. I was actually hoping Rangers would come up this time but it looked comfortable for Motherwell.


There is even reference to a "stramash" at the end. What a great word.


FT: Motherwell 3-0 Rangers (Agg: 6-1)

Posted at 16:55

Disgraceful scenes at the final whistle as Rangers substitute Bilel Mohsni clashes in an ugly scene with Motherwell striker Lee Erwin, After what seems like an exchange of words, Erwin pushes Mohsni in the back and the Tunisian reacts by launches a kick then a punch at the Motherwell man's head. There's then a good old-fashioned stramash by a group of players as Motherwell fans invade the pitch to celebrate.

Not like the players are setting an example.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
